Abandoning things is not the Solution

Sweet Mother,

There are times when I feel like abandoning all my activities—the Playground, band, studies, etc.—and devoting all my time to work. But my logic does not accept this. Where does this idea come from and why?

But when one wants to progress in the integrality of the being, this simplification is hardly advisable.
