Famous Jayita Bhattacharjee Quotes

“Every soul is madly moved by the swell of seas....the endlessness of sandy stretches....the limitless freedom of heaven....for in the immensity of grandeur, you pause in awe and there you realize your insignificance. Your eyes though catch the range of mountains and the forests so thick, and the stars strewn in a night sky....though you feel the frozen expanse and dismal heath...the wild peonies laughing on the meadows...still, there is a maze, so powerful it seems....for boundless, countless, unending it is. That which you feel within is powerful and the more you slip into your feelings...the more it has its hold over you. The layer of emotions you have in multitudes might seem in conflict at times...but remain in awe by what is yet to be seen...for what is unseen is even more powerful than what is already seen. This is called madness....an inviting, enticing, overpowering madness to which you need to surrender...for this is the pathway to freedom it seems....”

“Looking at a flower, tracing its petals, we are rooted in the moment. As sunlight falls on the blossom, we are caught in awe and wonder. The scent breaks us free from stress and racing thoughts; its colors capture our attention. Touching the fresh petals, we feel tender inside. Inhaling the scent deeply, we are anchored in the moment, allowing the essence to ground us. While beholding its beauty, we realize its fragility too; that a time will come when the flower will wither, and the petals will fall to the ground. We stare at its momentariness, accepting the truth of impermanence.”

“To seek shelter in the art is to find the sweets in this unsweetened life. It is not the exquisiteness or flawlessness that matters but it makes you grow inside. As you draw a flower, you become a flower inside...as you paint a portrait, your soul gets colored. As you write a poem, you fly among the clouds...As you sing in aloneness, it becomes a song of your soul. As you dance, you drink the wine of ecstasy. While practicing art, you create something and someone. You create yourself...”

“We cannot separate the fragrance from the flower. Neither can we separate a river from the rain that trickles and flows downhill, ultimately gathering into a river. Similarly, we can never separate the creation from the creator. Gazing deeply at every facet of creation, be it a mountain, an ocean, a flower, or a meadow, in every single face, it is the light of God that shines through. In every face of this universe, it is his face that emerges. This is when our realization blossoms. But when do we realize this? That the rain becomes a river, the wave becomes an ocean, the fragrance becomes a flower. When we are mindful, we sense the peak every moment. It's then that we blossom.”
