"Misery gives a certain
solace. You remain in crowd. Everyone comes and keeps asking what is wrong. And
when you answer, they say – “Oh! So sad!”,“Sorry, it happened this way.” And
you feel you are somebody. You are not alone. What is happening to you is
happening to everyone. You are ‘normal’. No one comes to disturb you, no one
expects anything from you, no one says anything to you. Who wants to be blamed
for hurting a miserable person? So all the boyfriends, girlfriends, wives,
husbands, couples, couplets, families remain in misery and pretend to each
other that they are happy."

Truthfulness
Truthfulness will have its
own hard way. Because you don’t know what is right or what is wrong. You are
just being honest about whatever is. The people close to you might start
pulling away. But face the danger, take the risk. Even the dogs keep barking
when no one is around.
Be a lion and roar in the face of
danger.
You don’t need to keep roaring. Roar
once and let the silence that follows do its work.
Love is not Slavery
Love is not slavery. Not
physical nor mental. Love will bring a great responsibility. And the only
responsibility is being honest. Right or wrong doesn’t matter. If you are
accepted for your honesty, good. If you are rejected for your honesty, good.
Death
“The
other night, suddenly, the lights went off. Everything dived into deep darkness
and silence. A thought struck me about how death is going to feel like. It
would be sudden, unexpected in darkness and silence. Everything will part from me
in a moment’s notice. The clothes I wear, the bed o which I sleep, things which
have been learned and things which have been unlearned, all the realizations
and understandings, the memories of joy and misery, the moments with loved
ones.
All, just in a moment’s notice.
For the first time really, the fear of death struck me. Honestly, it was
horrible.
And, the lights went on
suddenly.
And really, for the first time
light entered my soul.”
