times change

Its strange how india has changed big time,
Relatives living in the same building chat online,
Where lord raam left home and all his wealth just to keep his father's word there r thousands of old age homes, very few care abt family's feelings,
In the country once famous for its unique education systems education loan is available only @12% car loan even @6%,
In the most diversified agricultural country, agri minister says divert to other business,and then not only farmers but everyone enjoys "virtual farming" and we are forced to import now so many agri commodities,
Times change and so do we;
sadly for the worse when we dont know what we are doing

rumi- the ascending soul

The Ascending Soul

I died as mineral and became a plant,

I died as plant and rose to animal,

I died as animal and I was man.

Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?

Yet, once more, I shall die as man, to soar

With angels blessed; but even from angelhood

I must pass on; all except God doth perish.

When I have sacrificed my angel soul,

I shall become what no mind e’er conceived.

Oh, Let me not exist! For Non-existence

Proclaims in organ tones, “To Him we shall return!”
