William Dalrymple Quotes

People Think Of Our Life As Harsh, And Of Course In Many Ways It Is. But Going Into The Unknown World And Confronting It Without A Single Rupee In Our Pockets Means That Differences Between Rich And Poor, Educated And Illiterate, All Vanish, And A Common Humanity Emerges. As Wanderers, We Monks And Nuns Are Free Of Shadows From The Past. This Wandering Life, With No Material Possessions, Unlocks Our Souls. There Is A Wonderful Sense Of Lightness, Living Each Day As It Comes, With No Sense Of Ownership, No Weight, No Burden. Journey And Destination Became One, Thought And Action Became One, Until It Is As If We Are Moving Like A River Into Complete Detachment.
