Activity of the Wise People

Pick yourself a room for silence. Find it, for your own relief, so that you can take refuge in it whenever you want; in times of triviality as well as in times of bedazzlement; whether you were sad or joyful; in the time of peace as well as in the time of wrath; in comfort and tiredness; a room to which you can retire every day, for five, ten minutes, an hour… as you wish, in the morning or in the evening. This helps you keep your heart, gain your soul, go out to your world more peacefully and eloquently! There are people who, in order to foster their peace or to recover it, organize, from time to time, activities in which they entertain themselves, like a trip to another place, where they find solace in spaces and faces that mean nothing to them. What I am suggesting to you is something else, different, greater. If you can, do whatever you want. However, do not neglect the greater thing. This is the activity of the wise people.
