किसी से प्रेम करना केवल एक तीव्र भावना नहीं है—यह एक निर्णय है, एक समझ है, एक वादा है।

To love somebody is not just a strong feeling - it is a decision, it is a judgment, it is a promise.

मेरा मानना है कि एक ऐसे स्वस्थ समाज की उम्मीद की जानी चाहिए और करनी भी चाहिए जो मनुष्य की इस क्षमता को बढ़ावा दे कि वह अपने साथी इंसानों से प्रेम करे, काम करे और सृजन करे, अपनी तर्क-बुद्धि और तटस्थता को विकसित करे तथा अपनी उस आत्म-छवि को मजबूत करे जो उसकी रचनात्मक ऊर्जा के अनुभव पर आधारित हो। मेरा मानना है कि हम उस मानसिक स्वास्थ्य के सामूहिक पुनरुद्धार की उम्मीद कर सकते हैं और करनी भी चाहिए, जिसकी पहचान प्रेम करने और सृजन करने की क्षमता से होती है।

I believe that one can and must hope for a sane society that furthers man's capacity to love his fellow men, to work and create, to develop his reason and his objectivity of a sense of himself that is based on the experience of his productive energy. I believe that one can and must hope for the collective regaining of a mental health that is characterized by the capacity to love and to create.

सम्मान कोई डर या विस्मय नहीं है; यह... किसी व्यक्ति को वैसा ही देखने की क्षमता है जैसा वह वास्तव में है, उसकी अनूठी शख्सियत को स्वीकार करना है। इसलिए, सम्मान का अर्थ है शोषण का सर्वथा अभाव। मैं चाहता हूँ कि जिससे मैं प्रेम करूँ वह मेरे लिए नहीं, बल्कि खुद अपने लिए और अपने ही तरीके से विकसित हो और फले-फूले।

Respect is not fear and awe; it...[is]the ability to see a person as he is, to be aware of his unique individuality. Respect, thus, implies the absence of exploitation. I want the loved person to grow and unfold for his own sake, and in his own ways, and not for the purpose of serving me.

हर महान कला अपने मूल स्वभाव से ही उस समाज के संघर्ष में होती है जिसमें वह मौजूद होती है। वह अस्तित्व के सत्य को व्यक्त करती है, इस बात की परवाह किए बिना कि यह सत्य किसी दिए गए समाज के अस्तित्व के उद्देश्य को पूरा करता है या उसमें बाधा बनता है। हर महान कला क्रांतिकारी होती है क्योंकि वह मनुष्य की वास्तविकता को छूती है और मानव समाज के विभिन्न अस्थायी रूपों की वास्तविकता पर सवाल उठाती है।

All great art is by its very essence in conflict with the society with which it exists. It expresses the truth about the existence regardless of whether this truth serves or hinders the survival purpose of a given society. All great art is revolutionary because it touches upon the reality of man and questions the reality of the various transitory forms of human society.

जब तक कोई यह मानता है कि उसका आदर्श और उद्देश्य उसके बाहर है—बादलों के पार, अतीत में या भविष्य में—तब तक वह खुद से बाहर भटकेगा और उस पूर्णता को वहाँ तलाशेगा जहाँ वह मिल ही नहीं सकती। वह हर जगह समाधान और उत्तर खोजेगा सिवाय उस जगह के जहाँ वे वास्तव में मिल सकते हैं—यानी खुद उसके अपने भीतर।

As long as anyone believes that his ideal and purpose is outside him, that it is above the clouds, in the past or in the future, he will go outside himself and seek fulfillment where it cannot be found. He will look for solutions and answers at every point except where they can be found- in himself.

मैं कहूँगा कि आज के समय में प्रेम एक अपेक्षाकृत दुर्लभ घटना है, आज हमारे पास भावनाओं का दिखावा बहुत है; प्रेम को लेकर हमारे मन में बहुत से भ्रम हैं, खासकर इसे एक ऐसी चीज़ मानने के रूप में जिसमें इंसान अचानक 'पड़' जाता है।

I would say that love today is a relatively rare phenomenon, that we have a great deal of sentimentality; we have a great deal of illusion about love, namely as a... as something one falls in.

मनुष्य का जीवन को नष्ट करना उतना ही चमत्कारिक करतब है जितना कि उसका सृजन करना, क्योंकि जीवन खुद एक चमत्कार है, एक अनसुलझा रहस्य है। विनाश के कृत्य में, मनुष्य खुद को जीवन से ऊपर उठा लेता है; वह एक प्राणी के रूप में अपनी सीमाओं से परे चला जाता है। इस प्रकार, मनुष्य के सामने जो अंतिम विकल्प होता है—चूँकि वह अपनी सीमाओं से परे जाने के लिए प्रेरित होता है—वह है सृजन करना या नष्ट करना, प्रेम करना या घृणा करना।

That man can destroy life is just as miraculous a feat as that he can create it, for life is the miracle, the inexplicable. In the act of destruction, man sets himself above life; he transcends himself as a creature. Thus, the ultimate choice for a man, inasmuch as he is driven to transcend himself, is to create or to destroy, to love or to hate.

लोग यह नहीं समझ पाते कि मुख्य प्रश्न यह नहीं है: "क्या मुझसे प्रेम किया जाता है?" जो कि काफ़ी हद तक इस बात का दूसरा रूप है: "क्या लोग मुझे पसंद करते हैं? क्या मेरी रक्षा की जाती है? क्या मेरी प्रशंसा की जाती है?" मुख्य प्रश्न यह है: "क्या मैं प्रेम कर सकता हूँ?"

आस्था रखने के लिए साहस की ज़रूरत होती है—जोखिम उठाने की क्षमता की, और यहाँ तक कि दर्द तथा निराशा को स्वीकार करने के लिए तैयार रहने की। जो व्यक्ति जीवन की प्राथमिक शर्तों के रूप में केवल सुरक्षा और संरक्षा की जिद करता है, वह कभी आस्था नहीं रख सकता; जो खुद को सुरक्षा के ऐसे किले में बंद कर लेता है जहाँ दूरी और अधिकार ही उसके बचाव के साधन हैं, वह खुद को एक कैदी बना लेता है। प्रेम पाने और प्रेम करने दोनों के लिए साहस चाहिए—कुछ खास मूल्यों को सर्वोपरि मानने का साहस, और उन मूल्यों पर सब कुछ दाँव पर लगाकर छलांग लगाने का साहस।

To have faith requires courage, the ability to take a risk, the readiness even to accept pain and disappointment. Whoever insists on safety and security as primary conditions of life cannot have faith; whoever shuts himself off in a system of defense, where distance and possession are his means of security, makes himself a prisoner. To be loved, and to love, need courage, the courage to judge certain values as of ultimate concern – and to take the jump and to stake everything on these values.

प्रेम कोई ऐसी उच्च शक्ति नहीं है जो हम पर बरस पड़ती है और न ही यह कोई ऐसा कर्तव्य है जो हम पर थोपा गया है; यह हमारी अपनी वह शक्ति है जिसके जरिए हम खुद को दुनिया से जोड़ते हैं और उसे सचमुच अपना बनाते हैं।

Love is hot a higher power which descends upon mn nor a duty which is imposed upon him; it is his own power by which he relates himself to the world and makes it truly his.

आधुनिक समाज में जिस अलगाव (अजनबीपन) से हम दो-चार होते हैं, वह लगभग पूर्ण है... इंसान ने चीज़ों की एक ऐसी दुनिया खड़ी कर दी है जैसी पहले कभी अस्तित्व में नहीं थी। उसने अपनी बनाई हुई तकनीकी मशीन को चलाने के लिए एक जटिल सामाजिक मशीन का निर्माण किया है। जितनी शक्तिशाली और विशाल ताकतों को वह खुली छूट देता है, एक इंसान के रूप में वह खुद को उतना ही असहाय महसूस करता है। अब वह अपनी ही रचनाओं का गुलाम बन चुका है और खुद पर से अपना मालिकाना हक खो बैठा है।

Alienation as we find it in modern society is almost total… Man has created a world of man-made things as it never existed before. He has constructed a complicated social machine to administer the technical machine he built. The more powerful and gigantic the forces are which he unleashes, the more powerless he feels himself as a human being. He is owned by his creations, and has lost ownership of himself.

आज का मनुष्य अधिक, बेहतर और खासतौर पर नई चीजें खरीदने की चाह में उलझा हुआ है। वह उपभोग की भूख से ग्रस्त है... बाज़ार में आया कोई नया गैजेट या किसी भी चीज़ का नया मॉडल खरीदना हर किसी का सपना बन गया है, जिसके मुकाबले उस चीज़ को असल में इस्तेमाल करने का आनंद पीछे छूट गया है। आज का मनुष्य अगर स्वर्ग के अपने इस विचार को खुलकर बयां कर सके, तो वह उसकी एक ऐसी तस्वीर खींचेगा जो दुनिया के सबसे बड़े डिपार्टमेंटल स्टोर जैसी दिखाई देगी।

Man today is fascinated by the possibility of buying, more, better, and especially, new things. He is consumption hungry... To buy the latest gadget, the latest model of anything that is on the market, is the dream of everybody, in comparison to which the real pleasure in use is quite secondary. Modern man, if the dared to be articulate about his concept of heaven, would describe a vision which would look like the biggest department store in the world.

खुशी का मतलब यह नहीं कि जीवन में दुख के लिए कोई जगह न हो—यदि कोई व्यक्ति जीवन के प्रति संवेदनशील है, तो वह कभी खुश होता है और कभी दुखी। मायने यह रखता है कि वह जीवन को महसूस करता है।

यह बेहद जरूरी है कि अनुशासन को किसी बाहरी नियम की तरह जबरन खुद पर न थोपा जाए, बल्कि यह हमारी अपनी इच्छा का स्वाभाविक रूप होना चाहिए; इसे एक सुखद अनुभव के रूप में महसूस किया जाना चाहिए, और हमें धीरे-धीरे ऐसे व्यवहार की आदत डाल लेनी चाहिए कि यदि हम उसे करना बंद कर दें, तो हमें उसकी कमी खलने लगे।

It is essential... that discipline should not be practised like a rule imposed on oneself from the outside, but that it becomes an expression of one's own will; that it is felt as pleasant, and that one slowly accustoms oneself to a kind of behaviour which one would eventually miss, if one stopped practising it.

जो व्यक्ति अपनी स्वतंत्र पहचान को त्याग कर एक यंत्रमानव (ऑटोमेटन) बन जाता है और अपने आस-पास के लाखों अन्य यंत्रमानवों जैसा ही हो जाता है, उसे अब अकेलापन या घबराहट महसूस करने की ज़रूरत नहीं रहती। लेकिन इसकी उसे भारी कीमत चुकानी पड़ती है—वह अपनी खुद की पहचान खो बैठता है।

तीसरी भूल, जिसके कारण लोग यह मान लेते हैं कि प्यार के बारे में सीखने जैसी कोई चीज़ नहीं है, वह है 'प्यार में पड़ने' के शुरुआती अनुभव और 'प्यार में बने रहने' यानी प्रेम की स्थायी अवस्था के बीच का अंतर न समझ पाना।

The third error leading to the assumption that there is nothing to be learned about love lies in the confusion between the initial experience of ‘falling’ in love, and the permanent state of being in love, or as we might better say, of ‘standing’ in love.

व्यक्ति का पूरा जीवन खुद को जन्म देने की प्रक्रिया के सिवा और कुछ नहीं है; वास्तव में, जिस समय हमारी मृत्यु हो, उस समय तक हमारा पूरी तरह से जन्म हो चुका होना चाहिए।

जिस समाज के मूल सिद्धांत ही चीजों को हासिल करना, मुनाफा कमाना और संपत्ति जुटाना हों, वह एक ऐसे सामाजिक स्वभाव को जन्म देता है जो सिर्फ 'पास होने' (मटीरियलिस्टिक) के इर्द-गिर्द घूमता है। एक बार जब यह मुख्य चलन स्थापित हो जाता है, तो कोई भी व्यक्ति समाज से अलग-थलग या बहिष्कृत नहीं दिखना चाहता; इस जोखिम से बचने के लिए हर कोई उस बहुमत के रंग में रंग जाता है जिनकी एकमात्र समानता उनकी आपसी शत्रुता होती है।

कल्याण (या आत्मानुभूति) तभी संभव है जब व्यक्ति अपने अहंकार से ऊपर उठ चुका हो; जब वह खुला, संवेदनशील, जागरूक और भीतर से खाली हो... कल्याण का अंतिम अर्थ है—अपने अहंकार का त्याग करना, लालच छोड़ना, अहंकार को बचाने और बढ़ाने की अंधी दौड़ बंद करना, और चीज़ों को पाने, संचित करने या उपयोग करने में नहीं बल्कि बस 'होने' के अहसास में जीना और खुद को अनुभव करना।

देने की भावना के अलावा, प्रेम की सक्रिय विशेषता इस बात से स्पष्ट होती है कि इसमें हमेशा कुछ ऐसे बुनियादी तत्व शामिल होते हैं जो प्रेम के सभी रूपों में समान होते हैं। वे हैं—परवाह, जिम्मेदारी, सम्मान और समझ।

We do not choose our problems, we do not choose our products; we are pushed, we are forced -- by what? By a system which has no purpose and goal transcending it, and which makes man its appendix.

sachcha pyaar ek jodi mauzon (socks) ki tarah hota hai: dono hone chahiye aur dono aapas mein milne bhi chahiye.

True love is like a pair of socks: you gotta have two and they've gotta match.

मौत कभी भी अच्छी नहीं होती, फिर चाहे वह सर्वोच्च आदर्श के लिए ही क्यों न सहनी पड़ी हो।

Death is never sweet, not even if it is suffered for the highest ideal.

Death is never sweet, not even if it is suffered for the highest ideal.

parwah aur zimmedari pyaar ke zaroori hisse hain, par samne wale ke prati sammaan aur uski samajh ke bina, pyaar sirf dabav aur kabza karne ki bhavna ban kar reh jata hai.

Care and responsibility are constituent elements of love, but without respect for and knowledge of the beloved person, love deteriorates into domination and possessiveness.

यदि मैं किसी से इसलिए जुड़ा हूँ क्योंकि मैं अपने पैरों पर खड़ा नहीं हो सकता, तो वह इंसान भले ही मेरी जान बचाने वाला साबित हो जाए, लेकिन उस रिश्ते को प्रेम नहीं कहा जा सकता।

If I am attached to another person because I cannot stand on my own two feet, he or she may be a life saver, but the relationship is not one of love.

If I am attached to another person because I cannot stand on my own two feet, he or she may be a life saver, but the relationship is not one of love.

zindagi ka har woh roop jo jeevan ka anadar karta hai, jo iski upeksha karta hai, jo iske prati udaseen rehta hai ya ise barbad karta hai, woh maut ke pyaar ki taraf ek kadam hai. yeh chunav insaan ko har pal karna padta hai. galat chunav ke nateeje aaj jaise poore aur na badle ja sake wale kabhi nahi the. baibil ki chetaavani aaj jitni zaroori hai, pehle kabhi nahi thi: 'maine tumhare samne jeevan aur maut, aashirwaad aur shapath rakh di hai. jeevan chuno, taaki tum aur tumhare bachche jee sako.'

Every act of irreverence for life, every act which neglects life, which is indifferent to and wastes life, is a step towards the love of death. This choice man must make at every minute. Never were the consequences of the wrong choice as total and as irreversible as they are today. Never was the warning of the Bible so urgent: 'I have put before you life and death, blessing and curse. Choose life, that you and your children may live.'

सत्ता या अधिकार कोई ऐसी चीज नहीं है जो किसी व्यक्ति के पास 'हो', ठीक वैसे जैसे उसके पास कोई संपत्ति या शारीरिक गुण हों। अधिकार एक ऐसा आपसी रिश्ता है जिसमें एक इंसान दूसरे को अपने से श्रेष्ठ समझता है।

Authority is not a quality one person 'has,' in the sense that he has property or physical qualities. Authority refers to an interpersonal relation in which one person looks upon another as somebody superior to him.

किसी को समझने का मतलब उसे सही ठहराना नहीं है; इसका केवल इतना अर्थ है कि आप भगवान या किसी सर्वोच्च न्यायधीश की तरह उस पर दोष नहीं मढ़ रहे हैं।

Understanding a person does not mean condoning; it only means that one does not accuse him as if one were God or a judge placed above him.

माँ का प्यार हमेशा शांति देता है क्योंकि न तो इसे हासिल करना पड़ता है और न ही इसके लिए किसी योग्यता की जरूरत होती है।

Mother's love always peace as it not to be acquired nor deserved.

यदि हम अपने साथी मनुष्यों से प्रेम करते हैं, तो हम अपनी समझ और अपने प्रेम को केवल कुछ व्यक्तियों तक ही सीमित नहीं रख सकते...हमें राजनीतिक लोग बनना होगा, मैं तो कहूँगा कि पूरी तरह से जुनून के साथ राजनीतिक रूप से जुड़े हुए लोग, जिनमें से हर एक अपने स्वभाव, अपनी कार्यशैली और अपनी क्षमताओं के अनुसार सबसे बेहतर तरीका चुने।

If we love our fellow humans, we cannot limit our insight and our love only to others as individuals...We have to be political people, I would even say passionately involved political people, each of us in the way that best suits our own temperaments, our working lives, and our own capabilities.

मुझे लगता है कि आज के दौर में ज्यादातर लोगों के लिए खुशी का मतलब एक ऐसे eterno (सनातन) शिशु की तरह है जो बस चूसता रहता है: इसे, उसे या किसी और चीज को गटकते जाना।

Happiness today, I think, is for most people the satisfaction of the eternal suckling: to drink in more this, that, or the other.

