How I Handle My Enemies

"Sir, do you have enemies? How do you handle them?" asked an acquaintance.

Well, I am fortunate that I possess nothing that may cause enmity, jealously.

I am not an affluent person - do not own any property, conveyance, fat bank balance.
Neither do I hold an authoritarian, influential position in the society.

Infact I have no cravings for these traps, right from the start.

A believer in the philosophy of "travelling light", I intend to complete the rest of my "journey" by living humbly and happily.

If some people still harbour feelings of rancour towards me, then I can't help.

Having ardent faith in the philosophy of अहिंसा ( non-violence), I manage my "hidden enemies" in a rather unconventional way, described in the following lines of mine: 

अपने रकीबों को इस तरह सताता हूँ 
मैं अक्सर बेहद, बेवजह मुस्कुराता हूँ

Translation :
I torment my enemies in my own, peculiar way.
I often smile a lot, without any reason which they can't endure.

~ Sanjay Gargish ~
Life is kind enough to impart invaluable lessons though sometimes in unkind ways. Jotting down my ruminations, life experiences for my loved ones so that they may live each and every moment fully.

The Mystery Behind The Cycle Of Birth And Death.

With the killing of his son Abhimanyu by Kauravas in the great war of Mahabharata, Arjuna started crying inconsolably, went in a deep grief. At that juncture, Lord Krishna revealed to Arjuna the mystery of the cycle of birth and death. In "Sri Bhagavad Gita", Lord Krishna sermonized Arjuna : "Dear Arjuna, souls are unborn, indestructible. Just as one throws away one's old, tattered clothes and wears new clothes, likewise, souls take on new bodies whenever the existing bodies become unfit due to illnesses, old age, wear and tear. Relations exist as long as bodies exist! They change with new bodies. Both you and Abhimanyu have taken umpteen births before. In one of his previous births, Abhimanyu was your friend while in another you were his son! There is no use grieving over the body, made up of five elements (पंच-भूत) namely the fire, earth water, wind and ether as the body is destructible, bound to become a heap of dust - sooner or later".

Don't Suppress Your Emotions

I believe that most of the modern diseases like depression, hypertension have their genesis in suppressed emotions. I have come to realize that one must declare one's love to one's beloved at all costs. This way one can surely live an anxiety free life and remain as light as a feather. "Woh mile ya na mile, hatthh toh badakar dekho." My first crush was a Russian aircraft engineer, when I was about 21 years old. She was deputed to give instructions to officers, at 3BRD Air Force Station, with regard to the repair and maintenance of MIG 21s-- Russian fighter aircrafts. We interacted a lot, jogged together. Unfortunately I was not able to reveal my fondness for her. As my friends want me to write something romantic, this composition of mine is for my long lost beautiful, sagacious Russian friend. By thinking about you day in, day out. Things have turned around, no doubt. A lover has changed into your devout! Secretly I fancy you, admire your visage nice. F
