Me, my Guru – fish and the ascetic

 

Me, my Guru –  fish and the ascetic 

“Guruji, I feel so left out in life. I have no one to share my life, emotions and love with. No one is ready to be my friend” complained Vaishnav.

“Guruji, even I don’t have any friends in my life and I thought my spouse would be my friend. But after marriage, I found that even my spouse is no good. Why does this happen to me repeatedly?” asked someone from behind.

“How come no one listens to me talk? Wherever I go, I find myself alone, why do I not meet or make good friends?” asked Vaishnav. He was crying as he asked this question.

In the next fifteen minutes that followed, we found that most of us were more or less friendless. We had acquaintances but friends – no. And that loneliness hit us hard more than ever now during pandemic period!

We were alone in the crowd. We were surrounded by people – faces that we could recognize but connecting with no one in particular.

Though it was his question, it was an answer most of us found wanting. Few of us seemed to attract people who were mean and hurtful in our lives. So, in a way though we had ‘people’ to say in our life, it wasn’t as if ‘they were for us’. That was both paradox and comical at the same time! We suffered with the people who were in our lives. We suffered because of them. More than that was the desire to be liked, accepted by the other. We wanted to enjoy others’ company. We wanted to be part of a group. Whenever we saw group of friends having good time – well it was envy time for us! We wished we had that too! But it remained a wish for all these years. And today if we found the reason, there may be a way to ‘make friends’ in our life too! So I listened carefully!
