Although meditation does help you stay calm and levelheaded and very in touch with yourself and your surroundings... it hasn't helped me heal emotionally in the same way being around and talking to people who I know love me and care for me... know what I mean?
So I think I understand where Saras is coming from. Although he does meditate and yes, meditation is very powerful and very spiritual as an experience, it is still a wholly different emotional experience from being around people who care for and care about you. I guess there was too much turmoil under the surface for Saras, and he wasn't getting both sides of the stick back in Dubai with his father or Gumaan. He only really had meditation. He didn't really have any attention, physically, emotional and mental affection from anyone besides his best friend Sunny.
This is my personal take on it anyway... just because of my own experiences. But I hope it makes sense! 😆
