"Solitude" by Paulo Coelho



    Without solitude, Love(God) will not stay long by your side. .... 
     ....... Without solitude, no plant or animal can survive,
     no soil can remain productive, no child can learn about life,
    no artist can create, no work can grow and be transformed.
     
    Solitude is not the absence of Love(God), but it's complement.
     Solitude is not absence of company, but the moment when
     our soul is free to speak to us and help us decide what to do with our life.
     
    Therefore, blessed are those who do not fear solitude,
    who are not afraid of their own company,
    who are not always desperately looking for something to do,
     something to amuse themselves with, something to judge.
     
    If you are never alone, you cannot know yourself.
     And if you do not know yourself, you will begin to fear the void.
     
    But the void does not exist.
     A vast world lies hidden in our soul, waiting to be discovered.
     There it is, with all its strength intact, but it is so new and so powerful that we are afraid to acknowledge its existence.
     .... For those who are not frightened by the solitude that reveals all mysteries,
     everything will have a different taste.
     In solitude, they will discover the love that might otherwise have arrived unnoticed.
     In solitude, they will understand and respect the love that left them.
     ...... And those who are alone in this moment need never be frightened by the words of the devil: " You're wasting your time." " No one cares about you."

    .... The divine energy(God) is listening to us when we speak to other people, but also when we are still and silent and able to accept solitude as a blessing. In that moment, Its light illuminates everything around us and helps us to see that we are necessary, that our presence on Earth makes immense difference to Its work.
     And when we achieve that harmony, we receive more than we asked for.
     
    ...... For those who feel oppressed by solitude, it's important to remember that in life's most significant moments we are always alone.
    Take the child emerging from a woman's womb: it doesn't matter how many people are present; the final decision to live rests with the child. 
     
    .....Take all of us, when we find ourselves face to face with death, we will all be alone at that most important and most feared moment of our existence. Just as Love is the divine condition, so solitude is the human condition. And for those who understand the miracle of life, those two states peacefully coexist.
