On the cover of my diary, written in green in, in Devnagiri, are the words 'Is Aundhi duniya ko dekhne ke liye sar ke bal khada renha padta hai' which I have attributed to Raj Kapoor in Shri 420 but could also be from awara. Not sure. This is under a stick figure of a man standing on his head.
Guess I always thought a little differently and hence my liking of this quote.
On the address page of the diary.
Nostalgia is recalling the fun without reliving the pain.
Some quotes I have noted down
Swami Vivekananda :
- We get misery in return for our love not from the fact that we love but from the fact that we expect love in return
- Ask Nothing, want nothing in return, give what you have to give; It will come back to you-- but do not think of that now; It will come back multiplied a thousand fold but the attention must not be on that. You have the power to give and there it ends.
- Whether you will or not, You have to give. The moment you say "I will not" the blow comes. You are hurt. None is there but will be compelled in the long run to give up everything, and the more one struggles against this law, the more miserable one feels. It is because we dare not give, because we are not resigned enough to accede to this grand demand of nature, that we are misreable. The forest is gone but we get heat in return.
The sun is taking up water from the oceans to return it in showers. You are a machine for taking and giving. You take in order to give. Ask therefore nothing in return, but the more you give, the more will come to you. The quicker you can empty the air out of the room, the quicker it will be filled by external air. If you close all doors and every aperture, that which is within will remain but that which is outside will never come in and that which is within will stagnate, degenerate and become poison.
A river is continually emptying itself into the ocean and is continually filling up again. Bar not the exit into the ocean. The moment you do, death seizes you.
