Quote by Abhijit Naskar

“In the beginning of our love lives, it is the beastly instinct of sexual attraction that drives us all. The butterflies in your stomach simply signal your mind that the person in front of you would make a fantastic mate to make babies with. Without this primeval drive, you won’t ever fall for anyone in your entire lifetime. The very attraction you feel towards a person in a romantic way, is a mental manifestation of a subconscious desire to mate with that person.”

“Bliss is the greatest blessing in life. Without knowing bliss one lives in vain. In fact, one does not live, but only survives. One simply vegetetates. Life starts only when you start moving in the dimension beyond death. That is what meditation is: a ladder, a strategy, to go beyond death. And only a glimpse of the beyond is enough. Then you know that the body is going to die, but you are not going to die. You were here before birth, and you will be here after death. You are part of eternity. When you experience this, life becomes blissful. And in that blissfulness, one feels that God has blessed you. Then naturally gratitude arises. This gratitude is prayer, which is the highest state of love. Then you become thankful to existence. You feel what agift has been given to you. It is a gift that God has given to you only out of his abundance.”

“The mother was looking at nothing and listening to nothing but herself. “It’ll kill me, doctor! I’ll die of shame!” I made no attempt to dissuade her. I didn’t know what to do. We could see the father pacing back and forth in the little dining room next door. Apparently he hadn’t finished composing his attitude for the occasion. Maybe he was waiting for things to come to a head before selecting a posture. He was in a kind of limbo. People live from one play to the next. In between, before the curtain goes up, they don’t quite know what the plot will be or what part will be right for them, they stand there at a loss, waiting to see what will happen, their instincts folded up like an umbrella, squirming, incoherent, reduced to themselves, that is, to nothing. Cows without a train.”
