Quote by Maria José Silveira

“Era mais uma carta que acabava no lixo, e não no correio. A tristeza é preguenta, ela havia escrito. Não queria pregá-la na mãe. Mesmo porque sua tristeza passava logo. Sempre passava. Ainda que deixasse seu lastro. Um sedimento no fundo de sua alma, partículas de um peso. Peso que não chegava a contaminar seu jeito leve de ser, mas tornava seu olhar mais grave e a fazia perceber o que não percebia antes, a amplitude dos problemas do mundo. Talvez fosse esse o peso do amadurecimento.”

“You cannot seek happiness. If you seek happiness, you will become more and more unhappy. You have to disappear for appiness to come. You cannot seek and demand happiness. Happiness is a grace, which comes to you when you are open and available. If you demand happiness, you will destroy it. Happiness comes when you are not. It comes when you are silent and empty. In your total emptiness, suddenly happiness is there. You are the hindrance to happiness, so you cannot seek it. If you disappear only then happiness is there. When the self is completely gone, then only you are happy. To attain to happiness, one has to dissolve oneself completely. You have to disappear so that there is no hindrance to joy and happiness. Joy and happiness is the essence of existence, it is the nature of God. If you are not there, God will be there.”
