Memorable Quotes from "The Great Secret"
"Love's not grown in gardens; love's not sold at market. He who wants it, king or commoner, gives his head and takes it."
Translation (Sinhala): "ආදරය උද්යානයක වගා නොකෙරේ; ආදරය වෙළඳපොළේ විකිණෙන්නේ නැත. එය අවශ්ය කරන කෙනා, රජු හෝ සාමාන්ය පුද්ගලයෙකු, ඔහුගේ හිස ලබාදී එය ගනී."
Translation (Tamil): "காதல் தோட்டங்களில் வளர்க்கப்படவில்லை; காதல் சந்தையில் விற்கப்படவில்லை. அதை விரும்பும் ஒருவர், ராஜா அல்லது சாதாரணர், தனது தலைவை வழங்கி அதை எடுக்கிறார்."
"The tale of love, untellable. Not a bit's ever told. The sweets of a dumb one—he enjoys... and smiles."
Translation (Sinhala): "ආදරයේ කතාව, කියා නොහැකි. කිසිදු කොටසක් කිසිදා කියා නැත. මූකයෙකුගේ මීවිත—ඔහු රස විඳිමින්... සිනහවෙයි."
Translation (Tamil): "காதலின் கதை, சொல்ல முடியாதது. ஒரு பாகமும் எப்போதும் சொல்லப்படவில்லை. ஒரு மூக்கனின் இனிப்புகள்—அவர் ரசித்து... சிரிக்கிறார்."
"You go in search to the temples, to the mosques, to Kashi and to Mecca; you knock on every door you come across in the hope you will find what you have lost."
Translation (Sinhala): "ඔබ විහාරස්ථාන, පල්ලියන්, කාෂි සහ මක්කා වෙත සෙවීමට යයි; ඔබ අහිමි වූ දේ සොයා ගැනීමට ඔබ හමුවන සෑම දොරකඩකම තට්ටු කරයි."
Translation (Tamil): "நீங்கள் கோவில்கள், மசூதிகள், காசி மற்றும் மெக்காவுக்கு தேடல் செல்கிறீர்கள்; நீங்கள் இழந்ததை கண்டுபிடிக்க நீங்கள் சந்திக்கும் ஒவ்வொரு கதவையும் தட்டுகிறீர்கள்."
