"At times we can feel a sense of loneliness even when we are surrounded by many people. Sri Chinmoy suggests that we feel lonely when we use our mind to separate ourselves from other people. It is easy for the mind to be negative and when we are in a negative state of mind our ego comes to the fore, this is when we are likely to feel more lonely. Furthermore loneliness does not help us in any way but only contributes to our unhappiness.
The cure for loneliness is to use the qualities of the heart to stop judging things and to cultivate happiness."
Easy for you to say....I do not use my mind to seperate myself from people...death has seperated me.."He slowly took his final breath, 'twas me, my dear, who died a death."
Little do men perceive what solitude is, and how far it extendeth.
For a crowd is not company,
and faces are but a gallery of pictures,
and talk but a tinkling cymbal,
where there is no love.
