Lines for Thought
Here are few lines by Baba Bulleh Shah ,Sufi mystic of 18th century Punjab.
Je rab milda nahatya-dhotya
te rab milda daduan-machiyan nu.
Je rab milda jungle phiryan
te rab milda gayian-bachyian nu.
mandir toro ,masjid toro
per kise da dil na toro.
rab ta dila which basda ha.
---------------
My translation of the above lines follow :
If God was found by taking a bath and cleaning onself
frogs and fish would have found God.
If God was found by roaming in the forest
cows and calves would have found God.
Break the temples, break the mosques
but don't break anyone's heart.
God lives in the heart.
Je rab milda nahatya-dhotya
te rab milda daduan-machiyan nu.
Je rab milda jungle phiryan
te rab milda gayian-bachyian nu.
mandir toro ,masjid toro
per kise da dil na toro.
rab ta dila which basda ha.

duniya badi baambri pathar poojne jaye,
us chakki ko na puje jiska peesa khaye.
my translation:-
World is very crazy and fanatic for it prefers worshiping idols made of stone but pays no heed to the millstone that provides them food for continued existence..

Nahaye dhoye kya bhala jo man ka mail na jaay
Meen sada jal mein rahe par tan ki baas na jaay
meen=fish
baas=odour
