00:00Loneliness does not decrease when you connect to a thousand other people using technology.
00:07Loneliness is a thing within.
00:10Irrespective of how many people you are connected to in a party or via zoom,
00:16loneliness is not going to decrease.
00:19Loneliness reduces through wisdom.
00:23Loneliness is reduced when you understand.
00:26If you think that you can virtually have 40,000 people around you and that will make you feel less lonely.
00:33That's not true.
00:34Loneliness is a cancer within.
00:37By having people around you, your internal cancer does not get treated.
00:42So that problem within has to be healed by a medicine that acts within.
00:47And that medicine is attention to life, a life full of understanding, contemplation,
00:54good literature, good discussions, good company and good purpose.
