But for us who can't afford it, I think it is still possible to find that peaceful spot within inspite of all the mad rush. I think the way to do this is to command your mind/body to engage in worldly business, but be unattached, just watch, don't identify your 'self' with mind and body. See <a href="http://srinig.com/2007/03/performing-action-without-attachment-to-reaction/" rel="nofollow">my interpretation of a popular verse from the Gita</a> for my views and thoughts on this. But don't ask me if I can really live this way. I'm still making efforts to bring this into practical terms on a consistent basis, but I know I'll get there in time. That’s true :D … solitude can inspire.

Solitude whether forced or voluntary will bring the us closer to the divine within. In my opinion, the ‘busyness’ we engage in rarely leaves us with time to reflect.
