Thought Of The Moment!

[aristotle]

"It's never too late to be who you might have been."

-George Eliot

 

[sandeep17oct]

Tere Seene Mein Dam Hai, Dil Nahin Hai
Tera Dam Garmi-e-Mehfil Nahin Hai


Thy bosom has breath; it does not have a heart;
Thy breath has not the warmth and fire of life;

Guzar Ja Aqal Se Aagay Ke Ye Nor
Charagh-e-Rah Hai, Manzil Nahin Hai

Renounce the path of reason; it is a light
That brightens thy way; it is not thy Final goal.

-Muhammad Iqbal (Bal-e-Jibril-099)

 

[Parma]

Time: Look to the Future and everything you see is new,
Look to the past and everything you see is old!
Now: Look deep and in the Future you are Old and in the Past your where New. Look Deeper still and only when the contradictions make sense do you realise that without a god it is all nonsense!

We meet so many, we know so little and then we never meet at all?

Parma Nagra

 

[aristotle]

Guzar Ja Aqal Se Aagay Ke Ye Nor
Charagh-e-Rah Hai, Manzil Nahin Hai

Renounce the path of reason; it is a light
That brightens thy way; it is not thy Final goal.

-Muhammad Iqbal (Bal-e-Jibril-099)

The translation should be 'Travel beyond the path of reason/Go beyond the limits of reason' instead of 'Renounce the path of reason'. It will then be like,

Travel beyond the path of reason; it is a light
That brightens thy way; it is not thy Final goal.

[Taranjeet singh]

“People are often unreasonable and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway……..
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. ……
If you are honest, people may cheat you.
Be honest anyway…….
If you find happiness, people may be jealous.
Be happy anyway………
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway……….
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. …….
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.” ………
― Mother Teresa

 

[aristotle]

“The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody has decided not to see.”
― Ayn Rand

 

[Taranjeet singh]

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.
Confucius

 

[sandeep17oct]

Bertrand Russell (Philosopher, Mathematician 1872-1970)

If some lucky men survive the onslaught of the third world war of atomic and hydrogen bombs, then the Sikh religion will be the only means of guiding them. When asked, isn’t this religion capable of guiding mankind before the third world war? He said, ‘Yes it has the capability, but the Sikhs haven’t brought out in the broad daylight the splendid doctrines of this religion, which has come into existence for the benefit of the entire mankind. This is their greatest sin and the Sikhs cannot be freed of it.

 

[aristotle]

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.

- Mark Twain

 

[aristotle]

“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”

― Albert Einstein

 

[Taranjeet singh]

Nothing happens to anybody which he is not fitted by nature to bear.

-Marcus Aurelius Antoninus

Kabira Garv Na Keejiye, Uncha Dekh Aavaas
Kaal Paron Punyah Letna, Ouper Jamsi Ghaas

Translation
Kabir , Don't be so proud and vain, Looking at your high mansion
Tomorow you'll lie under feet, On top will grow Grass



Meaning

Don't be proud and vain, tomorrow you'll be lying six foot under feet, on top will grow grass that goats and sheep will eat!

 

[sandeep17oct]

Chinta Aisee Dakini, Kat Kaleja Khaye
Vaid Bichara Kya Kare, Kahan Tak Dawa Lagaye

Translation


Worry is such a Thief, it eats one's heart
What can the poor doctor do, How far will his medicine reach?



Meaning

Don't worry, be happy.

 

[sandeep17oct]

Maya Mari Na Mun Mara, Mar Mar Gaye Shareer
Asha Trishna Na Mari, Keh Gaye Das Kabir

Translation

Neither Maya Died, Nor the Mind Died, Die and die again People/Bodies
Hope and delusion have not died, so said Das Kabir and left

Meaning

One of Kabir most meaningful doha's for me. Kabir observes the world from within, and sees the world as Maya - illusion. It is projected by Mun, the mind, the collective mind. Shareer refers to the living body or living person. Shareer's die and die again.

There is hope that this will end, that there will be the emergence of a new Shareer that will wake up, and then Maya and Mun will instead die.

 

[sandeep17oct]

Kabira Khara Bazaar Mein, Mange Sabki Khair
Na Kahu Se Dosti, Na Kahu Se Bair

Translation
Kabira Stands in the market place, Asks for everyone's prosperity
Neither special friendship nor enmity for anyone

Meaning

In the market place, Kabir wishes goodwill to all.

 

[sandeep17oct]

Kabir Man Nirmal Bhaya, Jaise Ganga Neer
Pache Pache Har Phire, Kahat Kabir Kabir

Translation

Kabir Washed His Mind Clean, Like The Holy Ganges River

Everyone follows behind, Saying Kabir, Kabir

Meaning

Kabir washed and cleaned his own mind, like the holy Ganges. That is, he removed all impurities from his mind, from his thinking process, this letting the true light of divinity to shine forth.

Then everyone follows him whereever he goes, calling his name: Kabir, Kabir from behind him.

 

[sandeep17oct]

Aisee Vani Boliye, Mun Ka Aapa Khoye
Apna Tan Sheetal Kare, Auran Ko Sukh Hoye

Translation
Speak such words, you lose the minds Ego
Body remains composed, Others Find Peace

Meaning

In speech use such words that your ego is eliminated. Don't brag, don't gloat, don't make yourself out to be big, important, rich or anything else that the ego attaches to. Building the Ego takes energy from the body, takes away the bodies composure. If ego is lost in ones speech, the listener finds peace from listening to it.

 

[sandeep17oct]

Dheere Dheere Re Mana, Dheere Sub Kutch Hoye
Mali Seenche So Ghara, Ritu Aaye Phal Hoye

Translation
Be Slow O mind, Slowly everything happens
Gardner may water garden a hundred times, When the Season comes, there is fruit

Meaning

Kabir tells his mind to slow down, everything in life happens slowly, in its own time. The fruit only comes when the season comes, so will the fruit of life come in its own time.
