The "white space" Vivek refers to has often been sucked up by pastimes historically. People used to carry very small books in their pocket (ok, mostly men) to amuse them in spare moments or as conversation starters. Games, in general, have always been great distractors or pastimes. Musical instruments. Pen and paper. Di(ce). People will talk about nothing to actually avoid the white space if they've no idea how to sit with it.
It's about knowing our inherent, natural and never changing value as individuals. In my mother's womb, as an infant, toddler and child, I really did not learn this of myself and so it's been nearly impossible over the last 50 years to see it in others. This is not to claim sympathy but simply to state a fact. Spiritual and emotional wholeness is best achieved as we are conceived and birthed. Having no real experience or reference to lean on, I now fully understand how people become addicts (most of us to some degree) and why they frequently relapse; why people repeat very negative and harmful behaviors, both to themselves and others which at the end of the day is the same thing.
For so many of us when we take on a new way of thinking with the hope of arriving at a comforting and nurturing space, there is nothing there. No experience that has simply been covered up and needs sweeping. It may be that over generations that space gets wider and deeper if allowed to go unchecked.
It is possible to create this sense from nothing, bit by bit, but those of us starting from nothing, starting with eyes that see little to no color or ears that hear little to no internal joy, have to be willing to give our lives over to the bigger picture. While I may not experience what I see written on the faces of others who understand deeply their spiritual value; their place in creation, I might be willing to continue for the benefit of those who come after me, and even those who came before.
My spiritual release and reward will be multiplied by my resistance to rushing to the finish line before I've done everything I can to leave this place in a more promising state than when I arrived.

@lovelysakariah1134 Says:
Viveks speaks a lot .. he got 1 hour with Sadghuru and half the time he was just blabbering about his life and experiences which is useless or some mombo jumbo that was taught in my schools .. He should prepare himself before an interview with such an enlightened personality which is broadcasted to the whole world .. if he wants to vent or speak the obvious he need to gather a smaller group and dicuss ..
@raffpotter8138 Says:
Modern life and living is such an amazing era in human developments. Being alone and in solitude is deemed as something being wrong with this individuals... it is such a shame these feelings arise... it is such a wonderful thing to be total by yourself. Such a pleasure. To be safe in silence. To just be tranquil in the silence of tranquility... to be thriving in your own company... such a joyous time... I have many friends and value them all... the ones I admire most are those who enjoy being by themselves totally their own... what a gift...

Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 6, Verse 10
योगी युञ्जीत सततमात्मानं रहसि स्थित: |
एकाकी यतचित्तात्मा निराशीरपरिग्रह: || 10||
yogī yuñjīta satatam ātmānaṁ rahasi sthitaḥ
ekākī yata-chittātmā nirāśhīr aparigrahaḥ
yogī—a yogi; yuñjīta—should remain engaged in meditation; satatam—constantly; ātmānam—self; rahasi—in seclusion; sthitaḥ—remaining; ekākī—alone; yata-chitta-ātmā—with a controlled mind and body; nirāśhīḥ—free from desires; aparigrahaḥ—free from desires for possessions
Translation
BG 6.10: Those who seek the state of Yog should reside in seclusion, constantly engaged in meditation with a controlled mind and body, getting rid of desires and possessions for enjoyment.

@ranjitsumati27 Says:
First of all, the fundamental structure or system and the way system is designed here in America in fact doesn't allow and cannot have the SOCIETY ideally you are discussing. It simply doesn't exist. And the important HUMAN aspect is just absent. No wonder the problem of DISCONNECT and thereby LONLINESS is going to remain........

I love this. Special men. I am a nurse and during the day when I feel overwhelmed and depressed, I get up and walk around the nursing home, and find a dementia patient to sit with or give a drink to. It get them to smile. It makes a huge difference in my mindset.

This is an important and worthwhile conversation about Loneliness. Vivek is so humble and graceful. His companion, the same and wise. Few social topics are as important as this.
@piccadelly9360 Says:
Where does this loneliness come from? We live in a world where we can get by on our own, we don't need any help. And that's the problem. If we offer help to someone, it can come across as strange. We need a system that brings everyone together again.
Yes meditation is the best if you can't do that there is also hypnosis which achieves the same as meditation .
What is very important ... you are not alone we are all one single consciousness. It is like an ocean of consciousness made up of individual conscious drops

@tiagociriaco7380 Says:
No fears, no loneliness. As simple as that.
Solitude and loneliness are 2 diferent things.
Building connections is not a solution in 5D.
It is a 3D solutions.
People seek connections to feel secure.
You must find a way to find security without connections.
Expell fears and build security within you. Do not depend on others..
The future is not about connections. But about disconnections.
We have to learn to survive in a disconnected world.

I disagree the title!!!
I am this I am. I am you and you are me we are all One. Loli esa is for those disconnected. Silence is the doorway to source. Thus, Loli es is a belief system or enfoctrination. Source is everywhere, more over is unconditional love and Oneness or connectivity frm the higher mind /heart in this realm!!!
