From the website of Dallas Willard, noted Christian speaker, writer and also a philosophy professor at the University of Southern California:
The problem with solitude is not being alone, it is convincing ourselves that we are unnecessary, that the world will not collapse if we go away. Solitude is the discipline of letting go of our self-importance, letting go of our belief that we are necessary for the world to continue.
This strikes me as akin to Yoda's assertion about "letting go."
