MEDITATE WHILE YOU WORK : A NEW PATH FOR A NEW AGE (22)

Now, you might say here, 'Well, if that is what we are really doing,

then what is wrong with recognized spiritual practices ? Let us forget

man and everything else. Even to serve somebody with detachment means

mingling with other people and living in the world - all these things

are awfully upsetting. Let us get away from it all and go to a quiet

place where nature is in harmony with our aspirations. meditate a

little,a nd grow spiritual. What is the harm ?'. This is the harm:

as a candidate for solitude ? Are you not viewing yourself as a small

isolated being ? As long as you have that idea of yourself, how can

you achieve much for yourself or for others ?
