PRACTICE DETACHMENT

A householder with Yogic tendency and spiritual inclination can practice meditation in a solitary and quiet room in his own home, or in any solitary place on the banks of a holy river during holidays. If he is a whole-time aspirant, or if he has retired from service, he can practice in such places throughout the year.
If you are a householder with spiritual thirst and capacity for intense Sadhana, yon cannot all of a sudden sever your connection with the family. Stay in seclusion for a week or a month to begin with. Then gradually prolong the period. In this way you will not feel in the least the pangs of separation.
