Seclusion: Living in a Cave (video)

Cave life can be great, Afghanistan

"Not all who wander are lost," but some are. Wandering ascetics or shamans/shramanas like the Buddha very deliberately chose a way of life that was off the grid, independent, and aimed at complete liberation or moksha, which he uniquely defined as nirvana and nirodha, the "end of all suffering and all future rebirth," which can be accomplished in this very life.

But this is a different story of cave dwelling, not for the sake of meditation so much as getting off the grid and becoming free of money, society, and worldly entanglements. Spirituality? Not so much.