कुछ देना हमारी आंतरिक शक्ति का सबसे बड़ा प्रमाण है।

Giving is the highest expression of potency.

खुशी वह होनी चाहिए जो सृजनात्मक, सच्ची और गहरी जुड़ाव से पैदा हो—यानी जीवन की हर चीज़ के प्रति सजगता और संवेदनशीलता—चाहे वह इंसान हो या प्रकृति।

Happiness should be something which results from the creative, genuine, intense relatedness - awareness, responsiveness, to everything in life - to man, to nature.

मेरा मानना है कि प्रेम ही मनुष्य के "विकास" के द्वार खोलने की मुख्य कुंजी है। प्रेम और अपने से बाहर किसी व्यक्ति या वस्तु के साथ एक हो जाना, ऐसा मिलन जो व्यक्ति को दूसरों के साथ संबंध स्थापित करने की अनुमति देता है, अपनी अखंडता और स्वतंत्रता को सीमित किए बिना दूसरों के साथ एक होने का अनुभव कराता है। प्रेम जीने का एक ऐसा सकारात्मक तरीका है जिसके लिए एक ही समय में ये बातें होना बहुत जरूरी है: परवाह, ज़िम्मेदारी, सम्मान और उस व्यक्ति या वस्तु की समझ जिसके साथ आप जुड़े हैं।

I believe that love is the main key to open the doors to the "growth" of man. Love and union with someone or something outside of oneself, union that allows one to put oneself into relationship with others, to feel one with others, without limiting the sense of integrity and independence. Love is a productive orientation for which it is essential that there be present at the same time: concern, responsibility, and respect for and knowledge of the object of the union.

इंसान के भीतर का अस्तित्वगत बिखराव तब तक असहनीय बना रहेगा जब तक कि वह अपने अंदर और बाहर की प्राकृतिक व इंसानी दुनिया के साथ एकता की भावना स्थापित न कर ले।

The existential split in man would be unbearable could he not establish a sense of unity within himself and with the natural and human world outside.

शिक्षा ऐसे यंत्र बनाती है जो इंसानों की तरह काम करते हैं और ऐसे इंसान पैदा करती है जो यंत्रों की तरह काम करते हैं।

कामुक प्रेम अलगाव से शुरू होता है और एकात्मकता पर खत्म होता है। माँ का प्यार एकात्मकता से शुरू होता है और अलगाव की ओर ले जाता है।

Erotic love begins with separateness, and ends in oneness. Motherly love begins with oneness, and leads to separateness.

आधुनिक पूंजीवाद को ऐसे लोगों की ज़रूरत है जो बड़ी संख्या में और आसानी से मिलकर काम कर सकें; जो ज़्यादा से ज़्यादा उपभोग करना चाहते हों; और जिनके स्वाद एक जैसे हों जिन्हें आसानी से प्रभावित और अनुमानित किया जा सके... इसका परिणाम क्या है? आधुनिक इंसान खुद से, अपने साथी इंसानों से और प्रकृति से कट गया है।

Modern capitalism needs men who cooperate smoothly and in large numbers; who want to consume more and more; and whose tastes are standardized and can be easily influenced and anticipated ... what is the outcome? Modern man is alienated from himself, from his fellow man and from nature.

आखिरकार बात यहीं आकर रुकती है: नींद की स्थिति का दोहरा काम होता है; नींद में संस्कृति से संपर्क टूट जाने के कारण हमारे भीतर की सबसे बुरी और सबसे अच्छी—दोनों तरह की बातें बाहर आ जाती हैं।

Finally one arrives at this: the state of sleep has an ambiguous function; in sleep, the lack of contact with the culture brings out the worst and also the best in us.

देना, पाने से ज़्यादा खुशी देता है, इसलिए नहीं कि यह कोई त्याग है, बल्कि इसलिए कि देने की क्रिया में ही मेरे जीवित होने का अहसास छिपा है।

Giving is more joyous than receiving, not because it is a deprivation, but because in the act of giving lies the expression of my aliveness.

मनोविश्लेषण, जो इंसान को एक सामाजिक प्राणी के रूप में देखता है और मानसिक ताने-बाने को मुख्य रूप से समाज के साथ व्यक्ति के रिश्तों से उपजा और तय हुआ मानता है, अपना यह कर्तव्य समझता है कि वह समाजशास्त्रीय समस्याओं की जांच-पड़ताल में हिस्सा ले—खासकर तब जब इंसानी वजूद या उसका मन इसमें किसी भी तरह की भूमिका निभाता हो।

Psychoanalysis , which interprets the human being as a socialized being, and the psychic apparatus as essentially developed and determined through the relationship of the individual to society, must consider it a duty to participate in the investigation of sociological problems to the extent the human being or his/her psyche plays any part at all.

मानव इतिहास की शुरुआत एक अवज्ञा (विद्रोह) के रूप में हुई थी, और इस बात की पूरी संभावना है कि इसका अंत किसी आज्ञापालन से हो। इतिहास के इस मोड़ पर, संदेह करने, आलोचना करने और अवज्ञा करने की क्षमता ही शायद वह एकमात्र चीज़ है जो मानव जाति के भविष्य और सभ्यता के अंत के बीच खड़ी है।

Human history began as an act of disobedience, and it is not unlikely that it will be terminated by an act of obedience. At this point in history the capacity to doubt, to criticize and to disobey may be all that stands between a future for mankind and the end of civilization.

विज्ञान की नई शाखा ने तकनीकी कल्पनाओं—मिसाल के तौर पर उड़ने की ख्‍वाहिश—को सच कर दिखाया है। इंसानी कल्पना... यानी एक ऐसा एकजुट नया समाज जो आपसी भाईचारे और शांति से रहता हो, आर्थिक गुलामी, युद्ध और वर्ग संघर्ष से आजाद हो—वह भी हासिल किया जा सकता है, बशर्ते हम अपनी तकनीकी कल्पनाओं को सच करने में जितनी ऊर्जा, बुद्धिमत्ता और उत्साह लगाते हैं, उतनी ही ताकत इस इंसानी सपने को साकार करने में भी लगाएं।

Technical Utopias-flying, for example-have been achieved by the new science of nature.The human utopia...a united new humankind living in solidarity and peace, free from economic determination and from war and class struggle-can be achieved, provided we spend the same energy, intelligence, and enthusiasm on the realization of the human Utopia as we have spent on the realization of our technical Utopias.

ठीक जैसे किसी एक व्यक्ति से प्रेम करना, जिसमें दूसरों के लिए प्रेम शामिल न हो, प्रेम नहीं है; वैसे ही अपने देश से ऐसा प्रेम जो मानवता के प्रति प्रेम का हिस्सा न हो, प्रेम नहीं बल्कि बुतपरस्ती है।

Just as love for one individual which excludes the love for others is not love, love for one's country which is not part of one's love for humanity is not love, but idolatrous worship.

हमारी संस्कृति में ज्यादातर लोग किसी को 'प्यारा' या चाहने योग्य मानने का मतलब बस यही समझते हैं कि वह इंसान लोकप्रिय हो और उसमें सेक्स अपील हो।

What most people in our culture mean by being lovable is essentially a mixture between being popular and having sex appeal.

प्रेम दूसरे व्यक्ति में सक्रिय रूप से उतर जाने का नाम है, जहाँ एक-दूसरे में विलीन होने से जानने की मेरी चाहत शांत हो जाती है। इस मिलन की घड़ी में मैं तुम्हें भी जानता हूँ, खुद को भी जानता हूँ, हर किसी को जानता हूँ—और सच पूछिए तो मैं कुछ भी नहीं "जानता"।

Love is active penetration of the other person, in which my desire to know is stilled by union. In the act of fusion I know you, I know myself, I know everybody - and I "know" nothing.

समाज और उसके मनो-सामाजिक एजेंट के रूप में परिवार के सामने एक कठिन समस्या है: किसी व्यक्ति की इच्छा को बिना उसे एहसास कराए कैसे तोड़ा जाए? फिर भी शिक्षा, पुरस्कार, दंड और अनुकूल विचारधारा की एक जटिल प्रक्रिया के माध्यम से, यह इस काम को इतने अच्छे HSe से पूरा करता है कि ज़्यादा यही मानते हैं कि वे अपनी इच्छा से चल रहे हैं और उन्हें इस बात का आभास तक नहीं होता कि उनकी इच्छा को पहले से ही नियंत्रित और ढाला जा चुका है।

Society, and the family as its psycho social agent, has to solve a difficult problem: How to break a person's will without his being aware of it? Yet by a complicated process of indoctrination, rewards, punishments, and fitting ideology, it solves this task by and large so well that most people believe they are following their own will and are unaware that their will itself is conditioned and manipulated.

आधुनिक मनुष्य, यदि वह अपने स्वर्ग के सपने को खुलकर बयां करने की हिम्मत जुटाए, तो वह एक ऐसे दृश्य का वर्णन करेगा जो दुनिया के सबसे बड़े डिपार्टमेंटल स्टोर जैसा दिखेगा, जहाँ नई-नई चीजें और गैजेट्स सजे हों, और उसके पास उन्हें खरीदने के लिए ढेर सारा पैसा हो।

Modern man, if he dared to be articulate about his concept of heaven, would describe a vision which would look like the biggest department store in the world, showing new things and gadgets, and himself having plenty of money with which to buy them.

हम संपत्ति, रुतबे, शक्ति, कब्ज़े, उत्पादन, मौज-मस्ती और आखिरकार यह भूलने की कोशिश करके अस्तित्व के सवाल से बचने की कोशिश करते हैं कि हम—यानी मैं—मौजूद हूँ। इंसान चाहे जितना भगवान के बारे में सोचे या चर्च जाए, या धार्मिक विचारों में कितना भी विश्वास क्यों न रखे, अगर वह—पूरा इंसान—अस्तित्व के सवाल के प्रति बहरा है, अगर उसके पास इसका कोई जवाब नहीं है, तो वह बस समय काट रहा है, और वह उन लाखों चीज़ों की तरह जीता और मरता है जिन्हें वह पैदा करता है। वह भगवान का अनुभव करने के बजाय उनके बारे में सोचता है।

We try to evade the question of existence with property, prestige, power, possession, production, fun, and, ultimately, by trying to forget that we- that I- exist. No matter how much he thinks of God or goes to church, or how much he believes in religious ideas , if he, the whole man, is deaf to the question of existence, if he does not have an answer to it, he is marking time, and he lives and dies like one of the million things he produces. He thinks of God, instead of experiencing God.

इस पल किया जाने वाला काम ही इकलौती ऐसी चीज होनी चाहिए जो मायने रखे, जिसमें पूरी तरह झोंक दिया जाए। यदि आप एकाग्र हैं, तो इससे ज्यादा फर्क नहीं पड़ता कि आप क्या कर रहे हैं। महत्वपूर्ण और गैर-महत्वपूर्ण, दोनों तरह की चीजें वास्तविकता का एक नया आयाम ले लेती हैं, क्योंकि उनमें आपका पूरा ध्यान लगा होता है।

The activity at this very moment must be the only thing that matters, to which one is fully given. If one is concentrated, it matters little what one is doing. The important, as well as the unimportant things, assume a new dimension of reality, because they have one's full attention.

ज़्यादातर लोग प्रेम की समस्या को प्यार करने के बजाय मुख्य रूप से प्यार पाने के रूप में देखते हैं, यानी यह कि अपनी प्यार करने की क्षमता को बढ़ाने के बजाय कैसे प्यार पाया जाए और कैसे खुद को प्यार के काबिल बनाया जाए।

Most people see the problem of love primarily as that of being loved, rather than that of loving, of one's capacity to love. Hence the problem to them is how to be loved, how to be lovable.

बच्चे के प्रति माता-पिता का रवैया बच्चे की अपनी ज़रूरतों के अनुरूप होता है... माँ का काम जीवन में उसे सुरक्षा देना है, जबकि पिता का काम उसे सिखाना और मार्गदर्शन देना है ताकि वह उस समाज की समस्याओं से जूझ सके जिसमें उसने जन्म लिया है।

शिक्षा का सीधा मतलब बच्चे को उसकी क्षमताओं को पहचानने में मदद करना है। शिक्षा का ठीक उल्टा है उसे अपनी उंगलियों पर नचाना (मैनिपुलेशन), जो बच्चे की क्षमताओं के विकास में अविश्वास पर आधारित होता है और इस सोच पर टिका होता है कि बच्चा तभी सही राह पर चलेगा जब बड़े लोग उसमें वह सब भरेंगे जो वांछनीय है और ऐसा सब दबा देंगे जो अवांछनीय लगता है।

Education is identical with helping the child realize his potentialities. The opposite of education is manipulation, which is based on the absence of faith in the growth of potentialities and the connection that a child will be right only if the adults put into him what is desirable and suppress what seems to be undesirable.

स्वभाव और चरित्र के बीच की उलझन ने नैतिक सिद्धांतों के लिए गंभीर परिणाम पैदा किए हैं। स्वभाव की भिन्नताओं को लेकर पसंद महज़ आत्मनिष्ठ स्वाद की बात होती है, लेकिन चरित्र के अंतर नैतिक रूप से अत्यंत बुनियादी और महत्वपूर्ण होते हैं।

The confusion between temperament and character has had serious consequences for ethical theory. Preferences with regard to differences in temperament are mere matters of subjective taste. But differences in character are ethically of the most fundamental importance.

...प्रेम की इस गहरी लालसा के बावजूद, लगभग हर दूसरी चीज़ को प्रेम से ज़्यादा महत्वपूर्ण माना जाता है: सफलता, रुतबा, पैसा, शक्ति—हमारी लगभग सारी ऊर्जा इन लक्ष्यों को हासिल करना सीखने में लग जाती है, और प्रेम की कला सीखने में लगभग शून्य। क्या ऐसा हो सकता है कि केवल उन चीज़ों को सीखने लायक माना जाता है जिनसे पैसा या रुतबा कमाया जा सके, और प्रेम, जो आत्मा को "केवल" समृद्ध करता है, लेकिन आधुनिक अर्थों में जिसका कोई भौतिक लाभ नहीं है, एक ऐसा विलासिता है जिस पर ऊर्जा खर्च करने का हमें कोई अधिकार नहीं है?

...in spite of the deep-seated craving for love, almost everything else is considered to be more important than love: success, prestige, money, power-almost all our energy is used for the learning of how to achieve these aims, and almost none to learn the art of loving. Could it be that only those things are considered worthy of being learned with which one can earn money or prestige, and that love, which "only" profits the soul, but is profitless in the modern sense, is a luxury we have no right to spend energy on?

बोरियत और कुछ नहीं बल्कि हमारी उत्पादक शक्तियों के शिथिल पड़ने और जीवनहीनता के अहसास का अनुभव है। जीवन की बुराइयों में, बहुत कम ऐसी हैं जो बोरियत जितनी पीड़ादायक हों, और इसलिए इससे बचने के लिए हर संभव प्रयास किया जाता है।

Boredom is nothing but the experience of a paralysis of our productive powers and the sense of unaliveness. Among the evils of life, there are few which are as painful as boredom, and consequently every attempt is made to avoid it.

आज यह जीवंत नहीं है। तो फिर, मानवतावाद का यह अनुभव क्या है? उपर्युक्त सर्वेक्षण के माध्यम से मैंने आपको यह दिखाने का प्रयास किया है कि मानवतावाद का अनुभव यह है कि—जैसा कि टेरेंस ने कहा था—"मानव से जुड़ा कुछ भी मेरे लिए अजनबी नहीं है"; कि जो कुछ भी किसी भी इंसान में मौजूद है, वह मुझमें भी मौजूद है। मैं ही अपराधी हूँ और मैं ही संत। मैं ही बच्चा हूँ और मैं ही वयस्क। मैं ही वह इंसान हूँ जो एक लाख साल पहले रहता था और मैं ही वह इंसान हूँ, बशर्ते हम मानव जाति को नष्ट न करें, जो आज से एक लाख साल बाद जीवित रहेगा।

Today it is not alive. What, then, is this experience of humanism? With the above survey I have tried to show you that the experience of humanism is that — as Terence expressed it — “Nothing human is alien to me”; that nothing which exists in any human being does not exist in myself. I am the criminal and I am the saint. I am the child and I am the adult. I am the man who lived a hundred thousand years ago and I am the man who, provided we don't destroy the human race, will live hundred thousand years from now.

एक रचनात्मक आनंद होता है, जो उदाहरण के लिए, मध्य युग के किसी कारीगर या मैक्सिको जैसे देश में आज भी किसी शिल्पकार के पास होता है—यानी कुछ नया रचने का आनंद। आपको ऐसे कई कुशल कारीगर मिल जाएंगे जिन्हें आज भी यह आनंद मिलता है: शायद किसी स्टील मिल में, या शायद कोई मज़ीन पर काम करने वाला मज़दूर—उन्हें यह अहसास होता है कि वे कुछ सृजन कर रहे हैं।

There is a creative pleasure, which, for instance, the artisan in the Middle Ages, or in a country like Mexico, still today has - namely the pleasure of creating something. You find quite a few skilled workers who still have that pleasure: maybe in a steel mill; maybe a worker who works with a complicated machine - he has a sense that he is creating something.

स्वतंत्रता किसी भी विकास के लिए सबसे बुनियादी शर्त है।

Freedom is the fundamental condition for any growth.

