The book yet to be published.
"Gahe gahe ise padha keeje,
Dil se badh kar koi kitaab nahi."
(Once in a while, keep reading this,
There is no greater book than the heart)
----a couplet from Jagjit Singh's Album.
Reading once in a while our own heart is tantamount to reading the greatest booked published ever. All what is needed is to bend the neck a little forward and look in the heart.
This is the book yet to be published, hence not in the best sellers chart, not on the selves of any library-public or private, not yet priced, not yet sold, not yet purchased, not yet possessed by anybody except by the person who holds it in his/her body or conscience. It does not even has a title. Some may call it soul, though.
This the book not fully read or grasped. The more you try to read it, the more it becomes complex. You may tend to find different meanings for the same word. For example :
-what is truth? If it is opposite of lie, then what is lie?
-what is sin? If it is opposite of virtue then what is virtue?
-what is life? If it is opposite of death, then what is death?
It's commands and teaching can be very controversial also. It keeps on fighting with the mind. Mind anyways keeps on fighting with itself, does not need an enemy to fight with, yet keeps fighting with this. Mind has the capacity to express itself in words but seldom listens to the writings in this book.
Millions of books have been published. Has anyone captured what this book of heart say? Millions of quotations are circulating around from these books. Is anyone closer to the hearts of millions?
