Delight in meditation and solitude. Compose yourself, be happy. You are a seeker.
Apply yourself to solitude. One who is given to solitude knows things as they really are.
One way leads to acquisition, the other leads to nirvana. Realising this a monk should take no pleasure in the respect of others, but should devote himself to solitude.
Solitude is happiness for one who is content, who has heard the Dhamma and clearly sees. Non-affliction is happiness in the world - harmlessness towards all living beings.
