Lonely, Not Alone

Solitude takes me
To a higher level of consciousness
Away from the senseless talks
Of the locals
Where I can hear the supreme
Talking to me
in an enchanting vocal

Solitude is a state
Of completeness
Where I am in equanimity
In all aspects of life
Happiness attained from the people

Is illusionary

Why run after lay men
When I can get what I want
In a few moments of enriched silence.

With solitude comes power

Increased focus and concentration
A vision to succeed

To have a bright future, indeed

In solitude I introspect

And improve myself
Privacy is for what I drool
How can this be attained

Amongst a bunch of fools

For in solitude
I have attained enlightenment
Its something the mass
Just cannot get

Solitude is a drug
Euphoric and ecstatic

Solitude is the joy of being just yourself
You are the master of your life
Why encourage others to participate in yours?
If you strive for the best,
Its only solitude that can give you, what you expect.

Conversation with the worldly people
Is a futile task
Worldly affairs, don’t lure me anymore
Solitude, is like a ray of a sunbeam

In the biting cold of winter

“Bliss, Bliss, Bliss……”

For the one who has tasted a life
Of solitude

Knows the true essence of it
It is bliss
It is fulfilling

It fills up your heart

Coz he knows the value of himself
And not the jibber jabber
Of the others
Who claim to know themselves

With solitude comes peace

The best private time

That cannot be attained in

The company of the lay men

Who just know to blabber and whine

A man who loves solitude
Knows the value of your time
A man who loves solitude
Will understand you skin deep
Anything arty and crafty will never lure him
Coz he knows reality, and he knows quality stuff
For him life is not a game of bluff

The life of a man in solitude
or in the company of holy men
is the ultimate way to be.
Sometimes I wonder is this how
the sages in the Himalayas
who take penance feel
this is how life is meant to be

The human race shows
fake emotions
what’s the point in interacting
with these partially evolved apes
who don’t know the value of

Companionship and attachment
They are not social animals,
Just animals, in thirst of betterment
Wanting to overtake their peers
in this petty meanness of humanity
Who in want of which can
Change their shape and form anytime
Such an existence is useless

You will never find a companion

As companionable as solitude

Anything conductive and deep
can only be attained in solitude
for this is what the
elevated minds yearn for
Only the ones who enjoy and relish solitude
Will understand the true meaning of the above lines
Because the bliss solitude gives
Cannot be put down to paper, rather typed ;-)

My favorite quotes on solitude.

Being solitary is being alone well: being alone luxuriously immersed in doings of your own choice, aware of the fullness of your won presence rather than of the absence of others. Because solitude is an achievement.

Alice Koller

Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is the richness of self.
May Sarton

Whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god.
Aristotle

Conversation enriches the understanding, but solitude is the school of genius.

Edward Gibbon

Converse with men makes sharp the glittering wit, but God to man doth speak in solitude.

John Stuart Blackie

I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity.
Albert Einstein

The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.
Albert Einstein

A solitude is the audience-chamber of God.
Walter Savage Landor

In love with life, her space, her privacy, her solitude... :-) :-)
