I love silence. I rarely take after my Vipassana meditation retreat. But my parents, colleagues and friends think that I am depressed and they force me to be active(talking). I pinch time to be with me and I use headphones to avoid conversations and small talk. I get up at 4.30am and mediate and spend time with myself. Every word in this video is absolutely true. its very difficult among the normal worldly people to practice silence.
True true true! All of my life I have been lonely, unaccepted, rejected and all the stuff many of us know. The last three years have been devastatingly lonely - totally and utterly, day and night, especially night when awake for most of it - in the darkness, but yes, there is no choice but to go within and now as Guru Maharaji says, the only person worth having, is the one left behind when everyone has gone (not that there IS anyone - but I now know that I AM the one and enjoy it.
I have been alone for almost 3 years now and have been living outside of my backpack hopping and jumping off to different places. I am very sensitive to the noise and crowd of the big cities so basically I have been living close to the nature where I can limit my human encounters. I felt alone at some point but after spending so much time getting to know myself, I have learned that "Loneliness is the path to awakening". Love and life bless us all my fellow Humans out there.
They say that when you are fully detached from all people, things, habits, addictions, then you can attain "moksha" / liberation which means you will never end up in a deathbed of old age and dependent on a caretaker to help you out and endure pain and suffering as a result of ageing, disability, diseases, etc. It's almost like we can make life energies exit the body before it's too late. I'm sure it's far better than euthanasia which itself is painful no matter what they say. Best of all, if you are supremely lucky to somehow attain moksha, then you literally have 100% control over your soul. This means you can wait your soul until a perfect world is evolved and then be reborn into a perfect body yet again to live a perfect life and go. There is this invisible thing that is at the center of our pineal gland. They call it as the seat of the soul. Perhaps it's the off switch as well. I'm currently researching ways and means to enter state of samadhi as life is too short to waste off in the enjoyment of pleasures as 99.99999% humans and all animals, birds, etc. There's just 1 life where we are born ultra-conscious. This is when we have to take the risk and jump off the cliff they say. I am not convinced enough yet, as I cannot see something that I can touch or feel on the other side. Perhaps more spiritual practice will enable me to gain the ESP. But, when I look at this universe from a simulation perspective, ancient spirituality, yoga and meditation seem to be like tools to evolve a species to higher dimensional and technologically / genetically advanced species.
Hello Loving Life How wonderful. I am happy for you. You will go far. How is your nomadic life now since you posted that comment two years ago. I too am highly sensitive, I live in the city and work minimally. I prefer to be alone. One polishes oneself when alone. I love my monk path to God- it is all I wish for now. My life is for God, to Be Realized. I would be honoured to hear how your life is unfolding if you feel called to share. 😌🙏🏼
Aug 2019. Namaste Swami Sivananda. Loneliness means peacefulness and bliss for me. Whenever the opportunity arises where I can be on my own I grab it - loneliness is a gift. I spend a lot of my alone time out in nature and I love it! There's nothing like it! "priceless" PEACE&LOVE
This video says it all!!! I have been into meditation and spiritual path! This video says everything that an aspirant really needs! Once you go deeper Into the path, devouting most of your thoughts to it, you will naturally never be able to relate to the mundane world! But again, you are In a family! God never says deprive your family! Do your duties with much affection. Serve people with compassion. Yet remain blissful within yourself through meditation. Loving all is the first step towards God. It is all about complete balance for those who are in the family life. Stay blessed!!
This is really great advice. Very simple and easy to understand. I've been struggling with loneliness recently and depressive episodes. Mainly because, like this video states, too much worldliness... The music and sound and scenery is also breathtaking... No words!
This helped me relise my parents, and family never abandoned me- I was set aside to learn these things and make them so. I am not unloveable for not having friends; I am the light out of this worlds darkness- it would be nice to have another light, though I may just not be ready or perfected to meet one just yet.. thank you
It will always be lonely without feeling GOD within. Once you feel GOD within- your soul becomes your best friend, guide and bliss- a natural consequence of being with oneself as every moment would be a moment of truth with the DIVINE.
This is the first thing that I can relate to totally. There is nothing like this in the Christian world but those who follow God reach THIS place, not the 'church'.
Christianity is screwed up at many levels but many Hindus have reached God through xtian means so it is the implementation gone wrong but Jesus was right
don’t be to harsh. my guru says catholics are devotional. be tolerant. if there is “an edge” in your heart when you encounter others you view as less aware.. that shows our own lack of at one ment.
