जीत जीत तुमने उम्र गुजारी, अब तो हार फकीरा
जीत का मोल चार कौडियां, हार का मोल हीरा !!
Embracing the profound wisdom of the verse by Santa Sufi, "जीत जीत तुमने उम्र गुजारी, अब तो हार फकीरा" I have discovered a path that leads beyond the confines of competitive races. This verse has gently whispered in my heart that the victories I have achieved throughout my life's journey were not the ultimate goal, but rather stepping stones towards a greater understanding. With each accomplishment, I have realized that I have been nurturing the spirit of a humble "फकीरा," a wanderer detached from worldly gains, who finds solace in the simplicity of existence.
The verse continues with "जीत का मोल चार कौडियां, हार का मोल हीरा" metaphorically expressing a captivating truth. It conveys that in the pursuit of success, the cost is often measured in material terms, symbolized by "चार कौडियां" (coins), while in moments of surrender and letting go, one discovers the priceless treasure of a "हीरा" (diamond) that represents the inner gem of spiritual realization.
In quitting the mad rush for mere achievements, I have found a sanctuary within, where the essence of life is not measured by the fleeting "चार कौडियां" of victories, but rather the timeless "हीरा" of inner transformation. This precious gem of understanding reminds me that every experience, whether labeled a victory or defeat, contributes to my spiritual evolution. Just as a "हीरा" remains radiant regardless of its setting, my inner light gleams brighter, liberated from the weight of expectations and comparisons.
Now, I have chosen to stride with a heart full of gratitude and a soul at peace. Each step I take is no longer burdened by the desire for victory, but guided by the wisdom of surrender. The verse's guidance has turned my life into a canvas where I paint with the hues of contentment and self-discovery. It is as if every day is a gentle reminder that my journey is not defined by races won or lost, but by the authenticity of my presence and the depth of my experiences.
