Incredible India…Incredibly Dear
Wednesday, August 14th, 2013
What is happening to Mother India? …67 years after Her Independence, the country where do we stand…? where have we taken our Beloved Motherland? Quoting Bhagawan’s Own words, The man who cannot proclaim that “This is my native land, this is my mother tongue” is a living corpse; he is no human being at all. People are giving up love for the Motherland and fostering greed for money. It is time for man to make amends and retrace his steps towards his dear Motherland, loving her with reverence and love, truly knowing the great good fortune the countrymen have been bestowed upon, writes Sri Jullie Chaudhuri on the occasioin of 67th National Independence Day.
Ae Merey Pyarey Watan…
Tujh Pey Dil Qurbaan…
Tu Hee Meri Aarzoo…
Tu Hee Meri Aabroo…
Tu Hee Meri Jaan…
(Indian Patriotic Song…that extols the Beloved Motherland as life, life breath and true love…while dedicating the heart to her…deeply acknowledging that she is the sole desire and in her lies all prestige, honour and dignity…)
A bit of Her is in everything you see,
She lives through you…
…She lives through me…
She is the Goddess of plenty…
…Her land exemplifies spirituality…
Her earth exudes that perfect purity…
Thus Her terrain is chosen time and again…
…by the Supreme Personality…
…through His myriad Advents…
…to express…
…His Ultimate Divinity…
This lofty privilege is granted solely to Her…
Oh! Thee so incredibly dear,
Beloved India…
Truly Incredible You are…
Oh! Most Gracious One…
Oh! Mother India…
Why then do i discern a certain despair…
…beneath that stoic veneer…?
Why then do i notice Your eyes…
…brimming over with droplets of tears…?
Why do i feel so…and know…
…know…that You know no peace…?
How can a Mother be at ease…?
From anxiety how can a Mother know release…
…when…
…Her children are overcome by virus and disease…
…being caught in the mire of selfish pursuits,
Disharmony, discord and greed…
…when attempts to reinstate righteousness…
…seem feigned and hackneyed…?
How can a Mother exult in freedom…
When…
…Her children live in the prison…
…of escalating wants…
Where,
Overriding integrity…desires supersede…
And ethics remain sullied…?
Can a Mother smile in content…
…when…
…the gushing stream of patriotism…
..of earnest sentiments for the Motherland…
…has been reduced to a paltry indifferent trickle…?
When sons and daughters now appear weak-willed and fickle…?
When brave committed hearts,
Remain just a memory relegated to the past…?
On what grounds…
…can You have peace, Oh! Mother…
…when hypocrisy abounds and immorality astounds…?
Oh! Most Wondrous Motherland…
How i wish…
…i could help overcome Your melancholy and anguish…
Assuring wholesome substance of sustained effort,
Alleging earnest support…
By lighting a coil of trust and hope…
…which would herald kindred harmony and accord…
…where every Indian heart…
…would beat in adoration for You…
…dedicating extreme dedication to You…
…pledging utmost loyalty for You…
…for their homeland…
Thus making You feel reassured…
Your sync restored…
What can i do to make You smile…
…an eternal smile…
Oh! Glorious Mother of mine…
So that…
…from thoughts of the past and future…
…You may never recoil…
Blessed am i…
…to have been born upon Your soil,
Oh! Land of my birth,
For all that You mean to me…
…i salute Thee and Thy abundance…
Offering deep reverence -
To Thy presence…Thy essence…
…and Thy distinct fragrance…
i do feel passionately for You…
…as well as all that You have gone through…
It is time enough to let You know…
…how precious You are…
…i delight in remaining within Your sphere…
Oh! Thee ever so endearingly dear…
…i pray for Thy peace in the now and here…
Oh! Beloved Motherland…
…most beautiful and bountiful by far…
Incredibly dear…
Oh! Incredible India…
Truly…remarkably incredible You are…
