We all possess this deep inherent desire ingrained within us to have someone around us, someone to talk to, someone who would reciprocate our affection, someone with whom we can share our emotions, joys and sorrows - how we just wish that someone, just be there for us. Don' t we? Nobody likes to be lonely. Sometimes a person may prefer to be alone for a while, but never permanently. We wish to share ourselves with others. This inclination of ours is one of the qualities we have in common with God because we are part of Him. You never see a picture of Krishna alone; He is always with His friends and devotees
When we embrace spirituality or the path of Krishna consciousness, we turn once again toward the sweetest loving friend of all, Lord Sri Krishna, and our outlook changes back to what it should be. We cease to be limited by the puny material body in its temporary setting, and our vision expands to eternity.
Our life begins to revolve around the Lord, and as soon as we understand Him to be the supreme controller and enjoyer of all that exists, as well as our best friend, we attain relief from the pangs of material miseries. We do not struggle anymore to control every detail of our lives but put ourselves securely under His direction. Our motivation changes from self-centered calculation to a constant desire to please Krishna. It is only by developing, in the course of time, such a blissful state of consciousness that one is able to perfectly relate to others without the least trace of friction or flaw.
As soon as the veil of ignorance is uncovered and we open the gates to receiving the mercy of the Divine, by completely surrendering to Him, we see that loneliness immediately vanishes as we begin to relish the constant company of the Lord, we seek pleasure in His pleasure, we try to satisfy His senses by engaging in unalloyed devotional service.
Therefore, in this battle with loneliness we emerge victorious since we need not depend on any conditioned material entity for our mental sanctity, since we now have the Supreme Lord Krishna on our side, who is the reservoir of perennial flow of eternal bliss and divine love.
