“Always too eager for the future, we Pick up bad habits of expectancy. Something is always approaching; every day Till then we say, Watching from a bluff the tiny, clear, Sparkling armada of promises draw near. How slow they are! And how much time they waste, Refusing to make haste! Yet still they leave us holding wretched stalks Of disappointment, for, though nothing balks Each big approach, leaning with brasswork prinked, Each rope distinct, Flagged, and the figurehead with golden tits Arching our way, it never anchors; it's No sooner present than it turns to past. Right to the last We think each one will heave to and unload All good into our lives, all we are owed For waiting so devoutly and so long. But we are wrong: Only one ship is seeking us, a black- Sailed unfamiliar, towing at her back A huge and birdless silence. In her wake No waters breed or break. - Next, Please”

“लक्ष्यहीन पथिक?’–बीजगुप्त की विचारधारा बदल गई.–क्या कोई भी व्यक्ति लक्ष्यहीन है–अथवा लक्ष्यहीन होना व्यक्ति के लिए कभी सम्भव है? शायद ‘हाँ’–बीजगुप्त असमंजस में पड़ गया. एक दूसरा प्रश्न उसी समय उसके सामने खड़ा हो गया–‘क्या मनुष्य का कोई लक्ष्य भी है? कोई भी व्यक्ति बता सकता है कि वह क्या करने आया है, क्या करना चाहता है और क्या करेगा? नहीं, यही तो नहीं सम्भव है. मनुष्य परतन्त्र है. परिस्थितियों का दास है, लक्ष्यहीन है. एक अज्ञात शक्ति प्रत्येक व्यक्ति को चलाती है. मनुष्य की इच्छा का कोई मूल्य ही नहीं है. मनुष्य स्वावलम्बी नहीं है, वह कर्त्ता भी नहीं है, साधन–मात्र है!”

“One must be present, fully and deeply, in the garden of the now. In this state of presence, the ego’s chatter can be heard, acknowledged, and understood for what it is – not the entirety of our being, but a part of our human experience. It is in this mindful acknowledgment that the ego is gently guided to take its rightful place as a servant to the essence, no longer the master of our destinies.”

“You are the gospel you need to read, You are the path you need to walk. You are the torch you need to light, You are the voice you need to talk. You are the sight you need to see, You are the thirst you need to quench. You are the warmth you need to wear, You are the drought you need to drench. You are the muck you need to mend, You are the wrong you need to right. You are the storm you need to brave, You are the fate you need to write.”

“संसार में इस समय दो मत हैं. एक जीवन को हलचलमय करता है; दूसरा, जीवन को शान्ति का केन्द्र बनाना चाहता है. दोनों ओर के तर्क यथेष्ट सुन्दर हैं. यह निर्णय करना कि कौन सत्य है, बड़ा कठिन कार्य है.”
