The REKHA SAHAY Corner!

आने वाले कल

आएगा या नहीं, मालूम नहीं.

फिर भी सारी कायनात……

सारी योजनाएँ…….

उस पर टिकी होतीं हैं.

और बीते पतझड़ जिनका

अब कोई अस्तित्व नहीं,

उनके सूखे, पीले, उदास पत्ते,

बीते कल की ओर

खींच ले जाते हैं.

अपना आज हम सब

इन्हीं की सोचँ में बीता देते हैं.

How can I know

anything about the

past or the future,

when the light of

the Beloved

shines only Now.

Rumi ❤️❤️

You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens.

Rumi

टूटे हैं तो क्या हुआ ?

टूट कर गिरते तारे ,

टूट कर बरसते बादल देखे हैं….

हर दर्द कुछ सबक़ ले कर आती है .

टूटने और बिखरने

का भी अपना मज़ा है.

If you wish to be a mine of jewels, open the deep ocean within your heart.

Rumi❤️

In the year 1994 the then President of India, Late Shankar Dayal Sharma, was on an official visit to Muscat (Oman). The moment Air India plane landed at the airport, three interesting incidents happened.

Oman King never visits the airport himself to receive any dignitary from any country, never! But, King of Oman himself went to the airport to receive the President of India. Then again, when the plane landed, Oman King climbed himself up the ladder and went inside the aircraft and accompanied the President.

Though a lot many chauffeur-driven luxury cars were waiting to carry the Indian President to the Royal Palace, Oman King himself drove the car in which the president was to sit and travel.

Later, when reporters asked the King as to why he broke so many protocols, the King replied: “I did not go to the airport to receive Mr. Sharma because he was the President of India. The fact of the matter is, I had studied in India and learned so many things over there. When I was studying in Pune, Mr. Sharma was my respected professor, and this is the reason I did all this out of my respect and reverence for my teacher.”

Great indeed! This is the magnanimity, relevance, and glory of being a teacher.
