We have been born alone and will depart from this world alone. During our lifetime, we create our world with many beautiful memories with our partners, parents, siblings, offspring and friends, and some unnamed relations.

Yet, at some point in life, we experience loneliness and heartbreaks and feel alone.

We realize it is our journey, our path, so we have to walk- on our own.

It’s your road and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you. ~Rumi

We may have reliable and beautiful near and dear ones, but at some point, we feel no one else understands us, and then we feel all alone.

It reminds a beautiful poem in a Bengali song titled “Aaj Ei Akash.” The translated version is as follows-

“ So alone I am like my own shadow

like nothingness

like a sigh

Like a lonely tree

Like a lonely river

Like an isolated island

Like a silent mountain

Like a convict sentenced to life imprisonment

I am alone

So Alone”

What a diversified metaphor for loneliness!

An interesting quote on loneliness-

“We’re born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for a moment that we’re not alone.”

― Orson Welles

We all are created/ designed by the Almighty in such a way- we will break at some point. We will feel a vacuum, empty.

Let Silence take you to the core of life-Rumi.

Even after achieving so much, we feel empty.

It’s about the connection of the Almighty with us.

Our soul is hungry. Our soul wants that divine connection.

Remembrance of the Almighty brings peace to us.

No material thing can attain that.

So when you feel you are alone. Remember, you are not alone. Almighty is there with you.

He loves you. He is our Malikul-Mulk (The Eternal Possessor)

Do not feel lonely, the entire universe is inside you. ~Rumi
