Alone vs lonely

So what is this privacy you8217;re talking about? Whenever you feel uncomfortable, you want to be left alone. Why is this so? I don8217;t want any philosophies, just come to the specifics. You have some 8220;sometimes I would like to be left alone8221; moments, why? Now you say that your feelings are being trampled, why are you feeling that way? There is nothing that happens without a reason. Right now you feel like being left alone from everything and everybody. Let us look at this. Nobody is intruding. They don8217;t even know how to intrude. The moment you set up a barrier, they just leave you alone and go, isn8217;t it? Only one person is intruding into everything. Even when you set up your barrier, he will find a way in, and if you set another barrier, he will find yet another way in: your Guru.

Many of you are still in that state where, if you were simply told something, even if it8217;s the best thing for you, you would get a little irritated because you still have your own personality, your own will, your own privacy and what not. So when I talk to you, I talk as if I am asking, but actually I am really telling you. Even if somebody tells you what is best for you, you will resist because they are telling you, so I make it appear as if I am asking. All this is unnecessary. If your surrendering is total, this is unnecessary. For a rare few, I just say, 8216;8216;You have no choice, you come.8217;8217; I never ask them, 8216;8216;What will you do? Will you give up your job? Will you do this?8217;8217; No. For some people, I just tell them, 8216;8216;You leave everything and come.8217;8217; They never felt there was any choice; they felt they have chosen. They were only told because if given a choice, they might have done something irrelevant with their life. The only thing is, you need trust to hand yourself over so completely.
