Let your relationship not be based on need

The following is an excerpt from a samvaad (dialogue) session with Acharya Prashant.

There is no such thing as being isolated. To be is to be related and without relationship, there is no existence. What do we mean by relationship? It is an interconnected challenge and response between two people, between you and me, the challenge which you throw out and which I accept or to which I respond; also the challenge I throw out to you.

The relationship between two people creates society; society is not independent of you and me; the mass is not by itself a separate entity but you and I in our relationship to each other create the mass, the group, the society.

~ J. Krishnamurti

Questioner (Q): Acharya Ji, is there any connection between aloneness and relationship? Are they the same, different, opposite, or what? Please explain.
