Full of the Most Dazzling Splendor
Compared to the Supreme Lord this material world is quite dull even in its most attractive aspects. This is why fully realized transcendentalists, who are constantly directly in contact with Krishna, are never bored or unhappy. They are blessed with the most thrilling association of Lord Sri Krishna at every minute. Lord Brahma describes the amazingly splendorous Lord as follows:
aṅgāni yasya sakalendriya-vṛtti-manti
paśyanti pānti kalayanti ciraṁ jaganti
ānanda-cinmaya-sad-ujjvala-vigrahasya
govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi
"I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, whose transcendental form is full of bliss, truth, and substantiality, and who is full of the most dazzling splendor. Each limb of that transcendental figure possesses in itself the full-fledged functions of all the other organs, and He eternally sees, maintains, and manifests the infinite universes, both spiritual and mundane." (Brahma-Samhita 5.32)
Therefore who is that fool who would reject the association of Lord Krishna and try to be an imitation Lord in this material world?

Sometimes solitude is recommended in the revealed scriptures. But this solitude means that you should avoid the association of non-devotees. It does mean that you should avoid devotee association. It is sometimes said that man is a social animal. Just as birds fly together in a flock, we human beings have a natural psychological need to be in the association of other humans. Therefore the perfection of solitude is to maximize your association with devotees and to minimize your association with non-devotees. This will make you happy indeed. In this association of devotees you will gradually master the art of how to directly associate with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krishna at every minute. In this way feelings of loneliness will never ever disturb you again, and you will always be swimming in Krishna's divine loving association.

Question: How to Not Feel Lonely When I Am Alone?
I feel very lonely sometimes. Although I have a desire to live alone, which is caused by very bad past experiences with people, I still feel alone sometimes. It is very strange and hard to understand. I want to feel complete irrespective of the people coming in and going out of my life. It affects me a lot when people change. I know that change is the law of nature, but it is hard for me to adapt. Can you please help me in handling such situations, that I am presently facing.Waiting for your valuable guidance.

Answer: Associate With Devotees As Much As Possible
It is natural for you to feel lonely if you are living alone. Actually we are not meant to live alone. We are meant to always be in the association of devotees. So instead of trying to artificially not feel lonely when you are alone, you should seek out the association of Krishna's devotees and associate with them as much as possible.Sometimes solitude is recommended in the revealed scriptures. But this solitude means that you should avoid the association of non-devotees. It does mean that you should avoid devotee association. It is sometimes said that man is a social animal.
