Mirror

The empty space in the frame
is that your face or mine?
i want to know
who is staring at the hollow
who is smiling back
who are you that can dissolve
in a tear
what do u fear that i will see
please sweet heart
close
these two eyes
meet me
and we shall be love

Saleeka hi nahi usko to mehsoos karne ka
jo kehta hai khuda hai to nazar aana zaroori hai....

Life

Stumbling along the road of life,
exploring new paths,yearning for those
long lost in the mists of time,
searching for a place called fame

Callused soles,tired feet,
scorching glare of the ego's Sun,
but still charting the paths ahead,
searching for a plane called success

Never stopping,never looking,
searching for a place called wealth.
A broken sign on the road reads
'Did you see the flowers on the roadside?'

Love- the best description ever!!

“Love is patient; love is kind
and envies no one.
Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
never selfish, not quick to take offense.
There is nothing love cannot face;
there is no limit to its faith,
its hope, and endurance.
In a world, there are three things
that last forever: faith, hope, and love;
But the greatest of them all is love.”

From:
The bible

Soulful Words!!

"We meditate on the transcendental glory of
the Deity Supreme,
who is inside the heart of the earth,
inside the life of the sky,
and inside the soul of the heaven.
May He stimulate and illumine our minds. "

- The Gayatri Mantra

From Delight we came into existence.
In Delight we grow.
At the end of our journey’s close,
Into Delight we retire.

Lead me from the unreal to the Real.
Lead me from darkness unto Light.
Lead me from death to Immortality. Truth alone triumphs.

Whatever takes form is false.
Only the formless endures.
When you understand
The truth of this teaching,
You will not be born again.
For God is infinite,
Within the body and without,
Like a mirror,
And the image in a mirror.
As the air is everywhere,

I become you, you become me.

I become the soul, you the heart.

How can they now claim I am apart, you are apart?

Amir Khusro

Repeating the name of the Beloved, I have become the Beloved myself.

Whom shall I call the Beloved now?

Bulleh Shah

O Allah! If I worship you for fear of Hell, burn me in Hell.

If I worship You in hope of Paradise, exclude me from Paradise.

But if I worship You for Your own sake, grudge me not Your everlasting Beauty.

Rabia al Basri

As fragrance abides in the flower
As reflection is within the mirror,
So does your Lord abide within you,
Why search for him without?
Guru Nanak Dev Ji

One cannot comprehend Him through reason, even if one reasoned for ages.

Guru Nanak Dev Ji

By William A Ward-

Flatter me and i may not believe you,
Criticize me and i may not like you,
Ignore me and i may not forgive you,
Encourage me and i will not forget you.
Love me and i may be forced to love you.

Search

Where do you search me?
I am with you
Not in pilgrimage, nor in icons
Neither in solitudes
Not in temples, nor in mosques
Neither in Kaba nor in Kailash
I am with you o man
I am with you
Not in prayers, nor in meditation
Neither in fasting
Not in yogic exercises
Neither in renunciation
Neither in the vital force nor in the body
Not even in the ethereal space
Neither in the womb of Nature
Not in the breath of the breath
Seek earnestly and discover
In but a moment of search
Says Kabir, Listen with care
Where your faith is, I am there.
