Without leaving his room he finds out Truth! He simply sits still! This is the source of his knowledge and strength. The conclusion is: learn to sit still, but not only bodily; it must also be mentally. Yet not only that, not only for half a minute or so, but to sit still patiently. He must wait the situation out. So much--if not most--of the world's evil and misery and wrong action is due to the inability to do it.
