00:00You are lonely and the other one is lonely and the two of you get together and think we will
00:05now be wholesome.
00:06That won't happen. Half and half is a quarter.
00:09Much of this thing called loneliness is just an idea.
00:14An idea put in your mind by culture.
00:16You are a certain age and you must have company.
00:19And what kind of company that to the movies and the traditions and the anecdotes have decided.
00:24Loneliness is actually a crowd.
00:26It is not solitude. It is a crowd. Crowd of ideas, images, thoughts put in your mind by somebody else.
00:32So sir, to what extent we should be socializing?
00:35There is no limit. There is no limit.
00:36You can belong to the entire universe and why not?
00:39Why should there be a limit?
00:41Why should you say I belong only to these four people?
00:43Belong to the entire universe. Relate to everybody.
00:46Wonderful. You have not been forbidden.
00:47At the same time, let no person, no idea, no object be a substitute for your inner completeness.
00:57You cannot say,
00:58Inwardly, I am rotten or hollow.
01:00Therefore, I rush to that person.
01:02From your inner completeness,
01:04if you relate to a thousand people,
01:06that's wonderful.
01:06Inwardly.
