Spirituality and Solitude

I have been recently reading or reading about the Christian spiritual masters from Cassian onwards and most seemed to be unattached (living in or moving between religious communities), or let those attachments go, e.g. Augustine. Similar comments apply to the Buddha (walked out on family) of the Sufi mystic Ibn Arabi.

Is there a lesson here, that spiritual enlightenment is not pursued 'en familie'?

In friendship
