Youth is taken over by middle age as time lapses and eventually it starts getting enveloped in old age. End seems closer. If self analysis is done, repentance surges up. Any warning may turn us around. May be with Guru’s blessing, we get imbued to Him and possibility of His grace gleams. This kind of story is told by Bhagat Kabir ji in Rag Soohi..

A million dollar spiritual question is hinted at us. So it was spent building mini empires! That is just like driving the crow away because for what the life is wasted, will not be helpful at the end since soul departs alone. Whole Shabad taunts us over our wrong path we take and how easily we get detoured from our Creator. Then hopes and urges fill the mind with filth. In that situation fears fabricate rituals to please the God. Ones, who realize Him, feel about the other aspect of this game and call it wastage of time. They see people on materialistic race just asleep in Maya and their inability to wake up from it since it is strengthened moment by moment. Kabir ji is offering a hand to us saying,” come on, it is time, and wake up before it gets too late”. What a wonderful guidance given amazingly in beautiful words.</span></span></span></p></blockquote><p></p>

No one is there to appreciate or recognize it; it is all wastage (3).)[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Mangal][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]In a very beautiful way Bhagat Kabir ji exposes worthlessness of religious ritualism which is merely a ceremony to satisfy our own desires, because love for Him is above all. It is easy to do ritual but very hard to change Maya enveloped mind for nourishing love for Him. It is a battle; it needs resolute courage unlike doing ritual.[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT] [SIZE=3][FONT=Raavi]ਕਾਗ ਉਡਾਵਤ ਭੁਜਾ ਪਿਰਾਨੀ [/FONT][FONT=Mangal]॥ [/FONT][FONT=Raavi]ਕਹਿ ਕਬੀਰ ਇਹ ਕਥਾ ਸਿਰਾਨੀ [/FONT][FONT=Mangal]॥[/FONT][FONT=Raavi]੪[/FONT][FONT=Mangal]॥[/FONT][FONT=Raavi]੨[/FONT][FONT=Mangal]॥[/FONT][COLOR=purple][FONT=Times New Roman] {[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=purple][FONT=Raavi]ਪੰਨਾ [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=purple][FONT=Times New Roman]792}[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE] [COLOR=black][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]( In essence It is pitiable to see one gets tired of doing something which is futile in the end, like sitting idle and driving crows away.

A million dollar spiritual question is hinted at us. So it was spent building mini empires! That is just like driving the crow away because for what the life is wasted, will not be helpful at the end since soul departs alone. Whole Shabad taunts us over our wrong path we take and how easily we get detoured from our Creator. Then hopes and urges fill the mind with filth. In that situation fears fabricate rituals to please the God. Ones, who realize Him, feel about the other aspect of this game and call it wastage of time. They see people on materialistic race just asleep in Maya and their inability to wake up from it since it is strengthened moment by moment. Kabir ji is offering a hand to us saying,” come on, it is time, and wake up before it gets too late”. What a wonderful guidance given amazingly in beautiful words.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
