Nisargadatta Gita
📚. Prasad Bharadwaj
🌻107. Having acquired and understood the knowledge 'I am', stay there in seclusion and don't wander around here and there. 🌻
Getting stabilized in the knowledge 'I am', even after having understood it, is extremely difficult. Your identification with the body is one thing that gets in the way and the other is the mind, which, although it has understood the teaching, is sub-consciously not prepared to accept it.
The mind keeps prompting you 'This can't be it, it's too simple', 'Try this', 'Try that', 'It must be very complex, search more' and so on.
Thus the wandering continues endlessly and you remain where you are. The Guru perceives this difficulty and hence advises you to stay in seclusion - not from society - but from thoughts, just in the sense of 'being' or 'I am' and never wandering away from it.
Remember that not wandering through physical seclusion maybe helpful but is quite secondary to the not wandering of thoughts when you seclude the 'I am' from the rest.
