“ਧਰਤੀ ਦੇ ਜਾਏ ਉਹੀ ਹੋ ਸਕਦੇ ਹਨ ਜੋ ਆਪਣੀ ਮਿੱਟੀ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਜੰਮੇ ਹੋਣ, ਜਿਹਨਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਮਿੱਟੀ ਨੇ ਹੀ ਪਾਲ਼ਿਆ ਹੋਵੇ ਤੇ ਉਸੇ ਮਿੱਟੀ ਉੱਤੇ ਹੀ ਉਹ ਖੜ੍ਹੇ ਹੋਣ। ਇਹੀ ਗੱਲ ਅਸਲੀ ਹੈ ਤੇ ਇਹ ਅਕਸਰ ਹੀ ਮੇਰੇ ਸਰੀਰ ਤੇ ਸੁਭਾਅ ਵਿੱਚ ਇਉਂ ਤਰੰਗਿਤ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ ਜਿਵੇਂ ਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਖੇਤਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਹਲ਼ ਵਾਹ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੋਵਾਂ, ਜਾਂ ਪੱਕੀਆਂ ਫਸਲਾਂ ਦੇ ਵਿਚਾਲੇ ਖੇਤਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਪਹੀਆਂ ਉੱਤੇ ਗਰਮੀ, ਸਰਦੀ, ਧੁੱਪਾਂ ਤੇ ਧੁੰਦਾਂ ਦੌਰਾਨ ਵਿਚਰ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੋਵਾਂ। ਇਹ ਉਹੀ ਰਾਹ ਹਨ ਜਿੰਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਮੇਰੀ ਮਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਉਸਦੇ ਪੁਰਖਿਆਂ ਦੇ ਲਹੂ ਨੂੰ ਵਗਦਾ ਤੇ ਧੜਕਦਾ ਰੱਖਿਆ।

The Brothers Karamazov is perhaps the greatest novel ever written. Dostoevsky dissects so many layers of the dark side of the human psyche that it is almost a required reading for people with a spiritual yearning.

The ultimate luxury today is a truly quiet life: a quiet living space, friends and family who understand you even when you don't say a word, quiet evening strolls in the woods, and plenty of time to converse with your soul silently. Everything else seems noise. 1/

Psychoanalysis stands as a monumentally influential intellectual force that profoundly shaped the 20th century and continues to resonate in the 21st. Its impact on Western culture is undeniable, woven into the very fabric of its intellectual heritage.
