Quote by Jayita Bhattacharjee

“What happens when you face a loss that leaves you unmoving? What happens when you cannot gather yourself up to cry it out? When everything seems inky black and you know not how to sail through life, then how will you keep moving? Will you let your sadness melt so you can flow again? Will you be the river that you go to for solace? O Heart, do not long for the river. Be the river in flow.”

“Would you believe me if I told you we can suffer and experience joy at the same time? Have you felt delight even while your muscles are burning during a climb? Is elation felt alongside the pains of childbirth? Can a mountain be simultaneously majestic and rugged? Joy and suffering can coexist in the same space: they can be experienced together.”

“Everybody is born with a song in their heart. Unless the song inside is sung, one remains miserable. Then the purpose of life remains unfulfilled. The moment you have sung your song, joy explodes in your life. You have arrived home, because you have poured your heart into existence. In that creative pouring one becomes part of the whole. All separation from the whole thing disappears. Then the ego is dissolved. And with the ego dissolved, birth and death disappears. Nobody attains it without being creative. Anything to be true, authentically true, has to be creative. Do whatsoever is your inner feeling to do. Find the inner ear, the inner listening, which can hear the small voice within, and follow it. Meditation is the way to throw you back upon yourself, so that you can listen to your heart and follow it. You cannot get a map of the journey. That has to be discovered by you. It is written within your being, but meditation can help you to reach that innermost core, where you can read the writing that you have carried with yourself forever, but which you have not looked at.”

“I don't wish to deny the reality of death or domination but instead laugh in the face of it. Laugh in the mindless, robotic face of oppression and repression, and its destruction. With loss comes grief and mourning, yes, but also a celebration of life itself, of theirs, of ours, of all nature. Joy, like revolution, is contagious and spreads like a forest fire.”

“In the end idealism annoyed Bouvard. ‘I don’t want any more of it: the famous cogito is a bore. The ideas of things are taken for the things themselves. What we barely understand is explained by means of words that we do not understand at all! Substance, extension, force, matter and soul, are all so many abstractions, figments of the imagination. As for God, it is impossible to know how he is, or even if he is! Once he was the cause of wind, thunder, revolutions. Now he is getting smaller. Besides, I don’t see what use he is.”
