Our solitude is not exclusiveness but union with the Supreme through the Guru. Through intense aloneness, with Guru-Bhakti in our hearts, we acquire Wisdom and skill. We become rightly expressed and rightly subdued. We become well harmonized. Our Guru-Bhakti immunizes us from lesser loves but increases sympathy and compassion within us.
Guru is everything.
It is only through Guru-Bhakti that we are able to derive strength, insight and are able to deal with the world harmoniously. If one is ready for such absorption - one does not have to sit literally at His Lotus Feet. The Guru will come right into your heart where you are. You will hear His call also regardless where you are. The Lord Himself arranges for the meeting of the souls at the right hour.
