“The soul has been given it’s own ears to hear things (Shabad Dhun- Anhad Bani)the mind does not understand.”

Rumi.

“You think of yourself
as a citizen of the universe.
You think you belong
to this world of dust and matter.
Out of this dust
you have created a personal image,
and have forgotten
about the essence of your true origin.”

Rumi.

Asceticism doesn't lie in mere words; He is an ascetic who treats everyone alike. Asceticism doesn't lie in visiting burial places; it lies not in wandering about nor in bathing at places of pilgrimage. Asceticism is to remain pure amidst impurities.

*Note: and purity comes only by meditating on Nam

Note: This beautiful quotation above, took me towards another beautiful point, which is that, we too should not be judgemental about our daily life, for there is hardly much we can do as per our pralabdh karam; but yes, we  should be attentive and ask ourselves about many seeds of Waheguru´s Naam, have we planted today in the soil of our minds.

For it is the seeds of His name alone, which we shall carry along with us, at our departure time from this earthly plane.
