“I had to become a fool, to find Atman in me again. I had to sin, to be able to live again. Where else might my path lead me to? It is foolish, this path, it moves in loops, perhaps it is going around in a circle. Let it go as it likes, I want to to take it.”

“মনে মনে সারাদিন দেখা, মনে মনে নিত্য সহবাস
সারাক্ষণ কাছে কাছে থাকি, সারাদিন কথা বলি
"বইখানা কোথায় ফেললে?"
বেরুচ্ছো কি? ফিরবে কখন?'
মনে মনে লাগিয়ে দি'জামার বোতাম
ভুরু থেকে সরিয়ে দি' ঝুঁকে-পড়া কেশ
মনে মনে এগিয়ে দি' কলম, রুমাল।
মনে মনে অহর্নিশি,মনে মনে সারা দিনরাত
খুব ঝগড়া, খুব যত্ন, মনে মনে আদরটাদর
সারাদিন সারারাত, আজীবন নিখিল বিস্তার-
মনে মনে মনের মানুষ।”

“THE WORLD IS increasingly designed to depress us. Happiness isn’t very good for the economy. If we were happy with what we had, why would we need more? How do you sell an anti-ageing moisturiser? You make someone worry about ageing. How do you get people to vote for a political party? You make them worry about immigration. How do you get them to buy insurance? By making them worry about everything. How do you get them to have plastic surgery? By highlighting their physical flaws. How do you get them to watch a TV show? By making them worry about missing out. How do you get them to buy a new smartphone? By making them feel like they are being left behind. To be calm becomes a kind of revolutionary act. To be happy with your own non-upgraded existence. To be comfortable with our messy, human selves, would not be good for business.”
