“MOST OF THE WORLD’S GREAT SOULS have been lonely. Loneliness seems to be one price the saint must pay for his saintliness.”
THIS is the reason that they achieved their increased connection with God. It’s the concept of dying daily. Letting go of the attachment with other people and their values and focusing on God’s Love is a great thing.
It’s also the reason that great leaders such as Lincoln, Churchill, Ghandi, and many others experienced great periods of depression.
I have been lonely beyond words while still in the midst of many caring friends. Having died, gone to Heaven and returned to my body, my loneliness is my desire to be back fully in God’s Love. No words can describe the emptiness of tasting the treasure and losing it.
Loneliness is the soul’s motivation to grow spiritually.
