Bura Jo Dekhan Main Chala, Bura Naa Milya Koye
Jo Munn Khoja Apnaa, To Mujhse Bura Naa Koye

TranslationI searched for the crooked, met not a single oneWhen searched myself, "I" found the crooked one

This doha deals with our perception behavior and tendencies. It has been invariably noticed that we tend to find fault with someone else for our situations and circumstances. Our "I", the ego, always tries to put blame on others. Non-awareness of our own self is the cause of this attitude. Resultantly, we find ourselves being busy in criticizing and condemning others and conveniently term them as crooked or evil.
So Kabir says that instead of finding fault and maligning others, dive deep into your own-self. Amazingly, an honest introspection will reveal that all fault lies with "me" and "my" own perceptions and attitudes. If there is any evil or crookedness, it is in "me". Correcting this and opting for a loving and compassionate attitude will change one's perceptions and the world will appear wonderful all over again.

Here is something that comes straight from a typical bollywoodblockbuster. A reel life scene experienced in real life!
One day before the chennai Utsav started something so miraculoushappened that reminded me of what Bawa once said," When you spreadknowledge, nature will bend to serve (save) you".
One of the active volunteers (Anil…. He is 6ft 6 inches and weighs 90kgs) was driving his bike on a fly over and a bus dashed him frombehind. He flew from his bike and he collided on the railing. Hetoppled over and fell.... on the other side... 8 ft down on the busyroad below. It was amazing to hear the story from Anil himself as wewere sitting in the Fruit Shop at Greams road. At this point we weretoo excited to know what happened next since it was obvious that amiracle had saved him.
Here is what happened. As he took off from the bridge and was fastdescending down towards mother earth a fast moving open truck carrying"HAY" was passing by. He fell exactly inside it.. His fall wascushioned!! JaiGurudev!

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away,"
Think about this. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.
1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.
2.. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3 A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
4. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
5. You mean the world to someone.
6. If not for you, someone may not be living.
7. You are special and unique.
8.. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you trust God to do what's best, and wait on His time, sooner or later, you will get it or something better.
9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good can still come from it.
10. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.
11. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.
12. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
13 . Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know and you'll both be happy
14. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great.
Send this letter to all the people you care about, if you do so, you will certainly brighten someone's day and might change their perspective on life...for the better.
To everyone I send this to
Thanks for your time!

A must read : Guru's graceMy dear friends Rajita and Ajay Bagga were among the fortunatesurvivors from the Taj, after spending the entire night there. Shesent her inspiring, cathartic experience to us today, and hasgraciously allowed me to share this intensely personal message withyou all. Raju, we are so glad that you and Ajay are safe, and join youin thanking Guruji. Truly, there is a huge task ahead, and will needall our combined strength to accomplish."Dearest OnesJai GurudevThere are no words to describe what we are going through after ourmiraculous escape after 12 hours in captivity at the Taj.There is still a sense of daze & shock, there is fear ( after thecontinous sounds last 60 hours of grenades and gun firing) even thesound of a spoon falling is alarming, anger & rage at the totalbreakdown of security and the system , but above all, there is a hugehuge huge huge sense of gratitude.Gratitude to Guruji for giving us another life. As more is beingrevealed, 4 terrorists were in the kitchen of the chambers , justabout 10 feet from the room we were in.They killed the chefs there.There was nothing stopping them from just turning left and come ourway. It was almost like some indescribable force was between them andus. Knowledge of living in the present moment and present moment isinevitable was never never before a living reality for us. When theyevacuated us after 12 hours, there was blood ,broken glass pieces,grenade remnants all strewn across the corridor outside our room.That's how close they came.When we did come out and escaped another round of fresh firing at usas we were walking outside the Taj, the 1st call just that moment wegot was from Guruji confirming that we were out and safe. It wasalmost as though He had escorted us out ! I was so shaken , I couldbarely stand let alone speak and He said to me, "When I am with you,how can anything touch you.come on be brave . Kya darti hai, main hunna "Throughout the night, Bhanudidi kept calling and smsing us , giving uscourage and encouragement. Giving us the confidence that we would beout surely. It seemed surreal then, but she kept telling me to be boldand support others. It was like being scooped in a blanket of graceand love. In every Part 2 course, I have learnt to sleep with ablanket of grace. Believe me, I can tell you with certainity that itwas ON us that nightThrough the night all of you kept calling us ,smsing us and telling ushow much you are praying for us . Our parents,brothers,sisters,sisters in law, little nephews and nieces from UK.......yourvoices gave us life & kept us going.We were giving healing to the bullet hit, teaching deep breathing tosome young boys with us to calm them down, teachimg mudras to controlbladders to the old, all the while literally hanging on to each other,holding hands tight and continuously chanting jai gurudev. My tonguecontinues to move in that chant in a almost pavlovian way even nowEven after we came out, all of you kept calling and supporting us.Hearing the concern and love in your voice was deeply humbling andmoving for us. Anna kept refocusing my attention by talking aboutdesigning the Mandir for our new home to asking what I cooked ! Eachone of you has kept reassuring us . This love is our only truetreasureI have no idea what we have done to deserve all this outpour of yourlove, concern,good wishes. We are just so grateful to you. It is thestrength of your sadhana and sankalpa that rescued 100 of us thatfateful thursday morning. As you know only about 8 people have comeout alive from the taj after thatMany many people we know, top lawyers,bankers ,leading business headshave not been as lucky as us. They were victims of indiscriminatefiring. Dalus son Shaan and daughter Shivanis 4 friends have lostseither both or one set of parents.3 of our friends were stuck inTrident and rescued only yesterday morning after 36 hours and are indeep traumaWriting this is a cathartic experience for me.Going through this, a jolting wake up call to appreciate the value ofevery living moment of life, the indispensiblity of spreadingknowledge URGENTLY, and above all deeply appreciating the love thatsurrounds usWe remain in Gratitude to you all FOREVER . Lifetimes will not sufficeus to repay this loveApart from our anniversary, Ajay and I now share a birthday too.Nov 27thLove from the deepest depths of our heart