दूसरों के साथ जुड़ने का हमारा मुख्य तरीका वैसा ही है जैसे बाज़ार में वस्तुएं वस्तुओं से जुड़ती हैं। हम अपने व्यक्तित्व का—या जैसा कि कभी-कभी कहा जाता है, हमारे "पर्सनैलिटी पैकेज" का—किसी चीज़ के बदले विनिमय करना चाहते हैं।

Our main way of relating ourselves to others is like things relate themselves to things on the market. We want to exchange our own personality - or as one says sometimes, our "personality package" - for something.

इंसान केवल सामान ही नहीं बेचता, वह खुद को भी बेचता है और खुद को एक बिकाऊ वस्तु की तरह महसूस करता है।

Man does not only sell commodities, he sells himself and feels himself to be a commodity.

जिन्हें आप "सिंबल पुशर्स" कह सकते हैं—यानी वे सभी लोग जो आंकड़ों, कागज़ात और इंसानों के साथ काम करते हैं, जो हेरफेर करते हैं—एक बेहतर या सुंदर शब्द का इस्तेमाल करें तो—जो इंसानों, संकेतों और शब्दों के साथ फेरबदल करते हैं। आज इन सभी को न केवल अपनी सेवाएं बेचनी पड़ती हैं, बल्कि इसके सौदे में उन्हें कमोबेश अपना व्यक्तित्व भी बेचना पड़ता है। कुछ अपवाद भी हैं।

What you might call the "symbol pushers" - that is to say, all of the people who deal with figures, with paper, with men, who manipulate - to use a better or nicer word - manipulate men and signs and words. All those today have not only to sell their service, but in the bargain, they have to sell their personality, more or less. There are exceptions.

हालाँकि हर इंसान में प्रेम करने की क्षमता होती है, लेकिन इसे हकीकत में बदलना सबसे कठिन उपलब्धियों में से एक है।

While every human being has a capacity for love, its realization is one of the most difficult achievements.

मुझे लगता है कि स्पष्ट रूप से कहें तो हम तब रास्ते से भटक गए जब हमने चीज़ों के उत्पादन पर ज़्यादा से ज़्यादा ध्यान केंद्रित करना शुरू कर दिया। इस तरह, हमने बुद्धि और भावना के बीच एक विभाजन पैदा कर दिया, क्योंकि आधुनिक तकनीक पैदा करने के लिए आपको बुद्धि का इस्तेमाल करना पड़ता है, और हमने ऐसे इंसानों को गढ़ा है जो बहुत प्रबुद्ध और चतुर हैं, लेकिन हमारा भावनात्मक जीवन रीता हो गया है।

I think, to be specific, we got off the track when we concentrated more and more on production of things. Thereby, we created a split between intellect and emotion, because, in order to produce a modern technique, you have to use intellect, and we have created men who are very brilliant, who are very clever, but our emotional life has become impoverished.

मेरा सचमुच मानना है कि पिछली सदियों की मानवतावादी परंपरा को बचाना अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण है, और विक्टर सर्ज मानवतावाद के समाजवादी पहलू का प्रतिनिधित्व करने वाली सबसे उत्कृष्ट शख्सियतों में से एक हैं।

I believe indeed that to rescue the humanist tradition of the last decades is of the utmost importance, and that Victor Serge is one of the outstanding personalities representing the socialist aspect of humanism.

बोरियत और कुछ नहीं बल्कि हमारी रचनात्मक शक्तियों के सुस्त पड़ जाने का अनुभव है।

Boredom is nothing but the experience of a paralysis of our productive powers.

हमारे विचारों के दृष्टिकोण से, मानव का अब तक का इतिहास कोई बहुत शेखी बघारने लायक नहीं है—और मेरा मतलब यह है कि अधिकांश अन्य समाजों की तुलना में, हमारे आज के अमेरिकी समाज ने ऐसी चीज़ें हासिल की हैं जो उल्लेखनीय हैं: किसी भी अन्य राष्ट्र की तुलना में अधिक भौतिक समृद्धि; उत्पीड़न से एक प्रकार की आज़ादी; एक प्रकार की गतिशीलता; कला, संगीत और विचार का प्रसार, जो कि काफी अनोखा भी है।

The history of man so far is nothing to brag about, from the standpoint of our ideas - and what I mean is, that in comparison with most other societies, our present-day American society has achieved things which are remarkable: material wealth, greater than for any other nation; a relative freedom from oppression; a relative mobility; a spreading of art, of music, of thought, which is also rather unique.

सपने में, शोर से सुरक्षित, उस व्यक्ति ने जागने की अवस्था की तुलना में कहीं अधिक सटीक निर्णय व्यक्त किया।

औसत अमेरिकी ने अपने निजी जीवन को अपने समाज के एक सदस्य के रूप में अपने अस्तित्व से अलग कर लिया है, और इसे संभालने की ज़िम्मेदारी सरकार के विशेषज्ञों पर छोड़ दी है।

The average American has separated his private life from his existence as a member of his society, and leaves that to the specialists in the government to take care of.

स्वतंत्रता का अर्थ मनमानी नहीं है।

Freedom does not mean license.

. . . सृजन और निर्माण करने, आश्चर्य करने और जोखिम उठाने की आज़ादी। ऐसी आज़ादी के लिए यह ज़रूरी है कि व्यक्ति सक्रिय और ज़िम्मेदार हो, न कि कोई गुलाम या मशीन का पेट-भरा पुर्जा। . . इंसानों का गुलाम न होना ही काफी नहीं है; यदि सामाजिक स्थितियां यंत्रवत इंसानों के अस्तित्व को बढ़ावा देती हैं, तो इसका परिणाम जीवन के प्रति प्रेम नहीं, बल्कि मृत्यु के प्रति प्रेम होगा।

. . . freedom to creat and construct, to wonder and to venture. Such freedom requires that the individual be active and responsible, not a slave or a well-fed cog in the machine . . . It is not enough that men are not slaves; if social conditions further the existence of automatons, the result will not be love of life, but love of death.

प्रेम एक निर्णय है, यह एक विवेक है, यह एक वादा है। यदि प्रेम केवल एक भावना होती, तो एक-दूसरे से हमेशा प्रेम करने के वादे का कोई आधार नहीं होता। भावना आती है और जा सकती है। मैं यह कैसे तय कर सकता हूँ कि यह हमेशा के लिए रहेगी, जब तक कि मेरे उस निर्णय में समझदारी और पक्का इरादा शामिल न हो।

Love is a decision, it is a judgment, it is a promise. If love were only a feeling, there would be no basis for the promise to love each other forever. A feeling comes and it may go. How can I judge that it will stay forever, when my act does not involve judgment and decision.

प्रेम आसान नहीं है। सभी महान धर्म प्रेम को सबसे बड़ी उपलब्धियों में से एक मानते हैं। अगर यह इतना ही आसान होता, या उतना आसान होता जितना ज़्यादातर लोग सोचते हैं, तो निश्चित रूप से महान धार्मिक नेता काफी नासमझ रहे होते।

Love is not easy. All great religions postulate love as one of the greatest accomplishments. If it were that easy, or as easy as most people think, certainly, the great religious leaders would have been rather naive.

प्रेम अपने अस्तित्व और स्वायत्तता को बनाए रखते हुए, अपने से बाहर किसी व्यक्ति या चीज़ के साथ एक हो जाने का नाम है।

Love is union with somebody, or something, outside oneself, under the condition of retaining the separateness and integrity of one's own self.

आज मेरी एकमात्र चिंता यह है कि हमारे पास एक ऐसी नीति, एक ऐसी विदेश नीति होनी चाहिए, जो हमें किसी बड़ी तबाही से बचा सके; जिसे अगर ठीक से समझा जाए, तो उसका वर्णन नहीं किया जा सकता।

The only concern which I have today is that we have a policy, a foreign policy, which enables us to avoid a catastrophe; which, if one understands it properly, is indescribable.

कोई भी चीज़ इतनी अमानवीय, बुरी या तर्कहीन नहीं है जिससे कुछ सांत्वना न मिले, बशर्ते उसे किसी समूह द्वारा साझा किया गया हो।

ठीक जिस तरह आधुनिक जन-उत्पादन के लिए वस्तुओं का मानकीकरण ज़रूरी होता है, वैसे ही सामाजिक प्रक्रिया के लिए मनुष्य का मानकीकरण ज़रूरी होता है, और इसी मानकीकरण को समानता कहा जाता है।

Just as modern mass production requires the standardization of commodities, so the social process requires standardization of man, and this standardization is called equality.

ईर्ष्या, द्वेष, महत्वाकांक्षा और किसी भी तरह का लालच महज भावनाएं हैं; जबकि प्रेम एक कर्म है, मानवीय शक्ति का अभ्यास है, जो केवल आज़ादी में संभव है, किसी दबाव में नहीं। प्रेम कोई निष्क्रिय भावना नहीं, बल्कि एक सक्रिय प्रयास है; यह किसी पर "मोहित हो जाना" नहीं, बल्कि उसमें " रमे रहना" है। सीधे शब्दों में कहें तो, प्रेम का सक्रिय रूप यह है कि इसमें पाना नहीं, बल्कि मुख्य रूप से देना शामिल है।

Envy, jealousy, ambition, any kind of greed are passions; love is an action, the practice of human power, which can be practiced only in freedom and never as a result of compulsion. Love is an activity, not a passive affect; it is a "standing in," not a "falling for." In the most general way, the active character of love can be described by stating that love is primarily giving, not receiving.

हमारी जीवन-शक्ति, और हर राष्ट्र की जीवन-शक्ति, उन विचारों में विश्वास की ईमानदारी और गहराई पर टिकी होती है जिनकी वह घोषणा करता है या जिन्हें वह प्रतिपादित करता है।

कोई ऐसा अपेक्षाकृत आदिम गाँव जहाँ आज भी सच्चे उत्सव मनाए जाते हैं, कलात्मक अभिव्यक्तियाँ साझा की जाती हैं और जहाँक्षरज्ञान बिल्कुल नहीं है, वह हमारी इस पढ़ी-लिखी, अख़बार पढ़ने और रेडियो सुनने वाली संस्कृति से कहीं अधिक सांस्कृतिक रूप से उन्नत और मानसिक रूप से स्वस्थ है।

यह सच है कि इंसान को पहले सोचना चाहिए और फिर काम करना चाहिए—लेकिन यह भी सच है कि यदि आपके पास काम करने की कोई संभावना न हो, तो आपकी सोच एक तरह से खाली और मूर्खतापूर्ण हो जाती है।

It is true that one has to think first and then to act - but it's also true that if one has no possibility of acting, one's thinking kind of becomes empty and stupid.

बीमार व्यक्ति खुद को ऐसे ही अन्य बीमार लोगों के बीच पाकर सहज महसूस करता है। हमारी पूरी संस्कृति ही इस प्रकार की मानसिक विकृति के इर्द-गिर्द घूमती है।

लालच का कोई अंत नहीं है, क्योंकि यह उस भीतरी खालीपन, बोरियत, अकेलेपन और निराशा को नहीं भर पाता, जिसे मिटाने के लिए यह किया जाता है।

केवल तभी जब मनुष्य अपनी तर्कबुद्धि और प्रेम को अब तक के मुकाबले और अधिक विकसित करने में सफल होता है, केवल तभी जब वह मानव एकजुटता और न्याय पर आधारित दुनिया का निर्माण कर सकता है, केवल तभी जब वह सार्वभौमिक भाईचारे के अनुभव में खुद को जड़ें जमा हुआ महसूस कर सकता है, तब जाकर उसका...

आशावाद विश्वास का एक पराया रूप है, निराशावाद निराशा का एक पराया रूप है। यदि कोई व्यक्ति मनुष्य और उसके भविष्य के प्रति सच्ची प्रतिक्रिया देता है, यानी चिंता और "ज़िम्मेदारी" के साथ, तो वह केवल विश्वास या निराशा के माध्यम से ही प्रतिक्रिया दे सकता है। तर्कसंगत विश्वास के साथ-साथ तर्कसंगत निराशा दोनों ही उन सभी कारकों के सबसे गहन और आलोचनात्मक ज्ञान पर आधारित होते हैं जो मनुष्य के अस्तित्व के लिए प्रासंगिक हैं।

Optimism is an alienated form of faith, pessimism an alienated form of despair. If one truly responds to man and his future, ie , concernedly and "responsibly." one can respond only by faith or by despair. Rational faith as well as rational despair are based on the most thorough, critical knowledge of all the factors that are relevant for the survival of man.

मानसिक पीड़ा के सबसे बुरे रूपों में से एक है बोरियत—यह न समझ पाना कि खुद के साथ और अपनी ज़िंदगी के साथ क्या किया जाए। यदि मनुष्य को कोई आर्थिक या अन्य पुरस्कार न भी मिले, तब भी वह अपनी ऊर्जा किसी सार्थक काम में लगाना चाहेगा क्योंकि निष्क्रियता से पैदा होने वाली बोरियत को वह बर्दाश्त नहीं कर सकता।

One of the worst forms of mental suffering is boredom, not knowing what to do with oneself and one's life. Even if man had no monetary, or any other reward, he would be eager to spend his energy in some meaningful way because he could not stand the boredom which inactivity produces.

धार्मिक विश्वास और उससे जुड़े मानवतावादी मूल्यों को खोकर, उसने (मनुष्य) तकनीकी और भौतिक मूल्यों पर ध्यान केंद्रित किया और गहरी भावनात्मक अनुभूतियों, तथा उनके साथ आने वाले सुख और दुःख को महसूस करने की क्षमता खो दी।

समाज को केवल बच्चों की शिक्षा की ही जिम्मेदारी क्यों उठानी चाहिए, हर उम्र के वयस्कों की शिक्षा की क्यों नहीं?

Why should society feel responsible only for the education of children, and not for the education of all adults of every age?

मानसिक स्वास्थ्य का पैमाना किसी दी गई सामाजिक व्यवस्था के साथ व्यक्ति का तालमेल बिठाना नहीं है, बल्कि एक सार्वभौमिक पैमाना है जो सभी इंसानों के लिए मान्य हो—यानी मानवीय अस्तित्व की समस्या का संतोषजनक जवाब देना।

वास्तव में, यदि आप औसत अमेरिकी को लें, और अध्ययनों ने यह दिखाया भी है, तो वह वास्तव में केवल निजी मामलों से ही सरोकार रखता है; यानी, अपने स्वास्थ्य, अपने पैसे और परिवार के मामलों से।

विचार तभी शक्तिशाली बनते हैं जब वे ज़मीन पर उतरते हैं; जो विचार किसी व्यक्ति या समूह को कर्म के रास्ते पर नहीं ले जाता, वह किताब में ज़्यादा से ज़्यादा एक अनुच्छेद या पाद-टिप्पणी बनकर रह जाता है।

Ideas become powerful only if they appear in the flesh; an idea which does not lead to action by the individual and by groups remains at best a paragraph or a footnote in a book.

यदि मैं दूसरे व्यक्ति से प्रेम करता हूँ, तो मैं उसके साथ एक होने का अनुभव करता हूँ—लेकिन वह जैसा है वैसा ही, न कि जैसा मैं उसे अपने इस्तेमाल की वस्तु के रूप में देखना चाहता हूँ। इस प्रकार, सम्मान का अर्थ है शोषण से मुक्ति: यह दूसरे को वैसे ही रहने, बदलने और 'अपने तरीके से विकसित होने' की आज़ादी देता है। इसके लिए यह संकल्प ज़रूरी है कि हम दूसरे को सिर्फ अपने अहंकार के प्रतिबिंब के रूप में नहीं, बल्कि एक स्वतंत्र अस्तित्व के रूप में जानें। वेलेमैन के अनुसार, दूसरे को उसके असली रूप में देखने की यह प्रेमपूर्ण इच्छा और क्षमता, खुद को जोखिम में डालने की हमारी तत्परता पर टिकी होती है।

If I love the other person, I feel one with him or her, but with him as he is, not as I need him to be as an object for my use. Respect thus implies the absence of exploitation: it allows the other to be, to change and to develop 'in his own ways.' This requires a commitment to know the other as a separate being, and not merely as a reflection of my own ego. According to Velleman this loving willingness and ability to see the other as they really are is foregrounded in our willingness to risk self-exposure.

हम कुख्यात रूप से दुखी लोगों का समाज हैं: अकेले, चिंतित, अवसादग्रस्त, विध्वंसक और परजीवी—ऐसे लोग जो उस समय को मारने पर भी खुश होते हैं जिसे बचाने के लिए वे इतनी मशक्कत कर रहे होते हैं।

We are a society of notoriously unhappy people: lonely, anxious, depressed, destructive, dependent - people who are glad when we have killed the time we are trying so hard to save.

आज का इंसान उत्पादन और उपभोग को ही जीवन का एकमात्र उद्देश्य मान बैठा है, इसलिए उसके पास सच्चे आध्यात्मिक अनुभव के लिए न तो ज़्यादा ऊर्जा बची है और न ही समय।

किसी अन्य व्यक्ति (या किसी अन्य जीवित प्राणी) पर पूर्ण नियंत्रण पाने का आनंद ही साडिज्म (पीडन-आनंद) की मूल भावना है। इसी बात को दूसरे तरीके से कहें तो, साडिज्म का उद्देश्य मनुष्य को एक वस्तु में बदलना है, किसी सजीव चीज़ को निर्जीव बनाना है, क्योंकि पूर्ण और绝对 नियंत्रण के माध्यम से जीवित प्राणी जीवन का एक अनिवार्य गुण—स्वतंत्रता—खो देता है।

The pleasure in complete domination over another person (or other animate creature) is the very essence of the sadistic drive. Another way of formulating the same thought is to say that the aim of sadism is to transform man into a thing, something animate into something inanimate, since by complete and absolute control the living loses one essential quality of life - freedom.

