Does devotion, like meditation, also begin with loneliness?

According to Osho, devotion does not begin with loneliness but with solitude, an inner aloneness brimming with joy and self-sufficiency. Whether the path is devotion or meditation, religion starts when the 'crowd' inside dissolves, dependence on others drops, and a living, dancing peace arises. One can be outwardly among people yet inwardly solitary, open to the Divine.

Devotion and meditation start when you feel happily complete by yourself, not lonely and needy.
