you mean by "alone" this state of oneness, then melting is possible. Then melting will be with existence itself.
But one should start learning melting with the beloved. One should always learn from the easiest. If you are going to learn swimming, swim in shallow water. Don't immediately jump into the ocean.
When you are capable of melting with your beloved in love, then it is possible for you to melt with the master in trust. Trust is the higher quality of love.
And if you become capable of melting with the master, then the master becomes a door to the whole existence. Then you can try to melt alone.
Then, too, you are not melting alone; it only appears to you that you are melting alone. You are melting into the universe itself. Because the existence is not present as the other -- as your beloved or the master -- it seems you are alone. But you are never alone. The existence is surrounding you from everywhere. You are almost like a fish in the ocean. The ocean is invisible, but you can try to understand it: you are breathing every moment, existence, in and out. Every cell of your body is breathing existence in and out. Every pore of your body is inhaling, exhaling.
You are eating food, which is your nourishment, without which you are going to die. In the food, you are eating the sun rays, the moon rays, the faraway stars and their effects, the earth. In all that is coming in fruits, in anything that you are eating, you are eating existence. You are breathing existence.
You are not alone. Because all this is not visible, you can think you are alone.
And once you have experienced the joy of melting into the master, heart-to-heart, center-to-center, then this third step is also possible, even though I call it impossible.
The impossible also can become possible if you go in the right way -- step by step.
Hence I am not against love between a man and a woman. I want it to be as deep and as total as possible because that will prepare you for the second step, the melting with the master.
One who has never been able to melt in love with a woman or with a man, will be incapable of melting with the master.
