Yes, it is better [not to talk with others except when necessary] if you want to do sadhana seriously – but if your vital cannot do without these things, it is no use forcing it. Entire retirement is not good – it makes people morbid and they plunge into a world of imaginations without any check from life and actuality. But to avoid useless talk and unhelpful social interchange is good, if the vital can be made to acquiesce in an applied and serious sadhana.
