Premanand Ji Maharaj on loneliness: never in an empty room

Loneliness comes up in satsang in many forms: the elderly parent, the student far from home, the person in a crowded house who feels unseen.

In short

  • He changes who you consider yourself alone with.
  • A person with the name in the mouth is never in an empty room.
  • Practically, he tells people to sit in satsang.
  • Company changes the mind faster than resolve does.

Never in an empty room

With the name in your mouth you are never in an empty room.

His first answer is not a technique for meeting people. It changes who you consider yourself to be alone with.

Then: go and sit with others

He does not leave it there. He tells people, practically, to sit in satsang, because company changes the mind faster than resolve does. Satsang is streamed on the official channels, and many towns have local groups.

When loneliness is comparison

Some loneliness is watching other lives from outside. On envy he says: do not weigh your life against one you only see from the outside. Contentment is not the reward for getting what others have; it is the practice that makes the comparison stop mattering.

If it has become heavy

If loneliness has turned into persistent sadness, speak to a doctor. He sends people to doctors and has never taught that faith replaces help.