अकेलेपन का अहसास बेचैनी पैदा करता है; वास्तव में, यही सारी बेचैनी की जड़ है।

The experience of separateness arouses anxiety; it is, indeed, the source of all anxiety.

कार्ल गुस्ताव जुंग का यह कहना सही नहीं था कि अचेतन मन का संदेश हमेशा साफ-साफ लिखा होता है और उसमें किसी फेरबदल या विकृति को खोजने की कोई ज़रूरत नहीं होती, क्योंकि यह मानना ही पड़ेगा कि कई सपने कम या ज्यादा रूप से विकृत होते ही हैं।

[Carl Gustav] Jung was not right when he said that the unconscious message is always written clearly and so there is no need to seek to discover the distortions, because one must recognize that many dreams are more or less distortions.

यदि अपने पड़ोसी को एक इंसान के रूप में प्यार करना एक खूबी है, तो खुद से प्यार करना भी एक खूबी होनी चाहिए—कोई बुराई नहीं—क्योंकि आखिरकार मैं भी तो एक इंसान हूँ।

If it is a virtue to love my neighbor as a human being, it must be a virtue - and not a vice - to love myself, since I am a human being too.

प्रकृति पर वर्चस्व जमाने और ज़्यादा से ज़्यादा भौतिक सुख-सुविधाएं जुटाने के हमारे पागलपन ने साधनों को ही साध्य (उद्देश्य) बना डाला है।

In our enthusiasm to dominate nature and to produce more material good - goods - we have transformed means into ends.

प्रमुख पश्चिमी धार्मिक प्रणाली में, ईश्वर से प्रेम मूल रूप से ईश्वर में, ईश्वर के अस्तित्व में, ईश्वर के न्याय और ईश्वर के प्रेम में विश्वास रखने के समान ही है। ईश्वर से प्रेम अनिवार्य रूप से एक वैचारिक अनुभव है। इसके विपरीत, पूर्वी धर्मों और रहस्यवाद में, ईश्वर से प्रेम एकजुटता का एक तीव्र भावनात्मक अनुभव है, जो जीवन के हर कार्य में इस प्रेम की अभिव्यक्ति के साथ अटूट रूप से जुड़ा हुआ है।

In the dominant Western religious system, the love of God is essentially the same as the belief in God, in God’s existence, God’s justice, God’s love. The love of God is essentially a thought experience. In the Eastern religions and in mysticism, the love of God is an intense feeling experience of oneness, inseparably linked with the expression of this love in every act of living.

मुझे लगता है कि हम रास्ता भटक गए हैं, ठीक वैसे ही जैसे कई समाज भटक जाते हैं जो किसी एक लक्ष्य के पीछे तो सफलतापूर्वक भागते हैं, पर यह देखने में असमर्थ होते हैं कि किस बिंदु पर वह लक्ष्य उन्हें किसी बड़े और व्यापक उद्देश्य से भटका रहा है। दूसरे शब्दों में, वे किसी बंद गली में जा फंसते हैं।

I think we got off the track, as many societies do, who follow successfully one aim, and yet are not capable of seeing at what point the pursuit of this aim prevents them from following a more total aim. That is to say, they get into a blind alley.

उम्मीद रखने का अर्थ है हर पल उस चीज़ के लिए तैयार रहना जो अभी पैदा नहीं हुई है, और फिर भी यदि हमारे जीवनकाल में उसका जन्म न हो, तो निराश न होना।

To hope means to be ready at every moment for that which is not yet born, and yet not become desperate if there is no birth in our lifetime.

हम एक ऐसे महाविनाशक युद्ध के मुहाने पर खड़े हैं जहाँ हमारे पूरे राष्ट्र और पूरी दुनिया का अस्तित्व दांव पर लगा है। फिर भी, लोग इसे जानते हैं—अखबारों में पढ़ते हैं कि पहले ही हमले में करोड़ों अमेरिकी मारे जा सकते हैं। और इसके बावजूद, वे इस तरह बात करते हैं मानो किसी कार के कार्बोरेटर में कोई मामूली खराबी आ गई हो।

We are confronted with the possibility of a war of such destruction that the whole existence of our nation and of the whole world is at stake. And yet, people know it - people read it in the newspapers, people read that at the first attack, a hundred million Americans might be killed. And yet, they talk about it as if they were talking about something being wrong with the carburetor of their car, perhaps.

रचनात्मकता की शर्तें हैं: असमंजस में पड़ना; एकाग्र होना; संघर्ष और तनाव को स्वीकार करना; हर दिन नए सिरे से जन्म लेना; और अपने होने का अहसास होना।

Conditions for creativity are to be puzzled; to concentrate; to accept conflict and tension; to be born everyday; to feel a sense of self.

इंसान केवल परम सत्य के न होने या निषेध को जान सकता है, उसकी सकारात्मक वास्तविकता को कभी नहीं।

Man can only know the nagation, never the position of ultimate reality.

Man can only know the nagation, never the position of ultimate reality.

प्रेम दूसरों और खुद के साथ जुड़ने का एक उत्पादक तरीका है। इसमें ज़िम्मेदारी, परवाह और सम्मान शामिल हैं। यदि यह उत्पादक और सम्मानजनक नहीं है, तो यह प्रेम नहीं है, बल्कि प्रेम का ढोंग करता हुआ डर है।

Love is the productive form of relatedness to others and to oneself. It implies responsibility, care, respect. If it isn't productive and respectful, it isn't love, but only fear masquerading as love.

कुल मिलाकर, हमारी आधुनिक अनुष्ठानिक परंपराएं कमज़ोर पड़ चुकी हैं और सामूहिक कला व अनुष्ठानों को लेकर इंसान की ज़रूरतों को पूरा करने में नाकाम हैं।

On the whole, our modern ritual is impoverished and does not fulfill man's need for collective art and ritual.

ईमानदारी का सीधा सा मतलब है अपनी पहचान से समझौता न करने की इच्छा, भले ही ऐसा करने के कितने भी रास्ते क्यों न हों।

Integrity simply means a willingness not to violate one's identity, in the many ways in which such violation is possible.

इस बात का कोई प्रमाण तो नहीं है कि खेल खेलने से आक्रामकता कम होती है, लेकिन साथ ही यह भी कहा जाना चाहिए कि इस बात का भी कोई सबूत नहीं है कि खेल आक्रामकता की प्रेरणा से ही खेले जाते हैं।

If there is no evidence that sport lowers aggression, at the same time it should be said that there is also no evidence that sport is motivated by aggression.

मुझे लगता है कि यदि आप लोगों से पूछें कि उनके स्वर्ग की कल्पना क्या है, तो ईमानदारी से जवाब देते हुए वे कहेंगे कि वह एक बड़ा डिपार्टमेंटल स्टोर है, जहाँ हर हफ्ते नई चीजें आती हैं—उन्हें खरीदने के लिए ढेर सारा पैसा हो, और शायद पड़ोसी से थोड़ा ज़्यादा पैसा हो।

I think if you ask people what their concept of heaven is, they would say, if they are honest, that it is a big department store, with new things every week - all the money to buy them, and maybe a little more than the neighbours.

मुझे लगता है कि आज के समय में लोग 'सुख' से जिस अर्थ को समझते हैं, वह अनियंत्रित और असीमित उपभोग का अनुभव है—वैसा ही जैसा मिस्टर हक्सले ने अपनी पुस्तक "ब्रेव न्यू वर्ल्ड" में बयां किया है।

I think if you ask what people really mean by happiness today, it is the experience of unlimited consumption - the kind of thing Mr. Huxley described in "Brave New World."

हमारी चेतन प्रेरणाएँ, विचार और मान्यताएँ झूठी जानकारियों, पूर्वाग्रहों, तर्कहीन भावनाओं और रूढ़ियों का एक मिला-जुला घालमेल हैं, जिसमें सच्चाई के छोटे-छोटे टुकड़े इधर-उधर तैरते रहते हैं और यह झूठा दिलासा देते हैं कि यह पूरा मिश्रण वास्तविक और सही है। हमारी सोच इन सभी भ्रमों के इस कचरे को संभावना के नियमों के अनुसार व्यवस्थित करने की कोशिश करती है। चेतना का यह स्तर वास्तविकता को प्रतिबिंबित करने वाला माना जाता है; यह वह नक्शा है जिसका उपयोग हम अपना जीवन चलाने के लिए करते हैं।

Our conscious motivations, ideas, and beliefs are a blend of false information, biases, irrational passions, rationalizations, prejudices, in which morsels of truth swim around and give the reassurance albeit false, that the whole mixture is real and true. The thinking processes attempt to organize this whole cesspool of illusions according to the laws of plausibility. This level of consciousness is supposed to reflect reality; it is the map we use for organizing our life.

जब विकास के सिद्धांत ने ईश्वर को सर्वोच्च रचयिता मानने वाली धारणा को ध्वस्त कर दिया, तो उसके साथ ही इंसान के सर्वशक्तिमान पिता के रूप में ईश्वर पर से विश्वास भी डगमगा गया, हालाँकि कई लोग डार्विन के सिद्धांत को स्वीकार करने के बावजूद ईश्वर में अपनी आस्था बनाए रखने में सफल रहे।

When the theory of evolution destroyed the picture of God as the supreme Creator, confidence in God as the all-powerful Father of man fell with it, although many were able to combine a belief in God with the acceptance of the Darwinian theory.

हमें मूल्यों के बारे में एक फैसला लेना ही होगा।

We must make a decision of values.

मैं तो यह कहूँगा कि 19वीं सदी और इतिहास के अधिकांश अन्य दौर की तुलना में, यह समाज इंसानों द्वारा बसाए गए किसी भी अन्य समाज जितना ही अच्छा या उससे बेहतर है। पर इसका यह मतलब बिल्कुल नहीं है कि यह अपने आप में कोई बहुत आदर्श समाज है।

I would say, compared with the 19th century, compared with most previous history, this is as good or better a society than any which man has ever made. But that doesn't mean it is such a good one.

प्रेम जिस चीज़ से हम प्रेम करते हैं, उसके जीवन और विकास के प्रति एक सक्रिय सरोकार है।

Love is the active concern for the life and the growth of that which we love.

हम यह भूल जाते हैं कि भले ही हमने जितनी भी स्वतंत्राएँ हासिल की हैं, उनकी पूरी ताकत से रक्षा करनी ही होगी; लेकिन स्वतंत्रता की समस्या केवल संख्या या मात्रा की नहीं, बल्कि उसकी गुणवत्ता की भी है। हमें केवल पारंपरिक स्वतंत्रता को बचाए रखना और बढ़ाना ही नहीं है, बल्कि एक नए किस्म की आज़ादी भी हासिल करनी है—एक ऐसी आज़ादी जो हमें हमारे सच्चे व्यक्तिगत स्वरूप को पहचानने, खुद पर और जीवन पर अटूट विश्वास रखने योग्य बनाए।

We forget that, although each of the liberties which have been won must be defended with utmost vigour, the problem of freedom is not only a quantitative one, but a qualitative one; that we not only have to preserve and increase the traditional freedom, but that we have to gain a new kind of freedom, one which enables us to realize our own individual self; to have faith in this self and in life.

प्रेम ज्ञान का एकमात्र ऐसा मार्ग है जो मिलन की क्रिया के माध्यम से मेरी जिज्ञासा को शांत करता है। प्रेम करने में, खुद को समर्पित करने में, दूसरे व्यक्ति के भीतर उतरने में, मैं खुद को पाता हूँ, खुद की खोज करता हूँ, हम दोनों को खोजता हूँ, और इंसान को खोजता हूँ।

Love is the only way of knowledge, which in the act of union answers my quest. In the act of loving, of giving myself, in the act of penetrating the other person, I find myself, I discover myself, I discover us both, I discover man.

दूसरे देश को पूरी तरह भ्रष्ट और शैतान के रूप में चित्रित किया जाता है, जबकि अपने देश को हर उस चीज़ का प्रतीक बताया जाता है जो अच्छी और महान है। दुश्मन के हर काम को एक अलग पैमाने पर परखा जाता है और अपने हर काम को दूसरे पैमाने पर। दुश्मन का कोई अच्छा काम भी हमें धोखा देने के उसके किसी खास शातिर मकसद के रूप में देखा जाता है, जबकि हमारे बुरे काम भी हमारे 'महान उद्देश्यों' की खातिर ज़रूरी और जायज़ ठहराए जाते हैं।

Another nation is made out to be utterly depraved and fiendish, while one's own nation stands for everything that is good and noble. Every action of the enemy is judged by one standard - every action of oneself by another. Even good deeds by the enemy are considered a sign of particular devilishness, meant to deceive us and the world, while our bad deeds are necessary and justified by our noble goals, which they serve.

प्लैतो से लेकर सिगमंड फ़्रॉइड तक, सपनों का अध्ययन करने वाले कई विद्वानों का मानना है कि बाहरी दुनिया से कटा हुआ सोया हुआ व्यक्ति कुछ समय के लिए किसी अतार्किक और आदिम मानसिक स्थिति में लौट जाता है।

Many students of dreams, from Plato to [Sigmund] Freud, hold that the sleeping person,deprived of contact with the outside world, regresses temporarily to an irrational primitive mental state.

अपनी आँखें बंद करो, अपनी आत्मा को उड़ान भरने दो, और तुम ऐसे जिओगे जैसे पहले कभी नहीं जिए।

Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar, and you'll live as you've never lived before.

आस्था विश्वास या ज्ञान का कोई कमज़ोर रूप नहीं है; यह इस या उस चीज़ में अंधविश्वास नहीं है; आस्था तो उस बात का दृढ़ विश्वास है जो अभी साबित नहीं हुई है, किसी वास्तविक संभावना का ज्ञान है, और गर्भ में पल रहे भविष्य की आहट का अहसास है।

Faith is not a weak form of belief or knowledge; it is not faith in this or that; faith is the conviction about the not yet proven, the knowledge of the real possibility, the awareness of pregnancy.

मेरा मानना है कि यदि कोई व्यक्ति अपने समाज से ऊपर उठने और यह देखने के रास्ते पर नहीं है कि वह समाज किस तरह मानवीय संभावनाओं के विकास को बढ़ावा देता है या रोकता है, तो वह अपनी इंसानियत के साथ गहरा जुड़ाव महसूस नहीं कर सकता।

I believe that if an individual is not on the path to transcending his society and seeing in what way it furthers or impedes the development of human potential, he cannot enter into intimate contact with his humanity.

सिगमंड फ़्रॉइड यह समझ नहीं पाए कि सपना मन की एक बेहद रचनात्मक प्रक्रिया है, जो प्रतीकवाद की सार्वभौमिक भाषा में लिखी जाती है, और उसमें सेंसरशिप केवल बाद में उन हिस्सों को थोड़ा विकृत करती है जिन्हें इंसान नींद में भी स्वीकार करने से इनकार कर देता है।

[Sigmund ] Freud did not under-stand that the dream is a highly creative act, written in the universal language of symbolism, and only secondarily does censorship distort those parts that the subject refuses to accept even in sleep.

उत्पादक कार्य, प्रेम और विचार तभी संभव हैं जब इंसान ज़रूरत पड़ने पर शांत और अकेला रह सके। खुद को सुन पाना ही दूसरों के साथ जुड़ने की पहली शर्त है।

Productive work, love and thought are possible only if a person can be, when necessary, quiet and alone. To be able to listen to oneself is the necessary condition for relating oneself to others.

19वीं और 20वीं सदी में हम इंसानों के लिए एक ज़्यादा गरिमामयी जीवन की संभावनाएँ पैदा करना चाहते थे ताकि हम और ज़्यादा उत्पादन कर सकें; लेकिन असल में हुआ यह कि उत्पादन और उपभोग महज़ साधन बनकर रहने के बजाय खुद ही साध्य बन गए हैं, और आज हम उत्पादन और उपभोग के पागलपन की हद तक दीवाने हो चुके हैं।

We've wanted to produce more in the 19th century and the 20th century in order to give man the possibility for more dignified human life; but actually what has happened is that production and consumption have become means - have ceased to be means and have become ends, and we are production crazy and consumption crazy.

हम सपनों में न केवल कम समझदार और कम सभ्य होते हैं... बल्कि जब हम सो रहे होते हैं तब हम जागने की अवस्था की तुलना में अधिक बुद्धिमान, समझदार और बेहतर निर्णय लेने में सक्षम होते हैं।

We are not only less reasonable and less decent in our dreams... we are also more inteligent, wiser and capable of better judgment when we are asleep than when we are awake.

We are not only less reasonable and less decent in our dreams... we are also more inteligent, wiser and capable of better judgment when we are asleep than when we are awake.

अपने निजी अनुभव के आधार पर मैं यह कह सकता हूँ कि कई सपने बहुत स्पष्ट रूप से लिखे होते हैं, लेकिन कुछ ऐसे भी होते हैं जिनमें अर्थ को सुलझाने के लिए विकृतियों का सामना करना पड़ता है। और स्वप्न विश्लेषण की असली कला इसी बात को जानने में निहित है कि कब किस दृष्टिकोण को अपनाया जाए या दोनों का मेल कैसे किया जाए, जो इस पूरी कला का एक महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा बना रहता है।

From my personal experience I can conclude that many dreams are clearly written but there are some in which one meets distortions to decipher. And it is really in knowing when one must prefer the one or the other approach, or a combination of the two, that remains one of the important elements of the art of dream interpretation.

