It is not Meditation

Rekha Sahay

 

 

माला तो कर में फिरे, जीभ फिरे मुख माहि |

मनुआ तो चहुं दिश फिरे, यह तो सुमिरन नाहि ||

 

The  rotating  rosary by the hand,

(or) the tongue twisting in the mouth,

With the mind wandering everywhere,

this isn’t meditation (Oh uncouth!).

 

~~ Kabir

  6. आप ही की बात को अन्य शब्दों में कहा जाए तो – माला फेरत जुग गया, मिटा न मन का फेर; कर का मनका डारि के मन का मनका फेर ।

    1. सुंदर पंक्तियाँ !!!! बहुत धन्यवाद .
      मैंने तो बस कबीर के दोहे लिख दिये है . मुझे लगता है ऐसे अनेक महान कवि व लेखक है , जिनकी गूढ़ बातें आज भी सामयिक है . जिसे लोग नहीँ जानते या भूल गये है . बस उन्हे याद करने और याद दिलाने की कोशिश करती हूँ .

    #AnsweringTheUnanswered #Meditation

    While I am certainly not a spiritual Guru and definitely not an enlightened being , but I have every reason to be grateful to the nature or to the divine for helping me to be continuously on this auspicious path of seeking thyself for quiet sometime now.

    The very purpose of writing this blog is to answer, based on my own experiences , based on what exactly I have actually felt and subsequently understood so far , some of the very basic questions/doubts which usually bother the beginners as I sincerely wish that whosoever flag starts his/her spiritual journey ,finds absolutely no reason to quit this path.

    Hope you too will find this write up worth reading and worth sharing so that it reaches the right seekers !
