“The Kingdom of God is within You” says the bible. True dear friends, it is for us to make our hearts and minds into a dwelling place of God’s kingdom with thoughts of Love, Peace, Purity and Goodwill. The qualities of a God Loving and God fearing man are not one of weakness but one of strength and spiritual resolve. Such a resolve can shake the power of mighty governments e.g. Anna Hazare vs Indian Government, Mahatma Gandhi Vs British Government
Kabir Das, a great Sufi saint says thus:
Jyon Naino Mein Putli, Tyon Maalik Ghat Mahin
Moorakh Log Na Janhin, Baahar Dhudhan Jahin
Translation:
Like the pupil is in the eyes , Your God lives inside you,
The ignorant don't know this, they search for him everywhere
Outside.
Meaning
God is within each of us. It is foolish to seek him outside without purifying our lives
And making our hearts into his dwelling place.
Jab Tun Aaya Jagat Mein, Log Hanse Tu Roye
Aise Karni Na Kari, Pache Hanse Sab Koye
Translation
When you came in to this world , Everyone laughed while you cried
Don't do such work, That they laugh when you are gone.
Meaning
Live your life in such a way that people feel the loss of your goodness when you are gone from this
world.
Jaise Til Mein Tel Hai, Jyon Chakmak Mein Aag
Tera Sayeen Tujh Mein Hai, Tu Jaag Sake To Jaag
Translation
Like the Oil is inside the Seed, Just as the Fire is Inside the Flint Stone
Your God is Inside You, If you have the Power to Wake Up, then Wake Up
Meaning
God is within, like the oil in the seed - wake up if you have the power to. Light up the lamp
Of the spirit within you and spread its light to manifest God’s presence through your good words and
Deeds.
Pothi Padh Padh Kar Jag Mua, Pandit Bhayo Na Koye
Dhai Aakhar Prem Ke, Jo Padhe so Pandit Hoye
Translation
Reading Books and Scriptures everyone died, No one became Pandit or Scholar
Two and Half Words of Love, Who ever reads, Pandit he becomes
Meaning
Reading umpteen number of books does not make one a scholar. If people learn, imbibe and speak a few words of Love they are much wiser and much more learned than well read scholars. All the learnings of books are of no value if one does not have Love in his heart.
Aisee Vani Boliye, Mun Ka Aapa Khoye
Apna Tan Sheetal Kare, Auran Ko Sukh Hoye
Translation
Speak such words, you lose the minds Ego
Body remains composed, Others Find Peace
Meaning
Let your speech be soothing peaceful and healing to those who hear them. Be gentle and kind in your
speech and choice of words.
May the Good God who is the One God and Father of all Humanity and all creation Bless us all.