I understood this concept in my 20s. When I staeted to stay alone,I faced many problems at my working place. They started to call me antisocial,day dreamer, inactive etc . Then I felt I was misguided and confused.
Thanks a lot I needed this, now that I'm going through a difficult time!!! I have always loved loneliness and people criticize that I am not socializing... But I like to stay in my company, if I'm not able how can I feel myself well with other people, and most of all I don't like those empty talks, it sucjs me of all my energy I know now that I'm doing and acting right, despite that people turn away from me, it doesn't hurt me anymore!! Namaste💖💖💖
Same here....empty talks pain me & suffocate me like no other...but that's only half the job...the lone time so obtained has to be put to good use too....
I have been lonely for 7 months or so after a parting ways with a partner. I’ve been wondering why I can seem to have any luck on finding a new one, women stop talking to me out of nowhere, dates fall through, they lose interest or I lose interest. This is the answer i’ve been hopelessly searching for. This loneliness is a sign that I need to search within to find and accept myself completely before I can find my partner. It’s the universe/god/guides (whatever you want to call it) poking me with a stick telling me to make good use of this time. Thank you.
And you can witness your own enlightenment through meditation around noisy place. Heck, you can manifest your thoughts while you are driving. This is new energy of one's spiritual belief.
I was alone in the beach i had fear of crabs or the water , after a while all the worries went away i bursted out in laughter while observing the crabs playing in water , i realised the utmost joy of being in solitude and the freedom the absolute freedom irrelevant to time
Right... solitude is a more accurate term...everything you see or perceive is an illusion stop crying about loneliness...u guys are missing the point of going in... you're not really a human .....yeah we have to stay on the path lol..
...and all this while I thought and believed that "Loneliness" was a Killer.. Now I realise how wrong I was..... thank you for sharing this great teaching of Truth...
Very blissful teachings. Meditation is knowing yourself and God... Feeling God...and this is actually possible when u r alone and have an urge to know who am I...how to know God. Thanks for beautiful video.
This one is hard hitting. Perhaps in my next life. As a householder I have committed to my children and to help those in need even though some of them drain my spirit
No need of getting fear of being lonely... It's pleasant atmospheres... If you forget the past and concentrate on meditation.... Yoga... Start doing household work without depending on others and admire Nature.. Talk and play with children👶👧👦...!!
Loneliness is a reaction to the ego’s need for the past. No past, no judgement. No judge, no ego. Mantras and Mudras are the now, and that’s why they are so transformative. Stay present, seekers of the true.
This wisdom helped Me a lot. It's not selfish when you take time alone to meditate, chant and pray. It benefits many people if you return more aligned with your soul and G-d. ❤😂
Just listening to the background audio and seeing the background picture I can almost imagine the state you would be in where you are one with everything with total bliss. Even though that state is beyond conceptions and imagination. Very inspiring.
Great. The teaching seemed to me as if it's meant for me. Every word is truly rightly fitted in my life. I earned my Prana through rigorous effort and then I lost it by mixing myself up with wrongly worldlings.
Very good. There is no word to praise this video. Even if you live in middle of good or bad people try to understand the feeling of God towards to you. When I feel alone certainly I understand God love. Simply I believe this video from. Messenger of God.
Thank you so much....i came across something i needed the most at this point in my life where i feel down, out and lost but something rises above and beyond now.....
Very much helped... thanks so much.... Swamy Shivananda is one who gave rebirth to my father who had travelled from south to Rishikesh leaving behind the world,,,was about to conclude his life in the gangaa.....but luckily cought by the seer who blessed him with a tittle " Gurubhakta Ratna".... and send to the Sringeri seer 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this share. I ponder for me then.., As I look deeply through my entire past till present. Never have I become saddened and have assignment to loneliness. Not to be confrontational and I support expansion of those that suffer all ways of being ness. I actually enjoy myself with myself. My solitude is sacred. Because I am alone I am not necessarily lonely. The grass the trees the birds decorate my life. I am never alone enough to be lonely. Now I have not put myself in a confining black space for a week. So I don’t know what would arise in me than. I can be with myself Say in front of a mirror completely un clothed and allow myself to be as I am. I can drop all false ideas of un truth about all tilt thoughts that poke at me. Once I recognize each off incorrect interpretation or fashioned of times pretense or wish. Just in the noticing they break up and disappear. I dare not pray something off undesirable to not come my way . Its all false and that path will surely bring it to me. I am ok the way I am and the way I am not right now. For in the recognition of where I want to expand to need not have to climb a manufactured mountain of effort and struggle for living proof of my worthiness. And agreement of others that choose that design , tarried and elevated themselves out of it. I surely would not convince those perhaps that consider themselves down some steps of this ladder that they indeed are with fellow surrounding agreement of large. Say if this was the last of ones days I am not the one to give measure of ones position in sprit. And I Bless-All-Ways🧘🏻♂️🌸🙏🏻 No one here but me can tell me nor knows first and best the full secret of my heart.
