MAA AND TIMELESSNESS

Recently, I was talking with a friend about Time being an invention of Man. Else, in the Creation of God, this universe, that is, there is no Time and hence no Beginning and no End. As our Religion teaches us, there is no Death.

No other event in my life brought back this Truth to me better than my loss of my mother.

She is still with me. I see her. I talk with her. I still seek and get her guidance whenever I feel the need.

Maa hai yahan!

She never left me. She never will.

It has been only six years. It won’t have made any difference if it were sixty years!

मेरी माँ कभी ना जाएगी मुझे छोड़ के,
क्या भगवन जाते हैं कहीं पुजारी का दिल तोड़ के?
खून है, साँसें है, रूह है, जिस्म है, उनकी देन है,
कौन तोड़ेगा जिसे रखा है माँ ने जोड़ के?

मेरे सर पर अभी भी है उनका हाथ,
महसूस होता है अभी भी हैं वैसे ही मेरे साथ l
उनकी ममता ने अभी भी मुझे घेरा है,
मेरे चारों ओर है उनके प्यार की बरसात l

कहती हैं, सुनती हैं, अभी भी देतीं हैं सलाह,
अभी भी माफ़ करती हैं मेरे सारे गुनाह l
मेरी खुशी से उनकी खुशी बढ़ जाती है,
मेरी उदासी में मिलती है उनकी गोद की पनाह l

माँ हूबहू खुदा का ही सुन्दर रूप है,
माँ ही तो चांदनी है, माँ ही तो धूप है l
कुदरत के हसीन जलवे देखने के बाद,
लगता है माँ ही अनमोल है, माँ ही अनूप है l

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
