Reflection
Solitude
It is in deep solitude that I find the gentleness with which I can truly love my brothers. The more solitary I am, the more affection I have for them.
— Thomas Merton
गहरे एकांत में ही मुझे वह कोमलता मिलती है जिससे मैं वास्तव में अपने भाइयों से प्रेम कर सकता हूँ। मैं जितना अधिक एकांतप्रिय होता हूँ, उनके प्रति मेरा स्नेह उतना ही अधिक होता है।
— थॉमस मर्टन

Why this matters:
Solitude is not an escape from others, but a refinement of how we relate to them. By stepping away from the friction of social expectation, we cultivate a inner softness that allows us to return to the world with a love that is less about our needs and more about their being.
यह क्यों मायने रखता है:
एकांत दूसरों से भागना नहीं है, बल्कि यह उनके साथ हमारे जुड़ने के तरीके का परिष्कार है। सामाजिक अपेक्षाओं के घर्षण से दूर होकर, हम एक आंतरिक कोमलता विकसित करते हैं जो हमें दुनिया में वापस आने की अनुमति देती है, एक ऐसे प्यार के साथ जो हमारी जरूरतों के बारे में कम और उनके अस्तित्व के बारे में अधिक है।
