As to when I shall visit civilization, it will not be soon, I think. I have not tired of the wilderness; rather I enjoy its beauty and the vagrant life I lead, more keenly all the time. I prefer the saddle to the streetcar and starsprinkled sky to a roof, the obscure and difficult trail, leading into the unknown, to any paved highway, and the deep peace of the wild to the discontent bred by cities. Do you blame me then for staying here, where I feel that I belong and am one with the world around me? It is true that I miss intelligent companionship, but there are so few with whom I can share the things that mean so much to me that I have learned to contain myself. It is enough that I am surrounded with beauty

Indian culture is designed in a way that keeps this world alive with the support of the Granth Veda Shastra Purana Ayurveda and Yoga.

Never take for granted those who welcome us home at the end of the day, those who raise a glass to our successes, and those who comfort us in our difficulties.

We will not wake up one morning with a complete sense of self having been granted all answers to the universe. But, it is certainly worth a try.

Your decision not to join the crowd may be what God is waiting for to grant you revelation on how to deliver your family, your country, business, profession or even your church!

Pay attention to the intricate patterns of your existence that you take for granted.

Almost none of the poetries I admire stick to their labels, native or adopted ones. Rather, they are vagrant in their identifications. Tramp poets, there you go, a new label for those with unstable allegiances.

Some of the greatest poetry is revealing to the reader the beauty in something that was so simple you had taken it for granted.

Break a vase, and the love that reassembles the fragments is stronger than that love which took its symmetry for granted when it was whole.

At times you've no one around to be blamed for all the shit you have to go through in life. It's not always the mistake of the people of the world that you were not granted something you wished so bad to have. It's just not written for you. It's not as easy to feel as it sounds to hear this fact from your loved ones who're trying to console you or read anywhere on a paper, unless and until you're in those circumstances experiencing the thing you loved the most taken away from your hands. Every second feels like torture that you've never heard, never encountered, or experienced before.

God grant ... that he may learn to understand in time, that who so is minded to do as he himself wills will soon enough see the day when he will find he has done that which he had never willed.

So obscure are the greatest events, as some take for granted any hearsay, whatever its source, others turn truth into falsehood, and both errors find encouragement with posterity.

But I do know we're deficient in some way. We are too involved in materialistic things, and they don't satisfy us. The loving relationships we have, the universe around us, we take these things for granted.

The problem when you are a strong, capable, self-confident person, is that more often than not, people think that you don't really need things like comfort, reassurance, loyalty and guidance. People are more likely to look at you and say, "She doesn't need this", "She doesn't need that", "She's already all of this and all of that". But then the truth is that most probably, you are a strong, capable, self-confident person because you built yourself brick-by-brick into that person; because you HAD to BECOME that person; because you had determination enough to make yourself into the image that you knew you needed to become. At the heart of many strong, confident people, is a heart most longing of the things that most others simply take for granted.

The truth is, immigrants tend to be more American than people born here.

In a way, the world?view of the Party imposed itself most successfully on people incapable of understanding it. They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening. By lack of understanding they remained sane. They simply swallowed everything, and what they swallowed did them no harm, because it left no residue behind, just as a grain of corn will pass undigested through the body of a bird.
