something new!

there are times when something comes back to one...almost as a revelation...the meaning of something dawns on one...as subtly as the flame of a newly lit candle grows in the darkness...this one had a similar effect on me...donno why? the theme ties up with different kinds of quests that echo within us...being articulated in different forms..

samandar ke safar mein, ek samandar hi nahin aata
bade naale, bade darya, bade taalab aate hain!

there is another one that probably explains or gives a mental scaffold to the one above...

aql main jo aa gaya, la inteha kyon kar hua
jo samajh mein aa gaya, phir woh khuda kyon kar hua!

like the immensity of the sea cannot be 'comprehended' by the human mind, but in the form of small water bodies, so is it that God cannot be 'comprehended' but only 'apprehended' in small measures...

and to top it all..Meer..on the same theme

kaash woh burqa moonh se hata de, warna phir kya haasil hai
aankh munde par unne jo deedar ko apne aam kiya!