रचनात्मक नज़रिया अपनाने, चीज़ों को देखने और उन पर प्रतिक्रिया देने, जागरूक होने और अपनी जागरूकता के प्रति संवेदनशील होने की शर्तें क्या हैं? सबसे पहले इसके लिए चकित होने की क्षमता की आवश्यकता होती है। बच्चों में अब भी चकित होने की क्षमता होती है।

What are the conditions of the creative attitude, of seeing and responding, of being aware and being sensitive to what one is aware of? First of all it requires the capacity to be puzzled. Children still have the capacity to be puzzled.

औद्योगिक समाज के इस दौर की शुरुआत में जिन दो सबसे दूरगामी और महत्वपूर्ण आलोचनात्मक सिद्धांतों ने दुनिया को प्रभावित किया, वे मार्क्स और फ़्रॉइड के थे। मार्क्स ने सामाजिक-ऐतिहासिक प्रक्रिया की प्रेरक शक्तियों और अंतर्द्वंद्वों को उजागर किया, जबकि फ़्रॉइड का उद्देश्य इंसानी मन के भीतर चल रहे द्वंद्वों को सामने लाना था। दोनों ने इंसानों की मुक्ति के लिए काम किया, हालाँकि मार्क्स का दृष्टिकोण फ़्रॉइड की तुलना में कहीं अधिक व्यापक और समय की सीमाओं से परे था।

The two most far-reaching critical theories at the beginning of the latest phase of industrial society were those of Marx and Freud. Marx showed the moving powers and the conflicts in the social-historical process. Freud aimed at the critical uncovering of the inner conflicts. Both worked for the liberation of man, even though Marx's concept was more comprehensive and less time-bound than Freud's.

शायद ही कोई ऐसा काम या उपक्रम हो जिसकी शुरुआत इतनी अपार उम्मीदों और अपेक्षाओं के साथ होती हो, और फिर भी जो प्रेम की तरह इतनी बार असफल होता हो।

There is hardly any activity, any enterprise, which is started out with such tremendous hopes and expectations, and yet which fails so regularly, as love.

यदि हमारा सर्वोच्च मूल्य पश्चिमी परंपरा का विकास है—एक ऐसे इंसान का विकास जिसके लिए जीवन में सबसे बढ़कर खुद इंसान है, जिसके लिए इंसान का प्रेम, इंसान का आदर और इंसान की गरिमा सर्वोपरि मूल्य हैं—तो हम यह सवाल कभी नहीं पूछ सकते कि "क्या अपने अस्तित्व को बचाने के लिए हमें इन मूल्यों को त्याग देना चाहिए?"

If our supreme value is the development of the Western tradition - of a man for whom the highest thing in life is man, for whom love for man, respect for man, and the dignity of man, are supreme values - then we cannot ask the question that says, "if it is better for our survival, might we drop these values?"

कौन बता सकता है कि प्रेम का एक सुखद पल, या किसी सुहानी सुबह में सांस लेने या टहलने का आनंद और ताज़ी हवा की महक, जीवन के उन तमाम संघर्षों और कोशिशों से कहीं ज़्यादा कीमती नहीं है?

Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies.

इंसान जैसे-जैसे प्रकृति और अन्य इंसानों के साथ अपनी शुरुआती अखंडता से बाहर निकलकर आज़ादी हासिल करता है और एक 'व्यक्ति' के रूप में उभरता है, उसके पास इसके अलावा कोई चारा नहीं बचता कि या तो वह प्रेम और रचनात्मक कार्यों की सहजता के साथ खुद को इस दुनिया से जोड़े, या फिर दुनिया से ऐसे रिश्ते बना कर सुरक्षा तलाश ले जो उसकी स्वतंत्रता और उसके व्यक्तित्व की अखंडता को ही नष्ट कर दें।

Man, the more he gains freedom in the sense of emerging from the original oneness with man and nature and the more he becomes an "individual," has no choice but to unite himself with the world in the spontaneity of love and productive work or else to seek a kind of security by such ties with the world as destroy his freedom and the integrity of his individual self.

कामुक प्रेम में, दो अलग लोग एक हो जाते हैं। माँ के प्रेम में, दो लोग जो एक थे, अलग हो जाते हैं। माँ को केवल बच्चे के अलग होने को सहन ही नहीं करना चाहिए, बल्कि उसकी इस जुदाई की कामना करनी चाहिए और उसका समर्थन करना चाहिए।

In erotic love, two people who were separate become one. In motherly love, two people who were one become separate. The mother must not only tolerate, she must wish and support the child's separation.

लोगों को लगता है कि प्यार करना आसान है, लेकिन प्यार करने के लिए सही इंसान ढूँढना—या किसी ऐसे व्यक्ति द्वारा प्यार पाना—मुश्किल है।

दुनिया से जुड़ाव का यह तरीका चाहे कितना भी महान या तुच्छ क्यों न हो, लेकिन किसी निकृष्टतम परंपरा या सांचे से जुड़ा होना भी अकेलेपन में रहने से कहीं ज़्यादा बेहतर होता है।

The kind of relatedness to the world may be noble or trivial, but even being related to the basest kind of pattern is immensely preferable to being alone.

मनुष्य की सबसे सुंदर और सबसे बदसूरत प्रवृत्तियाँ किसी तयशुदा जैविक मानवीय स्वभाव का हिस्सा नहीं हैं, बल्कि वे उस सामाजिक प्रक्रिया का परिणाम हैं जो मनुष्य को गढ़ती है।

The most beautiful as well as the most ugly inclinations of man are not part of a fixed biologically given human nature, but result from the social process which creates man.

हमारी पूरी संस्कृति खरीदने की चाह और एक-दूसरे के लिए फायदेमंद सौदों के विचार पर टिकी हुई है। .... पुरुष के लिए एक आकर्षक लड़की और महिला के लिए एक आकर्षक पुरुष वे इनाम हैं जिनकी वे तलाश करते हैं। 'आकर्षक' का मतलब आमतौर पर उन गुणों का एक बढ़िया पैकेज होता है जो व्यक्तित्व के बाज़ार में लोकप्रिय और मांगे जाते हैं। शारीरिक और मानसिक रूप से, कोई व्यक्ति विशेष रूप से क्या चीज़ आकर्षक बनाती है, यह उस समय के फ़ैशन पर निर्भर करता है। ... इस तरह दो लोग तब प्यार में पड़ते हैं जब उन्हें लगता है कि उन्होंने अपने खुद के विनिमय मूल्य की सीमाओं को ध्यान में रखते हुए, बाज़ार में उपलब्ध सबसे बेहतरीन चीज़ पा ली है।

Our whole culture is based on the appetite for buying, on the idea of a mutually favorable exchange. .... For the man an attractive girl - and for the woman an attractive man - are the prizes they are after. 'attractive' usually means a nice package of qualities which are popular and sought after on the personality market. What specifically makes a person attractive depends on the fashion of the time, physically as well as mentally. ... Two persons thus fall in love when they feel they have found the best object available on the market, considering the limitations of their own exchange values.

समाजवाद से मेरा तात्पर्य एक ऐसे समाज से है जहाँ उत्पादन का उद्देश्य मुनाफा कमाना नहीं, बल्कि ज़रूरत की चीजें पैदा करना हो। जहाँ हर नागरिक अपने काम में और पूरी सामाजिक व्यवस्था में ज़िम्मेदारी के साथ हिस्सा ले, और जहाँ वह पूँजीपतियों के हाथों का महज़ एक मोहरा या साधन बनकर न रहे।

I understand by socialism a society in which the aim of production is not profit, but the use. In which the individual citizen participates responsibly in his work, and in the whole social organization, and in which he is not a means who is employed by capital.

माँ का प्यार परम आनंद है, शांति है, इसे हासिल करने की ज़रूरत नहीं होती, इसके योग्य साबित होने की ज़रूरत नहीं होती। अगर यह है, तो यह किसी आशीर्वाद की तरह है; अगर यह नहीं है, तो ऐसा लगता है जैसे जीवन से सारा सौंदर्य ही गायब हो गया हो।

Mother's love is bliss, is peace, it need not be acquired, it need not be deserved. If it is there, it is like a blessing; if it is not there it is as if all the beauty had gone out of life.

'एजुकेशन' (शिक्षा) शब्द की जड़ 'ई-ड्यूसेरे' (e-ducere) है, जिसका शाब्दिक अर्थ है—आगे बढ़ाना, या किसी ऐसी चीज़ को बाहर लाना जो भीतर पहले से ही मौजूद हो।

The root of the word education is e-ducere, literally, to lead forth, or to bring out something which is potentially present.

लेकिन केवल चिकित्सा, इंजीनियरिंग और चित्रकला ही कलाएँ नहीं हैं; जीवन जीना अपने आप में एक कला है—वास्तव में, इंसान द्वारा अभ्यास की जाने वाली सबसे महत्वपूर्ण और साथ ही सबसे कठिन और जटिल कला।

But not only medicine, engineering, and painting are arts; living itself is an art in fact, the most important and at the same time the most difficult and complex art to be practiced by man.

नींद अक्सर वह अकेला मौका होती है जब इंसान अपनी ज़मीर की आवाज़ को चुप नहीं करा पाता; और जागने पर हम वह सब भूल जाते हैं जो हमने सपने में जाना था।

Sleep is often the only occasion in which man cannot silence his conscience; we forget what we knew in our dream.

Sleep is often the only occasion in which man cannot silence his conscience; we forget what we knew in our dream.

मैं कहूँगा कि प्यार एक ऐसी चीज़ है जिसके बारे में हर कोई बात करता है, और प्यार की ज़रूरत इंसान की सबसे बुनियादी ज़रूरतों में से एक है, यानी किसी दूसरे प्राणी के साथ एक होने का अनुभव—किसी दूसरे प्राणी में विलीन हो जाने का अनुभव।

I would say love is something everybody talks about, and the need for love is one of the most basic needs of man, namely the experience of union with another being - of becoming one with another being.

ठीक उसी तरह, हमने अपने देश में होने वाली घटनाओं की जिम्मेदारी उन विशेषज्ञों पर डाल दी है जिनसे यह उम्मीद की जाती है कि वे इसकी देखभाल करेंगे, और आम नागरिक को यह महसूस ही नहीं होता कि वह खुद कोई फैसला ले सकता है या उसे ऐसा करना चाहिए और जिम्मेदारी उठानी चाहिए। मुझे लगता है कि हाल ही में ऐसे कई वाकये सामने आए हैं जो इस बात को साबित करते हैं।

We have, in the same way, relegated our own responsibility in what happens to our country to the specialists, who are supposed to take care of it, and the individual citizen does not feel that he can judge, and even that he should judge, and take any responsibility. I think there are quite a number of recent developments which show that.

मानवीय भावनाएँ मनुष्य को एक महज़ वस्तु से बदलकर एक नायक बना देती हैं, एक ऐसा प्राणी जो भारी बाधाओं के बावजूद जीवन को सार्थक बनाने की कोशिश करता है।

The human passions transform man from a mere thing into a hero, into a being that in spite of tremendous handicaps tries to make sense of life.

खुशी इंसान की सबसे बड़ी उपलब्धि है; यह अपने आप और बाहरी दुनिया के प्रति उसकी उत्पादक सोच पर उसके पूरे व्यक्तित्व की प्रतिक्रिया है।

Happiness is a man's greatest achievement; it is the response of his total personality to a productive orientation toward himself and the world outside.

मार्क्स का यह वाक्य, जिसे उबाऊ हद तक दोहराया गया है, का गलत अर्थ निकाला जाता है। वास्तव में [कार्ल] मार्क्स एक "धार्मिक" व्यक्ति थे।

जीवन का उद्देश्य पूरी तरह से जन्म लेना है, हालाँकि इसकी त्रासदी यह है कि हम में से अधिकांश लोग इस तरह जन्म लेने से पहले ही मर जाते हैं।

The aim of life is to be fully born, though its tragedy is that most of us die before we are thus born.

मुझे लगता है कि [कार्ल] मार्क्स, पोप जॉन XXIII या रोज़ा लक्ज़मबर्ग [ने इस तरह का जीवन जीया था]। लेकिन मशहूर हस्तियों की ऐसी सूची देखना बेकार होगा।

I think [Karl] Marx, Pope John XXIII or Rosa Luxemburg [had achieved the mode of existence].But it would be useless to look at a list of illustrious names.

आज मनोचिकित्सा, मनोविज्ञान और मनोविश्लेषण का काम इंसान को अपने इशारों पर नचाने का एक हथियार बनने की कगार पर है।

Today the function of psychiatry, psychology and psychoanalysis threatens to become the tool in the manipulation of man.

औसत अमेरिकी को अपने समाज से कोई सरोकार नहीं है। वह इसके बारे में बातें तो करता है, लेकिन जब बात सचमुच परवाह करने की हो, तो मेरा मतलब उस बात से है जिसके लिए कभी-कभी रातों की नींद उड़ जाए।

The average American is not concerned with his society. He talks about it, but you know if one speaks of being concerned, I mean something about which one loses one's sleep, sometimes.

आम नागरिक के पास यह बहुत कम गुंजाइश होती है कि उसका कोई प्रभाव हो सके—निर्णय लेने की प्रक्रिया में उसकी राय को कोई अहमियत मिले।

The individual citizen has very little possibility of having any influence - of making his opinion felt in the decision-making.

किसी की योग्यता के कारण, क्योंकि वह इसके योग्य है, प्यार पाना हमेशा एक संदेह छोड़ जाता है; शायद मैं उस व्यक्ति को खुश नहीं कर पाया जो मुझे प्यार करना चाहता है, शायद यह, या वह—हमेशा यह डर बना रहता है कि प्यार कहीं गायब न हो जाए।

To be loved because of one's merit, because one deserves it, always leaves doubt; maybe I did not please the person whom I want to love me, maybe this, or that - there is always a fear that love could disappear.

अगर हम यह सोचने लगें कि, "चलो, शायद हम रूसियों का मुकाबला बेहतर तरीके से कर सकते हैं अगर हम खुद को भी एक नियंत्रित समाज में बदल लें, जैसा कि अभी किसी ने कहा था कि हम अपने सैनिकों को तुर्कों की तरह प्रशिक्षित करें जिन्होंने कोरिया में इतनी बहादुरी से लड़ाई लड़ी थी, अगर हम तथाकथित 'जीवित रहने' के नाम पर अपनी पूरी जीवनशैली बदलने को तैयार हैं," तो मुझे लगता है कि हम ठीक वही कर रहे हैं जो हमारे अस्तित्व के लिए खतरा है।

If we begin to say, "Well, maybe we can cope better with the Russians if we also transform ourselves into a managed society, if we, as somebody put it the other day, train our soldiers to be like the Turks, who have fought so bravely in Korea, if we are willing to change our whole way of life for the sake of so-called "survival," then I think we do exactly that which threatens our survival.

क्या आज़ादी भी एक ऐसा बोझ बन सकती है, जिसे उठाना इंसान के लिए बहुत भारी हो, जिससे वह भागने की कोशिश करता है?..क्या आज़ादी की जन्मजात इच्छा के अलावा, शायद समर्पण की कोई दबी हुई सहज इच्छा भी नहीं होती?

Can freedom become a burden, too heavy for man to bear, something he tries to escape from?..Is there not also, perhaps, besides an innate desire for freedom, an instinctive wish for submission?

समानता से कभी वही अर्थ समझा जाता था जो बाइबल में समानता के बारे में कहा गया है: कि हम सब एक समान हैं, इस मायने में कि हम सबको ईश्वर के रूप में गढ़ा गया है।

By equality, one once understood equality in the very same sense in which the Bible speaks of equality: that we are all equal, inasmuch as we are created in the image of God.

आशावाद आस्था का एक विकृत रूप है, और निराशावाद निराशा का एक विकृत रूप है।

Optimism is an alienated form of faith, pessimism an alienated form of despair.

Optimism is an alienated form of faith, pessimism an alienated form of despair.

हम सब इस मायने में बराबर हैं कि कोई भी इंसान किसी दूसरे इंसान के मकसदों को पूरा करने का जरिया नहीं होना चाहिए—बल्कि हर व्यक्ति अपने आप में एक उद्देश्य है।

We are all equal in the sense that no man must mean - must be - the means for the purposes of another man; but each individual is an end in itself.

मुझे लगता है कि आज लोकतंत्र का असल मतलब काफी हद तक गढ़ा हुआ जनसमर्थन है—जबरन थोपा गया समर्थन नहीं, बल्कि हेरफेर से हासिल किया गया समर्थन—और विज्ञापन एजेंसियों (मैडिसन एवेन्यू) की मदद से इसमें लगातार हेरफेर किया जा रहा है।

जानने का अर्थ है सतह को चीरकर उसकी जड़ों और फिर उसके कारणों तक पहुँचना; जानने का अर्थ है वास्तविकता को उसके नग्न रूप में 'देखना'। जानने का अर्थ सच्चाई पर अधिकार जमाना नहीं है; इसका अर्थ है सतह को भेदना और सच्चाई के और अधिक करीब पहुँचने के लिए आलोचनात्मक और सक्रिय रूप से प्रयास करना।

Knowing means to penetrate through the surface, in order to arrive at the roots, and hence the causes; knowing means to "see" reality in its nakedness. Knowing does not mean to be in the possession of the truth; it means to penetrate the surface and to strive critically and actively in order to approach truth ever more closely.

आधुनिक मनुष्य को लगता है कि जब वह काम तेज़ी से नहीं करता तो वह कुछ—यानी समय—खो रहा है। फिर भी वह नहीं जानता कि उस बचाए हुए समय का क्या करे, सिवाय उसे बर्बाद करने के।

Modern man thinks he loses something - time - when he does not do things quickly. Yet he does not know what to do with the time he gains, except kill it.

