When you alone, you are not alone, you are simply lonely-and there is tremendous difference between loneliness and aloneness
When you are lonely you are thinking of other..you are missing the other.......
Loneliness is a negative state...
You are feeling that it would have been better if the other were there-your friends, your wife, your mother, your husband, your beloved one.......
It would have been good if the other were there but the other is not........
Loneliness is absence of other.....
Aloneness is the presence of one self......
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...........
