If he is to be away from outer temptations which stimulate afresh and keep alive thoughts that he is desirous of subduing, then it is better he should be away from society. If he is to avoid the semblance of situations which may outwardly compromise him even though he is inwardly guiltless, it is again better that he should be away from society.
