Mystic Quotes

A real story from Konni, Pathanamthitta, Kerala:
A BPL family got water connection. Everyone was happy . The tap never gave any water after initial testing but after 3-4 months a bill of Rs. 480/- came in June 2024. The poor widow lady went to the local water office to complain that she had received a water bill showing meter reading zero. She also told authorities that being a BPL family she was told that no water bill will come.

The officials told her that her connection is yet to be converted to BPL and thus she has to pay the bill. They told that the connection will be converted to BPL in January 2025. Further, they directed her to an engineer. The engineer confirmed that as the water tank is still under construction so no water has been supplied to her as reflected in zero meter reading.

The lady asked them that she wants to surrender the water connection to which the officials told her that then she needs to pay panchayat penalty for agreeing to a water connection and then surrendering it. They told her that they will temporarily disconnect the connection but in case the meter reading will reflect any usage then she will face water theft charges.

बन्दे ने पुछा यह क्या है मौला
खुदा बोले - एक खेल, एक खिलौना, एक नज़ारा , एक फुव्वारा ..

How a rishi can distinguish when all is odd
yet everything is even..

क़तरा मिला समंदर से समंदर हो गया
आशिक मिला जो मौत से क़लंदर हो गया ।

ਰੁਤਬਾ-ਏ-ਇਸ਼ਕ ਗ਼ਾਫ਼ਿਲ੍ ਤੇਰੀ ਕਸ਼ਤੀ ਤੋਂ ਦੂਰ ਹੈ
ਨਾ ਰੱਖੇ ਭਰਮ ਕੋਈ
ਸਚੇ ਵਾਰਿਸ ਤਾਂ ਭੋਰੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਲੀਨ ਨੇ ।।
ਜੋ ਨੇ ਬੱਸ ਨਾਮ ਦੇ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਕਿ ਦੇਗਾਂ ਵਰਤਾਉਣਗੇ
ਦੋ-ਚਾਰ ਆਗੂ ਲਈ ਸੱਬੇ ਡੁਬਾੳਣਗੇ
ਸਮਾਂ ਆਉਣ ਤੇ ਕਾਰਾਗਾਰ ਦੇ ਬੂਹੇ
ਆਪੇ ਹੀ ਖੁਲ਼ ਜਾਣਗੇ ।।

Friend , our closeness is this :
Anywhere you put your foot,
feel me in the firmness under you.
How is it with this love ,
I see your world , but not you?
- Jalaluddin Rumi

दरवाज़े की दस्तक को पहचान काफ़िर
ख़ुदा यूँ चलके हर दर पे नहीं आता ..
