1: कालीबंगा के आँगन में

कर दी गयी चिनाई
एक- एक ईंट को जोड़कर
भटनेर के दुर्ग की
आततायियों से रक्षा के लिए
न जाने कितनी ही कोमलांगियों के 
नाजुक हाथों ने 
अपने वजूद को बचाने के लिए
अपने परिवार के साथ।

 

कहते है अभेद्य बना दिया इसे
अपने खून-पसीने से थापी गयी
अनगिनत पक्की ईंटों से
जिसे हमने सीखा कालीबंगा के आँगन में
एक-एक बारीकी के साथ।

 

न जाने कितनी ही 
पीढ़ियां गुजार दी हमने पुरखों की
अपनी धरा, अपनी आन-बान में 

अपनी पगड़ी, अपनी शान बचाने में
खेत में काम करते दो हाथों के लिए।

 

धान के लहलाते खेत और
सोने की चमक लिए गेहूं की बालियां
उस नवोढ़ा के घूँघट की आड़ में
खिल उठे थे खेत में 
धवल रूप लिए कपास के टिंडे 
और ग्वार की कच्ची फलियां 
हाँडियों में खुश्बू को भरकर
तैयार करती थी ईंट भट्ठों के लिए
और राजशाही तलवारों को चमकाने के लिए।

 

नहीं कोई थी दरो-दीवार 
इससे पहले यहां- वहां आपपास में
और लोगों के दिलों में,
केवल फर्क बना रहा 
जागीरदारों और आमजन में
पर अपने वजूद के लिए
देनी पड़ती थी अपनी कुर्बानी
सीमाओं की रक्षा की खातिर
एक आम मजदूर को भी।

Is a Muslim Always Terrorist? By M.A. Rathore

Is a Muslim Always Terrorist?

By M.A. Rathore

Hearing a constant tapping sound on the door of my bed room I got up instantly but reluctantly leaving my plush couch, went to have a shower, shaved early at 5 O'clock in the chilled winter fogy morning through mirror the flying foams swirling out of my mouth, took a cup of tea hurriedly, packed my bags and baggage and went out striding towards the railway station to catch the Kalka - Badmer Express train running on time fixed for 6:10 a.m. Having taken a ticket for journey to Nagaur I got into the train.

Sitting for sometimes recklessly making myself comfort able I asked for a newspaper as it is a general habit of passengers, read in a cursory way going through all pages as an office attendant searching thoroughly the needed urgent files from a cupboard, my eyes fell on stopping rigidly altogether at the editorial columns that tells about the ISI's movement in Iraq and Syria being the present centre of the controversial organization because  these countries are the main sources of the crude oil and it is undoubtedly the centre of attraction for the rest world politics.

America, once the originator of such a terrorist organization for his personal gross profit at the time of Soviet Union lead by socialists, has been fighting against all those activists nurturing in his own country and the other major countries where he gets an opportunity being a powerful country having a veto privilege to operate his war policies or to commercialize his weapon export such as a big bazaar.

To control the anti - social activists of ISI whom he nurtured in the past and now there is no need of his support or no longer in force for this aim 800 military troops from America and the same and Syria to suppress the activists . quantity of 800 troops from UK and France are being sent to Iraq It is a matter of great concern I have heard that some of Indian young - blood students having scientific and computer IT knowledge with well - versed high quality almost trained went to join ISI for searching new opportunities for making money and thus strengthening their livelihood .

This is the matter of shameless for Indians and the burning issue that makes me to think over the matter. I cannot understand why the younger generations are doing so only for getting money. But as they have returned or captured before hatching their activities in near future. These types of the young newbies do not consider their good or bad future at this tender age while they hold weapons. They are instigated on the name pseudo religion especially of fanatic people considering religious superiority over the uneducated poor people who practise their religion.

There is no religion in the whole world which teaches to spread terror among his brethren and countrymen only to satisfy the false fanaticism. There is no scripture in any religion of the known world which lets their followers free to spoil the followers of other religions.

All the Muslims of the world are being considered the so called terrorists these days for the activities of ISI. Long beard, cleaned mustache and wearing Pope - like cap has been a specific costume for terrorist. Since all men are not terrorists, they have to forebear insult as the suspects of terrorists ‘activities going on in that particular area largely.

The men who are still being so unwise that behave ill - mannered and rudely in the era of modern technology where we are thinking about to make a room on the moon. Still they are divided into smaller sects following the old - aged norms and traditions of which there is no need at the present time where the scientists have proved the reality of life and the existence of God. It is a matter of serious concern they why are some people for satisfying their false ego creating an atmosphere of warlike situation on the basis of religious practices. Copyrighted. 

Importance of Free Meditation in Writing An Essay by M.A. Rathore

Importance of Free Meditation in Writing 

An Essay by M.A. Rathore

Literature is a spiritualism and meditation. It is the main source of spiritualism for ages. With the creation of spirituality in writing the divine and ultimate aim of motivational meditation can be seen in literary writings. This spirituality can only be obtained by doing pure and natural behaviour with the purity of work and action by the norms and values of the traditional society. In this changing scenario of the world, free and spiritual writing is solely responsible for getting salvation at least for the authors and the question still grows how free meditation can be achieved through writing literary epistles.

