Values Quotes

भौतिक सुख-सुविधाओं के इस दौर में, एक ऐसी संस्कृति में जहाँ हम में से ज्यादातर लोग अपनी या खुद की कीमत इस बात से आँकते हैं कि हमारे पास क्या है, हम क्या चीजें और संपत्तियाँ रखते हैं और हमने क्या हासिल किया है, यह समझना बहुत मुश्किल है कि हमारे इस विशाल देश में ऐसे कई छोटे-छोटे समुदाय और इलाके हैं जहाँ के लोग बहुत सोच-समझकर अलग तरह के मूल्यों को अपनाए रखना चुनते हैं।

हमें बताया जाता है कि जब लोग यह स्वीकार कर लेते हैं कि मानव जगत से परे कोई दुनिया नहीं है, तो उन्हें बंधन-मुक्त दृष्टिकोण को अपनाना चाहिए। उनके अपने विश्वास और मूल्य होंगे, और वास्तव में होने भी चाहिए, लेकिन वे यह पहचानेंगे कि ये विश्वास और मूल्य मानव संकल्पों और उद्देश्यों के अलावा किसी अन्य चीज़ पर 'निर्भर नहीं हैं' - और न ही किसी अन्य के प्रति जवाबदेह हैं। रॉर्ट्री ने टिप्पणी की थी कि हमारी एकमात्र निष्ठा केवल हमारी अपनी परंपराओं के प्रति हो सकती है।

The dis-incumbenced stance is the one people should cultivate, we are told, once they recognize that there is no world beyond the human world. They will, indeed must, have their beliefs and values, but they will recognize that these 'lean upon' - and are answerable to - nothing other than human commitments and purposes. The only fidelity, Rorty remarked, can be to our own conventions.

मैं जानती हूँ कि मेरे दादाजी कभी-कभार सामाजिक मेल-जोल में शराब पी लिया करते थे, जिसे हम "एक घूंट लेना" कहते हैं। लेकिन मेरे पिता ने कभी हाथ भी नहीं लगाया। वह इसके लिए अपने दादाजी की आलोचना करते थे, और उनकी सजा यह थी कि जब दादाजी जॉर्जिया से उनसे मिलने आते थे, तो वह उन्हें अपने गिरजाघर में उपदेश देने की अनुमति नहीं देते थे। भले ही मेरे सहपाठी अक्सर मेरे सामने शराब पीते थे और मुझे भी शामिल होने की कोशिश करते थे, पर मुझे लगता था कि नहीं, मुझे इसकी कोई जरूरत नहीं है।

I know my grandfather drank occasionally socially, what we call "taking a sip." And my father never touched the bottle. He condemned my grandfather for doing that, and his punishment to his father was when my grandfather came to visit him from Georgia, he would not allow my grandfather to preach in his church.Even though my classmates very often drank alcohol in my presence and they would try and get me to join in, I felt, no, I didn't need that.

मुझे लगता है कि बौद्ध धर्म में बहुत सी अच्छी बातें हैं, ईसाई धर्म में भी बहुत सी अच्छी बातें हैं, और यहाँ तक कि किसी भी धर्म को न मानने वालों के पास भी बहुत सी अच्छी बातें हैं। यह तो बस इस बात पर निर्भर करता है कि आप अंदर से कैसा महसूस करते हैं।

आपके लिए सफलता का क्या मतलब है? हो सकता है कि सफलता की आपकी परिभाषा उस परिभाषा से बहुत अलग हो जिसे लेबल सफलता मानता है। शायद सफलता की आपकी परिभाषा बस इतनी है कि आप अपनी बाकी की जिंदगी अपनी कला के दम पर जी सकें। इस पागल कर देने वाली दुनिया के चक्कर में मत पड़िए। मैं कहूँगा कि यह सबसे महत्वपूर्ण चीज़ों में से एक है।

आजकल तस्वीरें खींचने का मुख्य मकसद सिर्फ ट्विटर या फेसबुक पर डालना रह गया है। मुझे यह बात बहुत परेशान करती है। अगर आपको कभी दलाई लामा से मिलने का मौका मिले, तो अपने कैमरे या आईफोन की सेटिंग ठीक करने में मत लग जाइए। चुपचाप बैठिए और उनकी बातें सुनिए, क्योंकि दस में से नौ बार आप उस फोटो को पलटकर देखने भी नहीं वाले। आप उस वीडियो को दोबारा नहीं देखेंगे। एक फोटोग्राफर होने के नाते, मैं अपने साथ कैमरा लेकर नहीं चलता। मेरे पास आईफोन जरूर है, लेकिन मैं कैमरा नहीं ढोता। मैं खुलकर जीना चाहता हूँ।

Now everyone's main objective of taking photographs is to have a photograph for Twitter or Facebook. I find that troubling. If you have an opportunity to meet the Dalai Lama, don't work out your camera or iPhone issues. Sit and a listen to what the man is saying, because nine times out of 10, you're not going to look at that photo. You're not going to look at the video. As a photographer, I don't carry a camera. I have my iPhone, but I don't carry a camera. I want to live.

जो काम दिल के करीब हो, उसमें अपना योगदान देना सार्थक होता है। मुझे छात्रवृत्ति मिली थी। इसलिए अगर मैं प्रतिभाशाली चीनी छात्रों को विदेश में पढ़ने का मौका देने के लिए पैसे दान करती हूँ, तो यह उन तमाम बातों को चरितार्थ करता है जिनमें मेरा विश्वास है: शिक्षा, वैश्वीकरण और सामाजिक गतिशीलता। और मैं खुद सामाजिक गतिशीलता का एक जीता-जागતા उदाहरण हूँ।
