How do you deal with isolation when you are enlightened?

Read original publication

In authentic enlightenment this question does not arise, because it is a jump into complete aloneness. It is not possible to experience loneliness in aloneness. Seeing people or not seeing people makes no difference. It can be very enjoyable, yes, but it makes no difference, so it cannot be said that social isolation, if it happens, needs to be dealt with.

But social isolation often does happen to people after self-realization or an awakening experience. Sometimes it happens willingly, sometimes not. If it happened to you, I cannot put it better than Osho did: “Suffer the pain of your aloneness”.
