All my work and all my dealings with people feel very easy. Actually, everything is simple. There is one straight road – if you open your eyes you can go along it. I don’t see the need to search for all sorts of clever shortcuts. Happiness and sadness are both on the road – there is no road that avoids them – but peace is found only on this road, nowhere else.
Rabindranath Tagore
