The Whispers Of My Heart

The one and only book that I always place beside my pillow is "Bhagavad Gita". Whenever I study, ruminate over the various श्लोक (stanzas) spoken by Lord Krishna, my stupid mind becomes quiet. I find absolute tranquillity. In one of the stanzas, Lord tells Arjuna that He is omnipresent. He is present everywhere, in all the beings - living or nonliving. The following lines of mine have been inspired by the sayings of Lord Krishna. मिट्टी के इस जिस्म में पानी है, आग है, हवा भी है मुख्तलिफ़ है रूप जिसके, हर दिल में खुदा भी है In this body made of earth, there is water, fire ( according to Ayurveda, food is digested only because of the fire element present in living beings) and air. These are the various forms of the God. The fact is that God Himself is present in the heart of all the beings. ~ Sanjay Gargish ~

I have deciphered that "Friendships" or "Enmities" are based solely on external appearances. An enlightened person realizes that beneath the varied appearances, the "core" or "soul" of each and every creature remains same - an indistinguishable part of the Supreme. A truly spiritual person neither hates nor likes anyone, anything. He remains just equianimous. Famous mystic Kabir once said : "ना काहू से दोस्ती, ना काहू से वैर" Translation : Now that Kabir has realized that the same soul resides in all, he has neither  friendship nor any enmity with anyone. Ignorant animals alone believe in "Enmity" or "Friendship". As they don't have the required understanding, animals fail to perceive beyond the different "dresses". Taking an inspiration from Kabir, I have written the following lines : तोता, मैना, शेर या मेष, अजब धरे हैं सबने भेष शक्लों से है सबकी यारी, शक्लों तक सीमित है द्वेष Tran
