कभी गुल-ए-बहार...

 कभी गुल-ए-बहार 

कभी ख़ार ही ख़ार 


कभी अज़ाब बेशुमार 

कभी बेवज़ह करार 


कभी आँसूओं की धार 

कभी नेमतें हज़ार 


कभी तपिश-ए-रेगज़ार 

कभी बसंत की बयार


नहीं कोई पाया पार 

यही ज़िंदगी का सार 


यही ज़िंदगी का सार 


गुल-ए-बहार : बसंत का गुलाब, 

ख़ार : काँटे, अज़ाब : दुख, करार : चैन 

तपिश-ए-रेगज़ार : रेगिस्तान की गर्मी, 

बयार : हवा

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.

Importance Of Meditation.

 "What exactly is the importance of meditation?" my curious friends often ask me.  Well, meditation has two important purposes.  Broadly speaking, the main constituents of a human being are :  (a) gross body (स्थूल शरीर).  (b) subtle body (सूक्ष्म शरीर).  (c) soul (आत्मा).  The gross body is composed of five basic elements (पंच-भूत) - earth (पृथ्वी), water (जल), fire (तेजस), wind (वायु) and space (आकाश).  The subtle body is the mind.  It is in the form of desires, thoughts, emotions.  The soul or the inner self is the observer.  It is the soul that makes the various body organs, faculties function.  To refresh the bodies - gross as well as subtle - to increase their efficiency, one has to take some hours of good sleep everyday.  Likewise, the soul also needs rest.  Through meditation or by withdrawing the soul from the outside world and reconnecting it with the Source, soul gets re-energized.  Sometime back, I vi...

One only juggles between two different dreams.

  𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙟𝙪𝙜𝙜𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙬𝙤 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙨!  About six months ago, my friend Wing Commander Ahlawat requested me to spare some time and impart spiritual teachings to his and his colleagues's children.  So for the last five months I have imparting teachings, trying to resolve the spiritual queries of the adolescents and adults at the official accommodation of Ahlawat, on every fourth Saturday.  Last Saturday while discussing  Mimansa Philosophy of Rishi Jamini with the gathering, I found Gagan - a beautiful lady in her forties - feeling sleepy.  "If you are not feeling well, you may leave." I asked Gagan.  "I'm sorry Sir. Actually last night I had a terrible nightmare. I couldn't sleep peacefully the whole night."  "Oh! Please tell me something about your nightmare?" I asked playfully.  "I dreamt that my son and husband were going somewhere, biding me goodbye. When I requested them to take me alon...

A Peep Into The Life Of A Writer

Contrary to the common perception, writers are not lonely. They are always surrounded by their constant companions--misfortunes  and miseries. In fact a writer ceases to be a writer without the blessings of these bosom friends. Pleasant and soothing music emerges only from the hearts of most turbulent rivers! A bona fide wordsmith is also highly superstitious. He keeps his loyal companions away from the public gaze so that someone may not cast an evil eye (buri nazar) upon them. Very cleverly a writer camouflages and embellishes his sufferings. He then presents them in the form of poems and fictions. Though his writings provide succour to many, his own life largely remains desolate and wretched. My new composition salutes my kindred souls and takes a peek at the other side of the coin. My words may appeal much to you. My words also conceal much from you. My words create such a veil around me. Through which you can't see the real me. To have a look at my real being. Rai...
