Question:
What should I do if I am trying to live a life of quiet, but this just isn't happening due to my environment and all the various events of my life?
Answer:
If a person makes time every day for having some quiet, whether it’s 30 minutes or an hour, and during this time he is connected to that place [of quiet], even if this doesn’t change his life on a practical level, the fact that he has some time of the day where he connects to a very pure place is what will give him renewed energy.
As an analogy, all of us sleep every day, but does that mean that we need to sleep the entire day? No. It is just that we have some time for sleep, which renews us for the rest of the day. So too, when one has some time to connect to a pure, inner place which is not mixed with any of the troubles or pressures of life, this is enough to give a person a strong renewal.
Will this answer all of a person’s problems? No. Will it bring about a meaningful change, and provide a balance in one’s soul? It certainly will.
