Maharaja Ranjit Singh Quotes

“Mother today had displayed that rustic courage of the country; the free unshackled unrestrained energy that so characterised the earthy Sikh people. A mooring was coming undone in his heart. He was secretly proud of his mother. He might have felt embarrassed at her lack of restraint but he desperately wanted to get some of that raw courage. He could only dream of it. He had a spontaneous vision of an expansive green field stretching acre after acre under a blazing sun. That is where his people got it from.”

“They have done me so much wrong. I have found no rest since the day I left Lahore. See these eyes, they are of little use now. See these hands of mine, they tremble. My skin looks now like a shrivelled date. Though my Waheguru knows, that despite these physical infirmities, a rare strength wells up within me when I think of Duleep and Lahore.”

“Your mind, son, that is the power you have when your body is in chains. Don’t let them get to your mind. They can chain up your limbs, they can hold you hostage in alien lands, but they can’t stop the flow of your thoughts, your own mind. Hold on to that, son. If you ask me what we ought to salvage, I would say salvage the mind. We can always fill up the Toshakhana, it is the mind that needs to be free of chains.”
