यह अहसास वाकई डरावना था कि जिन भावनात्मक गुणों को इंसानों के बीच सबसे ज़्यादा सराहा जाता है—जैसे वफादारी, स्थिरता और स्नेह—वही बदलाव की राह में सबसे बड़ी रुकावट बनते हैं।

It was chilling to realize that the sentimental qualities most valued between people, like loyalty, constancy, and affection, are the ones most likely to impede change.

रास्ते में क्या हुआ, मैं किससे मिला, यह सब तो बस इत्तेफाक था। मुझे तब तक यह अहसास नहीं हुआ था कि असल में ये रुकावटें ही मेरी असली यात्रा थीं।

What happened on the way, who I met, all that was incidental. I had not quite realized that the interruptions were the journey.

जैसे-जैसे मैं अपने पहले महाद्वीप की यात्रा कर रहा हूँ, मैं यह सीख रहा हूँ कि काम को अंजाम देना वास्तव में बहुत आसान है, बस उसके बारे में सोचते रहना डरावना होता है।

I am learning, as I make my way through my first continent, that it is remarkably easy to do things, and much more frightening to contemplate them.

शायद आप जानते ही होंगे कि कैसा महसूस होता है जब आप अपने जीवन में कुछ बेहद बड़ा करने का फैसला करते हैं, कुछ ऐसा जो आपकी सारी क्षमताओं की परीक्षा ले ले। ऐसे में आपको लग सकता है कि आप पूरी कायनात के साथ ताकत की किसी आजमाइश में उलझे हुए हैं।

Maybe you know how it is when you have decided to do something really enormous with your life, something that stretches your resources to the limit. You can get the feeling that you are engaged in a trial of strength with the universe.

मेरे भीतर वे बीज मौजूद हैं जिनसे यदि आवश्यक हो, तो पूरी कायनात की रचना की जा सकती है। मुझमें कहीं न कहीं मानवता का एक मूल ढांचा और पूरी दुनिया का होलोग्राम छिपा है। इन रहस्यों को खोजने की कोशिश से बढ़कर मेरे जीवन में कुछ भी महत्वपूर्ण नहीं है।

There are in me the seeds from which, if necessary, the universe could be constructed. In me somewhere there is a matrix for mankind and a holograph for the whole world. Nothing is more important in my life than trying to discover these secrets.
