ये साली ज़िंदगी...

ज़िंदगी पे तेरा मेरा किसी का ना ज़ोर है
हम सोचते है कुछ, वो साली सोचती कुछ और है

ये ज़िंदगी, ये साली ज़िंदगी

हम चाहते यहाँ है साली जाती कहीं ओर है
लम्हे और लम्हों के बीच टेढ़े मेढे मोड़ है

ये ज़िंदगी, ये साली ज़िंदगी...

The wolf inside me...

A native elder told his grandson that inside of him he has two wolves that are fighting with each other.

One wolf is angry and mean and the other is gentle and loving.

The grandson looked up and asked, “Grandfather, which one will win?”

And the grandfather answered, “Which ever one I feed the most.”

The wisdom behind this native folklore – in each of us, the good and the evil are always at war. All our lives the fight goes on between them, and one of them must conquer. And in our own hands lies the power to choose.

Dear God, Dear Universe,

Please help me make wise choices, that I may discern between the good and the evil.

Amen!

निंदक

निंदक नियरे राखिये
आँगन कुटी छवाए
बिन पानी साबुन बिना
निर्मल करत सुभाय

~कबीर~

Nindak niyare rakhiye,
Angan kuti chawai
Bin pani sabun bina,
Nirmal kare subhaiy

~Kabir~

[जो हमारी निंदा करता है, उसे अधिकाधिक अपने पास ही रखना चाहिए। वह तो बिना साबुन और पानी के हमारी कमियां बता कर हमारे स्वभाव को साफ़ करता है। Keep your critic close to you. Give him a cottage in the courtyard of your house, because he cleanses your nature without soap and water.]