2017 was the ending of my shallow existence full of emptiness partying and flying around aimlessly surrounded by surface people it became my existence and I was unhappy with my shallow lifestyle. A complete stranger ask me if I meditate and I said no because I couldn't sit still very long,she gave me the name of a store in town that she said I'd like and it was the beginning start of the change of my life the friends had disappeared due to them not accepting me for my life choices I no longer wanted to do what they were doing anymore so saying goodbye was easy for me. Being alone helped me see what's real and grow into the woman I am supposed to be. The human kindness that lady showed me by guiding me to a place she knew would help me find the real me was one of the best gift I've received and whenever I see someone who's lost I like to guide them onto a path of enlightenment too still learning and growing day by day🙏😺💛
I see a big difference between loneliness and aloneness. Loneliness is a condition of the heart, a kind of grief we must overcome in the love of God. Aloneness is often essential on the road to God realisation. Aum shanti. 😀❤🙏
Sometimes I wonder about the timing of events happening in our lives. Indeed I was supposed to watch the video to remind myself the real purpose of my existence.
The right name for loneliness is Solitude. The dis'course above very nicely explains the meaning of Pratyahaar. It emphasises the importance of Being Alone, cut off from wordly peole so well. If one is seriously intent on being an aspirant, then he/she should follow the suggestions given above. An aspirant must at all times be on guard and not be exposed to wrong company.
Passion comes from the soul, and it is good to follow your passion. I think the distinction should be not to focus only on your passions to the exclusion of things you must do. We don't want our passions, or emotions to rule us. These rules are coming from the standpoint of an ascetic, or a guru or monk. Not all of us are here to live in that way. Developing a regular meditation practice though is the best practice for those wanting to direct their minds and keep them on track. I would like to begin meditating more regularly, but I'm not sure that daily is what I'm looking to do just now.
This is a great video! I would like to seriously inquire about pursuing the type of life this video describes but I don’t know where to start. Here is a little information about me... 1) I have always been an introvert and love my solitude! 2) I’m 43 years old, never married and no kids. 3) I meditate several hours every day and attend a silent meditation retreat several times a year. I’ll be going for 30 days later this year! I’m ready to dive in and leave this worldly world and live the life of a renunciate but I don’t know how to go about doing that. The Sivananda ashram, (I have known about it for several years) has always been most appealing to me and I have tried to contact them (email) with no success. I am very serious about this, if you can help steer me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated! Thank You!
Adithya Naren I congratulate you on your journey to self realization and as much as I would like to connect with you, Facebook is not an option for me. I have never had a Facebook account and I never will, nor am I affiliated with any other social media outlet. My quest for self realization started approximately 13 years ago and I have made some good progress which probably equates to only a few steps on a thousand mile journey. Like a magnet, I gravitate more and more onto this path every day! I hope the same for you! Thanks!
If you are male just love a form of goddess and think she is ur own and meditate on her then everything will be in control and become favourable to get supreme peace If you are female just love male form of god and do remaining
Hi pilgrim985, Hope you are doing well. How is your spiritual progress going on? Whats the development with you? Will be grateful to know as it wud encourage us to pursue the path.
Thanks.Pranam.Loneliness act like a transparent glass covering to a burning candle lamp,it protects/ isolate lamp from all sorts of out world disturbance.
I am on this stage now don’t know it’s blessings or something else but sometime it’s hurts emotionally tried to tell my own family what’s I am going through honestly no one took it seriously they thought I am not talking initiative to connect myself with them Please Pray for me 🙏
Thanks for saying it, it's the most natural thing. This teaching is very difficult. I don't think that for the most part solitude is the best. And I say this from experience, because I have always been alone. I intuit that when you experience real romantic love and sex, your whole relative being is calmer. Then you are in the best situation to seek the divine.
Vida, Amor y Risa the path isn’t for everyone, I can see myself seeking solitude as much as possible or peace ✌️ and if that shows up in my world as being single or not going to parties then oh well. I’ve also realized that doing things that i like doing regardless of what people think is the way to go. Right now I am amidst this 2020 world lockdown and hiding in a room away from family and taking it as a time of repose.

