‘Yah sarvatraanabhisnehah tattat
praapya subhaasubham naabhinandati na dveshti tasya prajnaa pratishtitaa.’

‘Yastvaatmaratireva syaat
aatmatruptascha maanavah aatmanyeva cha santusthtah tasya kaaryam na vidyate.’

Again, the Lord says: Do not live
amidst crowds. Seek a secluded spot. Go to the solitude of a mountain or a forest. Do not
talk to any one. Thus too does the Lord teach.

the command to light with seeking solitude. ‘But the Lord says this and that too'
In another place He says:
. He praises the rare souls who see the same Supreme Being in
all things.
'Sit alone; do not eat too much. He who
eats much cannot perform yoga:
nachaikaantamanasnatah.'
