You need not enter a monastery---the world today is your monastery and the struggles of daily life are monastic discipline; it is not what you do, but how you do it; not sitting in a hermitage that really matters, but sitting in the deep center of your own being. The wise man or woman can make the worldly life itself their hermitage, and worldly activities their means of liberation...
They can have their peace and have their world too just by spiritualizing their life in the world.
