Solitude is a state of being where one entirely enjoys one’s own company. It is a complete communion with one’s inner self. It teaches us to make a healthy relationship with our own inner being.
Solitude is often mistaken as loneliness. However, there is a remarkable difference between the two. Where loneliness makes a person uncomfortable, incomplete within and longs for socializing; solitude finds its resort in its own authentic, real self-unmeshed with the chaos of the outer world.
As we all know the eternal truth that we all have come alone on this earthly realm, take our last breath and depart this transient world all alone. In between we are encountered with numerous relations near and far that shape our outer world. In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it seems that fulfilling our responsibilities toward our family and becoming successful in achieving our goals is the only truth of our life, rather we think this is the life itself. However, this endless race is going to take us nowhere and does not serve the true purpose of life.
Our inner self, where our sacred spirit resides, pleadsus to pay heed andalso yearnsfor adeep connection with itself. We also owe our responsibility towards our inner world, which we have long forgotten. When we start making our inner journey, focusing on the inner world, our outer world organically alters for good.
The clarity of mind can only be possible by peeping inside, to see whatthoughts, emotions and feelings we entertain within ourselves. This clarity, this precision only comes when we give time to ourselves, to ponder and reflect upon the ventures of the inner world. Here starts the magic of solitude.
There is no denying the fact that we have to upkeep our duties towards our family, society and world at large but the true fulfilment only comes when our inner world is in tune with ourselves. Thus, living in solitude is not a synonym of loneliness or emptiness but it has a deep meaning that guides us to take the right direction unfiltered by the disturbances of the outward occurrences. When this competitive world, caught in the matrix of rat race miserably fails to fulfill our true purpose, the need for solitude becomes more profound. Here, solitude serves as a lighthouse for the living beings to tread towards a more fulfilling journey of life.
