OTHERS AND SELF

🌺🍁🌺🍁🌷🍁🌷🍁🌺🍁🌺

"दूसरों को समझना

             है  बुद्धिमानी,

खुद को समझना

           है  असली ज्ञान ।

दूसरों को काबू करना

  है  बल,

तो खुद को काबू करना

   है वास्तविक शक्ति ।"

" की संसार को बदलने की कोशिश जिसने,

वो हार गया

               

जिसने लिया  खुद को बदल

 वो जीत गया।"

🙏 💫   सुप्रभात    💫🙏

UNDERSTANDING  OTHERS ,  

IS INTELLIGENCE,

UNDERSTANDING  SELF,  

IS  ENLIGHTENMENT !

CONTROLING OTHERS, IS POWER

STEERING SELF, IS MIGHT !!

 WHO TRIED CHANGING WORLD,  

ALWAYS  LOST !

WHO  CHANGED HIMSELF,

CAME OUT WINNER !!

ABANDONED 1 – Glimpse from MAHABHARATA

…GREAT SAGE DURVASA, WHO COULD FORSEE  FUTURE,   WAS WELL KNOWN FOR HIS SHORT TEMPER,  ONCE WAS TRAVELING THROUGH THE KINGDOM OF KUNTI, RULED BY KING KUNTIBHOJA.  KING INVITED THE SAGE TO BE HIS GUEST AT PALACE. SAGE DURVASA ACCEPTED THE INVITATION.

KUNTIBHOJA INSTRUCTED HIS YOUNG INTELLIGENT DAUGHTER KUNTI TO TAKE FULL CARE OF THE SAGE AND ENSURE THAT HE IS NOT OFFENDED FOR ANY REASON. 

WHEN THE SAGE WAS SETTING OUT FOR HIS JOURNEY, GRATIFIED WITH DEVOTED SERVICE OF KUNTI, DURVASA   BESTOWED KUNTI WITH DIVINE MANTRA , THROUGH WHICH SHE CAN CALL ANY GOD TO BEAR THEIR CHILD. 

AFTER SAGE DURVASA LEFT ,  OUT OF CUROSITY  KUNTI  RECITED  THE DIVINE MANTRA CALLING UPON SUN GOD. 

IN A  TERRIFING SURPRISE TO KUNTI …. SUN GOD IN HIS FULL GRANDEUR ARRIVED TO  HER,  INSPITE OF HER GREAT RELUCTANCY , SUN GOD BOUND BY THE MANTRA, BESTOWED KUNTI WITH A SON WITH SIMILAR TRAITS AND POWERS  AS HIMSELF.  

 IN DUE COURSE  KUNTI SECRETELY GAVE BIRTH TO A SON, WHOM SHE ABONDONED BY PUTTING  IN A FLOWER BASKET AND LEAVING IT IN A DRIFTING RIVER, HOPING THAT THE SON’S FATHER  “SUN” WILL TAKE CARE OF HIM.

THE BASKET KEPT DRIFTING IN THE RIVER FOR SOMETIME, WHEN IT WAS SPOTTED BY A  ROYAL CHARIOT DRIVER NAMED ADIRATH, WHO HAPPENED TO BE CHILDLESS  COUPLE …..

SHARING - GLIMPSE FROM MAHABHARATA

.....IN ORDER TO HIDE FROM KAURVAS TO FULFILL THEIR TENURE IN AGYAATWAAS ( HIDING ),   PANDAVAS ALONG WITH THEIR MOTHER KUNTI ,  DISGUISED  AS  BRAHMINS  WERE LIVING IN  A SMALL HUT IN A REMOTE COUNTRYSIDE, 

WALKING AROUND THE VILLAGES AND COLLECTING ALMS , WHICH EVERYDAY ON THEIR RETURN BACK, THEY GAVE TO THEIR MOTHER,  WHO IN TURN DISTRIBUTED IT AMONG THE BROTHERS.

PAINTING  BY  GIAMPAOLO TOMASSETTI

DURING THAT TIME  KING DRUPAD  ANNOUNCED  SWAYMVAR FOR HIS DAUGHTER DRAUPADI, ROYALS AND NOBLES, FROM FAR & WIDE, CAME TO PARTICIPATE IN SWAYMVAR , THE PADAVAS ALSO ATTENDED THE OCCASION. KING  KRISHNA WAS ALSO PRESENT THERE.

WHEN ALL ROYALS AND KINGS FAILED TO LIFT  THE BOW OR  MISSED TARGET, ARJUN DISGUISED AS BRAHMIN ATTEMPTED THE TASK AND SUCCESSFULLY PIERCED THE TARGET, THUS WINNING PRINCESS DRAUPADI AS A REWARD  OF  SWAYMVAR  TRIUMPH.

