Meditation gives the lasting joy of de-conditioning. When you give up your stories that are based on wrong notions, you feel true lightness and freedom. There is no joy in this world that can be compared to the joy of meditation.
Solitude is so important for spiritual upliftment. Retreating from an environment that causes distractions and contemplating in solitude always recharges the dull batteries and you come back with renewed vigor and passion. ~ Ajay Kapoor, author, "The Art of Deconditioning"
