D.: There are six centres in the body and there are corresponding centres in the world. M.

: Yes. What is in the world is in the body; and what is in the body is in the world also. D.: Is the sacredness of Benares a matter of faith, or is it externally also real? M.: Both. D.: Some people are attracted to one place of pilgrimage and others to another. Is it according to their temperaments? M.: Yes. Just consider how all of you born in different places and living in other lands are gathered here today? What is the Force which has attracted you here? If this is understood the other Force is also understood. 29th January, 1935 Talk 19. Mr. Grant Duff asked: Where are memory and forgetfulness located? M.: In the mind (chitta). 30th January, 1935 Talk 20. Mr. Evans-Wentz: Is solitude necessary for a Jnani? M.: Solitude is in the mind of man. One might be in the thick of the world and maintain serenity of mind; such a one is in solitude. Another may stay in a forest, but still be unable to control his mind. He cannot be said to be in solitude. Solitude is a function of the mind. A man attached to desire cannot get solitude wherever he may be; a detached man is always in solitude. D.: So then, one might be engaged in work and be free from desire and keep up solitude. Is it so? M.: Yes. Work performed with attachment is a shackle, whereas work performed with detachment does not affect the doer. He is, even while working, in solitude.
