Famous Jayita Bhattacharjee Quotes

“To live is to flourish through the bends of an unforgiving life. The roads, as they wind and unwind, bring forth the wisdom that is to be understood, the risks of not living fully or a life half-lived. The merry hearts in woeful seasons are gifts to be bestowed in the fire of life, and wisdom is to be found in the ocean-deep eyes. Let laughter tear the darkness that came, let moonlight shine, tearing the night, for in the end it will remain as pearls.”

“An eye-opening experience can come in many ways. Sometimes, it comes as dawn pushing through the night to reveal the light. At other times, on the edge of loss, we realize what we need to, or when summer sadly ends and we smell autumn in the breeze, and the quiet goodbye. Sometimes, we can come by an ocean and carry its soul into ours. Expansion occurs in the sacred space. Transformation happens in so many subtle ways. Not every mentoring occurs in a classroom confined by four walls. Some go beyond them and unfold in unconfined spaces. That's when the seed of transformation explodes, and we begin growing.”

“Despite the despair and sadness, one must go out there and have a love affair with life. To the playful mind, every moment is a moment of festival, a journey to taste the fruit of life. Were it otherwise, the dew of heaven would never make us fresh, the sun would never burst to fill us with light, dusk would never paint the sky to awaken the lover in us, and the moon would never blush at night to call the poet in us.”

“Will you come?'..... Will you come and sit by me in this heavy silence? I do not call, for you to come and set me free. Nor do I wish, for you to come and take my agony. But will you hold me in your arms, when the tears fall, one by one? When the road ahead is too long to walk, when the pain unspoken, is heavy to the deep, and the sighs fall, in mute agony Will you come, and share with me a moment of silence? My friend, though I know, this journey is mine and mine alone; The pain is mine and mine to carry. But in the thick of grief, if the slog is heavy, Will you come, and sit by me, to let me know, I am not alone? This broken heart will stand up to life, for I will sit and sigh no more. But will flow as a river of light. Because of dark, I found the dawn. Because of agony, I found the joy. This broken heart is a mouth of songs. But while I journey from night to the morn, Will you come and sit by me, to share a moment in silence, to let me know, I am not alone?”

“The robins are singing, The sun is plunging, The farmers are hearing the call of homecoming. On sunset-bathed grass, Dusk came like a friend. Should they stay or should they go? A vastness sprawls on the distant sky, The neighbor of soul, the faceless wisdom, And in that moment, life budded into the deep.. Could it be that grandeur is heaven, that which is beyond all knowing, beyond all thunder, beyond all darkness, beyond the opening and closing, beyond perfection and decay? Is this the hour of wisdom, awakened by sunset, where nothing rises or rushes, leaving the shores with light?”

“The love-filled soul makes music in the sky. In the awakened spirit is a secret fire, to rise above the ground and kiss the sky, to awake and sense a realm so high, A vastness, a mystery where God resides, where veils are torn as the soul meets the sky. A journey, where a thousand blessings fall, and keeps you awake deep inside.”
