Moko kahaan dhoondhe re banday 
 Sitar & Vocal Video by Ustad Shujaat Hussain Khan 

Ustad Shujaat Khan ji is one of the best Sitar players of this era, an excellent singer, and one of my mentors and a great friend. 
The Gayaki style of his Sitar playing and his deep emotional voice touch everyone's heart. Most of all, he is a superb human, loving, kind, affectionate, and down-to-earth. He is such a big celebrity in the Indian classical music circles, yet he is always so humble and modest. 
I always cherish the wonderful, pleasant times I was able to spend with him.
                                                          " Rajan Sachdeva"

मोको कहाँ ढूँढ़े रे बंदे (Where are you searching for me?) Moko kahan dhoondhay?

मोको कहाँ ढूँढ़े रे बंदे, मैं तो तेरे पास में। 
ना मैं देवल ना मैं मसजिद, ना काबे कैलास में।
ना मैं जप में, ना  मैं तप में, ना मैं व्रत उपवास में ।
न मैं कर्म-क्रिया में रहता, ना ही योग संन्यास में । 
खोजी होय तो तुरतै मिलिहौं, पल भर की तलास में।
कहत कबीर सुनो भई साधो मैं तो हूं विश्वास में  
           " सत्गुरु कबीर जी महाराज "
=============================

Moko kahan dhoondhay ray Banday 
Main to teray paas mein

Na main Deval na main Masjid, Na Kaabaa Kailas mein 
Na main jap mein, na main tap mein, na main vrat upvaas mein 
Na main Karm-Kriya mein rehta, na hi yog sanyaas mein 
khoji hoy to turatai milihaun, pal bhar ki talaas men
Kehat 'Kabeer' suno bhai Sadho Main to hoon Vishwas mein
                          "Satguru Kabeer ji Maharaj"
              =============================

                 English translation:

Where do you search for Me, O seeker? I am right here beside you.
I am neither in the temple nor in the mosque; neither in the Kaaba nor in Kailash.

I am not found in chanting or penance, nor in vows or fasting.
I dwell neither in rituals and ceremonies, nor in the paths of Yoga and renunciation.
I am right here beside you.

If you are a true seeker, you shall find Me instantly—in the span of a single moment.
Says Kabir, "Listen, O seekers: I reside in faith."

Happy Father's Day



A father is the only person in the world 
who genuinely wants his children to be more successful than he is.

दुनिया में अकेला पिता ही एक ऐसा शख्स होता  है, 
जो ये चाहता है कि उसके बच्चे उससे ज़्यादा कामयाब हों।

Forget what makes you sad वो बातें भुला दो

Forget the things that make you sad
Remember the moments that make you glad

Forget the troubles that have passed away
Enjoy the blessings that come your way 


वो बातें भुला दो जो मन को व्यथित करें,
संजो लो वो पल जो हृदय में आनंद भरें 

जो बीत गया उसकी चिंता छोड़ दीजिए 
जो आज है - उस का आनंद लीजिए

दुनिया के बाज़ार में Duniya kay bazaar mein (Marketplace of the world)

दुनिया के बाज़ार में हर शय की कीमत होती है
चीज़ों को पाने से पहले - इन्सां को खोने के बाद


Duniya kay bazaar mein har shay ki keemat hoti hai
Cheezon ko paanay say pehlay - Insaan ko khonay kay baad

English translation:

In the marketplace of the world, everything has a price.
Things often seem valuable before acquiring them.
And the value of people is realized after losing them.

रौशनी कभी अंधेरे से बहस नहीं करती

रौशनी कभी शोर नहीं मचाती कि वह दुनिया को रौशन कर सकती है,
न ही वह अंधेरे से बहस करती है। 
वो तो बस चमकती है और अपने आस-पास की हर चीज़ को रौशन कर देती है। 

सत्य और नेकी एवं भलाई के कामों को विज्ञापन की ज़रुरत नहीं होती।
सच्चे संत न तो शोहरत, प्रसिद्धि, विख्याति अथवा दूसरों से मान्यता की अपेक्षा करते हैं और न ही वो लोगों से बहस करके जीतना चाहते हैं। 
वो तो अपने विवेक और नेक कर्मों के कारण स्वयंमेव ही उद्घाटित और लोक-प्रिय बन जाते हैं और अंततः लोगों के दिलों में अपनी जगह बना लेते हैं। 
                                                  " राजन सचदेव "

Light does not argue with darkness

Light does not broadcast that it can illuminate the world, 
Nor does it argue with the darkness. 
It simply shines and illuminates everything around it. 

Truth, wisdom, and goodness do not need to be loudly proclaimed. 
True Saints do not seek recognition, validation, or victory in arguments.
They reveal themselves through their wisdom and actions and thus, earn their place in people's hearts. 
                                          " Rajan Sachdeva "

The Answers we Seek जिन प्रश्नों के उत्तर ढूंढ रहे हैं

The answers we seek...  
       ... Are hidden in the silence that we try to avoid. 

And the miracle we want 
           is inherent in the efforts we are trying to avoid. 

जिन प्रश्नों के उत्तर हम ढूंढ रहे हैं 
         वो उस ख़ामोशी में छुपे हैं जिससे हम बचने की कोशिश करते हैं। 

और जिस चमत्कार की हमें तलाश है,
        वो उस काम में ही निहित है जिससे हम बचने की कोशिश करते हैं। 
                              " राजन सचदेव "

AI - AI - AI

Today, we are living in the era of AI (Artificial Intelligence).
And many are worried that one day, AI might take control of everything in the world and in our lives.

Since AI is merely the accumulated intelligence gathered from the web, it is devoid of human emotions. Therefore, it may become destructive and disastrous in the future.

Moreover, we rely on AI so much that we hardly use our own brains, which will eventually reduce our brain capacity.

Therefore, instead of a single AI, we should use three AIs.
                       AI + AI + AI
Apni Intelligence* + Artificial Intelligence + Aadhyaatmik* Intelligence.

That is, while using artificial intelligence, we must use our own intelligence, coupled with our human emotional and spiritual intelligence.

Because mere intelligence, without emotion and empathy, is of no use.
                                               " Rajan Sachdeva "

* Apni = Our own intelligence
**Aadhyaatmik = Emotional, Spiritual

Busy vs Lazy

Everything is easy when we're busy
Nothing is easy when we're lazy.

When we're busy, we find ways and solutions.
When we're lazy, we find excuses. 

The difference is not in the work itself 
It is in the mindset. 
                             "Rajan Sachdeva"
