Sept 4, 2026 - Alone
Sloka
Ahameko name kaschit nahamanyasya kasyachit naham pasyami yasyaham tam na pasyami yo mama
English tr.
I am alone; none is mine; of none else am I, I see none whose I am, none who is mine.
Jean-Paul Sartre wrote something similar:
Hell is other people.
Comment
Other people don’t exist
So neither does hell.
It’s not that other people don’t exist
Being so completely alone
They don’t exist in reference to me
Only themselves
I am
Is alone without any point of reference
I thought there were people out there
But out there and people were just a bad dream
What a relief!
That all these thoughts, emotions, and desires
Are completely useless
There’s freedom after all
And no one here to claim it
Who on earth would I tell?
All that’s left just shines.
So I am completing my assignment
For no other reason than its mine
It just showed up here
I don’t know why
Very important to take care of these things completely.
