WHY DO WE FEAR LONELINESS


Q: Gurudev, why do we fear loneliness? Why do we always long for someone’s
company?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
You feel this way because you have never gone deep into your inner Self.
You have not met your Self. The moment you become aware and realize your
inner true Self, I tell you, all fears and negativity simply disappear.

How can one meet one’s true Self? For a few moments just keep all your
roles aside and think, 'Who am I?' Go on asking yourself. When you
continuously question yourself this way, you sink deeper and deeper into
meditation, and then you will realize what the truth is. Once that happens,
there will be no place for any kind of hatred, negativity, and aversions.
In a matter of moments all this will simply vanish.

So it is a good exercise to keep asking yourself these questions. If you
feel like, you can do this every day for a few moments. Just sit with
yourself and go on asking yourself, 'Who am I?' As you do this, you will
experience that the mind becomes silent, and begins to settle, and that
very moment you becomes joyous and filled with happiness.

Param Pujya Gurudev’s Poem. *I Promise* • If I had to promise you something, what would it be ? • I can’t promise that you would always be comfortable Because comfort brings boredom and discomfort. • I can’t promise that all your desires will be fulfilled Because desires whether fulfilled or unfulfilled bring frustration. • I can’t promise that there will always be good times Because it is the tough times that make us appreciate joy. • I can’t promise that we will be rich or famous or powerful Because they can all be pathways to misery. • I can’t promise that we will always be together Because it is separation that makes togetherness so wonderful. • Yet if you are willing to walk with me, If you are willing to value Love ♥️ over everything else • I promise that this will be the most rich and fulfilling life possible. • I promise your l...