हमारा समकालीन पश्चिमी समाज, अपनी भौतिक, बौद्धिक और राजनीतिक प्रगति के बावजूद, मानसिक स्वास्थ्य के लिए लगातार कम अनुकूल होता जा रहा है, और यह व्यक्ति की आंतरिक सुरक्षा, खुशी, विवेक और प्रेम की क्षमता को कमजोर करने की प्रवृत्ति रखता है; यह उसे एक ऐसे यंत्र में बदल देता है जो काम के पागलोंपन और तथाकथित आनंद के पीछे छुपी निराशा के साथ अपनी मानवीय विफलता की कीमत चुकाता है।

Our contemporary Western society, in spite of its material, intellectual and political progress, is increasingly less conducive to mental health, and tends to undermine the inner security, happiness, reason and the capacity for love in the individual; it tends to turn him into an automaton who pays for his human failure with increasing mental sickness, and with despair hidden under a frantic drive for work and so called pleasure.

मानव प्रकृति की एक विचित्र भूल के रूप में पैदा हुआ है, जो प्रकृति के भीतर होते हुए भी उससे परे है। उसे ऐसे आचरण और निर्णय लेने के सिद्धांतों को खोजना होगा जो प्रवृत्ति (सहज ज्ञान) के सिद्धांतों की जगह ले सकें।

Man is born as a freak of nature, being within nature and yet transcending it. He has to find principles of action and decision-making which replace the principles of instincts.

उत्पादन-केंद्रित और वस्तुओं की लालसा रखने वाली इस समाज-व्यवस्था की प्रकृति ऐसी है कि केवल एक लीक से हटकर चलने वाला व्यक्ति ही इसके विरुद्ध अपनी पर्याप्त रक्षा कर सकता है। जो लोग मानवीय अस्तित्व की समस्या के एकमात्र तार्किक समाधान के रूप में प्रेम के प्रति गंभीर रूप से चिंतित हैं, उन्हें इस निष्कर्ष पर पहुँचना ही होगा कि यदि प्रेम को समाज का एक हिस्सा बनना है, न कि केवल अत्यधिक व्यक्तिवादी और हाशिए की घटना बनकर रह जाना है, तो हमारी सामाजिक संरचना में महत्वपूर्ण और बुनियादी बदलाव आवश्यक हैं।

The spirit of a production-centered, commodity-greedy society is such that only the non-conformist can defend himself sufficiently against it. Those who are seriously concerned with love as the only rational answer to the problem of human existence must, then, arrive at the conclusion that important and radical changes in our social structure are necessary, if love is to become a social and not a highly individualistic, marginal phenomenon.

विचार के माध्यम से दुनिया को समझने की मनुष्य की क्षमता का नाम 'विवेक' है, जो 'बुद्धि' के विपरीत है। बुद्धि विचार की सहायता से दुनिया में हेरफेर करने की मनुष्य की क्षमता है। विवेक सत्य तक पहुँचने का मनुष्य का साधन है, जबकि बुद्धि दुनिया को अधिक सफलता के साथ अपने अनुकूल ढालने का मनुष्य का साधन है; पहला अनिवार्य रूप से मानवीय है, और दूसरा मनुष्य के पशुवत हिस्से से संबंधित है।

Reason is man's faculty for grasping the world by thought, in contradiction to intelligence, which is man's ability to manipulate the world with the help of thought. Reason is man's instrument for arriving at the truth, intelligence is man's instrument for manipulating the world more successfully; the former is essentially human, the latter belongs to the animal part of man.

ऐसा प्रतीत होता है कि सौ साल पहले के महान बुद्धिजीवियों ने यह भांप लिया था कि आज या कल क्या होने वाला है, जबकि हम, जिनके साथ यह सब घटित हो रहा है, अपनी दैनिक दिनचर्या में खलल न पड़े इसलिए जानबूझकर आँखें मूंद लेते हैं।

It seems that great minds a hundred years ago saw what would happen today or tomorrow, while we to whom it is happening blind ourselves in order not to be disturbed in our daily routine.

आधुनिक विज्ञापन का एक बहुत बड़ा हिस्सा... विवेक को नहीं बल्कि भावनाओं को संबोधित करता है; सम्मोहन जैसी किसी भी अन्य प्रक्रिया की तरह, यह पहले भावनाओं के स्तर पर अपनी छाप छोड़ने की कोशिश करता है और फिर बुद्धि के स्तर पर व्यक्ति को अपने आगे झुकने के लिए विवश करता है।

A vast sector of modern advertising... does not appeal to reason but to emotion; like any other kind of hypnoid suggestion, it tries to impress its objects emotionally and then make them submit intellectually.

प्रेम मुख्य रूप से किसी विशिष्ट व्यक्ति के साथ संबंध नहीं है; यह एक दृष्टिकोण है, चरित्र की एक ऐसी दिशा है जो पूरी दुनिया के साथ व्यक्ति के जुड़ाव को तय करती है, न कि प्रेम के किसी एक पात्र के प्रति।

Love is not primarily a relationship to a specific person; it is an attitude, an ordination of character which determines the relatedness of the person to the whole world as a whole, not toward one object of love

समाज का संगठन इस तरह से होना चाहिए कि मनुष्य की सामाजिक और प्रेमपूर्ण प्रकृति उसके सामाजिक अस्तित्व से अलग न हो, बल्कि दोनों एक ही हो जाएं।

आज हम रूस के बारे में बहुत बातें करते हैं, और मुझे डर है कि आने वाले बीस वर्षों में, हम और रूस एक-दूसरे से अलग होने के बजाय एक जैसे अधिक दिखेंगे।

We talk a great deal about Russia today, and I'm afraid that in twenty years, we and Russia will be more similar than different.

जब लोग एक दूरदर्शी सोच को देख पाते हैं और साथ ही यह भी पहचान लेते हैं कि उसे पाने के लिए ठोस रूप से कदम-दर-कदम क्या किया जा सकता है, तो वे डर के बजाय प्रोत्साहन और उत्साह महसूस करने लगते हैं।

When people can see a vision and simultaneously recognize what can be done step by step in a concrete way to achieve it, they will begin to feel encouragement and enthusiasm instead of fright.

जीवन में मनुष्य का मुख्य कार्य स्वयं को जन्म देना है, और वह बनना है जो वह अपनी पूरी क्षमता के साथ बन सकता है। उसके प्रयासों का सबसे महत्वपूर्ण परिणाम उसका अपना व्यक्तित्व है। कोई भी व्यक्ति निष्पक्ष रूप से यह आंक सकता है कि उसने अपने इस कार्य में कितनी सफलता प्राप्त की है और अपनी क्षमताओं को किस हद तक साकार किया है। यदि वह इस कार्य में असफल रहा है, तो इस विफलता को पहचाना जा सकता है और इसे इसके सही रूप में यानी एक नैतिक असफलता के रूप में देखा जा सकता है।

Man's main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is. The most important product of his effort is his own personality. One can judge objectively to what extent a person has succeeded in his task, to what degree he has realized his potentialities. If he has failed in his task, one can recognize this failure and judge it for what it is - a moral failure.

यदि यह सच है (जैसा कि मैंने साबित करने का प्रयास किया है) कि मानवीय अस्तित्व की समस्या का एकमात्र समझदार और संतोषजनक समाधान प्रेम है, तो ऐसा कोई भी समाज जो प्रेम के विकास को बड़े पैमाने पर रोकता है, वह लंबे समय में मानव प्रकृति की बुनियादी जरूरतों के साथ अपने ही अंतर्विरोध के कारण नष्ट हो जाएगा।

If it is true, as I have tried to show, that love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence, then any society which excludes, relatively, the development of love, must in the long run perish of its own contradiction with the basic necessities of human nature.

इस प्रकार, मनुष्य के सामने अंतिम विकल्प यही होता है कि चूंकि उसे खुद को अपनी सीमाओं से आगे बढ़ाने की प्रेरणा मिलती है, इसलिए वह या तो सृजन करे या विनाश, प्रेम करे या घृणा।

Thus, the ultimate choice for a man, inasmuch as he is driven to transcend himself, is to create or to destroy, to love or to hate.

मेरा मानना है कि मनुष्य के सामने मौलिक विकल्प 'जीवन' और 'मृत्यु' के बीच है; रचनात्मकता और विनाशकारी हिंसा के बीच; यथार्थ और भ्रम के बीच; निष्पक्षता और असहिष्णुता के बीच; तथा बंधुत्व-स्वायत्तता और आधिपत्य-अधीनता के बीच।

I believe that the fundamental alternative for man is the choice between "life" and "death"; between creativity and destructive violence; between reality and illusions; between objectivity and intolerance; between brotherhood-independence and dominance-submission.

हम यह भूल जाते हैं कि यद्यपि स्वतंत्र अभिव्यक्ति पुराने बंधनों के खिलाफ लड़ाई में एक महत्वपूर्ण जीत है, फिर भी आज की स्थिति यह है कि आधुनिक मनुष्य जो कुछ भी सोचता और कहता है, उसका अधिकांश हिस्सा वही होता है जो बाकी सब लोग सोचते और कहते हैं; उसने मौलिक रूप से — यानी अपने दम पर — सोचने की क्षमता विकसित ही नहीं की है, जबकि यही वह क्षमता है जो इस दावे को अर्थ देती है कि उसके विचारों की अभिव्यक्ति में कोई दखल नहीं दे सकता।

We forget that, although freedom of speech constitutes an important victory in the battle against old restraints, modern man is in a position where much of what "he" thinks and says are the things that everybody else thinks and says; that he has not acquired the ability to think originally - that is, for himself - which alone gives meaning to his claim that nobody can interfere with the expression of his thoughts.

ज्ञान सिखाते हुए, हम उस शिक्षा को खोते जा रहे हैं जो मानवीय विकास के लिए सबसे महत्वपूर्ण है: वह शिक्षा जो केवल एक परिपक्व और प्रेम करने वाले व्यक्ति की सहज उपस्थिति से ही दी जा सकती है।

While we teach knowledge, we are losing that teaching which is the most important one for human development: the teaching which can only be given by the simple presence of a mature, loving person.

यह मान लिया जाता है कि चूंकि बहुसंख्यक लोग कुछ विशेष विचारों और भावनाओं को साझा करते हैं, इसलिए वे विचार और भावनाएं सही ही होंगी। सच्चाई से दूर कुछ भी नहीं हो सकता। इस प्रकार की आपसी सहमति का विवेक या मानसिक स्वास्थ्य से कोई लेना-देena नहीं है।

It is naively assumed that the fact that the majority of people share certain ideas and feelings proves the validity of these ideas and feelings. Nothing could be further from the truth. Consensual validation as such has no bearing on reason or mental health.

यह जगजाहिर है कि देशों के बीच होने वाला कोई भी युद्ध उतनी घृणा और क्रूरता को जन्म नहीं देता जितनी कि गृहयुद्ध, जिसमें लड़ने वाले दोनों पक्षों के बीच एक-दूसरे से अपरिचित होने की कोई स्थिति नहीं होती।

It is notorious that no war between countries elicits as much hate and cruelty as civil war, in which there is no lack of acquaintance between the two warring sides.

प्रेम मनुष्य के भीतर एक सक्रिय शक्ति है; एक ऐसी शक्ति जो उन दीवारों को तोड़ देती है जो मनुष्य को उसके साथियों से अलग करती हैं और उसे दूसरों के साथ जोड़ती है; प्रेम उसे अकेलेपन और अलगाव की भावना से ऊपर उठाता है, फिर भी यह उसे स्वयं बने रहने और अपनी अखंडता को बनाए रखने की पूरी छूट देता है।

Love is an active power in man; a power which breaks through the walls which separate man from his fellow men, which unite him with others; love makes him overcome the sense of isolation and separateness, yet it permits him to be himself, to retain his integrity.

यदि आप एक सर्वसत्तावादी शासक (बिग ब्रदर) चाहते हैं, तो उसके साथ आने वाली हर मुसीबत को भी आपको झेलना ही होगा।

आधुनिक मनुष्य के मन में एक नया प्रश्न पैदा हुआ है, यानी यह प्रश्न कि क्या जीने लायक जीवन वाकई कोई है भी या नहीं... इस प्रश्न का कोई भी समझदारी भरा उत्तर नहीं दिया जा सकता... क्योंकि इस प्रश्न का कोई तुक ही नहीं बनता।

A new question has arisen in modern man's mind, the question, namely, whether life is worth living...No sensible answer can be given to the question...because the question does not make any sense.

अतीत का खतरा यह था कि मनुष्य गुलाम बन जाते थे। भविष्य का खतरा यह है कि मनुष्य रोबोट बन सकते हैं। यह सच है कि रोबोट बगावत नहीं करते। लेकिन मनुष्य की प्रकृति को देखते हुए, रोबोट न तो जीवित रह सकते हैं और न ही मानसिक रूप से स्वस्थ रह सकते हैं; वे 'गोलम' (निर्जीव पुतले) बन जाएंगे, वे अपनी दुनिया और खुद को नष्ट कर देंगे क्योंकि वे अर्थहीन जीवन के उबाऊपन को अब और सहन नहीं कर सकते।

The danger of the past was that men became slaves. The danger of the future is that men may become robots. True enough, robots do not rebel. But given man's nature, robots cannot live and remain sane, they become ''Golems',' they will destroy their world and themselves because they cannot stand any longer the boredom of a meaningless life.

क्या... प्राकृतिक विज्ञान के वर्चस्व से बदलकर एक नए सामाजिक विज्ञान की स्थापना होगी या नहीं... यह केवल एक बात पर निर्भर करता है: कितने प्रतिभावान, विद्वान, अनुशासित और परोपकारी स्त्री-पुरुष इस नई चुनौती की ओर आकर्षित होते हैं।

Whether...a change from the supremacy of natural science to a new social science will take place...depends on one factor: how many brilliant, learned, disciplined, and caring men and women are attracted by the new challenge.

पूर्ण ज्ञान का एकमात्र मार्ग प्रेम के कार्य से होकर गुजरता है; यह कार्य विचार से परे है, शब्दों से परे है। यह एकीकरण के अनुभव में उतरने वाला एक साहसी कदम है। किसी से प्रेम करना केवल एक तीव्र भावना नहीं है—यह एक निर्णय है, एक मूल्यांकन है, एक वादा है।

The only way of full knowledge lies in the act of love; this act transcends thought, it transcends words. It is the daring plunge into the experience of union. To love somebody is not just a strong feeling-it is a decision, it is a judgment, it is a promise.

प्रेम में एक ऐसा विरोधाभास होता है जहाँ दो प्राणी एक हो जाते हैं और फिर भी दो ही रहते हैं।

In love the paradox occurs that two beings become one and yet remain two.

सभी सच्चे आदर्शों में एक बात समान होती है: वे किसी ऐसी चीज़ की इच्छा को व्यक्त करते हैं जो अभी पूरी नहीं हुई है, लेकिन जो व्यक्ति के विकास और खुशी के लिए वांछनीय है।

All genuine ideals have one thing in common: they express the desire for something which is not yet accomplished but which is desirable for the purpose of the growth and happiness of the individual.

हम खुद को जान सकते हैं, और फिर भी तमाम कोशिशों के बावजूद हम खुद को पूरी तरह नहीं जान पाते। हम अपने साथी इंसान को जानते हैं, और फिर भी हम उसे नहीं जानते, क्योंकि हम कोई निर्जीव वस्तु नहीं हैं, और हमारा साथी इंसान भी कोई वस्तु नहीं है। हम जितना अधिक अपने अस्तित्व की गहराइयों में या किसी अन्य के अस्तित्व में उतरने की कोशिश करते हैं, ज्ञान का लक्ष्य उतना ही हमसे दूर होता जाता है।

We may know ourselves, and yet even with all the efforts we make, we do not know ourselves. We know our fellowman, and yet we do not know him, because we are not a thing, and our fellowman is not a thing. The further we reach into the depths of our being, on someone else's being, the more the goal of knowledge eludes us.

हमारी भाषा में किसी भी अन्य शब्द का उतना दुरुपयोग और अवमूल्यन नहीं हुआ जितना 'प्रेम' शब्द का हुआ है। इसका प्रचार उन लोगों द्वारा किया गया है जो अपने स्वार्थ को पूरा करने के लिए हर क्रूरता को माफ करने को तैयार थे; इसका उपयोग एक ऐसे आवरण के रूप में किया गया है जिसके सहारे लोगों को अपनी खुशी का बलिदान देने और इस समर्पण से मुनाफा कमाने वालों के सामने खुद को पूरी तरह झुकाने के लिए मजबूर किया गया। [...] इसे इतना खोखला बना दिया गया है कि कई लोगों के लिए प्रेम का अर्थ बस इतना रह जाता है कि दो लोग हफ्ते में एक बार से ज्यादा लड़े बिना बीस साल से एक साथ रह रहे हैं।

There is no word in our language which has been so much misused and prostituted as the word love. It has been preached by those who were ready to condone every cruelty if it served their purpose; it has been used as a disguise under which to force people into sacrificing their own happiness, into submitting their whole self to those who profited from this surrender. [...] It has been made so empty that for many people love may mean no more than that two people have lived together for twenty years just without fighting more often than once a week.

