A sacred place is nothing but a right space for meditation and right conditions. If you are feeling very angry, that is not the time to meditate: it will be going against the flow. If you are feeling very greedy this is not the time to meditate, you will not find it easy.

If it is not holy, if it is not in tune with the sacred, it is not a holiday. People carry their world with them.
