In this age no one is able to remain aloof from the general human society.
Therefore one need not go into the forest in a secluded place to try to make spiritual advancement.
Much better idea is that one associate with devotees in the Krishna Consciousness Centres;
this will bring better spiritual results than living in the forest.
Krishna Consciousness is possible when one is in association of devotees.
