Limit

It is not primarily

our physical selves

that limit us

but rather our

mindset about our

physical limits.

नीड़

वह नीड़ ….

वह घोंसला…

अब सूना था .

नन्हें किलकते बच्चे ,

पंख निकलते उड़ गए

किसी अनजानी दिशा में.

इंसानों के हों या परिंदों के.

रह गए कुछ सूखे पत्ते

कुछ नन्हें पंख ……

कुछ पुरानी किताबें

कुछ तस्वीरें …….

I want…

I want that love that moved the mountains. 
I want that love that split the ocean. 
I want that love that made the winds tremble. 
I want that love that roared like thunder. 
I want that love that will raise the dead. 
I want that love that lifts us to ecstasy. 
I want that love that is the silence of eternity.

ज़िन्दगी के रंग -177

हथेलियों पर रखे थे

चंद नाज़ुक यादों को

सहेज कर.

हवा के झोंके के साथ

रेत सी कहीं सरक गई

ज्योंहीं कोशिश किया

मुट्ठी बंद करने की .

Our greatest strength!

Our greatest strength

lies in the gentleness

and

tenderness of our heart.

हबाब….बुलबुला…

गुस्ताखियाँ, बे-अदबी छोड़,

अदब से पेश आओ

मिट्टी की इस काया से.

कौन जाने क्षणभंगुर

ज़िंदगी का हबाब….बुलबुला…

कब हवा के झोंके में खो जाए .

Two faces yet one soul !

Happy is the moment

we sit together,

with two forms,

with two faces,

yet one soul.

You and I.

Rumi ❤️

A short story-Belief and trust

A person started to walk on a rope tied between two tall towers at several hundred feet above the ground. He is slowly walking balancing a long stick in his hands. He has his son sitting on his shoulders.

Everyone down were watching him in bated breath and were tensed. He slowly reached the second tower. Everyone clapped, whistled and welcomed him. They shook hands and took selfies.

He asked the crowd “do you all think I can walk back on the same rope now from this side to that side?”. Crowd shouted “Yes, Yes, you can”. Do you trust me he asked. They said yes, yes we are ready to bet on you.

He said okay, can any one of you sit on my shoulder; I will take you to the other side safely. Everyone became quiet. There was stunned silence.

Belief is different. Trust is different. For Trust you need total surrender. This is what we are lacking towards God in today’s world. We believe in God. But we don’t trust Him.
