“You must not resist life when it becomes inconvenient to live. You cannot outrun fear. You should not ignore pain. You will not outlive death...You spent three hours in a state of distress focused solely on one emotion, hoping to discard all those from your life as if your discomforts might expire with them. But life cannot be experienced one emotion at a time. It is a tapestry of sensation, a braided rope of feeling. We must allow for reflection even when we suffer. We must reach for compassion even when we triumph. If you spend your days waiting for your sorrows to end so that you might finally live” – he shook his head – “you will die an impatient man.”

“राम राखे, ऐसे रहिये जी, जीवन में खुशियाँ भर लिये जी। कोई दिन हलवा, कोई दिन सूखी रोटी, कोई मेवा मिठाई, कोई दिन भूखे सोइये जी। दुःख की घड़ियों में भी मुस्कुराइए जी, साथ निभाते रहें, दोस्त बनाइए जी। कदम कदम पर, प्रगति करिए जी, मंज़िल को पाकर, न ठहरिए जी। सच्चाई और प्यार से जीवन सजाइए जी, राम राखे, जैसे राखें, ऐसे रहिये जी।”

“You don't have to work to earn money to feed and clothe a body when it's dead. No one can take your dignity away when you're gone. I wish I could say what shuts down that thought is love for myself as a person deserving of life, or the fear of breaking the hearts of those who love me. Those feelings are present, but they aren't enough to shut it up. What makes me turn it off if another sensation that's always with me - a burning rage, sometimes morphing into total hatred. Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you for making me even consider that for a second. You may not want me to live how I need to live in order to be happy, but I won't give you the satisfaction of no longer having me as a problem. I will never stop being a burden on the state when the state decided to make me one in the first place. If I have to scam, commit crimes, and become a nuisance to the taxpayer, so be it. And I'll never once feel guilty. I can't say I didn't try doing things 'the right way'. If you don't allow me to exist as a person, I have no choice but to exist as a problem.”
