Solitude/isolation is considered to be “a state of depression” or “a terrible thing” for many. Yes, I too felt the same a few years ago. But later on, i.e. when I started searching for myself, I realized that “the state of isolation” or “solitude” is one of the best ways to God! In fact now, being with myself feels like being with God!
Many start their journey of solitude by different means. Honestly speaking I started mine by the feeling of loneliness. Gradually this unwilling feeling has turned out to be a voluntary decision.
Though my eyes were opened to a new set of friends, I still relish being a loner.
Hope every one is aware of the fact that no one is alone in this earth. Somewhere someone is always watching each one of us and taking care of us. How wonderful it would be to spend time with that someone to whom we really belong. Haven’t you noticed in the so called lonely moments “we feel ourselves even more connected to that someone”! It could be because in those moments we truly be ourselves! I believe it’s the best time to start observing ourselves.
I love spending time alone because those are the moments when “I AM” more with that “Great one”. This is the time when I freely meditate on HIM, talk to him, pray to him, laugh with him and also cry with him. Gradually became mad of him. Their by, he has now become my best buddy. Having been in his company, I can proudly say now “God is my best friend” Just by talking out my happiness, my probs and botherations in life and surrendering them at his lotus feet in an everyday basis, I experience freedom! :)
As it is also said, Solitude is the best way to attain spiritual enlightenment:)
I wish, we realize, we meet and become one with that great one very soon.
I conclude by telling lets long for God in isolation, their by turning "SOLITUDENESS INTO HAPPINESS ” :)
Wid Loving respect.

In my point of view,
i do not agree with what you have discussed entirely.,
everyone of us love solitude
thats when we have freedom to do things we would like to do, no one to boss around us, etc
Its not a state of depression!
Being with myself feels like being with God!!??
Are you sure?
I've heard many stories,...
are you sure its GOD whom you are having friendship with?
I thought Best way to reach God is to Serve.
Pl correct me if i am wrong.
Yes! Solitude is one of the Blessings of God! I love solitude! Ever since my childhood I have been by myself and have cherished the moments. But it is also important to be social. Since man is a Social Animal!
One has come alone(birth) into this world and has to go alone(death).... But in between that he has to socialise.
And I have had fantastic friends so far....(a few close friends though) :)
hmm..
@manisha - human is a social animal yep its only for society and we may have lot of friends at one time it sometimes makes us happy and sometimes we may suffer due to some reason..so we can't deny that..i am damn sure. :-)..But loneliness is always the solid state and balanced state and you can become internally (by our heart) happy all the times if we understand the fact that loneliness is voluntarily taken by ourself..Its the nature too...we born alone into the world and will die alone then why is the act in between..
At the same time i am not against friends and friendship..In my words friend is the one who accepts who you are..now a days its very tough to get true friends 1 in 100 and its all social animals around us.:-)..
If everything comes from u or from others naturally it will have positive effect, if not then it will all turn to negative..
@All - It's all my personal experience and so far lonliness and silence are the two powerful tools for success if we use it in right way and it makes us to think above the normal level and you will enjoy the life 100%..
