Quote by Avijeet Das

“Morning finds the shiuli fallen, white stars on wet earth. I pick one— its fragrance is a memory I cannot place. A child laughs nearby. The flower wilts in my palm. Everything beautiful has an expiry date. I learn this again and again”

“O Lord Shiva, Eternal dancer of the endless night, Whose steps create the stars, Whose rhythm shapes the flow of time, In Your divine motion, the cosmos is born, And in Your stillness, the universe dissolves. You are the flame that never flickers, The silence behind every sound, The breath within all living beings, The boundless sky where consciousness awakens. Your matted locks cradle the sacred river, Your crescent moon glows with timeless wisdom, Your third eye holds the fire of truth, Burning away illusion and revealing the One. O Mahadeva, In Your dance we find creation, In Your grace we find liberation, In Your presence we find peace. Let Your cosmic rhythm flow through our hearts, Let Your light rise within our minds, Let Your love guide our every step, Until we become one with Your eternal consciousness. Har Har Mahadev. Om Namah Shivaya.”

“They passed through the trees like a star racing into the distance, though Emlin wasn't looking where they were going. She wrapped her legs tightly around the horse, then turned her head upwards where the other stars and the moon were out waiting for her. They shone down their influence and, as soon as horse and rider burst from the forest, Emlin reached out her hand upwards and she felt as if she could touch them, twinkling in the palm of her hand.”