Hello Loving Life
How wonderful. I am happy for you. You will go far.
How is your nomadic life now since you posted that comment two years ago.
I too am highly sensitive, I live in the city and work minimally. I prefer to be alone. One polishes oneself when alone. I love my monk path to God- it is all I wish for now. My life is for God, to Be Realized.
I would be honoured to hear how your life is unfolding if you feel called to share. 😌🙏🏼
After watching this video I have realised that it's a blessing otherwise I used to think why I don't have friends and why they don't call me text me
I think frds with same goal will help to acheive it faster through sharing ideas and thoughts
arpita ghosh p
You should study tpes of mind and then you will identify how that works
Same
@@200887evi get marry?
- Yes, Loneliness is nothing but "Blessing in Disguise", yet not very easy to recognize by all.,
Absolutely!
I describe myself as a seeker. One lesson I learnt is " take small steps but keep the goal insight". It helps me. I stumble a lot.
🙏🙏🙏
Same for me
There's no you to seek
I love my loneliness, it's been my safe place since I was born.
I need to turn it into something bigger, and not only self destruction.

Keep it up practice makes perfect
This is obsalutly true loneliness is one of the best spiritual way
simple not easy
We are never alone. The Divine Spark is with us and within us.
True

I am not unloveable for not having friends; I am the light out of this worlds darkness- it would be nice to have another light, though I may just not be ready or perfected to meet one just yet.. thank you
That's true I find myself not watching the TV no more and I don't miss it
I was born to be a loner.. Never had friends,only associates..
This was more convincing of solitude than anything else! I've been more and more alone in last few years.
It will always be lonely without feeling GOD within. Once you feel GOD within- your soul becomes your best friend, guide and bliss- a natural consequence of being with oneself as every moment would be a moment of truth with the DIVINE.

TRUTH i know from personal experience so god bless all on their spiritual journey
Almighty always gives us the best we need. But we don't have the courage and faith to accept it. That's why he's called our sachhe mata pita.
One who cherishes solitude is either a beast or a god. Friedrich Nietzsche
This is what Aristotle said, Nietzsche adds "or both; philosopher".
I’ll be the beast and my owner is GOD😇

I like being alone, but I do have many friends. I realize I am a small part of Gods mind.

Its' solitude!
I enjoy it (I have been enjoying for the past 12 years)!
The bliss is ineffable!
Solitude is bliss, loneliness is misery and people confuse between the two
Right... solitude is a more accurate term...everything you see or perceive is an illusion stop crying about loneliness...u guys are missing the point of going in... you're not really a human .....yeah we have to stay on the path lol..
The soundtrack in this video is beautiful for meditation
Fantastic Message.. I see the truth in it because it was me..6 years of reprogramming [So to speak] later One realizes they are Never Alone.

True ,Loneliness is Peaceful

What a wonderful mentor and life's journey.
I am an introvert and I love being alone like 90% of the time.

