“Learn to manage alone, not out of loneliness but out of self-reliance. In ‘solitude’, you’ll discover the strength that has always resided within”. – Rumi
Interpretation:
The attitude of loneliness is that it always tends to draw strength from other sources only, but in a state of ‘solitude’, it always draws strength from within.
Every human being has two types of existence. One existence is visible to him as his body, and another existence is hidden within him as his soul but not visible.
If a person is just conscious of his visible existence alone, loneliness will naturally occupy him, and in order to prevent loneliness, he will seek out additional apparent bodies to reinforce himself.
The wise man, on the other hand, prefers to accept loneliness, turning the attitude of loneliness into ‘solitude’ and thereby drawing on the strength that has always existed as a soul inside him. Once this strength develops, all the attributes of the body, along with loneliness and solitude, will disappear, and the strength will become everlasting energy.
