Religion is the surest way to avoid God.

Don’t give energy to your thoughts. Become a witness — indifferent, aloof, distant. Just see the thoughts, and don’t be in any way involved in them. Note the fact: the thoughts are there; but don’t choose this way or that, don’t be for or against, don’t be pro or con. Just be a watcher. Let the mind-traffic move, just stand by the side and look at it, unaffected by it, as if it has nothing to do with you.

I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.
