Summary

This quote suggests that the human mind has the power to create an inner sanctuary through its thoughts, allowing an individual to find comfort and solitude even in the most isolated places. It implies that our minds have the ability to retreat from the external world and find solace by immersing ourselves in our own thoughts. Just like a hermit seeks seclusion from society, our minds can create a similar cocoon where we can find refuge, peace, and introspection.