AS USUAL THE BROTHERS RETURNED BACK  TO HUT.  SPECIALLY ARJUNA VERY EAGER TO GIVE  GOOD NEWS OF WINNING A PRINCESS WIFE IN THE SWAYMVAR ,  ARJUNA STARTED CALLING OUT FOR MOTHER IN EXCITEMENT , 

THAT HOUR THEIR MOTHER WAS TAKING BATH , RESPONDED BACK TO ARJUNA SAYING “SHARE AMONG YOURSELF”, THINKING THAT THE BROTHERS HAVE RETURNED WITH THEIR ALMS COLLECTION..

WHEN KUNTI WAS DONE WITH BATHING CORE, SAW BROTHERS STANDING WITH DRAUPADI, DID SHE REALISE  WHAT A  GRAVE MISTAKE SHE HAS DONE  BY  INSTRUCTING  TO SHARE AMONG YOURSELF.

NOW THE SITUATION OF  7 PERSONS  AFTER  KUNTI  INSTRUCTIONS  IS A BIG DILEMMA  FOR ALL

5 PANDAVAS

1 DRAUPADI

1 KUNTI

SONS HAS TO FOLLOW MOTHER INSTRUCTIONS !

MOTHER CAN NOT REVERSE HER INSTRUCTIONS  !!

DAUGHTER IN LAW HAS TO ABIDE BY WHAT HER MOTHER IN LAW INSTRUCTS.!!!

ALL  ARE  BOUND  BY  DHARMA, 
BUT THE SITUATION IS VERY AWKWARD AND DIFFICULT.  INSTRUCTIONS IF FOLLOWED MEANT THAT DRAUPADI NEED TO BE SHARED AMONG  FIVE  BROTHERS !!!

PSYCHOLOGICAL SITUATION OF ARJUNA MUST HAVE BEEN WORST, ALONG WITH YUDHISTIRA THE ELDER BROTHER,  MOTHER AS WELL AS OTHER THREE  BROTHERS - BHEEM,  NAKUL  &  SAHDEV...  
MUST  BE  SORT OF  SPEECHLESS AND COULD   BE  IN  BLANK  MIND SITUATION ,

………….  BUT THE SOLUTION WAS DERIVED, 
STATE OF CONFUSION SEEMS RESOLVED.....

DRAUPADI BENT OVER  TO TOUCH THE FEET OF MOTHER IN LAW  FOR  SEEKING  HER  BLESSING,  FOR SHE KNEW SHE IS  ONE, ..  AND  SHE HAS  TO  FOLLOW  WHAT  IS  BEING  DECIDED….   

DRAUPADI CAME OUT OF CONFUSION FOR HERSELF.

YUDHISTIRA , WHO  ALWAYS REMAINED ON THE SIDE OF DHARMA, THEN LOOKED AT HIS BROTHERS AND SAID.....  

PROBABLY !! IT IS DUE TO SOME  DIVINE INTERVENTION, SUCH ARRANGEMENT IS BEING MADE, ... 
DRAUPADI WILL BE WIFE OF ALL THE BROTHERS…

THUS RESOLVING THE SITUATION

KUNTI  BLESSED  HER  DAUGHTER  IN  LAW ........

....मै यादों का

    किस्सा खोलूँ तो,

    कुछ दोस्त बहुत

    याद आते हैं....

...मै गुजरे पल को सोचूँ

   तो, कुछ दोस्त

   बहुत याद आते हैं....

...अब जाने कौन सी नगरी में,

...आबाद हैं जाकर मुद्दत से....😔

....मै देर रात तक जागूँ तो ,

    कुछ दोस्त

    बहुत याद आते हैं....

....कुछ बातें थीं फूलों जैसी,

....कुछ लहजे खुशबू जैसे थे,

....मै शहर-ए-चमन में टहलूँ तो,

....कुछ दोस्त बहुत याद आते हैं.

...सबकी जिंदगी बदल गयी,

...एक नए सिरे में ढल गयी,😔

...किसी को नौकरी से फुरसत नही...

...किसी को दोस्तों की जरुरत नही....😔

...सारे यार गुम हो गये हैं...

...."तू" से "तुम" और "आप" हो गये है....

....मै गुजरे पल को सोचूँ

    तो, कुछ दोस्त बहुत याद आते हैं....

...धीरे धीरे उम्र कट जाती है...

...जीवन यादों की पुस्तक बन जाती है,😔

...कभी किसी की याद बहुत तड़पाती है...

  और कभी यादों के सहारे ज़िन्दगी कट जाती है ...😔

....किनारो पे सागर के खजाने नहीं आते,

....फिर जीवन में दोस्त पुराने नहीं आते...

....जी लो इन पलों को हस के दोस्त,😁

    फिर लौट के दोस्ती के जमाने नहीं आते ....
