My Kahna

kahna

Master says: To reach Krishna one has to use stairs made of tears.

A Laghu katha:

I’m a girl, who has been crying for kahna, for his darshan, for his glance. He comes in my dream, he plays in my thoughts, and he resides in my heart.

With God’s grace, I go to Nathdwara, where my kahna, my Krishna lives. I’m on top of the world. I know my prayers have been heard and granted.

Finally, I reach his abode. There he is, in all his fineries. Decked up, magnificently.

I make my way in, quietly, and manage to go right in front.

I look at him, his beautiful face and get lost in his deep eyes. He smiles at me. His eyes speak to me.

The moment seems like eternity.

Suddenly I become aware of my surroundings. The crowd is pushing and pulling to get closer to my kahna.

My kahna?

Is he mine, only mine?

No!

Reality strikes.

Kahna is looking at everyone, smiling at all around him. His beautiful face is welcoming the whole Universe. He has no preferences, no differences. 

His arms are open to gather all in grace.

No, he does not belong to me alone. I can’t put that claim on him.

Nevertheless, I can proclaim my truth.

I belong to Him and Him alone. 

habit of Giving

Give...a smile...a flower

Master says: Give, just anything !

the rich often moan "oh...only if we had time, we would do so much to make this world a better place"

the not so affluent cry " if only we had the money, we would make this planet a lot happier to  live..."

We all are in the habit of making excuses all the time. Master says, if the rich part with some of their money and the not so affluent give little bit of their time, many problems could be solved.

And still, if you feel you have neither, don't worry;  just give.... a Smile!

Do we ever realise, a smile to that small child by the roadside can make his day or even a small " how are you " to the guy who cleans our car, can make a big difference to him. o.k how about starting right at home? help your mother in the kitchen, help your younger brother with his homework. Try it..it works wonders, not only to the other person but also ourselves. And it does make our world a better place to live in.

Jsr!
