Raawan jesa bhai

Ek garbhwati( pregnant) aurat ne apni beti se
pucha-'kya chahiye tujhe, bahan ya bhai'
.
Ladaki boli - bhai
.
Maa ne pucha- kis ke jaisa
Ladki- Raawan jesa
.
Maa ko gussa aaya, baap ne aankhe dikhayi. Kya bak rahi hai
.
Ladaki boli-'ha maa, mujhe Raawan jesa bhai chahiye, jisne parayi aurat ka haran krne k bad bhi use chua tak nhi,
.
Jisne bahan ki ijjat ke liye pura rajvansh daav pe laga diya
.
'please maa, mujhe raawan sa bhai de do, taki me duniya se garv sekah saku- 'wo mera bhai hai.'.

Religious Thought 141



But truly great souls seek my divine nature. They worship me with a one-pointed mind, having realized that I am the eternal source of all. Constantly striving, they make firm their resolve and worship me without wavering. Full of devotion, they sing my divine glory.
- Bhagavad Gita 9:13-14

Regard him as one who points out treasure, the wise one who seeing your faults rebukes you. Stay with this sort of sage. For the one who stays with a sage of this sort, things get better, not worse.
- Dhammapada, 6, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.
