Deh Siva bar mohe-i-hai, shubh karman the kabhu na taroo
Na daroo ar siyoo jab jah laroon, Nischai kar apni jeet koroo
Ar Sikh hao apne hi man ko, Eh lalch hou goon tau uchroo
Jab aav ki audh nidhann banay, Aut he rann me tab joojh maroo......!!
These lines, from Sri Dasam Granth, as composed by Sri Govind Singh Ji, never fail to inspire. I have a special fascination for these lines as a print of these lines adores a very special place in our nest and it is on daily basis that I see, read and get inspired by these lines. These four lines have so much to say, only if we are willing to hear; otherwise, these are like many other hymns that people (with mind focussed elsewhere) tend to mutter as a part of daily routine. It does not need any special talent to understand what path is being shown for lesser mortals; location, context, ground situation remaining irrespective. Take any situation and apply it to see what option do you get and you will be surprised.
Why suddenly these lines? As you may begin to wonder lemme tell you that these lines, though being written for the first time in this blog, have been with me for long and 'we' interact with each other on daily basis. But yes, there is a reason for writing these lines here but before I elaborate on that, lets ask ourselves a simple question! What is an evil in the real sense? Is it a hand that commits a sin? Or is it a person who, say, does a sinful act? Or is it a person who is actually caught in an act and had he/she not been caught, he/she would have come out clean? Well, the answer is common to all questions here and that is in affirmative. So, that means that there is some central point inside every living being and it is there at that point that the evil resides. So, what do we call this point? Is it mind or is it heart? In India, we do colloquially use terms like 'black hearted' or 'evil hearted' and so on but the science believes that evil lives inside a penthouse, called brain. Now, as far as I am concerned, whether the evil (gender neutral) lives in brain or inside the heart or keeps shuttling between the two, it is important to identify this entity. Once identified, killing the evil is just a matter of detail. So, who is this entity? From little that I know from my experience, it is called, " Intent"! Unfortunately, INTENT has two faces - evilish and good! Readers of this blog being mature, do not really need any further explanations.
Going back to those lines now, evil can not win over good and when you go after an evil, you do not have to worry or wink because Good Intent (GI) of yours will always have an edge over Evil Intent (EI) of any joker, his/her stature being irrelevant. So, here I am.... got challenged by an EI a few days back. Yes, challenged! Though it may sound strange but it is nothing unusual, given the fact that when an EI has a fool as friend, the logic gets tossed off first because the entity called Logic (L) likes to live alone and does not leave its original path. But in situations when EI begins to overlook the L, L simply goes away. Thereafter, once EI comes to senses after getting bashed up (reminded of something very recent....ha, ha), it is generally too late. L would be seen but would be of no use and as the EI's ship begins to sink, rats are the first ones to jump off....... and the world watches! The EI that I have decided to take on, has gone a step ahead than usual! My personal property, I believe, is being manipulated to train guns on many innocent souls! But dear EI, I stand between you and the victims and I have GI on my side. We do not really have to wait for the results........ as these lines have always proved, GI will prevail over the EI.
I got something "from the desk of'' someone on 10th! I sent something back ''from my heart'' today! While 'from the desk' sounds very impressive (as if coming from 7, RC or White House), the fact remains that 'from the heart', even though humble and decent, can destroy wooden desks.
Have fun guys; at least I will live only once!