मनुष्य एकमात्र ऐसा प्राणी है जो प्रकृति में सहज महसूस नहीं करता, जो खुद को स्वर्ग से निकाला हुआ महसूस कर सकता है, और जिसके लिए उसका अपना अस्तित्व ही एक ऐसी समस्या है जिसे उसे हल करना ही होता है और जिससे वह बच नहीं सकता। वह प्रकृति के साथ उस पूर्व-मानवीय सामंजस्य की अवस्था में वापस नहीं जा सकता, और वह यह नहीं जानता कि यदि वह आगे बढ़ा तो वह कहाँ पहुँचेगा। मनुष्य का अस्तित्वगत अंतर्विरोध उसे निरंतर असंतुलन की स्थिति में रखता है। यही असंतुलन उसे उस पशु से अलग करता है जो प्रकृति के साथ एक प्रकार से सामंजस्य में रहता है।

Man is the only animal who does not feel at home in nature, who can feel evicted from paradise, the only animal for whom his own existence is a problem that he has to solve and from which he cannot escape. He cannot go back to the prehuman state of harmony with nature, and he does not know where he will arrive if he goes forward. Man's existential contradiction results in a state of constant disequilibrium. This disequilibrium distinguishes him from the animal, which lives, as it were, in harmony with nature.

आज़ादी कोई ऐसी स्थिर चीज़ नहीं है जिसे हम या तो "रखते हैं" या हमारे पास "नहीं होती"। असल में, "आज़ादी" नाम की कोई चीज़ तब तक नहीं है जब तक वह महज़ एक शब्द और अमूर्त विचार है। केवल एक ही सच्चाई है: फैसले लेते हुए खुद को आज़ाद करने की प्रक्रिया। इस प्रक्रिया में फैसले लेने की हमारी क्षमता का स्तर हर काम के साथ और जीवन के हमारे अनुभवों के साथ बदलता रहता है।

Freedom is not a constant attribute which we either "have" or "have not." In fact, there is no such thing as "freedom" except as a word and an abstract concept. There is only one reality: the act of freeing ourselves in the process of making choices. In this process the degree of our capacity to make choices varies with each act, with our practice of life.

बिना जिए मरने का विचार असहनीय है, जबकि मरना बेहद पीड़ादायक होता है।

To die is poignantly bitter, but the idea of having to die without having lived is unbearable.

मनुष्य विनाश, घृणा, ईर्ष्या और बदले की अपनी अतार्किक भावनाओं को दबाता है; वह ताकत, पैसे, संप्रभुता और राष्ट्र की पूजा करता है; हालाँकि वह बुद्ध, भविष्यवक्ताओं, सुकरात, ईसा मसीह और पैग़ंबर मोहम्मद जैसे इंसानी इतिहास के महान आध्यात्मिक गुरुओं की शिक्षाओं के प्रति जुबानी जमा-खर्च तो करता है—मगर उसने इन शिक्षाओं को अंधविश्वास और मूर्तिपूजा के जंगल में बदल दिया है। बौद्धिक-तकनीकी अति-परिपक्वता और भावनात्मक पिछड़ेपन के बीच के इस भारी अंतर से मानवता खुद को तबाह होने से कैसे बचा सकती है?

Man represses the irrational passions of destructiveness, hate, envy, revenge; he worships power, money, the sovereign state, the nation; while he pays lip service to the teachings of the great spiritual leaders of the human race, those of Buddha, the prophets, Socrates, Jesus, Mohammed-he has transformed these teachings into a jungle of superstition and idol-worship. How can mankind save itself from destroying itself by this discrepancy between intellectual-technical overmaturity and emotional backwardness?

आज़ाद इंसान का असुरक्षित होना लाज़मी है, और सोचने वाले इंसान का अनिश्चित होना तय है।

Free man is by necessity insecure, thinking man by necessity uncertain.

भले ही इंसान की भूख, प्यास और यौन इच्छाएं पूरी तरह तृप्त हो जाएं, फिर भी 'वह' संतुष्ट नहीं होता। जानवरों के विपरीत, उसकी सबसे गंभीर समस्याएं तब हल नहीं होतीं, बल्कि वहीं से शुरू होती हैं। वह सत्ता, प्रेम या विनाश के लिए संघर्ष करता है; धार्मिक, राजनीतिक और मानवतावादी आदर्शों के लिए अपनी जान जोखिम में डालता है—और यही संघर्ष इंसानी जीवन की विशेषता और उसके अनोखेपन को तय करते हैं।

Even if man's hunger and thirst and his sexual strivings are completely satisfied, 'he' is not satisfied. In contrast to the animal his most compelling problems are not solved then, they only begin. He strives for power or for love, or for destruction, he risks his life for religious, for political, for humanistic ideals, and these strivings are what constitutes and characterizes the peculiarity of human life.

मूल रूप से, इसके केवल दो ही जवाब हो सकते हैं। पहला यह कि होश आने से पहले, यानी इंसान के पैदा होने से पहले की एकता की अवस्था में वापस जाकर अलगाव को मिटाया जाए और एकता पाई जाए। दूसरा जवाब यह है कि पूरी तरह से जन्म लिया जाए, अपनी चेतना, अपनी समझ और अपने प्रेम को इतना विकसित किया जाए कि इंसान अपने स्वार्थी दायरे से ऊपर उठकर दुनिया के साथ एक नई समरसता और एक नई एकजुटता तक पहुँच जाए।

Basically, there can only be two answers. One is to overcome separateness and find unity by regression to the state of unity which existed before awareness ever arose, that is, before man was born. The other answer is to be fully born, to develop one's awareness, one's reason, one's capacity to love to such a point that one transcends one's own egocentric involvement, and arrives at a new harmony, at a new oneness with the world.

आज के पश्चिमी समाज में भी समूह के साथ जुड़ना ही अलगाव से पार पाने का सबसे आम तरीका है। यह एक ऐसा जुड़ाव है जहाँ व्यक्ति का अपना वजूद काफी हद तक गायब हो जाता है और जिसका मकसद भीड़ का हिस्सा बनना होता है। अगर मैं बाकी सबकी तरह हूँ, अगर मेरे पास कोई ऐसी भावना या विचार नहीं है जो मुझे अलग बनाए, और अगर मैं रीति-रिवाजों, पहनावे और विचारों में समूह के सांचे में ढला हुआ हूँ, तो मैं बच जाता हूँ: अकेलेपन के उस डरावने अनुभव से सुरक्षित हो जाता हूँ।

Also in contemporary Western society the union with the group is the prevalent way of overcoming separateness. It is a union which the individual self disappears to a large extent, and where the aim is to belong to the heard. If I am like everybody else, if I have no feeling or thoughts which make me different, if I conform in custom, dress, ideas, to the pattern of the group, I am saved: saved from the frightening experience of aloneness.

सबसे क्रूर और विध्वंसक इंसान भी आखिरकार इंसान ही है, उतना ही इंसान जितना कि कोई संत।

हम सच्ची अंतरंगता के डर को मिटाते नहीं हैं, बल्कि उसकी जगह एक सतही किस्म की मिलनसारिता अपनाकर उसे छुपा लेते हैं जो कि देखने में अच्छी तो लगती है, लेकिन होती बहुत उथली है।

We substitute, or we rather hide, this fear of real intimacy by a superficial kind of friendliness, which is quite nice, but nevertheless, very shallow.

आधुनिक इंसान ने खुद को एक कमोडिटी यानी बिकाऊ वस्तु में बदल लिया है; वह अपनी जीवन-ऊर्जा को एक ऐसे निवेश के रूप में देखता है जिससे उसे अपनी स्थिति और व्यक्तित्व के बाज़ार को देखते हुए सबसे ज़्यादा मुनाफ़ा मिलना चाहिए। वह खुद से, अपने साथियों और प्रकृति से कट चुका है। उसका मुख्य उद्देश्य अपने कौशल, ज्ञान और खुद के यानी अपने "पर्सनैलिटी पैकेज" का दूसरों के साथ मुनाफे का सौदा करना है, जो खुद भी ऐसे ही निष्पक्ष और फायदेमंद सौदे की तालाश में रहते हैं। जीवन का कोई लक्ष्य नहीं बचा सिवाय आगे बढ़ते रहने के, कोई सिद्धांत नहीं सिवाय सही सौदे के, और कोई संतुष्टि नहीं सिवाय उपभोग करने के।p97

Modern man has transformed himself into a commodity; he experiences his life energy as an investment with which he should make the highest profit, considering his position and the situation on the personality market. He is alienated from himself, from his fellow men and from nature. His main aim is profitable exchange of his skills, knowledge, and of himself, his "personality package" with others who are equally intent on a fair and profitable exchange. Life has no goal except the one to move, no principle except the one of fair exchange, no satisfaction except the one to consume.p97.

प्यार अक्सर इसके अलावा कुछ नहीं होता कि दो लोग व्यक्तित्व के बाज़ार में अपनी कीमत को देखते हुए एक-दूसरे के साथ एक ऐसा फायदेमंद सौदा कर रहे हैं जिससे उन्हें अपनी उम्मीद के मुताबिक सबसे ज़्यादा हासिल हो सके।

Love is often nothing but a favorable exchange between two people who get the most of what they can expect, considering their value on the personality market.

मानव इतिहास की शुरुआत इंसान के उस अवज्ञाकारी काम से होती है जो साथ ही साथ उसकी आज़ादी और उसकी तर्कबुद्धि के विकास की भी शुरुआत है।

जैसा कि बहुत से लोग कहते हैं, आज अमेरिका में एक धार्मिक पुनरुत्थान हो रहा है। मैं तो यह कहूँगा कि इस धार्मिक पुनरुत्थान का नब्बे प्रतिशत हिस्सा सच्ची धार्मिक भावना के सामने अब तक का सबसे बड़ा खतरा है।

We have a religious renaissance today in America, as many people say. I would say this religious renaissance, ninety percent of it is the greatest danger true religious experience has ever been confronted with.

धर्म और राष्ट्रवाद, साथ ही कोई भी ऐसा रिवाज़ और विश्वास जो चाहे कितना भी बेतुका और गिरा हुआ क्यों न हो, यदि वह व्यक्ति को दूसरों से जोड़ता है, तो वे उस चीज़ से बचने की शरणस्थली हैं जिससे इंसान सबसे ज़्यादा डरता है: अकेलापन।

Religion and nationalism, as well as any custom and any belief however absurd and degrading, if it only connects the individual with others, are refuges from what man most dreads: isolation.

मेरा मानना है कि प्रेम का अनुभव करना इंसान के लिए सबसे मानवीय और इंसान को इंसान बनाने वाला कार्य है, और यह कि समझ की तरह, अगर इसे सीमित या अधूरे रूप में देखा जाए तो इसका कोई मतलब नहीं रह जाता।

I believe that the experience of love is the most human and humanizing act that it is given to man to enjoy and that it, like reason, makes no sense if conceived in a partial way.

बीमार व्यक्ति खुद को अन्य सभी वैसे ही बीमार लोगों के बीच सहज महसूस करता है। पूरी संस्कृति ही इस प्रकार की विकृति के अनुकूल ढली हुई है। परिणाम यह होता है कि आम इंसान वह अकेलापन और अलगाव महसूस नहीं करता जो एक पूरी तरह से सिज़ोफ्रेनिक व्यक्ति महसूस करता है। वह उन लोगों के बीच सहज महसूस करता है जो उसी विकृति से जूझ रहे हैं; वास्तव में, इस पागल समाज में अकेलापन तो पूरी तरह से स्वस्थ इंसान महसूस करता है—और हो सकता है कि वह संवाद करने की अक्षमता से इतना परेशान हो जाए कि अंततः वही मानसिक रूप से बीमार (साइकोटिक) हो जाए।

The sick individual finds himself at home with all other similarly sick individuals. The whole culture is geared to this kind of pathology. The result is that the average individual does not experience the separateness and isolation the fully schizophrenic person feels. He feels at ease among those who suffer from the same deformation; in fact, it is the fully sane person who feels isolated in the insane society - and he may suffer so much from the incapacity to communicate that it is he who may become psychotic.

यदि जीवन का अर्थ संदिग्ध हो गया है, यदि दूसरों के साथ और खुद के साथ आपके संबंध सुरक्षा का अहसास नहीं कराते, तो प्रसिद्धि आपके इन संदेहों को चुप कराने का एक जरिया है। इसकी भूमिका की तुलना मिस्र के पिरामिडों या अमरता में ईसाई आस्था से की जा सकती है: यह किसी व्यक्ति के सीमित और अस्थिर जीवन को उठाकर अमरता के स्तर पर पहुँचा देती है; यदि आपके समकालीन आपको जानते हैं और आपको उम्मीद है कि सदियों तक आपका नाम याद रखा जाएगा, तो दूसरों की नजरों में मिलने वाली इसी स्वीकृति के बूते आपके जीवन का एक अर्थ और महत्व बन जाता है।

If the meaning of life has become doubtful, if one's relations to others and to oneself do not offer security, then fame is one means to silence one's doubts. It has a function to be compared with that of the Egyptian pyramids or the Christian faith in immortality: it elevates one's individual life from its limitations and instability to the plane of indestructability; if one's name is known to one's contemporaries and if one can hope that it will last for centuries, then one's life has meaning and significance by this very reflection of it in the judgments of others.

मुझे लगता है कि अमेरिकी इंसान अक्सर अनजाने में अपने काम से नफरत करता है, क्योंकि उसे लगता है कि वह उसमें फंस गया है... उससे बंधा हुआ महसूस करता है... क्योंकि उसे लगता है कि वह अपनी ज़्यादातर ऊर्जा किसी ऐसी चीज़ में खर्च कर रहा है जिसका अपने आप में कोई मतलब नहीं है।

I think American man unconsciously hates his work very often, because he feels trapped by it... imprisoned by it... because he feels that he is spending most of his energy for something which has no meaning in itself.

इस तरह अनुभव किया जाने वाला प्रेम एक निरंतर चुनौती है; यह रुकने की जगह नहीं है, बल्कि एक साथ मिलकर आगे बढ़ने, बढ़ने और काम करने की प्रक्रिया है; इसमें चाहे तालमेल हो या मतभेद, खुशी हो या उदासी—यह सब इस बुनियादी बात के बाद गौण है कि दो लोग अपने अस्तित्व की गहराई से एक-दूसरे को महसूस करते हैं, कि वे खुद से भागने के बजाय खुद में एक होकर ही एक-दूसरे में एक हो पाते हैं।

Love, experienced thus, is a constant challenge; it is not a resting place, but a moving, growing, working together; even whether there is harmony or conflict; joy or sadness, is secondary to the fundamental fact that two people experience themselves from the essence of their existence, that they are only one with each other by being one with themselves, rather than by fleeing from themselves.

आधुनिक पूंजीवाद को ऐसे लोगों की ज़रूरत है जो बड़े पैमाने पर आसानी से तालमेल बिठा सकें; जो ज़्यादा से ज़्यादा उपभोग करना चाहते हों; और जिनके पसंद एक जैसी हों जिन्हें आसानी से प्रभावित और अनुमानित किया जा सके। इसे ऐसे लोगों की ज़रूरत है जो खुद को आज़ाद और स्वतंत्र महसूस करें, किसी भी अधिकार, सिद्धांत या अंतरात्मा के अधीन न हों—फिर भी आदेश मानने को तैयार रहें, वही करें जो उनसे उम्मीद की जाती है, बिना किसी टकराव के सामाजिक मशीनरी में फिट बैठ सकें; जिन्हें बिना किसी बल के निर्देशित किया जा सके, बिना नेताओं के आगे बढ़ाया जा सके, बिना किसी उद्देश्य के प्रेरित किया जा सके—सिवाय इसके कि सफल होना है, आगे बढ़ते रहना है, काम करते रहना है और तरक्की करनी है।

Modern capitalism needs men who cooperate smoothly and in large numbers; who want to consume more and more; and whose tastes are standardized and can be easily influenced and anticipated. It needs men who feel free and independent, not subject to any authority or principle or conscience-- yet willing to be commanded, to do what is expected of them, to fit into the social machine without friction; who can be guided without force, led without leaders, prompted without aim-- except the one to make good, to be on the move, to function, to go ahead.

न्यूरोसिस (मनोताप) को किसी व्यक्ति के भीतर चल रहे अंतर्द्वंद्वों की लड़ाई के रूप में सबसे अच्छी तरह समझा जा सकता है; चरित्र का गहरा विश्लेषण यदि सफल हो, तो समस्याओं का क्रमिक समाधान निकाल देता है।

Neurosis can be understood best as the battle between tendencies within an individual; deep character analysis leads, if successful, to the progressive solution.

मनुष्य पैदा तो समान होते हैं लेकिन वे अलग-अलग विशेषताओं के साथ भी पैदा होते हैं।

Men are born equal but they are also born different.

Men are born equal but they are also born different.

हम समानता की, ख़ुशी की, आज़ादी की—और धर्म के आध्यात्मिक मूल्यों की, तथा ईश्वर की बातें करते हैं—लेकिन अपने दैनिक जीवन में हम ऐसे सिद्धांतों पर चलते हैं जो इनसे बिल्कुल अलग और कुछ हद तक परस्पर विरोधी होते हैं।

We talk about equality, about happiness, about freedom - and about the spiritual values of religion, and about God - and in our daily life, we act on principles which are different, and partly contradictory.

देना ही किसी की क्षमता या शक्ति का सर्वोच्च रूप है। देने के इसी कार्य में मुझे अपनी ताकत, अपनी समृद्धि और अपनी शक्ति का अहसास होता है। जीवन और शक्ति के इस बढ़े हुए अहसास से मैं आनंद से भर जाता हूँ। मैं महसूस करता हूँ कि मेरे भीतर ऊर्जा उमड़ रही है, मैं उसे खुलकर बहा रहा हूँ, जीवित हूँ, और इसलिए बेहद प्रसन्न हूँ।

Giving is the highest expression of potency. In the very act of giving, I experience my strength, my wealth, my power. This experience of heightened vitality and potency fills me with joy. I experience myself as overflowing, spending, alive, hence as joyous.

