अपना गम लेकर कहीं और न जाया जाये
घर में बिखरी हुयी चीजों को सजाया जाये
जिन चरागों को हवाओं का कोई खौफ नहीं
उन चरागों को हवाओं से बचाया जाये
बाग़ में जाने के आदाब हुआ करते हैं
किसी तितली को न फूलों से उराया जाये
खुदकुशी करने की हिम्मत नहीं होती सब में
और कुछ दिन यूँ ही औरो को सताया जाये
घर से मस्जिद है बहुत दूर चलो यूँ कर लें
किसी रोते हुए बच्चे को हंसाया जाये.

This song is special. Truely written by Mr. Nida Fazali and melodiously sung by Mr. Jagjit Singh. It was casing break at rig and we, Hampton Ledget & me, were busy with surfing the internet. I was listening this song and I was playing this song repeatedly. After sometime, Hampton, My colleague & an american guy, asked me.....Amit, What kind of song you are listening...Man It's so peaceful...It gives me divine feeling even though I don't understand the song....Can you tell me the meaning of the song? I told him and he took all the song of Jagjit Singh.... and I was like proud Indian.....Thanks Jagjit Singh not only to make me proud, but to give me divine feelings....I think essence of life lies in divine feeling.....

Well...where there is a will, there is a way....I had opportunity to promote Indian Music, so I did.....
Though these ideas have always fascinated me over the gloomy/ lonely periods in my life, but looking back at them not always generate the same feelings deep inside. And thats when it makes me realise how greedy I am. So when people feel eternity in something that makes me feel the worldiness, all I can do is gasp some air with sense of amazement... What a poem.. gives one wat is already in him, still makes u feel blessed.

Feeling Divine is blessing of God, because it brings greatest form of happiness. You always need a medium to connect yourself to innerself. Whether it's poem or meditation or something else, we always need a medium to connect yourself to suprempower. Even your body is a medium.
Feeling divine phenomena occurs when two of three dimensional power of a person, Mind and Heart, work in resonance. Now which activity is going to bring resonance between mind and heart depends on unknown power....Thats why I say it's blessing of God. Because I always feel divine whenever I listen that Song....It never brings Sad feeling inside me even though it's sad song....That's why I say It's blessing of God... :)
Being in a so called developed country for past seven months i can understand why these people (American, British or whatever..)like the divine or say Indian quintessential music.When a man gets trapped in his own inventions he looks for peace and tranquility. Every possile material wealth is here, but so is mental chaos also.
As swami vivekanand once said that Indian civilization has a lot to offer to the western world.These words are more true than ever.
