“It is in no man's power to have whatever he wants, but he has it in his power not to wish for what he hasn't got, and cheerfully make the most of the things that do come his way.”

“When service is unto people, the bones can grow weary, the frustration deep. Because, agrees Dorothy Sayers, "whenever man is made the center of things, he becomes the storm-center of trouble. The moment you think of serving people, you begin to have a notion that other people owe you something for your pains...You will begin to bargain for reward, to angle for applause... When the eyes of the heart focus on God, and the hands on always washing the feet of Jesus alone - the bones, they sing joy and the work returns to it's purest state: eucharisteo. The work becomes worship, a liturgy of thankfulness. "The work we do is only our love for Jesus in action" writes Mother Theresa. "If we pray the work...if we do it to Jesus, if we do it for Jesus, if we do it with Jesus... that's what makes us content." Deep joy is always in the touching of Christ - in whatever skin He comes to us in. Page 194”

“But here I am in July, and why am I thinking about Christmas pudding? Probably because we always pine for what we do not have. The winter seems cozy and romantic in the hell of summer, but hot beaches and sunlight are what we yearn for all winter.”

“আমরা তো অল্পে খুশি
আমরা তো অল্পে খুশি, কী হবে দু:খ করে?
আমাদের দিন চলে যায় সাধারণ ভাতকাপড়ে।
চলে যায় দিন আমাদের অসুখে ধারদেনাতে
রাত্তিরে দুভায়ে মিলে টান দিই গঞ্জিকাতে।
সবদিন হয়না বাজার, হলে হয় মাত্রাছাড়া -
বাড়িতে ফেরার পথে কিনে আনি গোলাপচারা।
কিন্তু পুঁতব কোথায়? ফুল কি হবেই তাতে?
সে অনেক পরের কথা টান দিই গঞ্জিকাতে।
আমরা তো অল্পে খুশি, কী হবে দু:খ করে?
আমাদের দিন চলে যায় সাধারণ ভাতকাপড়ে।
মাঝে মাঝে চলেও না দিন বাড়ি ফিরি দুপুররাতে ;
খেতে বসে রাগ চড়ে যায় নুন নেই ঠান্ডা ভাতে।
রাগ চড়ে মাথায় আমার আমি তার মাথায় চড়ি,
বাপব্যাটা দুভায়ে মিলে সারা পাড়া মাথায় করি।
করি তো কার তাতে কী? আমরা তো সামান্য লোক।
আমাদের ভাতের পাতে লবণের ব্যবস্থা হোক।”

“There is no better place as better as where God has placed you, be it good or bad, for His better reasons. Just keep calm and be humble and diligent enough to learn the better and real reasons that shall take and place you at the best place He wants to place you! If you don’t understand the lessons, ask Him for the reasons. If He answers you fine, if not, just keep going and keep learning the lessons. You shall definitely get a good understanding in the end!”

“We walk on waters
but it’s not a miracle
we skim life’s surface so lightly
our sleepwalking is literal
We miss out on sunsets
though their poetry is lyrical
we are trapped in distractions
their net often digital
Contentment abounds
not in the minds who ponder
but in the eyes of those
who look at the world
in a state of perpetual wonder”
