Category: The School Of Life!

Life is an endless voyage!! A voyage for which even the skilled mariner cant build a compass predicting the exact directions it may take! No cartographer has ever drawn an atlas locating the territories we may travel to! Because in the voyage of life your fortunes will travel up north one Sunday and on Monday it will head south bringing you misfortunes! You might have planned ahead to reach the summit but the voyage of life would have another plans taking you to uncharted territories when you least expect it! The Schools or the Streets don’t provide you answers for the questions life throws at you!! Not Self help books but the Past masters who summed up the meaning of life succinctly in beautiful verses are your Beacons of Hope here! Through their clairvoyance they convey great lessons about what really matters in life aphoristically but cryptically of course!!

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.

Only through experience of

trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened,

ambition inspired, and success achieved.

रात गवाई सोए के, दिवस गवाया खाए।
हीरा जन्म अमोल सा , कोड़ी बदले जाए।

व्याख्या – इंसान अपनी जिंदगी को रात में सोने में व् दिन में खाने में गुजार देता है।

इस तरह वह इस हीरे जैसे जन्म को कोड़ी में बदल देता है।

कहने का भाव है कि जिंदगी को बेकार में व्यर्थ नहीं करना चाहिए।

English meaning – A man spends his life in sleeping and eating.

He doesn’t do anything worth-doing.

In this way he whiled away this gem-like-life

and converted it into a cowery ( a worthless thing).

~Kabir

रहिमन धागा प्रेम का मत तोड़ो चटकाय
टूटे से फिर ना जुड़े जुड़े गांठ परि जाये
– रहीम

अर्थ- रहिम कहते हैं कि प्रेम का धागा नहीं तोड़ना चाहिए

क्योंकि यह फिर नहीं जुड़ता

और जुड़ता है तो उसमें गांठ पड़ जाती है)

Meaning – Don’t snap off the thread of love,

For once broken,

it can’t be joined, and though joined it leaves a knot.

Rahim

प्रेम ना बारी उपजै प्रेम ना हाट बिकाय
राजा प्रजा जेहि रुचै,शीश देयी ले जाय।
– कबीर
अर्थ – (प्रेम ना तो खेत में पैदा होता है

और न ही बाजार में विकता है।

राजा या प्रजा जो भी प्रेम का

इच्छुक हो वह अपना सर्वस्व

त्याग कर प्रेम प्राप्त कर सकता है।)

Meaning – Love does not grow on trees

or brought in the market,

but if one wants to be “loved”

one must first know

how to give unconditional love.
