Its a good quote but I don’t think society and world can support this. Why is there a room to begin with and why do you have to be forced to sit down in it. Completely counter intuitive. Same reason why meditation works for those 20 min.

It is just a quote from Pascal's Thoughts so more like haiku or ad hoc observation then a commandment.

You don't need to sit 24 hours alone in an empty room - you just should be able to - this is my interpretation.

It is like '- Master, how long should I meditate? - 20 minutes is enough. - But I don't have time for that. - If you don't have time then meditate for one hour.'
