”WE COME INTO THIS WORLD ALONE,
WE DEPART ALONE…”
This has been said again and again, down through the ages. All the religious people have been
saying this: ”We come alone into this world, we go alone.” All togetherness is illusory. The very
idea of togetherness arises because we are alone, and the aloneness hurts. We want to drown our
aloneness in relationship….
That’s why we become so much involved in love. Try to see the point. Ordinarily you think you have
fallen in love with a woman or with a man because she is beautiful, he is beautiful. That is not the
truth. The truth is just the opposite: you have fallen in love because you cannot be alone. And if
a beautiful woman had not been available you would have fallen with an ugly woman too. So the
beauty is not the question. If a woman had not been available at all you would have fallen with a
man too. So the woman is not the question either.
You were going to fall. You were going to avoid yourself somehow or other. And there are people
who don’t fall in love with women or men – then they fall in love with money. They start moving into
money or into a power trip, they become politicians. That too is avoiding your aloneness. If you
watch man, if you watch yourself deeply, you will be surprised – all your activities can be reduced to
one single source. The source is that you are afraid of your aloneness. Everything else is just an
excuse. The real cause is that you find yourself very alone.
And to be alone is to be miserable. There seems to be nowhere to go, no one to relate to, no one to
drown oneself in. Poetry will do, music will do, sex will do, alcohol will do – but something is needed
so you can drown your aloneness, so that you can forget that you are alone. This is the thorn in the
soul that goes on hurting. And you go on changing your excuses
