Jo Dise So To Hai Nahin, Hai So Kaha Na Jayee Bin Dekhe Parteet Na Aave, Kahe Na Koyee Patiyana Samajh Hoye To Rabeen Cheenho, Achraj Hoye Ayana Koi Dhyave Nirakar Ko, Koi Dhyave Aakaara Ja Bidhi In Dono Te Nyara, Jane Jananhara Woh Raag To Likhia Na Jayee Matra Lakhe Na Kana Kahat Kabir So Padhe Na Parlay, Surat Nirat Jin Jana
[What is seen is not the Truth What is cannot be said Trust comes not without seeing Nor understanding without words The wise comprehends with knowledge To the ignorant it is but a wonder Some worship the formless God Some worship His various forms In what way He is beyond these attributes Only the Knower knows That music cannot be written How can then be the notes Says Kabir, awareness alone will overcome illusion]
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
ReplyDelete~ Albert Einstein
We would rather be ruined than changed
We would rather die in our dread
Than climb the cross of the moment
And let our illusions die.
~ W. H. Auden

ReplyDeleteHai So Kaha Na Jayee
Bin Dekhe Parteet Na Aave,
Kahe Na Koyee Patiyana
Samajh Hoye To Rabeen Cheenho,
Achraj Hoye Ayana
Koi Dhyave Nirakar Ko,
Koi Dhyave Aakaara
Ja Bidhi In Dono Te Nyara,
Jane Jananhara
Woh Raag To Likhia Na Jayee
Matra Lakhe Na Kana
Kahat Kabir So Padhe Na Parlay,
