~ Robin Jani

Flowers are perfect visible and living symbols representing some of the fundamental feelings (Love, Joy, Bliss, and Peace) responsible for our existence. These fundamental feelings are now being understood by regulated objects. When we watch 2 imaginary characters indulged on screen, we realize “what is love?” When we read fictions, we come to know about “Joy” and “Bliss”. But between these regulated objects, we gradually lose learning from nature – the very pure form! We don’t feel excited when a tree wants to start a conversation, when a flower wants to sing a love song or when wind describes joyfulness.

With so much ’I’, we look at the nature and we never learn anything from flowers, trees, rivers and miss lifetime chances to sense love, peace, joy or divinity.

Go, sing with the flowers! Nurture them, grow up with them!

Laila – Majnu Story

It is reported that Majnu said,”To know Laila you will need the eyes of Majnu.”

The king of his area called Majnu and said. ”You are mad! I know your Laila – an ordinary girl, jet black – nothing special. I feel sorry for you, so here are twelve girls from my palace – they are the most beautiful women of the country. You can choose any one you like. Seeing you cry, my heart also cries.”

Majnu looked at them and said,”There is no Laila among them. They cannot even be compared to Laila, they are not even worth the dust of her feet.”

The king said,”Majnu, you are mad…!”

Majnu said,”That may be so, but I must tell you one thing: to see Laila you will need the eyes of Majnu.”

Majnu is right. To see the beauty of trees you need an eye for art – there is no other proof. If one wants to know love, one will need the heart of a lover – there is no other proof.

Butchers see skin, the beloved see being;
Skin is superficial, being is eternal.
With butcher inside, one cannot canvass beauty;
And with ghetto inside, one cannot realize beauty.
