Tears Help to Blur the World!

Ratan was extremely happy.  It was a great day in her life.  She had given a performance on the stage along with her classmates.  She was sure that her father & mother would be extremely happy to see the photographs of this dance performance.

Ratan is a student of Nursery class. She stays away from her parents.  She lives with her maternal aunt and coping up with the difficulties of separation.  She remains happy and involved and always looks forward to a smile or a pat from the teacher.

When the audience clapped she took the applaud all for herself and along with her friends walked back into her class room.  She was helped by her teacher to change from her dance costume into her uniform. She envied her friends who were being helped by their mothers.

She went out to sit among the audience to witness the Intra Class Hindi Story Telling Competition.  She found that all the ‘kid chairs’ were occupied.  She looked hopefully into the eyes of her classmates.  Probably expecting one of them to offer his or her chair to her. But such things do not come into the minds of children of Nursery class.  Rather few of them held on to the arm of their chairs by making their grips stronger. She turned her eyes towards one of the Pre Primary teachers who stood among the students for maintaining discipline but probably was lacking the concern to look around and see if all were having the chairs.

Meanwhile one of the boys got up in order to bring back his bottle's cap which had rolled under the front seat.  On seeing the vacant chair Amarpreet went and sat on it.  She was not able to even rest her back on the chair when the boy returned towards his chair and demanded to get it back. He was supported by both children sitting adjacent to him.  Without much fuss she got up and offered the chair back to the boy.  Now she was once again looking here and there for a chair for herself.

She saw from her place that  few participants were being made to sit on the carpet.  So she thought at least by going towards it she will be able to sit on the carpet with them.

Without wasting any further time she started moving towards the area.  Still happy in the mind and heart because of the beautiful and melodious dance performance which she had performed a little while ago.

Before she could reach the students sitting on the carpet she got caught by the eyes of another teacher who had got a long stare, a little while ago, from the Principal of the kind “you-are-not-minding-the-children”

She took this as an opportunity to prove her skill-of-vigilance.  She called her towards her.  Ratan went towards the teacher presuming that she would be patted by her for her great performance and also told where to get a chair for herself.  But instead she got her ear twisted by the teacher and scolded for not being with her classmates.  

She was made to stand near the wall holding her ears. She did that without understanding the reason of her punishment. 

She desired to have the tears stay in her eyes for a longer time so that the vision of her classmates happy and mocking faces remained blurred.

“Kabeer paapi bhagat na bhaawe, Har puja na suhaai.

“Kabeer paapi bhagat na bhaawe, Har puja na suhaai.


Maakhi chandan parhare, je beegand te jaai”.



Kabir ji says a sinful person doesn’t like the company of a worshipper nor does he relish the worshipping of the Lord. He compares a sinful person with a flea that forgoes the company of a sandalwood tree and instead relishes a stinking and filthy place.



Guru Nanak says “Hum avgunn bhare, ek gunn naahi. Amrit chaadh bhike bhik khaai”. “ I’am full of follies and have not a single merit within me for I am discarding the Nectar and chasing objects which are poisonous in nature”.



We need to have the blessings of a Master Guru with which we can differentiate between good and bad. At the surface level what may appear to be good may in fact turn out to be bad in the days to come and vice-versa.



Hence, we need to pray to the Lord to bless us with a foresighted vision to choose the right company, to follow the right path in order to reach the correct destination of true happiness.

“Kabeer hardi peertan hare, na chian chun rahai;

“Kabeer hardi peertan hare, na chian chun rahai;


Balhaari eh preet kau, jih jaat baran kul jaai”.



Kabeer ji says that turmeric helps in eradicating the pain from a wound and lime helps in removing the mark of the wound (scars). He says that he is a sacrifice to both turmeric and lime for joining hands in a partnership benefiting the wounded. In doing so both turmeric and lime lose their own identity by all means.



Just like a candle burns its own self to spread light; a seed gives rise to a sapling only after losing its own basic structure, similarly we the human beings can become one with the God only after shedding off our egoistic nature. Success can be achieved only through sacrifice. It is also well said and understood, ‘No pain, no gain’.

Salaam Namaste written by Sudha Murty

Recently I came across Sudha Murty's book Wise and Otherwise. It is a collection of 50 short stories or you can say recollections. I have gone through 40 of them. For the past couple of months have been more into reading some or other managerial or spritiual based books. So this was a nice change. I got to know how people try to take advantage of charitable trusts in a wrong way. At the same time the experiece shared through this book Sudha mam is also helping the people to become SELF DEPENEDEND. I was so touched with the story of Sheikh and the courage of his sister Zubheida in the story Salaam Namaste that tears had rolled down while I had read it on my bed last night. This morning I read it out in the morning assembly. It was really difficult for me to go through certain lines like when Sheikh had pocketed the sweets for Ameena and Tabussam instead of eating them; When he tells Sudha about having sold his wife's and sister's jewellery and taking a loan from the bank for his sister's treatment and telling her that he didn't seek her help because there are others who need that help more than him; when Tabussam pockets a buiscuit for Ameena; When she conveys her Amma's salaam to Sudha; when Sheikh gives the packet containing Rs 3000/-; When Sudha returns the packet to him for Tabussam and finally it was really chocking for me to complete the last lines where Sudha says to Sheikh to always tell Tabussm about her mother, "Our earth is enriched by people like Zubbeida.'...... "One day she would understand her mother and probably emulate her."I can only say that just like Zubbeida people like Sudha Murty have also enriched our earth. She is able to reach out to thousands who she is helping monetarily but through her book Wise and Otherwise the enrichment she has offered to the seekers is equally immesearable and shall be reaching out to millions of people.
Keep it up Sudha Mam. We are proud of you!!
I am younger to you but still would say "God Bless You! for God surely listens to all equally.

Khalil Zibran has said, " When we desire something from the core of our heart with full sincerity, the whole universe conspires to enable us to attain it."( Yes!! You are right SRK has used the same dialouge in OSO! ). Bible says, "What you think so you become!" Guru Nanak has said it in Aasa Ki Vaar, "Jo jie soi ugve, muh ka kaiye vau. Bije bikh mange amrit, vekho eh niau." Whatever we have in our hearts so comes out of our mouth. Men sow poison but in return expect to get the Holy Amrit. How is it possible? It's only when we set goals that are in harmony with conscience and the principles that create qaulity of life, we can seek - and - find THE BEST.