मानव इतिहास की शुरुआत एक अवज्ञा से हुई थी, और इस बात से इंकार नहीं किया जा सकता कि इसका अंत किसी आज्ञापालन के साथ हो।

Human history began with an act of disobedience and it is not unlikely that it will be terminated by an act of obedience.

क्या किसी के पास प्रेम हो सकता है? यदि ऐसा हो सकता, तो प्रेम को एक वस्तु होना पड़ता, एक ऐसा पदार्थ जिसे कोई पा सके, अपना सके, और उस पर अधिकार जमा सके। सच तो यह है कि प्रेम जैसी कोई चीज़ होती ही नहीं। प्रेम एक अमूर्त विचार है, शायद कोई देवी या कोई पराया जीव, हालाँकि आज तक किसी ने उस देवी को देखा नहीं है। वास्तविकता में, केवल प्रेम करने की क्रिया का अस्तित्व है। प्रेम करना एक सृजनात्मक गतिविधि है। इसका अर्थ है किसी व्यक्ति, पेड़, पेंटिंग या विचार की परवाह करना, उसे जानना, उसके प्रति प्रतिक्रिया देना, उसे स्वीकार करना और उसका आनंद लेना। इसका अर्थ है जीवन का संचार करना, उसकी जीवंतता को बढ़ाना। यह एक ऐसी प्रक्रिया है जो स्वयं को निरंतर नवीकृत और समृद्ध करती रहती है।

Can one have love? If we could, love would need to be a thing, a substance that one can have, own, possess. The truth is, there is no such thing as love. Love is an abstraction, perhaps a goddess or an alien being, although nobody has ever seen this goddess. In reality, there exists only the act of loving. To love is a productive activity. It implies caring for, knowing, responding, affirming, enjoying: the person, the tree, the painting, the idea. It means bringing to life, increasing his/her/its aliveness. It is a process, self-renewing and self increasing.

मनोविश्लेषण मूल रूप से अचेतन इच्छाओं, प्रतिरोध और किसी व्यक्ति की अपनी आत्मनिष्ठ (सब्जेक्टिव) जरूरतों और अपेक्षाओं के अनुसार वास्तविकता को तोड़-मरोड़ कर पेश करने का सिद्धांत है।

Psychoanalysis is essentially a theory of unconscious strivings, of resistance, of falsification of reality according to one's subjective needs and expectations.

मैं कहूँगा कि हमारे सामाजिक संबंध अपेक्षाकृत सतही हैं। हम वास्तव में लोगों के करीब जाने से डरते हैं - बहुत से लोग तो अपने जीवनसाथियों से भी डरते हैं।

I would say our social relationships are relatively shallow. We are actually afraid to be intimate, with people - many people even with their wives and husbands.

लोगों ने प्रेम, शक्ति, प्रसिद्धि और बदले की अपनी तीव्र इच्छाओं को पूरा करने में असफल होने पर आत्महत्या की है। यौन संतुष्टि की कमी के कारण आत्महत्या का एक भी मामला शायद ही कभी देखने को मिलता है।

People have committed suicide because of their failure to realize the passions for love , power , fame , revenge . Cases of suicide because of a lack of sexual satisfaction are virtually nonexistent.

विवेक, तर्कसंगत विचारों और भावनाओं के मेल से उत्पन्न होता है। यदि इन दोनों को अलग कर दिया जाए, तो सोच एक स्किज़ॉइड (असामाजिक) बौद्धिक गतिविधि बनकर रह जाती है और भावनाएँ एक ऐसी विक्षिप्त, जीवन-नाशक जुनून का रूप ले लेती हैं।

Reason flows from the blending of rational thought and feeling. If the two functions are torn apart, thinking deteriorates into schizoid intellectual activity and feeling deteriorates into neurotic life-damaging passions.

सत्ताप्रिय (सैडिस्टिक) व्यक्ति समर्पण करने वाले (मैसोकिस्टिक) व्यक्ति पर उतना ही निर्भर रहता है जितना कि वह उस पर; दोनों में से कोई भी एक-दूसरे के बिना जीवित नहीं रह सकता। अंतर केवल इतना है कि सत्ताप्रिय व्यक्ति आदेश देता है, शोषण करता है, चोट पहुँचाता है और अपमानित करता है, जबकि समर्पण करने वाला व्यक्ति आदेश सुनता है, शोषित होता है, आहत होता है और अपमानित होता है। व्यावहारिक दृष्टि से यह एक बहुत बड़ा अंतर है; लेकिन गहरे भावनात्मक स्तर पर, यह अंतर उतना बड़ा नहीं है जितना कि उन दोनों में यह समानता कि वे बिना किसी अपनेपन के एक-दूसरे में पूरी तरह घुले-मले हैं।

The sadistic person is as dependent on the submissive person as the latter is on the former; neither can live without the other. The difference is only that the sadistic person commands, exploits, hurts, humiliates, and that the masochistic person is commanded, exploited, hurt, humiliated. This is a considerable difference in a realistic sense; in a deeper emotional sense, the difference is not so great as that which they both have in common: fusion without integrity .

मैं कहूँगा कि कभी लोकतंत्र का अर्थ एक ऐसा संगठित समाज और राज्य हुआ करता था जहाँ एक आम नागरिक स्वयं को ज़िम्मेदार मानता था, ज़िम्मेदारी से काम करता था और निर्णय लेने की प्रक्रिया में भाग लेता था।

I would say democracy once meant an organizational society and a state, in which the individual citizen is - feels - responsible, and acts responsibly, and participates in decision-making.

आज हम समानता की बहुत बात करते हैं, लेकिन मुझे लगता है कि ज़्यादातर लोग इससे 'एकरूपता' का अर्थ निकालते हैं—यानी हर कोई एक जैसा हो—और उन्हें डर रहता है कि यदि वे एक जैसे नहीं हैं, तो वे समान भी नहीं हैं।

Today, we talk a lot about equality, but I think what most people mean by it is sameness - that everybody is the same - and they are afraid if they are not the same, they are not equal.

मेरा मानना ​​है कि कोई भी व्यक्ति किसी दूसरे के लिए चुनाव करके उसका "उद्धार" नहीं कर सकता। उसकी मदद करने के लिए, वह बिना किसी बनावट और भ्रम के, पूरी ईमानदारी और स्नेह के साथ उसके सामने संभावित विकल्प रख सकता है।

I believe that none can "save" his fellow man by making a choice for him. To help him, he can indicate the possible alternatives, with sincerity and love, without being sentimental and without illusion.

जीवन की कठिनाइयों, असफलताओं और दुखों को पार करने की एक चुनौती के रूप में स्वीकार करना, न कि इसे किसी अनुचित सज़ा के रूप में देखना जो हमारे साथ नहीं होनी चाहिए, हमारे भीतर विश्वास और साहस पैदा करता है और हमें कमज़ोर के बजाय मज़बूत बनाता है।

To take the difficulties, setbacks and sorrows of life as a challenge to overcome makes us stronger, rather than unjust punishment which should not happen to us, requires faith and courage.

यदि आस्था का तालमेल तर्कसंगत सोच से न बैठ पाए, तो संस्कृति के पिछले चरणों के एक पुराने अवशेष के रूप में उसे हटा देना चाहिए और उसकी जगह ऐसे विज्ञान को लाना चाहिए जो तथ्यों और सिद्धांतों पर आधारित हो, जिसे समझा जा सके और जिसकी सत्यता साबित की जा सके।

If faith cannot be reconciled with rational thinking, it has to be eliminated as an anachronistic remnant of earlier stages of culture and replaced by science dealing with facts and theories which are intelligible and can be validated.

मनुष्य कभी एक जगह स्थिर नहीं रह सकता। उसे इस अंतर्विरोध का कोई न कोई समाधान निकालना ही होगा, और वास्तविकता उसे जितनी छूट देती है, उसे उतने ही बेहतर समाधान तलाशने होंगे।

कार्ल मार्क्स के लिए जो चीज़ मायने रखती है, वह है मनुष्य। वह हर चीज़ की जड़ है; जबकि पूँजीवाद के लिए, मुख्य उद्देश्य वस्तुएँ और मुनाफ़ा है, और मनुष्य उन्हें हासिल करने का केवल एक ज़रिया भर है। एक सच्चे धार्मिक व्यक्ति के रूप में, मार्क्स "धर्म" के खिलाफ़ होने के अलावा और कुछ हो ही नहीं सकते थे।

For [Karl] Marx what counts is man. He is the root of everything;while for capitalism, the aim are things, profit, and man is only a means to gain them. As an authentically religious individual, Marx could not be other than against "religion".

मेरे अनुसार, सिगमंड फ़्रायड इस बात पर ध्यान नहीं दे पाए कि सपने हमारे भीतर के अनुभवों को एक प्रतीकात्मक रूप में व्यक्त करते हैं, जो इस मामले में कविता या कला के अन्य रूपों से मिलते-जुलते हैं।

आधुनिक मनुष्य की खुशी दुकानों की खिड़कियों को देखने के रोमांच में और नकद या किस्तों पर अपनी क्षमता के मुताबिक सब कुछ खरीद लेने में निहित है।

Modern man's happiness consists in the thrill of looking at the shop windows, and in buying all that he can afford to buy, either for cash or on installments.

हम चीज़ों के पीछे भागे जा रहे हैं। हम सफलता के पीछे भागे जा रहे हैं। हम पैसों के पीछे भागे जा रहे हैं। हम केवल ज़रिओं और साधनों में उलझ कर रह गए हैं।

प्रथम विश्व युद्ध के दौरान ब्रिटिश प्रचार तंत्र को बेल्जियम के बच्चों को संगीनों पर भूनने वाले जर्मन सैनिकों की झूठी कहानियाँ गढ़नी पड़ी थीं, क्योंकि दुश्मन के प्रति नफरत की आग को भड़काने के लिए वास्तविक अत्याचार बहुत कम थे।

In the first World War British propaganda had to invent the stories of German soldiers bayoneting Belgian babies, because there were too few real atrocities to feed the hatred against the enemy.

मुझे लगता है कि सबसे बड़ी गलतफहमी उन मानवीय आवश्यकताओं के बीच भ्रम पैदा करने में है जिन्हें मैं मानव स्वभाव का हिस्सा मानता हूँ, और उन मानवीय आवश्यकताओं के बीच है जो इतिहास के किसी भी दौर में प्रवृत्तियों, ज़रूरतों या जुनून आदि के रूप में सामने आती हैं।

The most important misunderstanding seems to me to lie in a confusion between the human necessities which I consider part of human nature, and the human necessities as they appear as drives, needs, passions, etc., in any given historical period.

दूसरों में, खुद में और पूरी मानवता में हमारी आस्था सिर्फ इस हद तक होती है—और उसी अनुपात में होती है—जितना हमने खुद के भीतर अपनी क्षमताओं के विकास, अपनी वृद्धि की सच्चाई और अपनी तर्क-शक्ति तथा प्रेम के सामर्थ्य को अनुभव किया है।

We have faith in the potentialities of others, of ourselves, and of mankind because, and only to the degree to which, we have experienced the growth of our own potentialities, the reality of growth in ourselves, the strength of our own power of reason and love.

[सिग्मंड फ्रायड] सपनों की व्याख्या को बेहद सरल बना देते हैं: इसके मूल में यह पता लगाना होता है कि सपनों में कौन-सी अचेतन इच्छाएँ छिपी हैं, जो विकृत तो हैं पर पहचानी जा सकती हैं। इसके विपरीत, मेरे लिए सपना उन विचारों और संवेदनाओं का मिश्रण है जो मनुष्य को सोते समय महसूस होते हैं, जो समाज के निरंतर शोरगुल से तुलनात्मक रूप से सुरक्षित एक मानसिक स्थिति है।

[Sigmund Freud] makes the interpretation of dreams extremely simple: it deals in substance with discovering what unconscious desires, distorted but recognizable, are hid-den in the dream. Instead, for me the dream is a mixture of thoughts and sensations that man has when he is asleep, a mental state relatively protected from the constant noise that society makes.

नर और नारी के मूल सिद्धांतों का वही द्वैत प्रकृति में भी मौजूद है; न केवल पौधों और जानवरों में, जैसा कि स्पष्ट है, बल्कि ग्रहण करने और प्रवेश करने—इन दो बुनियादी कार्यों के द्वैत में भी। यह धरती और बारिश का, नदी और महासागर का, रात और दिन का, अंधेरे और प्रकाश का, तथा जड़ और चैतन्य का द्वैत है।

The same polarity of the male and female principle exists in nature; not only, as is obvious in animals and plants, but in the polarity of the two fundamental functions, that of receiving and penetrating. It is the polarity of earth and rain, of the river and the ocean, of night and day, of darkness and light, of matter and spirit.

समाजशास्त्र पर मनोविश्लेषण के अनुप्रयोग को इस गलती से अवश्य बचना चाहिए कि वह वहाँ मनोविश्लेषणात्मक जवाब तलाशने लगे जहाँ आर्थिक, तकनीकी या राजनीतिक तथ्य ही समाजशास्त्रीय प्रश्नों की वास्तविक और पर्याप्त व्याख्या देते हैं। दूसरी ओर, मनोविश्लेषक को इस बात पर जोर देना चाहिए कि समाजशास्त्र का विषय यानी 'समाज', वास्तव में व्यक्तियों से मिलकर बना है, और अमूर्त समाज के बजाय ये इंसान ही हैं जिनके कर्म, विचार और भावनाएँ समाजशास्त्रीय शोध का केंद्रबिंदु हैं।

The application of psychoanalysis to sociology must definitely guard against the mistake of wanting to give psychoanalytic answers where economic, technical, or political facts provide the real and sufficient explanation of sociological questions. On the other hand, the psychoanalyst must emphasize that the subject of sociology, society, in reality consists of individuals, and that it is these human beings, rather than abstract society as such, whose actions, thoughts, and feelings are the object of sociological research.

प्यार कोई सहज या प्राकृतिक चीज़ नहीं है। बल्कि इसके लिए अनुशासन, एकाग्रता, धैर्य, विश्वास और अपने अहंकार (नार्सिसिज्म) पर काबू पाने की जरूरत होती है। यह कोई भावना नहीं है, बल्कि एक साधना है।

Love isn't something natural. Rather it requires discipline, concentration, patience, faith, and the overcoming of narcissism. It isn't a feeling, it is a practice.

Love isn't something natural. Rather it requires discipline, concentration, patience, faith, and the overcoming of narcissism. It isn't a feeling, it is a practice.

क्या प्यार कोई कला है? तो इसके लिए ज्ञान और प्रयास की आवश्यकता होती है। प्रेम कोई स्वतःस्फूर्त भावना नहीं है, कोई ऐसी चीज़ नहीं है जिसमें आप अनायास 'पड़' जाते हैं, बल्कि यह एक ऐसी चीज़ है जिसके लिए विचार, ज्ञान, परवाह, देने की भावना और सम्मान की जरूरत होती है। और यह पूंजीवाद के दौर में पाना दुर्लभ और कठिन है, जो मानवीय गतिविधियों को भी एक वस्तु (कमोडिटी) बना देता है।

Is love an art? Then it requires knowledge and effort. Love is not a spontaneous feeling, a thing that you fall into, but is something that requires thought, knowledge, care, giving, and respect. And it is something that is rare and difficult to find in capitalism, which commodifies human activity.

कई मनोचिकित्सक और मनोवैज्ञानिक इस विचार को स्वीकार करने से इनकार करते हैं कि पूरा समाज ही मानसिक रूप से अस्वस्थ हो सकता है। उनका मानना ​​है कि समाज में मानसिक स्वास्थ्य की समस्या केवल 'असमायोजित' (अनएडजस्टेड) व्यक्तियों की संख्या से जुड़ी है, न कि खुद उस संस्कृति की किसी संभावित विकृति से।

Many psychiatrists and psychologists refuse to entertain the idea that society as a whole may be lacking in sanity. They hold that the problem of mental health in a society is only that of the number of 'unadjusted' individuals, and not of a possible unadjustment of the culture itself.

जीवन की ओर बढ़ने की प्रवृत्ति जितनी अधिक रोकी जाती है, विनाश की प्रवृत्ति उतनी ही प्रबल हो जाती है; जीवन जितना अधिक फलता-फूलता है, विध्वंस की ताकत उतनी ही कम हो जाती है। विध्वंसकता, न जिए गए जीवन का परिणाम है।

अगर दूसरे लोग हमारे व्यवहार को नहीं समझते हैं—तो क्या हुआ? उनकी यह जिद कि हमें वही करना चाहिए जो उनकी समझ में आए, हम पर हुक्म चलाने की एक कोशिश है। यदि उनकी नजर में यह 'असामाजिक' होना या 'तर्कहीन' होना है, तो यही सही। ज्यादातर मामलों में वे हमारी आज़ादी और खुद जैसे होने के हमारे साहस से जलते हैं। जब तक हमारे कामों से उन्हें कोई ठेस नहीं पहुँचती या उनका हक नहीं छिनता, तब तक हम किसी को भी कोई सफाई या हिसाब देने के लिए बाध्य नहीं हैं।

If other people do not understand our behavior-so what? Their request that we must only do what they understand is an attempt to dictate to us. If this is being 'asocial' or 'irrational' in their eyes, so be it. Mostly they resent our freedom and our courage to be ourselves. We owe nobody an explanation or an accounting, as long as our acts do not hurt or infringe on them.
