“হৃদয় তোমাকে পেয়েছি, স্রোতস্বিনী ! তুমি থেকে থেকে উত্তাল হয়ে ছোটো, কখনো জোয়ারে আকণ্ঠ বেয়ে ওঠো তোমার সে-রূপ বেহুলার মতো চিনি। তোমার উৎসে স্মৃতি করে যাওয়া আসা মনে-মনে চলি চঞ্চল অভিযানে, সাহচর্যেই চলি, নয় অভিমানে, আমার কথায় তোমারই তো পাওয়া ভাষা। রক্তের স্রোতে জানি তুমি খরতোয়া, ঊর্মিল জলে পেতেছি আসনপিঁড়ি, থৈথৈ করে আমার ঘাটের সিঁড়ি, কখনো-বা পলিচড়া-ই তোমার দোয়া। তোমারই তো গান মহাজনী মাল্লার, কখনো পান্সী-মাঝি গায় ভাটিয়ালি, কখনো মৌন ব্যস্তের পাল্লায়, কখনো-বা শুধু তক্তাই ভাসে খালি। কত ডিঙি ভাঙো, যাও কত বন্দর, কত কী যে আনো, দেখো কত বিকিকিনি, তোমার চলায় ভাসাও, স্রোতস্বিনী,”

“Do advise me,' he urged, 'as to how I can remove the illusions of the mind and free it from the turmoil to which it is always subjected, and realise God. I am simply caught up in the attachment to wife, house, money and property.' 'You have diagnosed,' Ramdas replied, 'the disease aright and also have a clear understanding of the remedy for it. Know in the first place that the God you seek is within yourself. He is the life and soul of the universe and to attain Him is the supreme purpose of life. Evil and sorrow are due to your belief that you are separate from this universal Truth. The ego has set up this wall of separation. Have a strong and intense longing to realise Him, that is, to know that your life is one with the life of the universe. Then surrender up the ego by constant identification with Him through prayer, meditation and performance of all action without desiring their fruit. As you progress on this path, which is the path of devotion, knowledge and self-surrender, your attachment to the unrealities of life will slacken, and the illusions of the mind will be dispelled. Now your heart will be filled with divine love, and your vision purified and equalised, and your actions will become the spontaneous outflow of your immortal being, yielding you the experience of true joy and peace. This is the culmination of human endeavour and fulfilment of the purpose of life.”

“So I decided I would do everything my Dad had not, everything I would need to have the perspective and point of view I felt he lacked, even if it meant getting lost, hurt, in trouble, or ending up somewhere I could never have dreamed of.”
