Business to the Buddha

  • Evening news







    As usual, I was sitting in the Best bus, coming back home from office. The day was same and everyone was tired dozing off in the bus itself. I put in my ear plugs and – after ages – started radio on my mobile. FM gold – Govt run FM channel – was playing an old, inconspicuous and lesser known song. Since the song was sung by Manna De Sab, I stopped and listened to it. The lyrics of the song made me share it here. Systems would remain the same, this song is of 1979 – that time Politician used to say “…eradicate poverty”, still the same.

    In fact today itself heard Sheela Dixit (CM of Delhi) said INR 600 is enough for family of 5 to survive for a month. I think she means perhaps all would die in the cold of Delhi during December and therefore 600 would help buy stuff for last rites.

    At one place the singer says – “…izm aata to leader na bantaa”, we are indeed dividing people in the name of isms – socialism, religionism etc that was true even before I was born. Strange but true. It reminded me of my old blog – When Buddha dies, schools are born.

    Very insightful statement in the song – “…Ego ka jhagada” fight of ego.

    There is a saying in English – History repeats itself – “…naam aur tareekh ka chakkar hai doston varna har khabar laut kar aati hai is sansaar mein” The lyrics of the song state the same, read a news paper without date, and you would be able to relate news to something or the other.

    History repeats itself, really! One news stated is similar to what happened in the time of Mahabharat (about 5000 years ago). “…bhai ki saali | bhagaa kar le gayaa ik bhai“

    Watch, listen, read and enjoy the song – Evening news, by Manna De, Lyrics Sudarshan Faakir, Music – Jaidev Movie – Doorian.

  • Pocahontas – “Colors Of The Wind”







    I heard these lyrics and liked it, specially few lines, thought to share it on my blog. Though, I do not want to take beauty of  lyrics yet cannot stop myself  from writing

    “…And we are all connected to each other” – this relates to interdependent co-arising

    “…Come roll in all the riches all around you” – I felt it often, that (at least in metro cities) we are so much bogged into  our daily commitment that we don’t even look up in the evening at these beautiful constellation of stars. We are running behind the ‘riches’ of pockets and losing on the wonders around us

    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvvZ1TEQRB8]!

    You think I’m an ignorant savage
    And you’ve been so many places
    I guess it must be so
    But still I cannot see
    If the savage one is me
    How can there be so much that you don’t know?
    You don’t know …

    You think you own whatever land you land on
    The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
    But I know every rock and tree and creature
    Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

    You think the only people who are people
    Are the people who look and think like you
    But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
    You’ll learn things you never knew you never knew

    Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
    Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
    Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?
    Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
    Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

    Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
    Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth
    Come roll in all the riches all around you
    And for once, never wonder what they’re worth

    The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
    The heron and the otter are my friends
    And we are all connected to each other
    In a circle, in a hoop that never ends

    How high will the sycamore grow?
    If you cut it down, then you’ll never know
    And you’ll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon

    For whether we are white or copper skinned
    We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
    We need to paint with all the colors of the wind

    You can own the Earth and still
    All you’ll own is Earth until
    You can paint with all the colors of the wind
