Quote by Jayita Bhattacharjee

“Listen to the leaves for they sing the song of trees....how the trunk carries the story of the storms it withstood, the battles it fought with grace and silence yet stand tall, holding it in one piece....”

“True love grows out of silence. True love grows out the experienceof egolessness. Otherwise love remains superficial. Unless you know that you are not the ego, you cannot really love, because the ego will disturb love. The ego will poison love into jealousy, domination, anger and possessiveness.  They are all symptoms of the ego. They are not part of love. The only way to drop jealousy, possessiveness and domination is to drop the ego. Dropping the ego means to become  egoless, to become nobody, to become a nothingness. When there is no ego when you are not, there is silence. In thatsilence, the flower of love starts growing. The flower of love has the fragrance of the divine. Then love does not create anybondage for you. Then love brings joy, truth and freedom. Then love delivers you from misery, anguish, anxiety and loneliness. Then love makes you what life intended you to be.Then one has come home.”

“If people would observe the obvious occasions of silence; if they would subdue the inclination to tale-bearing, and that eager desire to engage attention, which is an original disease in some minds; they would be in little danger of offending with their tongue, and would, in a moral and religious sense, have due government over it.”

“Withholding speech, in other words, can signify domination: the one who says less wins the emotional game, which is exactly why self-help guides aimed at straight women ... advise women to meet men’s silence with silence (don’t call back, don’t respond to emails, and so on). Straight women are essentially being told to use silence to empower themselves by fanning the kind of desire that, as we have established, arises from the other’s enigma.”