It is to be said about the usage of free writing in literature. Firstly, what is the chief aim of free writing in literature? Is it for seeking pleasure? Is it closely related to our life? The most mystical poetess of India named Maha Devi Verma wrote about the importance of ideal literature in the fields of life, arts, and literature that idealism, having been absolved us, shows the combination of power to perceive the innermost hidden darkness of our sluttish narrow-mindedness. It provides us the wings to fly for the macrocosm with our limited knowledge and blesses us with the enlightenment of life combining our divided feelings. Unless or until the ideal ism spreads in the limitless colors and forms of the earth and its expanse of limitless extending as clouds in the sky, it is to be the sole aim of a spot of nothingness as in the silent clouds of winter. Idealism is used in the sense of specific conventions and assumptions, especially in the fields of science, philosophy, and literature. Idealism is against materialism and it is said to be the complement of spiritualism but there is always some difference in the unity of time and place.

Regarding the usage being the synonym of aestheticism, Socrates has written in a place that a basket full of cow dung is said to be the most beautiful aspect of aestheticism if it has a usage while a shining sword does not have any value if it is incomplete in its usage.

Life's philosophy and its values are developed with the meditation of free - writing. A man becomes a spiritual being after having developed his personality. There are three things based on truth, peace, and pleasure that are the quality of God's absolute form viz. Knowledge, impulse, and action. Knowledge is related to truth, action to consciousness, and the impulse to ecstasy. So according to God's attributes, these three elements are important in human life. Modern psychologists accept these three elements searching for the absolute form in all the things attributing the sameness not only in science, philosophy, and ethics but also in literature freely written.

Our soul dwindles in search of aestheticism but it is hard to get the pleasure of it. We can get its aesthetic pleasure only by going through the serious reading of great world literature come what may they belong to in any religion or any practice with deep brooding using the specific mental powers of all our understanding. So far it is satisfied with the absolute reasoning power and deep study that makes us nothingness. Aestheticism is beyond reason. It is but an impulse to feel.

Aesthetic idealists give importance to spiritualism against materialism, microcosms against realism, and pragmatism against imagination. The use of idealism in the field of literature is not for one and the other class of poetic genre or movement but for all in a specific way. So it is important to maintain a balance between realism and idealism. This is what we call meditation in literature and frees - spirit in writing. (c)

LET'S LOVE CHILDREN By M. A. Rathore

LET'S LOVE CHILDREN 

By M. A. Rathore

Let's love children;

We have forgotten to love them;

We have not given our attention to them;

We were inclined just 

To follow the traditional thoughts

And used to think accordingly;

Let our parents should feel otherwise.

Parents who do not love their children

Will not be remembered;

Children need only love from us;

They will get all other motivations from around;

They will make a way to earn their living;

They will find their way to serve us

Only if we love them they require.

We always try to make them follow

The rules that society makes for us;

We never let them do what they like;

Instead, try they should adopt our ways

Which are not proper to carry on;

We are killing their innate qualities

That God has endowed them.

We are against God 

If we are denying His universal laws;

The law that gives the right to enjoy life

With the love of the parents;

If they do not love their offspring

Then who will do this?

I do not favour them in all matters.

Creative Poetic Engery Breaks Down All Limits By M. A. Rathore

 Poetry is a game of words played skillfully and these words are but the instruments of animate and inanimate things of past, present, and future. So wherever it finds a creative force, it breaks down all the bondage of language spoken either in the tribal or civilized world in all times and spaces. 

Children are more creative and active than any other species in the world as a kitten behaves in response to something moving in front of it. Poetry breaks down all the obstacles of the civilized and uncivilized folk, in general living in urban and rural countries. Poetry is life in itself. As we breathe in the open air so also it takes her energy from the open sky of reality and imagination so vibrant at the time floating around us, of the day to - day matter, and even from the blood of our veins arising from mind and floating towards our heart vice - versa. 

No life is possible if there is no poetry, for it cannot be separated in any sense. No rhythm is possible if there is a scarcity of one and the other rhyme in the life of a man. His whole life is made up of music and with all its notes - high and low. Every person can recount the flow of life in his words if he tries to take a chance. Poetry understands feelings better than words spoken in support of the statement made to the public. Hence it does not require words but feelings and the way of expression as the poet feels at the time of the flow of the heart's spontaneous feelings or to escape from the most vibrant feelings of the heart. Poetry is not a figure of curved shape and 

lines drawn on the blank surface of words but the expression of beamlike dazzling light spreading in all the sides with equal force, Every word used in a poetic piece has a grandeur of epic-like expression that needs to be explained widely and understood deeply in all the dimensions. Poetry is like a kite of its kind that flies towards the limitless sky to know the known and unknown secrets of mostly tensed and ecstatic issues bringing down the solution in the way of expression. Poetry is a simple message clad in beautiful epithets and the figure of speeches the poet feels at the time of the most fertile imagination overwhelming him. Some words are fixed in an expression such as the proper key to the lock fitted to the hinge required. We know the words by their usage. 

For the creation of the best poetry, the right words should be chosen for the right situation. Accidently or with practice, the poet is successful in using them in their proper sense finding them as easy as it comes in the natural flow or without much tension and stress. Imagination is limitless that does not know the limits as poetry does in her field without knowing her limits of time and space. It is to be understood only in the same context as the poet feels at the time of composition. Ideas and imaginations bloom and spread the fragrance of it just like flowers. Imaginations never fade but bloom inside our hearts or outside the world. 

Poetry spreads its fragrance throughout the whole society with powerful ideas and expressions. Poetry does not distinguish between person to person. It behaves like innocent children who play with their peers crossing the manmade selfish or narrow boundaries of their houses and the society or locality they live in. Thus breaking all the bondage of civilization, poetry passes through the world equally as an electric current.©
