साथी बहुत है मेरे

साथी बहुत है मेरे 

रातें घनेरी उजले सवेरे 

फूलों से उलफ़त है मुझे

कांटे सब है मेरे 

छांव हम-नवा है मेरी 

और धूप साथ है मेरे 

यह धरती घर है मेरा 

मेरे अंबर में है बसेरे 


साथी बहुत है मेरे


उलफ़त : प्यार, हम-नवा : समर्थक



~ संजय गार्गीश ~

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.

God Is Like Me!

"अहं ब्रह्मास्मि" is the pith of all the Hindu scriptures, philosophical treatises that I have studied till date. Simply put, the phrase means "I'm Brahma". In other words, there is no difference between जीव (soul) and परमात्मा (supersoul or god). A drop of seawater has the same saltiness, minerals as is found in the Sea itself! However, under the influence of "माया" (illusion), a soul has forgotten it's true identity, nature. It considers this काल्पनिक संसार (imaginary world) as real. Under the sway of मायाशक्ति (illusions), a soul gets itself attached to all the mundane things, beings. This fondness for the transitory world brings nothing except miseries, glooms and dejections. I opine that the whole purpose of spirituality is to wake a soul out of deep hypersomnia, to make it realize that सुकून (peace) can only be found by freeing oneself from the clutches of मायाशक्ति (illusions). There are only two ways to unshackle oneself from ...

I want to share my new गज़ल (poem) with my friends. Hope you like my new composition. (a) तूफ़ान-ए-हवादिस में अक्सर फंस ही जाता हूं मैं एक शीशा हूँ, हर पत्थर से टकराता हूँ मैं (b) मुझे रूला कर वोह हंस ना पाता है जब रोते हुए भी बहुत मुस्कुराता हूँ मैं (c) कई पुराने गमों को दफन करने की ख़ातिर शाम होते ही मयखानें पहुंच जाता हूँ मैं (d) यार की बाहों में आखिरी हिचकी आए कुछ इस तरह से अपनी मौत चाहता हूँ मैं Meaning of Urdu words : तूफ़ान-ए-हवादिस : storm of misfortunes , दफन : bury , यार : beloved/ the almighty. Translation : (a) Like a piece of glass attacked on all sides by stones of different sizes, I often find myself in the midst of a storm of misfortunes. (b) Any person who makes me cry would not be able to laugh at my miseries. This is because I smile a lot even during my miserable, tough times. (c) In order to bury my old sorrows, I have to go to the pub in the evening. (d) I wish to take the last breath in the arms of my beloved/ the almighty. That's how ...

The Importance Of Worship

In this post, I have tried to address two pertinent questions confronted by most of my acquaintances: (a) What is the importance of various places of worship? (b) Why should we worship at all? Well, let me be very frank at the very onset. I have no special affinity with the places of worship as I believe that when He is present in each and every "zarra"(atom), there is no need to build special buildings, "prisons" for Him. Can a parent remain happy in His palatial palace when millions of His children are poverty-stricken, homeless? Any picturesque, quite place, where I can introspect and realize that a "rowdy river" can attain composure, infiniteness only by mingling with the "boundless, serene sea", is a place of worship for me. For majority of the people, worshipping means "doing business" with the God. Instead of being grateful, they want the "Master" to be servile to them, to fulfill their "Manokamna" ( s...
