Love one another,
But make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be moving see between
The shores of
Your souls.

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!!
Belief
When Love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you, yield to him .
you need to him.
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks of you,
believe in him.
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
as the north wind Lays waste the garden.

Kabir: Songs of a weaver-11
He wove the sheet
So fine, so fine,
What was the wrap?
What was the weft?
What was the thread
With which he wove the sheet?
Eda and pingla,
The warp, the weft
Sushumna the thread
With which he wove the sheet.
He spins the eight petalled lotus ,
As his spinning wheel,
With five elements
And three great qualities
He weaves the sheet.
He weaves the sheet through 10 months
Inner in a mothers womb,
Beating in the weft,
Testing and checking
Every strand,
He weaves the sheet
Saints and humans.
Wrap themselves in his sheet,
But the wrapping soils the sheet
So fine, So fine.
His servant Kabir
Wraps himself in the sheet
With effort and care,
He keeps it spotlessly clean,
this sheet, so fine,, So fine
Kabir Vachanavali,
Refrain: jhini jhini bini chadariya.
Behind the veil
All that you think
is rain is not.
Behind the veil
angels sometimes weep.
Rumi ❤️❤️
Discard yourself
Discard yourself and
thereby regain yourself.
Spread the trap of
humility and ensnare love.
Rumi ❤️❤️
The soul
The soul has been
given its own ears
to hear things mind
does not understand.
Rumi ❤️❤️
Worship
The leaf becomes flower
when it loves.
The flower becomes fruit
when it worships .
Rabindranath Tagore
Call
Respond to every
call that excites
your spirit.
Rumi ❤️❤️
The universe
Those little things that you alone see,
are not by chance. The sign, the squirrel,
the dragonfly, the whisper, the song, the
Lily , it’s me. I am always with you. I will
do anything to reach you –Or give you
hope, keep you on track, answer you
questions. Look even closer.
