Alone, We Shall Reach Loneliness
One can never reach union with the Lord by oneself for all creatures have come into being in relation with one another and they exert mutual influence on each other.
Sitting in a place and repeating litanies never helped to bring out one's divine nature. Man has to stimulate every single dimension of his being and draw himself closer to the Lord through his every cell and with both his internal and external body members along with all human beings and the resting creatures. That is true devotion and closeness [to God]. Likewise, retreating to a cave - secluding oneself -and escaping the world and its realities will not lead to achieve union with the Lord. One has to act in all dimensions, with every possibility and every opportunity. To neglect a single dimension or a single possibility will indeed impair one's move and its result...
The Spirit of God heeds most for those who are less worried about themselves and more concerned about the Lord and divine matters. He cares about those who care less about themselves. He guides and teaches more those who try to teach and guide others. He helps out those who attach more importance to others salvation than their own; and He leads them to their salvation and union for their main concern is realization of divine laws and plans. The extent of His presence and involvement in our lives depends on the extent of our presence and involvement in divine affairs
Let's not forget that to know oneself, one has to forget oneself; and to know God is to know oneself, indeed.
Holy spirits and guided people care more about those who are more involved and work hard to spread divine commandments and presence - those who give priority to divine will and schemes than their own wants and plans.
