मुझे कई अलग-अलग जगहों के लोगों को जानना बहुत पसंद है। ऐसा लगता है जैसे यह दुनिया एक बहुत बड़ा शहर है जहाँ आप बार-ए-बार ऐसे लोगों से मिलते रहते हैं जिनसे आप पहले अलग-अलग शहरों में मिल चुके हैं। यह काफी अजीब है, लेकिन बहुत अच्छा भी है।

कोशिश करें कि अब से अपनी जिंदगी को एक समर्पित जीवन बनाएं; ताकि जब जीवन का सूरज ढलने को हो, चारों तरफ धुंध और काले बादल छाए हों, तो दुःख के वे बादल भी सुनहरी रोशनी से घिर जाएं। इस तरह आपकी तीर्थयात्रा रूपी जीवन का संगीत हमेशा सबसे मधुर और सुरीला रहेगा। उसमें कोई भी बेसुरी या कर्कश आवाज नहीं होगी; बल्कि आपकी जिंदगी के तमाम अलग-अलग रंग मिलकर एक निरंतर चलने वाली जीवन-संगीत की धुन बनाएंगे; जो मौत के वक्त एक पल के लिए थम जाएगी, और फिर स्वर्गदूतों के साथ दोबारा गूंज उठेगी, और आपके पिता के घर की अनंत धुनों में घुल-मिल जाएगी।

Seek to make life henceforth a consecrated thing; that so, when the sunset is nearing, with its murky vapors and lowering skies, the very clouds of sorrow may be fringed with golden light. Thus will the song in the house of your pilgrimage be always the truest harmony. It will be composed of no jarring, discordant notes; but with all its varied tones will form one sustained, life-long melody; dropped for a moment in death, only to be resumed with the angels, and blended with the everlasting cadences of your Father's house.

व्यापारिक संगीत की दुनिया, जिसका मैं इतने वर्षों से हिस्सा था, ने अपनी चमक खो दी थी। मेरा ध्यान ऐसा संगीत बनाने पर केंद्रित हो गया जो मस्तिष्क की तरंगों को धीमा कर दे, और उस स्थिति को प्रेरित करे जो ध्यान (मेडिटेशन) लगाने के समय होती है।

अजीब नजरों वाले अजनबी लोग अपने कमरों में अपने फोटोग्राफी के सामान के साथ मुझे आने देने में बेहद मददगार साबित हुए। उन्होंने मुझे पर्दे उतारने, खिड़कियाँ धोने और फर्नीचर को दोबारा व्यवस्थित करने दिया। अक्सर, उन्होंने अपने उस दृश्य को दूसरों के साथ साझा करने की इच्छा भी जताई, मानो वह कोई कभी न खत्म होने वाला खजाना हो। मुझे यह विचार बहुत पसंद आया कि मेरे फोटोग्राफी के एंगल केवल मेरे द्वारा तय नहीं किए गए थे। वे दूसरों द्वारा, कभी-कभी तो सालों पहले, तय किए गए थे और मेरे उन्हें खोजने का धैर्यपूर्वक इंतजार कर रहे थे।

Strangers with puzzled looks were amazingly cooperative in letting me into their rooms with my photographic gear. They let me take down the curtains, wash the windows, and rearrange the furniture. Often, too, they expressed their desire to share their view with others, as if it were a non-depletable treasure. I liked the idea that my photographic vantage points were not solely determined by myself. They were predetermined by others, sometimes years earlier, and patiently waited for me to discover them.

वास्तव में, प्रकृति जहाँ नई संरचनाएँ गढ़ने में अद्भुत रूप से रचनात्मक है, वहीं पुरानी संरचनाओं को सहेज कर रखने में उसकी जिद उससे भी कहीं अधिक उल्लेखनीय है। विकास की इस क्रमिक यात्रा में वह कोई प्रयोग एक बार पूरी गहराई से करती है, और फिर वह मुद्दा हमेशा के लिए हल हो जाता है। क्योंकि वह उस प्रयोग को पूरी तरह परखने के लिए हमेशा पर्याप्त समय लेती है। रीढ़ की हड्डी या मस्तिष्क का निर्माण कैसे हो, यह सीखने में युगों लग गए, लेकिन जब वह प्रयोग पूरा हुआ तो उसके पास संतुष्ट होने की पूरी वजह थी, और वह संतुष्ट हुई भी।

Indeed, while Nature is wonderfully inventive of new structures, her conservatism in holding on to old ones is still more remarkable. In the ascending line of development she tries an experiment once exceedingly thorough, and then the question is solved for all time. For she always takes time enough to try the experiment exhaustively. It took ages to find how to build a spinal column or brain, but when the experiment was finished she had reason to be, and was, satisfied.

कोशिका पशु जगत का सबसे पहला आविष्कार थी, और सभी उच्च कोटि के जीव कोशिकीय संरचना से बने हैं और होने भी चाहिए। हमारे ऊतक युगों-युगों पहले बने थे; वे आज भी वैसे ही कायम हैं। हमारे अधिकांश अंग उतने ही पुराने हैं जितने कि कीड़े। ये सभी बहुत पुराने हैं, पहाड़ों से भी पुराने।

The cell was the first invention of the animal kingdom, and all higher animals are and must be cellular in structure. Our tissues were formed ages on ages ago; they have all persisted. Most of our organs are as old as worms. All these are very old, older than the mountains.

मैंने कभी संगीत की दुनिया में आने की उम्मीद नहीं की थी, लेकिन मुझे खुशी है कि ऐसा हुआ। यह एक बहुत ही शानदार अनुभव था। यह तो बस मेरा एक शौक था। मैं लड़कियों से मिलने के लिए ऐसा किया करता था। अगर आपके बाल लंबे हैं और आप गिटार बजा सकते हैं, तो लड़कियाँ आपसे पट जाती थीं। यहीं से मैंने शुरुआत की। फिर मुझे संगीत से प्यार हो गया और मैं इसमें पूरी तरह डूब गया।

I never really expected any of the music business to happen, but I'm glad it did. It was a very cool thing to happen. It was a hobby for me. I used to do it to meet girls.

I had never really given any thought to working for the CIA, but graduation was upon me; I was getting married just a week or two after graduation; I had no job, no prospects for a job. And so I said sure, I'd be interested in working for the CIA.
