You must learn the art of disappearance to protect yourself from the stupid! This art will save your time and your energy and it will keep your mind’s purity. And what is this art? It is to isolate yourself for a particular period of time from the society!

About This Quote

This quote, by psychiatrist Frank Lakey, is not only a good reminder for beginners, but also useful to advanced practitioners. He was speaking about the importance of being able to disappear into oneself in order to protect yourself from the world. It is also important to understand how the mind works and why it is so easy for people to be fooled. Frank Lakey points out that when you are in a crowd or in a room full of noise, you are much more likely to have your feelings hurt or your ideas trampled on when you are not paying attention. By being in a room when you are focused on deep meditation, when you are focused on one thing, when you are in your own space, you are much less likely to be hurt by other people’s thoughts and actions.
