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!!

The Guest House

Rekha Sahay3 Comments

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.

Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

 

— Rumi,

Goodbyes !!!

Rekha Sahay8 Comments

Goodbyes are only for those

who love with their eyes.

Because for those who love

with heart and soul

there is no such thing as separation.

Sorrow prepares you for joy!!

Rekha Sahay4 Comments

Sorrow prepares you for joy.

It violently sweeps everything out of your house,

so that new joy can find space to enter.

It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart,

so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place.

It pulls up the rotten roots,

so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow.

Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart,

far better things will take their place.

 

 

 

Rumi ❤

Do not resist the change

Rekha Sahay8 Comments

Try not to resist the changes that come your way.

Instead let life live through you.

 And do not worry that your life is turning upside down.

How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come?

 

                    Rumi ❤ 

Your light!

Don’t you know yet

It is your light that

lights the worlds.

राधा माधव सखिन संग बिहरत कुंज कुटीर

रसिक राज रसखानि जहं कूजत कोइल कीर।

राधा, माधव एवं सखियाँ एक संग बृंदावन में वनविहार कर रहें हैं।

इस आध्यात्मिक प्रेम दृश्य देख जहां कोयल भी कूक रहीं है।

उसे देखकर रसिक कवि रसखान इस के माधुर्य में डूब जाते हैं.

Courtesy Wikipedia-रसखान (जन्म: १५४८ ई)  कृष्ण भक्त मुस्लिम कवि थे। उनका जन्म पिहानी, भारत में हुआ था। हिन्दी के कृष्ण भक्त तथा रीतिकालीन रीतिमुक्त कवियों में रसखान का अत्यंत महत्त्वपूर्ण स्थान है।

Strange Pull

Rekha Sahay8 Comments

Let yourself be

silently drawn by

the strange pull of

what you really love.

It will not lead

you astray.

I want to sing

like the birds sing,

not worrying about

who hears or what they think.

चाँद पर, स्पेस में …. लड़कियाँ

क्या यह सही है ?

आप सबों के विचार आमंत्रित है.
