Loneliness can only be filled by being alone
*Chapter 10 - Loneliness*
Someone's company cannot get rid of your loneliness. Even if it does so, it is very short-lived. In spite of being in company, you can be lonely.
So loneliness can only be filled by being alone. If you can be comfortable being alone for some time, then you will not feel lonely.
When you don't feel lonely you can spread joy around you. You will not be a boring person. If you are lonely then you can be boring to others and that will make you lonelier.
If you see that you are bored with your own company then how much more boring must you be for others? There is something common between boredom and love.
Have you thought about it? It is repetition. When you are in love you repeat. It doesn't make any sense but you go on repeating.
Have you seen people sending cards on which they write love, love, love,' so many times. If it is written once, it is enough.
But the mind does not get satisfied. It wants to write so many times. Repetition. Repetition brings boredom too.
So it is a cycle. If you're bored and get more bored and then a spring of love opens up within you. That was the purpose of the rosaries people used.
When you use a rosary you get so bored, saying the same word a million times. You are so bored that the boredom simply bursts out.
And then something happens, a fountain of energy rushes through you. Then you come to love.
