Want to be a writer ?

 

“If you want to be a writer,

you must do two things

above all others:

read a lot and write a lot.”

― Stephen King

 

Critics

निंदक नियरे राखिये, आँगन कुटी छवाय |

बिन पानी बिन साबुन, निर्मल करे सुभाव ||

Keep your critic close, you get to know your faults if someone criticizes you, and you have a chance to correct them. Give your critics shelter in your courtyard and listen to the criticism without annoyance, because critic is not your enemy, he is helping you to clean the rubbish from your life without soap and water.

~~ Kabir

जंग

 

कहते है अपनों से हुए जंग हार जाना चाहिये,

पर बार-बार  हारते हुए,

सामने वालो को भूल का एहसास ना दिलाने 

अौर बस  ढोते रहने से,

 रिश्तों मे जो जंग लग जाती है

उसका क्या?

Shanti / Peace Mantra.

      It is believed that by chanting this mantra, we move from our personal self and radiate a prayer of love for the world around us. This Sanskrit mantra  is from one of the Mangala  (auspicious) Mantra often recited after a pooja, yoga or religious ceremony.

 

स्वस्तिप्रजाभ्यः परिपालयंतां न्यायेन मार्गेण महीं महीशाः ।

गोब्राह्मणेभ्यः शुभमस्तु नित्यं लोकाः समस्ताः सुखिनोभवंतु ॥

ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः |

svasti-prajā-bhyaḥ pari-pāla-yaṁtāṁ nyāyena mārgeṇa mahīṁ mahīśāḥ |

go-brāhmaṇebhyaḥ śubham-astu nityaṁ lokāḥ samastāḥ sukhino-bhavaṁtu ||

auṁ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ |

“May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all.”

Om peace, peace, peace

 

 

दर्दे हाल

किसी का दर्दे हाल जानना है ,

तब
पास जाअो, करीब से देखो।

दूर से तो सब कुछ

सुहाना हीं सुहाना  दिखता है।

Passageways of the self

 

Journeys bring power and love back into you.

If you can’t go somewhere, move into the passageways of the self.

They are like shafts of light, always changing,

and you will change when you explore them.

~ Rumi ❤ ❤

कुछ बातें

 

उसने हँस कर कहा –
तुम्हारी कुछ बातें
मुझे समझ नहीं आतीं……….
जवाब मिला ,
तुम तो  पहेली हो।
मुझे तुम्हारी कुछ भी बातें
समझ नहीं आती।
फिर भी सुनना अच्छा लगता है………

Goodbyes

Goodbyes are only

for those who love

with their eyes.

Because…

for those who love

with their heart

and soul there is

no such thing as separation……..

~Rumi

जिंदगी के रंग – 26

 

IndiSpire – Ideas for Edition 185

Do you have that one person who was once your best companion but now a complete stranger? What changed?

जिंदगी के सफर में जब भी  रिश्तों की

कश्ती ङूबती है

कभी माँझी,  कभी मौसम अौर

कभी  नदी  के भँवर ………. बदनाम होते हैं।

पर जब नाव का  छुपा सुराख़ ही उसे

ङूबाने लगे  ,

 तब  वफा – वेवफा, टूटना – छूटना,

अपना -पराया क्या मतलब रखतें हैं?

धोखा… अविश्वास का  सुराख़…..

किसी  को मार  ङालने

के लिये अकेले हीं काफी है।

यह

    रिश्तों  को जीने  नहीं देता………
