Don't miss these opportunities!
And I don't see that there are many problems. Simple problems are there. Insecurity is a problem -- but that is part of feeling alone, being left alone. Nobody can fill your aloneness. You have to fill it by your inner light. We can come closer and closer and closer -- it is beautiful to come close -- but still we remain two. Somewhere a meeting happens.
For example if we burn two lamps here in this room, they meet -- because their light meets with each other's light... mingles, melts. You cannot divide the light of the first from the light of the second, but still the lamps are different. You can bring them close, but their flames will remain different. Their light will dissolve into each other -- that's love... but their meditation will remain alone.
You cannot melt into the other. Only your outer aura can melt into the other, your light can melt into the other -- but your centre will remain always untouched by the other. And it is good -- otherwise you would be corrupted through and through. If there were no centre where you can go into deep aloneness, you would not have any place to move when things become too hard, when the marketplace is horrible. Where will man move when things are too bad outside? So you have an inner shrine. Whenever something goes wrong, you can close your eyes and go deep into yourself. You can come back again full of energy, again ready to love, again ready to relate.
Let it be a rhythm, and have a very very free swing -- sometimes alone and sometimes together. These are two polarities, and they both go together. If you want just a relationship, and you don't want to be alone, your relationship will be just superficial -- because you don't know your own centre, so how can you relate deeply? And if you want to simply be alone and don't want to relate, your aloneness will be poor. Enrichment comes from others. Relate as much as you can, but always come back home and go deep into your being, and rest there. That too, as much as you can.
The problem arises if you choose one -- if you choose a relationship as life. You are saying that the pendulum of a clock should only go
