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!!
Think twice before you keep,
the bad or good company.
the bitter neem that keeps,
the company of a sandalwood tree,
begins to smell like Sandalwood.
The piece of Iron,
that keeps the company of
the philosophers stone,
turns into gold.
Water that drain into the Ganga,
become the Ganga.
And those who keep
the Company of Almighty
says Kabir end up a bit like
Almighty / Rama.

Love sometimes
wants to do us
a great favor:
hold us upside down
and shake all
the nonsense out.
Rumi ❤️❤️
1. जीवन में आने वाली हर चुनौती को स्वीकार करे।
2. अपनी पसंद की चीजों के लिये खर्चा करें।
3. इतना हंसिये कि पेट दर्द हो जाये।
4. आप कितना भी बुरा नाचते हों, फिर भी नाचिये। उस खुशी को महसूस कीजिये।
5. फोटोज् के लिये पोज् : बिल्कुल छोटे बच्चे बन जाइये।
6. हर पल को खुशी से जीने को ही जिंदगी कहते है।
6. जिंदगी है छोटी, हर पल में खुश रहो।
7. काम में खुश रहो, आराम में खुश रहो।
8. आज पनीर नहीं, दाल में ही खुश रहो।
9. आज गाड़ी नहीं, पैदल ही खुश रहो।
10. जिस को देख नहीं सकते, उसकी आवाज से ही खुश रहो।
11. जिसको पा नहीं सकते, उसके बारे में सोच कर ही खुश रहो।
12. बीता हुआ कल जा चुका है, उसकी मीठी याद में ही खुश रहो।
13. आने वाले कल का पता नहीं, इंतजार में ही खुश रहो।
14. हंसता हुआ बीत रहा है पल, आज में ही खुश रहो।
15. जिंदगी है छोटी, हर हाल में खुश रहो।

I don’t know
What sort of master
You have.
Is he deaf?
That the mullah screech
From the mosque?
Surely he can hear
Even the anklets that tinkle
On an ant’s feet !
You count your beads,
You smear your brow with marks,
You grow long matted locks.
But deep inside yourself
You carry the vicious vicious dagger
Of apostasy –
This isn’t the way
To attain the master!
— Kabir vani

Whoever has
heart’s doors
wide open,
could see the sun
itself in every atom.
Rumi ❤️❤️
Seek the wisdom
that will
untie your knot.
Seek the path
that demands
your whole being.

I want to sing
like the birds sing,
not worrying about
who hears or
what they think.
Rumi ❤️❤️
When greed hits you like a wave,
you don’t need water to drown.
Whether it is a king or his throne,
or a pretty Queen,
chanting Pandit, Or a
Miracle working Yogi,
they will all die by drowning
In a waterless sea.
Who survives?
The ones whose minds, Kabir says,
are tied to god / Almighty.
Translated by : Vinay Dharwadker
Let us carve gems
out of our
stony hearts
and let them
light our path to love.
