Remembering Sant Kabir

Existing environment widespread in the world is of anxiety. All are unfamiliar as to when an incident will terminate life / frighten the pretended peace prevailing around.

Political class has immensely created uneasy amongst masses. Events in the last few years which caused concerns amidst masses are:

·         Election victory of Donald Trump , Narendra Modi and Recep Tayyip Erdogan

·         Brexit and the worry of Frexit

·         Rise of ISIS

·         Nuclear Threat of North Korea

It seems we are breathing down fire / there is a message hidden, a new world order is rising and the unfounded fears of people (especially Media/Journalist/Writers) will be laid to rest.

Nature sows seed many years before the happening of an event.

May be we forgot that we have to “Adopt the pace of nature. Her secret is patience – Ralph Walter Emerson” / “If we surrendered to earth’s intelligence we could rise up rooted like trees – Rainer Maria Rilke”.

The problem is we interpret too much and speak little too louder instead of showing patience and surrendering.

I think we have to come out from the role of masses and be an individual.

Let’s stop commenting on any and every thing.

Aisee Vani Boliye, Mun Ka Aapa Khoye
Apna Tan Sheetal Kare, Auran Ko Sukh Hoye
[Speak such words, sans ego's ploy
Body remains composed, giving the listener joy]

Chalti Chakki Dekh Kar, Diya Kabira Roye
Dui Paatan Ke Beech Mein,Sabit Bacha Na Koye
[Looking at the grinding stones, Kabir laments
In the duel of wheels, nothing stays intact.]

Sant Kabir
