Recap:

• The less we like ourselves, the more we seek this in our external environment. 
• The more we like ourselves, the more comfortable we are being alone. To like ourselves, we need to practice sadhana. This will make us more secure and others around us more secure. We stop living to be liked (Viraga). 
• We should immerse ourselves into a space that encourages oneness, with no dependencies.

How to practice Bhakti (Devotion)?

1. Invest time in solitude (not sleeping, not interacting with others), which will lead to healing ourselves:
   1. Everyday - 1 hour 
   2. Every week - ½ day 
   3. Every month - 1 day
   4. Every quarter - 1 weekend
