Being by myself in the last few months I have tried to grapple with thoughts on how to handle being alone.

I have come to realise the distinction between being alone and being lonely. There is a tremendous difference between loneliness and aloneness. When you are lonely you are thinking of the other, you are missing the other. Loneliness is a negative state. The fact of the matter is that the other is not there. Loneliness is absence of the other.

Aloneness is the presence of oneself. Aloneness is very positive. It is a presence, overflowing presence. You are so full of presence that you can fill the whole universe with your presence and there is no need for anybody.

In this state of Aloneness- I have started rediscovering the POWER OF ONENESS. This oneness has made be realise that my mind and heart are no longer separate from each other. Together they are entwined to to create the symphony of my existence.

I guess its just a small step towards enlightment and empowerment.
