A beautiful Sher (couplet), with a great wisdom.
बाज़ीचा ए ऐतफाल है दुनिया मेरे आगे
होता है शबो रोज़ तमाशा मेरे आगे ( मिर्ज़ा ग़ालिब)
Bazzecha-e-
Aetfaal hai duniya mere aage
Hota hai
shab-o-roz Tamaashaa mere aage
(by
Mirza Ghalib)

is like a children's play.
All the happenings of each day and
night, are like a drama being played on the screen in front of me."
A wonderful concept of Vedanta, beautifully explained in Urdu shayari.
A wonderful concept of Vedanta, beautifully explained in Urdu shayari.
The concept of "Saakshi
Bhaava" being a witness not a subject is the theme of the Vedanta
philosophy. In other words, everything is just happening and I am simply
witnessing it.
I remember a story told by Shri Vivek Shauq ji.
His mother, Mrs. Padma Shauq ji went
to see a movie. In the story of that movie, a young boy was kidnapped by the
villain. The parents of the boy were asked for the ransom in return. When the
parents could not arrange for the money in time, there was a scene where the
villain proceeded to kill the boy. When he lifted his sword over the boy's
head, Padma ji started doing the sumiran and praying loudly " Tu hi
Nirankar....hey Sucche Paatshaah bachaa lai.......Oh God please save this
innocent boy".
People sitting around in the theater
started laughing.
Then she realized it was just a
movie, a drama being played on the screen.
Vivek ji said that the story has
already been written. We are simply watching it.... witnessing it. If the
writer had saved the boy in the story of this movie, then he would be
miraculously saved at the last minute, otherwise he would be killed.
As Sh. Kumar ji (Haiderabad) once
said “everything happens exactly the way it is supposed to happen..... No more,
no less.
(Rajan Sachdeva)
