Maala

Details

An original work on canvas by Bharti Prajapati.

She has derived the essence of her painting from a doha by Kabir.
With a fast and competitive lifestyle, it's indeed a soul soothing experience to absorb some wise words from a great saint, philosopher and guide.

Mala pherat jug bhaya, phira na mann ka pher,
mala toh kar mai phire, jibh phire muah maahi.
Manava toh dahu dhishi phire, yah toh sumiran naahi.

Turning rosary beads is not the way to change one’s mind.
While your hands turn around rosary beads, your tongue wags in the mouth.
Your mind twists and turns in various directions, are you even aware of this state of self?
How is the connect with divine possible when the mind and body are not in sync.
Therefore, a mind and heart aware and focused, in harmony with the divine is true worship.
