Life is precious – not ours to waste

“Love every day. Each one is so short and they are so few”.
– Norman Vincent Peale

Kabir – The couplet

Kabir-aug-21

transliterated:

Durlabh manush janam hai, hoi na dooji baar |

Pakka fal jo gir pada, laage na dooji bar ||

Translation:

Human life is difficult to achieve, and it is only one we get – no 2nd chance |

Like the ripened fruit (once it falls ), no way to reattach it to the source of life ||

My understanding:

Life is a miracle. Life is a blessing. Life is something that needs to be enjoyed. A full life still seems short at the end of it all. We each have a lot to do, a lot to love, a lot more to achieve, and so very little time to do it.

With so much opportunity all around us, is there really a need for any negativity? Not really – think it over ..

Let us enjoy life, and teach those around us to enjoy the bounty that life is.
