I remember a few Kabir dohas that I am sure many among us know by heart<br />
Aisee Vani Boliye, Mun Ka Aapa Khoye<br />
Apna Tan Sheetal Kare, Auran Ko Sukh Hoye<br />
Translation<br />
Speak such words, sans ego’s ploy<br />
Body remains cool <strong>and</strong> composed, giving the listener joy<br />
Kaal Kare So Aaj Kar, Aaj Kare So Ub<br />
Pal Mein Pralaya Hoyegi, Bahuri Karoge Kub<br />
Translation<br />
Tomorrows work do <strong>to</strong>day, <strong>to</strong>day’s work now<br />
if the moment is lost, the work be done how?<br />
Dukh Mein Simran Sab Kare, Sukh Mein Kare Na Koye<br />
Jo Sukh Mein Simran Kare, Tau Dukh Kahe Ko Hoye<br />
Translation<br />
In anguish everyone prays <strong>to</strong> Him, in joy does none<br />
To One who prays in happiness, how sorrow can come?<br />
So let us dear friends begin this wonderful journey called life with ourselves. Let our action be<br />
conscious with pleasant words <strong>and</strong> expressions <strong>and</strong> may we value every second of our life <strong>and</strong> other’s<br />
<strong>to</strong>o. Then, there is absolute certainty that we would evolve in<strong>to</strong> better persons <strong>and</strong> whatever we do <strong>and</strong><br />
wherever we go we will experience it makes a positive difference <strong>to</strong> us <strong>and</strong> therefore <strong>to</strong> others in such<br />
a way, when we smile <strong>and</strong> <strong>to</strong>uch life, it smiles <strong>and</strong> <strong>to</strong>uches us back like a clear image of a Belgian<br />
glass. A new dawn shall usher us <strong>to</strong> the doors of excellence that will open for us with a thundering<br />
applause like for the lead characters Jack <strong>and</strong> Rose in the closing scenes of the film ‘TITANIC’. And<br />
by the way, I just gave an example of the usage of ‘SIMILIE’.”Now! This is <strong>to</strong>o much!” I can hear you<br />
all murmuring so!<br />
So, Let me s<strong>to</strong>p being a self advocated teacher <strong>and</strong> start being a student of life for a change.<br />
I am working on it ………….are you?<br />
Thank you all for a patient reading.<br />