I'm alone alot. Loneliness is better than bad company
I prefer to call it "alone with God."
Your all the videos have changed my overall mind set and given me a new life .
I've always been in serious love with solitude
This wisdom helped Me a lot. It's not selfish when you take time alone to meditate, chant and pray. It benefits many people if you return more aligned with your soul and G-d. ❤😂
Wish I had friends who were on the same spiritual path and who'd push me to get better
I can feel this music nourishing my soul :)

I love my solitude,I get claustrophobic with people ,frivolous laughter.I am not an anti social person. Creative people like to be alone.
Today is the day...start your sadhana shunning the company of foolish friends
Prashant Singh
Great, thanks.
Prashant Singh ok il start with u fool
The word foolish is wrong and negative. First be positive and start your Sadhana. Negative thoughts lead to bad Karmas.
Watch sadhguru videos.. And do Yoga..
Agreed!!
Thank you so much....i came across something i needed the most at this point in my life where i feel down, out and lost but something rises above and beyond now.....
Thanks thousands times.
HARE KRISNA!
Very much helped... thanks so much....

This is perhaps your most important video. Several truths about life have been espoused without much of the spiritual jargon, kudos!
Really good advice! Śrī Śivānana is one of the greatest teachers.
I loved the part where he stated that lonely, does mean that we have to find ourselfs
Blessings and praise for the maker of these wonderful and wise videos!
Thank you for this share.
I ponder for me then..,
As I look deeply through my entire past till present.
Never have I become saddened and have assignment to loneliness.
Not to be confrontational and I support expansion of those that suffer all ways of being ness.
I actually enjoy myself with myself.
My solitude is sacred. Because I am alone I am not necessarily lonely.
The grass the trees the birds decorate my life. I am never alone enough to be lonely.
Now I have not put myself in a confining black space for a week.
So I don’t know what would arise in me than.
I can be with myself
Say in front of a mirror completely un clothed and allow myself to be as I am.
I can drop all false ideas of un truth about all tilt thoughts that poke at me.
Once I recognize each off incorrect interpretation or fashioned of times pretense or wish.
Just in the noticing they break
up and disappear.
I dare not pray something off undesirable to not come my way .
Its all false and that path will surely bring it to me.
I am ok the way I am and the way I am not right now.
For in the recognition of where I want to expand to need not have to climb a manufactured mountain of effort and struggle for living proof of my worthiness. And agreement of others that choose that design , tarried and elevated themselves out of it.
I surely would not convince those perhaps that consider themselves down some steps of this ladder that they indeed are with fellow surrounding agreement of large.
Say if this was the last of ones days I am not the one to give measure of ones position in sprit.
And I Bless-All-Ways🧘🏻♂️🌸🙏🏻
No one here but me can tell me nor knows first and best the full secret of my heart.
Thanks pulchritude of you Swamiji.Namaste.Thanks to the Artist.AMBIENT is ubiquitous.
Omg so true

