The greatest fear in the world is to be left alone To be alone is really the greatest miracle. That means now you don’t belong to any church, you don’t belong to any organization, you don’t belong to any theology, you don’t belong to any ideology socialist, communist, fascist, hindu, christian, jain, buddhist you don’t belong, you simply as are. To be alone is the greatest achievement. One feels always a need for the other. There is a tremendous need for the other because something is lacking within us. We have holes in our being; we stuff those holes with the presence of the other. The other somehow makes us complete, otherwise we are incomplete. Without the other we don’t know who we are, we lose our identity. The other becomes a mirror and we can see our faces in it. Without the other we are suddenly thrown to ourselves. Great uncomforted, inconvenience arises, because we don’t know who we are. When we are alone we are in very strange company, very embarrassing company. We don’t know with whom we are. With the other, things are clear, defined. We know the name, we know the form, we know the man or the woman Hindu, Christian, Indian, American there are some ways to define the other. How to define yourself? Nobody wants to be alone. The greatest fear in the world is to be left alone. People do a thousand and one things just not to be left alone. You imitate your neighbours so you are just like them and you are not left alone. You lose your individuality, you lose your uniqueness, you just become imitators, because if you are not imitators you will be left alone. You become part of the crowd, you become part of a church, you become part of an organization. Somehow you want to merge with a crowd where you can feel at ease, that you are not alone, there are so many people like you so many Mohammedans like you, so many Hindus like you, so many Christians, millions of them… you are not alone. Never feel lonely. You are never lonely. At the deepest core of your being, God resides Remember the difference between loneliness and aloneness. Never feel lonely. You are never lonely. At the deepest core of your being, God resides; he is always with you. And whenever you are alone, only then will you be able to hear his footsteps. Whenever you are alone, only then will you be able to hear his music, his whisperings. He never shouts, he only whispers. He comes very silently and goes very silently. Be in a deep rest and you become the host; and he is the guest, God is the guest. When you want to be alone, simply say you want to be alone
