शुभ अक्षय तृतीया !! Shubh Akshay Tritiya !! 26.4.2020

“न क्षयति इति अक्षय”

 अर्थात जिसका कभी क्षय न हो उसे अक्षय कहते हैं वैशाख शुक्ल पक्ष की तृतीया को अक्षय तृतीया के नाम से जाना जाता है। वैशाख शुक्ल पक्ष की तृतीया 26 अप्रैल 2020 को है.

 

अस्यां तिथौ क्षयमुर्पति हुतं न दत्तं। तेनाक्षयेति कथिता मुनिभिस्तृतीया॥
उद्दिष्य दैवतपितृन्क्रियते मनुष्यैः। तत् च अक्षयं भवति भारत सर्वमेव॥
 
इस दिन से प्रारम्भ किए गए कार्य अथवा इस दिन को किए गए दान का कभी भी क्षय नहीं होता। इस दिन किये गये  शुभ कार्य का फल व पुण्य अक्षय होता है। इसी कारण इसे अक्षय तृतीया कहा जाता है।

 

दानेन भुतानि वशीभवन्ति दानेन वैराण्यपि यान्ति नाशम्।
परोऽपि बन्धुत्वमुपैति दानैर्दान हि सर्वव्यसनानि हन्ति॥

Transliteration:
dānena bhūtāni vaśībhavanti dānena vairāṇyapi yānti nāśam।
paro’pi bandhutvamupaiti dānairdāna hi sarvavyasanāni hanti॥

Hindi translation:
दान से सभी प्राणी वश होते है; दान से बैर (शत्रुताओं) का नाश होता है।
दान से शत्रु भी भाई बन जाता है; दान से सभी व्यसनों का नाश होता है॥

English translation:
A charity can subdue any creature, a charity can eliminate enemies and make them allies. A charity indeed is the cure for all bad things.

रश्क

 

Let go of your worries

Let go of your worries.

and be completely clear-hearted,

like the face of a mirror.

that contains no images.

If you want a clear mirror,

behold yourself

and see the shameless truth,

which the mirror reflects.

If metal can be polished

to a mirror-like finish,

what polishing might the mirror

of the heart require?

Between the mirror and the heart

is this single difference:

the heart conceals secrets,

while the mirror does not.

The Divani Shamsi Tabriz, XIII

Stay happy, healthy and safe -32

The human spirit is tremendously resilient.

It can withstand the most horrific of circumstances,

whether of human or divine creation…

It is not these larger-than-life situations that beat us.

It’s the little things.

windows !

Moonlight floods the whole sky

from horizon to horizon;

how much it can fill your room

depends on its windows.

Stay happy, healthy and safe – 31

Enjoy the little things in life,

for one day

you may look back and

realize they were the big things.

जीवन के रंग – 202

जीवन की परीक्षाओं को हँस कर,

चेहरे की मुस्कुराहट के साथ झेलना तो अपनी-अपनी आदत होती है.

जीवन ख़ुशनुमा हो तभी मुस्कुराहट हो,

यह ज़रूरी नहीं.

 

Stay happy, healthy and safe -30

Life is a long journey

so enjoy the journey

and make some

beautiful memories along the way.