2017 was the ending of my shallow existence full of emptiness partying and flying around aimlessly surrounded by surface people it became my existence and I was unhappy with my shallow lifestyle.
A complete stranger ask me if I meditate and I said no because I couldn't sit still very long,she gave me the name of a store in town that she said I'd like and it was the beginning start of the change of my life the friends had disappeared due to them not accepting me for my life choices I no longer wanted to do what they were doing anymore so saying goodbye was easy for me.
Being alone helped me see what's real and grow into the woman I am supposed to be.
The human kindness that lady showed me by guiding me to a place she knew would help me find the real me was one of the best gift I've received and whenever I see someone who's lost I like to guide them onto a path of enlightenment too still learning and growing day by day🙏😺💛
I see a big difference between loneliness and aloneness. Loneliness is a condition of the heart, a kind of grief we must overcome in the love of God. Aloneness is often essential on the road to God realisation. Aum shanti. 😀❤🙏
Swamiji's teachings are inspired me a lot.
Thank you for your blessings.
Excellent.All messages very well written.A must read for everybody.
True..Solitude opens the gateway to bliss and ecstasy.
Shat shat Naman to great yogi, I have no words ......
I am learning to be my own friend.
Sometimes I wonder about the timing of events happening in our lives. Indeed I was supposed to watch the video to remind myself the real purpose of my existence.
What is said has the ring of truth.
The right name for loneliness is Solitude. The dis'course above very nicely explains the meaning of Pratyahaar. It emphasises the importance of Being Alone, cut off from wordly peole so well. If one is seriously intent on being an aspirant, then he/she should follow the suggestions given above. An aspirant must at all times be on guard and not be exposed to wrong company.
I m addicted to loneliness...i love to live alone....
This cleared so many doubts in my head and shed a light for me. Thank you so much thank you thank you.
Luckiest I ever got was 42 days by myself and nature. In the middle of the Cherokee Forest. I did not hear even an airplane.
Encryption 1.0 how was your experience?
Seems you are under influence of ketu which shows results from age 42 onwards. Good for spiritualism.
I just discovered your channel. Its very good! Swami Sivananda was a great yogi.
This channel is best for spiritual guidance . Helping me a lot. Kindly keep up the good work. And a huge thanks
Loneliness means self discovery 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Passion comes from the soul, and it is good to follow your passion. I think the distinction should be not to focus only on your passions to the exclusion of things you must do. We don't want our passions, or emotions to rule us. These rules are coming from the standpoint of an ascetic, or a guru or monk. Not all of us are here to live in that way. Developing a regular meditation practice though is the best practice for those wanting to direct their minds and keep them on track. I would like to begin meditating more regularly, but I'm not sure that daily is what I'm looking to do just now.
This channel is a gold mine. 🙏🙏
It is the power of sadhana that pulls you out of bad or worldly company automatically.
You're absolutely right.
Pranam.
This is a great video! I would like to seriously inquire about pursuing the type of life this video describes but I don’t know where to start. Here is a little information about me...
1) I have always been an introvert and love my solitude!
2) I’m 43 years old, never married and no kids.
3) I meditate several hours every day and attend a silent meditation retreat several times a year. I’ll be going for 30 days later this year!
I’m ready to dive in and leave this worldly world and live the life of a renunciate but I don’t know how to go about doing that. The Sivananda ashram, (I have known about it for several years) has always been most appealing to me and I have tried to contact them (email) with no success.
I am very serious about this, if you can help steer me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated! Thank You!
I'm looking for someone like you..I believe someday I'll get and until I get I'll keep meditating..
Sarker Junior on the same path towards self realization. 8 years and counting. Connect with me on FB (Adithya Naren)

I congratulate you on your journey to self realization and as much as I would like to connect with you, Facebook is not an option for me. I have never had a Facebook account and I never will, nor am I affiliated with any other social media outlet. My quest for self realization started approximately 13 years ago and I have made some good progress which probably equates to only a few steps on a thousand mile journey. Like a magnet, I gravitate more and more onto this path every day! I hope the same for you! Thanks!
If you are male just love a form of goddess and think she is ur own and meditate on her then everything will be in control and become favourable to get supreme peace
If you are female just love male form of god and do remaining
Hi pilgrim985, Hope you are doing well. How is your spiritual progress going on? Whats the development with you? Will be grateful to know as it wud encourage us to pursue the path.
Thank you so much for sharing this God bless you all for creating this channel and sharing this profound knowledge with everyone 😊🙏
Thank you swami ji l don't know how to express my gratitude for your message , l really need it
Thanks.Pranam.Loneliness act like a transparent glass covering to a burning candle lamp,it protects/ isolate lamp from all sorts of out world disturbance.
Loneliness provides silence, and I think silence is a sound that permeates our being, and an opportunity to realize the self, the easy way.
I am on this stage now don’t know it’s blessings or something else but sometime it’s hurts emotionally tried to tell my own family what’s I am going through honestly no one took it seriously they thought I am not talking initiative to connect myself with
them
Please Pray for me 🙏
heaven oo4 🙏🏽
Same here brother...
Can't match with themselves
I enjoy my solitude& even need& crave it but i love to be w/someone i love also.... But am particular& selective in a spirtual way..
Thanks for saying it, it's the most natural thing. This teaching is very difficult. I don't think that for the most part solitude is the best. And I say this from experience, because I have always been alone. I intuit that when you experience real romantic love and sex, your whole relative being is calmer. Then you are in the best situation to seek the divine.
Vida, Amor y Risa the path isn’t for everyone, I can see myself seeking solitude as much as possible or peace ✌️ and if that shows up in my world as being single or not going to parties then oh well. I’ve also realized that doing things that i like doing regardless of what people think is the way to go. Right now I am amidst this 2020 world lockdown and hiding in a room away from family and taking it as a time of repose.
Thank you Guruji for the valuable insight
On loneliness. I have exp
erienced it and in fact enjoy the time.
It is so blissful and serene
practising this in the East village in New York City is hard but I will try\
Your videos give me supreme peace..
