+You do not have to seek out loneliness--it is always there.  Egolessness is a
+concept, a philosophy, but loneliness is a reality that you experience.  A
+feeling of loneliness is part of the journey.  As for me, I feel that way

+state, you begin to make discoveries.  You discover devotion, and you discover

+you, but not being you, is very resourceful.  You become a complete mountain
+man: you know how to make fire and cook food.  But it doesn’t mean anything.
+You are still nobody.  That is the inspiration.
