In this video, I talk about loneliness, what it really is and how we can deal with it in the most effective manner. There is not a single person in this world who has not felt lonely at some point in time. Everyone without exception, has tasted the bitter taste of loneliness! The scorpion of loneliness has stung almost everyone! It's not that only the young and old people feel lonely, even kids, these days feel lonely, I've heard many kids say, I feel so bored and lonely! Now What actually is loneliness, and how can we deal with it successfully, this is what I'm gonna talk about today! Allow me to share with you a beautiful Sufi Story which will clearly tell you the reason behind your loneliness!
A man comes to a Sufi saint to get the initiation, he says, O Master, I've come to become your disciple, so kindly initiate me on the path, the master replies, I will, but first you send all the people back who are following you, The disciple looked behind, and to his utter amazement, found that there was no one following him, and so he said, O Master, I can see that there is no one behind me, where do you see the crowd, Then the Master says, sit down and close your eyes! The disciple does what the master says, and then he sees his father scolding him for his decision to follow the spiritual path, then he sees his mother begging him not to leave her, he see his wife in tears, and all those visuals and suddenly it struck the disciple what the Master wanted to say when he said, leave the crowd that's following you!
So you see this is our state! Our mind is so filled with this world that it's not at all possible to make any space for ourselves and so when we get to be with ourselves, we just can't bear it! And that's what is Loneliness all about!
Loneliness is the feeling that you experience when you just can not bear your own Presence, in other words, when you are left alone, you can't enjoy your own company! For more, kindly watch my video!
