http://satsang-foundation.org/?p=2204 Pani kera budbuda, as manushya ki jaat; Dekhat hi chhup jayega, jyon tara prabhat. This means, human life is like the bubble that appears on the stream….you see it one moment and then the next moment it is gone like the star which twinkles. Twinkles! One moment lighted, another moment gone.

I am not I

I am not I.
I am this one
Walking beside me whom I do not see,
Whom at times I manage to visit,
And at other times I forget.
The one who remains silent when I talk,
The one who forgives, sweet, when I hate,
The one who takes a walk when I am indoors,
The one who will remain standing when I die.

Juana Ramon Jimenez, “I AM NOT I”
translated by Robert Bly

What
Do Sad people have in
Common?
It seems
They have all built a shrine
To the past
And often go there
And do a strange wail and
Worship.
What is the beginning of
Happiness?
It is to stop being
so religious
Like
That.

Hafiz, "Stop Being So Religious"
