65 " A day of Silence Can be a pilgrimage in itself. A day of Silence Can help you listen To the Soul play Its marvelous lute and drum. Is not most talking A crazed defense of a crumbling fort?I thought we came here To surrender in Silence, To yield to Light and Happiness, To Dance within, In celebration of Love's Victory "

72 " তারপর ও, এতো বহু হাজার বছর পরেও, সূর্য কখনো চাঁদকে বলে না, ‘তোমার রুপে্রছটা তো আমারই দান'। সত্যিকারের ভালবাসা তো এমনই হয়, ভালবাসার আলোয় সারা আকাশ ভেসে যায়।translated by - Professon Khair Jahan Sogra, IBA, University of Dhaka "

78 " If It Is Not Too Dark Go for a walk, if it is not too dark. Get some fresh air, try to smile. Say something kind To a safe-looking stranger, if one happens by. Always exercise your heart’s knowing. You might as well attempt something real Along this path: Take your spouse or lover into your arms The way you did when you first met. Let tenderness pour from your eyes The way the Sun gazes warmly on the earth. Play a game with some children. Extend yourself to a friend. Sing a few ribald songs to your pets and plants—Why not let them get drunk and wild! Let’s toast Every rung we’ve climbed on Evolution’s ladder. Whisper, “I love you! I love you!” To the whole mad world. Let’s stop reading about God—We will never understand Him. Jump to your feet, wave your fists, Threaten and warn the whole Universe That your heart can no longer live Without real love! "
79 " Start seeing everything as God, But keep it a secret. "
80 " It is all just a big love contest, and I never lose. "
