Yes, I know, this is nothing but thy love, O beloved of my heart—-this golden light that dances upon the leaves, these idle clouds sailing across the sky, this passing breeze leaving its coolness upon my forehead. The morning light has flooded my eyes—-this is thy message to my heart. Thy face is bent from above, thy eyes look down on my eyes, and my heart has touched thy feet.

I dive down into the depth of the ocean of forms, hoping to gain the perfect pearl of the formless. No more sailing from harbor to harbor with this my weather-beaten boat. The days are long passed when my sport was to be tossed on waves. And now I am eager to die into the deathless. Into the audience hall by the fathomless abyss where swells up the music of toneless strings I shall take this harp...

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times… In life after life, in age after age, forever. My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs, that you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms, In life after life, in age after age, forever. Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, its age-old pain, Its ancient tale of being apart or together. As I stare...

The time that my journey takes is long and the way of it long. I came out on the chariot of the first gleam of light, and pursued my voyage through the wildernesses of worlds leaving my track on many a star and planet. It is the most distant course that comes nearest to thyself, and that training is the most intricate which leads to the utter simplicity of a tune. The traveler has to knock at ever...

Communication has been the major ingredient for the up gradation of the apes into human beings.

Slowly the language started shaping up and now we have countless dialects. Language is a medium that binds all human beings. It is the unique form, which...

1. Be clear about your expectations from the beginning Do you know in advance that you hate it when someone hits the snooze button fifteen times every morning, that you're a neat freak, and that you need ten minutes to yourself before talking to anyone after you wake up?

1. Never say "but." "A very smart woman I worked with once told me that if I eliminated the word 'but' from my professional vocabulary, I'd find greater acceptance for my ideas, and greater cooperation from my team members... The word 'but' negates everything that precedes it, and you cast a negative spin on anything you say when you use it... 'But' is exclusive and isolating; 'and'...

Man goes into the noisy crowd to drown his own clamour of silence. Man is immortal; therefore he must die endlessly. For life is a creative idea; it can only find itself in changing forms. Man's abiding happiness is not in getting anything but in giving himself up to what is greater than himself, to ideas which are larger than his individual life, the idea of his country, of humanity, of God. 人走...

Lips' language to lips' ears. Two drinking each other's heart, it seems. Two roving loves who have left home, pilgrims to the confluence of lips. Two waves rise by the law of love to break and die on two sets of lips. Two wild desires craving each other meet at last at the body's limits. Love's writing a song in dainty letters, layers of kiss-calligraphy on lips. Plucking flowers from two sets of...

The furthest distance in the world Is not between life and death But when I stand in front of you Yet you don't know that I love you The furthest distance in the world Is not when I stand in front of you Yet you can't see my love But when undoubtedly knowing the love from both Yet cannot be together The furthest distance in the world Is not being apart while being in love But when painly cannot re...

It is the pang of separation that spreads throughout The world and gives birth to shapes innumerable In the infinite sky. It is this sorrow of separation that gazes In silence all nights from star to star， And becomes lyric among rustling leaves In rainy darkness of July. It is this overspreading pain that Deepens into loves and desires, Into sufferings and joy in human homes; And this it is that...

There's a concept in psychology called "the comfort zone," which is a place or situation where you feel safe, comfortable, and without stress. It sounds nice and peaceful, doesn't it? Who wouldn't like to live in such a place all the time? Unfortunately, if you never venture outside of your comfort zone, you'll never grow. A kid who never tries cycling downhill because he's afraid of scraping his...

Many people come to us in our lives. But most of them are just trivial passengers. They show up here and there, now and then. But they never really know us. They never succeeded in opening the gate of our hearts. One's time is limited. And we should spend it in the things and people that are really worth our devotion. So don't waste your precious time in maintaining those unnecessary relationships...

When I started out as a reporter, I had to learn to really listen, which didn’t come easily to me. I’m from a family that loves to debate and argue, and I’m naturally opinionated. Early in my career, I found myself frequently interrupting my subjects, but when I played back the tapes of my interviews, I realized that not only were many of my interjections totally unnecessary, but they were also pr...

We keep arguing about what truth really is. And, most of the time, we insist that what we know is the truth. But in the end, what is the sound of truth? Waves on a beach? The laugh of a child?

For what is normal i...
