Someone’s company cannot fill your loneliness. Even if it does, it is very short-lived. You can still feel lonely in spite of being in company. In a real sense, loneliness can only be filled by being alone. If you could be comfortable being alone for some time, then you will not feel lonely. When you don’t feel lonely, you can spread joy to people around you.

Dance.

pathofbhakti:

From the Gujarati traditions that portray the mother goddess playing garba, to Shivji as Nataraja from the south, to the highest emotional and spiritual revelations of the Raas Lila of Sri Krsna, it is fascinating how Hinduism has incorporated dance into religion; how dance is seen as the very expression of movement of the universe, as the expression of movement in the divine, and representational of the eternal relationship of the Lord with the soul until union is achieved (or in fact dance symbolising union).
