[00:00:00]I lost one of my friends. How can one sit with that loneliness?

[00:00:03]>> You are lonely not because you don't have a friend or a boy or a girl. In general, if you don't have meaning in life, you won't say you are lonely. If you don't have great work in life, you will not say you are lonely. If you don't have understanding in life, you again won't say you are lonely. But if you don't have, let's say, a girl in life, you will say you are lonely.

[00:00:26]That's the problem. You're lonely because you don't have meaning. You're lonely because you don't have purpose.

[00:00:32]What do you do when you are lonely? Do you pick up a great book? Unlikely. You pick up your mobile phone and you call someone up and gossip for endless hours.

[00:00:40]That's the worst treatment you can give to your loneliness. And we all do feel lonely. It's human to feel lonely. Well, you feel lonely. Why don't seek the company of the greats?
