“Sometimes
one needs to withdraw. When we are going through a healing process and
doing a self-study, we need to sustain a prayer field. If we go out into
the world, we may get identified and fall, so we must allow ourselves
to be alone for some time. At some point, we must also go back out into
the world and relate to others. The key here is being prepared to give
of ourselves and wanting others to be happy. The question is whether or
not we are able to embark on a higher level of study by being a channel
of generosity, sharing our silence and love with others – even if they
don’t know it.”
Sri Prem Baba
