“यार, देखो बुरा मत मानना बे। इलाहाबाद से है। अबे, तबे, कस-में हर बात में निकल आता है। मन में कुछ नहीं रखते। जो कुछ आए तो बक के बराबर कर देते हैं। कभी-कभी इस चक्कर में लभिड़ भी जाते हैं पर देखो हम यार हैं तो ऐसे ही। गाली-ऊली दे दें तो बुरा मत

“The lotus is the most beautiful flower, whose petals open one by one. But it will only grow in the mud. In order to grow and gain wisdom, first you must have the mud --- the obstacles of life and its suffering. ... The mud speaks of the common ground that humans share, no matter what our stations in life. ... Whether we have it all or we have nothing, we are all faced with the same obstacles: sadness, loss, illness, dying and death. If we are to strive as human beings to gain more wisdom, more kindness and more compassion, we must have the intention to grow as a lotus and open each petal one by one. ”

“When a child first catches adults out -- when it first walks into his grave little head that adults do not always have divine intelligence, that their judgments are not always wise, their thinking true, their sentences just -- his world falls into panic desolation. The gods are fallen and all safety gone. And there is one sure thing about the fall of gods: they do not fall a little; they crash and shatter or sink deeply into green muck. It is a tedious job to build them up again; they never quite shine. And the child's world is never quite whole again. It is an aching kind of growing.”
