Hi @kabir88, I was not going to write a long comment as your instructions seemed to be aimed at existing followers only - 3rd para, LOL :) ... but things are open to wider interpretation I guess!!? Thought I'd just drop you a few lines in general support and 'dosti'. Also, below, some (relevant?) words from your namesake, the poet Kabir. Sorry about hogging so much space on the page.
Thank you @barge for dropping by and sending those beautiful words from Kabir the Poet. I have heard of him but must confess to never reading much of his poetry.
My words were guidance only and never instructions, who am I to tell anyone what to do?
Here is my gift to you, I hope it brings you as my joy as it does to me each time I read these words:
And one more
Thanks @kabir88, Rumi's words are eternal and of the highest, I embrace them!
My comment was in jest of course, I just adopted a familiar tone. I've seen you around and know how you've been burned - wonder why it's taking so long to move towards 0 - are you still being flagged?
And we read some of Kabir's 'dohas' at school in India, and the one that I remember is
गुरु गोविंद दोनो खड़े, काके लागू पाए
बलिहारी गुरु आपनो, गोविंद डियो बताए
The Guru and the Lord are standing before me, whose feet shall I touch first? I first respect the Guru, for he is the one that led me to the Lord.....
....which I remember finding strange as a kid, given the utter reverence for the 'Lord' that abounds in India, but I understand it better now that I'm "older and wiser" and do not see either of the two as being external to one's Being :) ....
You are a wise being @barge
Are you still in India? It seems India is blessed with a lot of wisdom. Joining the Da Lai Lama at Dharamsala was one of those moments in my life I will never forget. All the way in the hill tops, it was a serene and scenic place, at the footsteps of the Himalayas.
Your comment reminded me of this great quote. Regardless of the guides we choose or the path we take, we are all searching for the same thing
Even if I can't reach the moon, I hope the price of STEEM does ;)
@kabir88
Aaree thanks bhai (blush :)....I'm in Scotland atm and have been for a while. Moved to India as a baby and went to school there, actually only a couple of hundred km South of McLeod-ganj ('Maklodganj' :), near Shimla. Family house is in Delhi, but the mountains are where I'd want to stay if I were to return for any length of time. Powerful experience seeing the DL up there, I've not been but would love to go!
Love the last quote. Buddha's version is soft, and gently delivered. The version I've heard is the wise look at the moon, the fools look at the finger which is pointing to it lol. I think Steem is defo looking at the moon :D.
