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.”

“Ever heard the story of discovery, of dawn after night. How the waterfall sings ecstasy to a broken heart! The night woven with fears and the heart stitched with trembling, Is curious to find what tomorrow may bring. Weeping and sighing, you fall asleep, And out steps the dawn from the womb of night. There, dawn the visitor, arrives with a gift. What gift is it? O, Heart, You see, a cup of gold. The weeping being comes quietly, with wonder in the eyes. She brushed away the teardrops that fell in the night. Oh! What wealth you brought to this begging heart of mine? From the curled clouds came the laughter, ‘I am the opening dawn, I am the paradise behind the night.’ The begging heart now sheds drops of joy. ‘Oh! But I thought the sun descended into eternity!’ Dawn exclaimed. “O, Heart, the sun only sank to pull out the gold, For the world to behold!” The seed of light fell in the soil to rise as a tree and surprise the world, Sun too, came out with a land of gold, For on the other side of night, is the land of paradise. Everything that dies returns with a gift. O Heart, do not weep, for this is the life of coming and going, Yet leaving behind a scent of eternity.”
