On loneliness

Every human being feels lonely at heart. This need for another has
been instilled by nature for procreation. At a deeper level, it is lust
that manifests as loneliness. You could of course use will power and
suppress it temporarily or at best manage your loneliness. It is only
when you are awakened could you transcend loneliness since you
then feel connected to everything and everyone.
