Solitude has existed since birth, and is something that we naturally huddle close to for our entire lives. To begin with, humanity cannot exist without a sense of separation. However, once we relinquish our five senses, and our souls are released into the universe, it disappears and fades away, as we become one with the air. God has given us our sense of separate individuality, of a self, and after living the fullness of our lives, learning much from our emotions and feelings, perhaps it is our role to return those memories to heaven when we take leave of this earth. That one single, instantaneous moment when our souls are allowed to feel peace, the sense of unity of various elements coexisting—that indeed is the truth, while suffering is nothing more than an illusion invented by humanity.
孤独とは生まれた時からそこにあり、当たり前のように生涯寄り添うものです。そもそも分離感なくして人は成り立ちません。しかし五感を手放し宇宙へ心を解き放った時、空(くう)と一つになりそれは消えます。神より分たれた個としての自分、喜怒哀楽から学び多き人生を送り、それらの記憶を天へお返しすることが私達に課せられた役割なのでしょう。ほんの一瞬のうちに感じることの許された心の平安、異なる存在同士の一体感。それこそが真実であり、苦悩は人の創り出した幻に過ぎません。
