Solitude!

To me solitude is love. "Solitude has its own company" says the writer of this blog, Rafea Zaidi.

This statement of mine may appear queer to some, in fact I think to myriads but I'm damn sure that if I'll go on a hunt I will end up finding many who think the same and find solace in solitude.

The statement, "Solitude has its own company" has got a few words only but these few words have sure fire profound meaning.

Well, without being more edgy about this, I should ask a question: Is it not the solitude of lonely places that urges men, who are later to be known as great saints to leave their homes and go to some unfrequented place to meditate. Exactly,this is the point that I'm trying to explain. This is the practice that has passed down through the ages. They forsake their home for those forsaken places so that they can gain knowledge of things that are beyond this world.

However, not everyone is like them so, if we take these things from another perspective i.e. from the perspective of usual lives of people, solitude is a must, at least once in a twenty four hours day life. We, the Homo Sapiens, things being what they are, we are witnessing a great hustle and bustle in our lives. Hustle and bustle of life has grown to such an extent that sometimes it becomes hard to keep pace with the world. But what I believe, what I suggest and what my perception towards this is that solitude is the rescue.

Solitude is what that has in built in itself 'The Silence'. And Silence is what generates ideas. Yes, this is the truth. The ideas flash our minds only when our environs possesses silence. This is all the time secret of successful people that they try to find solitude. They look for some place where silence dwells. We find a saying also, "Work hard in silence and let your success be noise." This is the very truth and do follow this if you want to be successful in real sense.

I do personally suggest everyone out there to find some time for yourself or what one can call as, 'My time'. Find at least an hour of solitude in twenty four hours of a day to explore yourself. You can review in your mind or even pen down. In this time, you can ask yourself, whether your performance is conforming to your plans or not, whether this performance of yours will take you to your goal or not, whether the things that you are doing will help you in achieving your dreams or not. And if you are getting answer of any of these questions in negative, then you need to take some corrective action, you need to think of an idea. The benefit, that this 'My time' has got into the bargain is that it will make you serene to the core.

So I ask you all to just get some free time for your sake. You can cut down time from the time spend in doing gossips and add this time to "My time" for those gossips won't bear any fruit but that "My time" can be proved as a life saver by letting you heed on important things of life and inticing you to take necessary actions.

Listen to the echo of silence. Listen to the voice of silence. And tranquility will find you in the process.✍Rafea Zaidi
