EMBRACE YOUR SOLITUDE

connect with their inner selves but also helps them
perceive their mistakes and flaws. This method of self-
realization gradually brings one out of oblivion, and
they form an understanding of things around them
with a fresh and refined perspective. The simple act of
spending time with themselves, away from the world
and society, either by meditating or sitting in silence
amidst nature, can make one resilient and strong,

needs to work hard to achieve success in life, but in
this rat race, he must not ignore that these worldly
possessions and achievements are not the purposes
of his being. He must take time out to introspect and
discover the true sense of his life.
Solitude is not loneliness. Far from it, solitude is
where one discovers that one is not alone. In this utter
materialistic world, many believe that meditation and
introspection are practices of bygone ages, but it is
indispensable to realize that spirituality is eternal,
just like the Almighty. Solitude not only helps one to
