Who came from where and who is the greatest among all the human interests sitting in reality? There was a debate about Poetry, conversation, ghazal, story, essay, play and many others had been told about themselves, but the story was easy and lying in the thoughts sitting in the corner. When it was her turn to draw everyone’s attention to her, she pretended to clear her throat and started telling about herself.
“My very dear friends, before my little story I would like to express my feelings on your thoughts. As you all have expressed your existence, I do not agree with some of them. Instead of showing me your eyes after listening to me, open your eyes and look into your own mind. Those who claim to be older than each other, are we not all brothers and sisters? We are all the products of coexistence, i.e. brothers and sisters, that have come into being by awakening human interests. Although siblings are older and younger than each other, they are not older and younger in families. Wise brothers and sisters are partners, not partners.
Coming to our existence, let me tell you that events started happening with human existence. In order to carry forward their memories and life experiences, as the taste of human talk got mixed, the curiosity and interests of the three people also started to grow and my shoots started to sprout. With the passage of time, I spread my roots and grew taller. First, generation after generation through someone’s words and then with the words, I started to be engraved on letters and papers. No one remembers his birth, only his mothers and grandmothers talk about the memories of Manakh, who was he at the time of birth and when did he start doing something. The same thing happened to me, but I am telling as much as I have heard. When Maharishi Balmiki’s hands made a sharp beak and started to depict the happenings around by making special scratches on the leaves with it, then as soon as the words were formed and the identity was formed, I started to come into shape.
I do not claim that any of you existed before that time or that all came into existence after me, but I do not hesitate to say that by my use human interests began to arise, and from the habit of nitpicking over trifles. Many of you incarnated. Of course, my appearance continued to undergo major changes, but you were not like this at birth. Everyone has had to change with time and will continue to have to. Human nature is also like this, we cannot think about maintaining our existence apart from it.
In the 12th century, Sheikh Farid and then Kabir ji, with the aim of putting the world on a straight path, started taking the verses from me and molding them into a rhyming form, and then the big-headed people took different names according to their beliefs. Someone started chanting, someone praised God and someone else. Chandbandi was also born and matured in this period. I held the finger of many poets and pushed them forward. By then, paper, pen and ink had also come into existence, but the differences of dialects at a distance of twelve kohans, became a hindrance in spreading the identity of scribes. Gurbani began to flow from Baba Nanak’s Samadhi. He rhymed the voice of his mind and played it in tunes suitable for the time of day and season.
Ah sata my hero story, I had grown up playing this game with my own hands. It was only after my contact with the Sufis that Bulleh Shah and other saints wrote a lot to connect people with nature. If I had not done the things of Puran-Bhagat, Heer-Ranjhe, Shiri-Friyad, Sasi-Punnu, then where would Veer Kise have found them.
With the passage of time, the number of our brothers and sisters increased. The thinkers caught the pulse of the times and improved our habits so that we remain the choice of our suitors. In the same way that humans are divided into religions, we too began to be divided into categories. A single text started to be praised and criticized. Even if our values began to fall, I did not suffer much, as much as it hurts to have a tendency to take the good with the bad and the bad with the head. The technological revolution in the present era has made it very easy for us to print on paper, but the small devices held in everyone’s hands have also eliminated the need for paper and ink to do our Darshan. This revolution has not eliminated human interests, but it has certainly been eroded. Now you don’t have to go to the library to read literature. Everything desired appears on the screen of the toy held in the hand.
My dear sisters and heroes, don’t be sad. We are to teach the readers about diversity in unity. Our existence is unity and it rests on it. From time immemorial, time has run its course and will continue to run. Along with his teachings, we should never hesitate to make changes in our appearance in keeping with human interests. This is my message and this is the small story of your sister’s story that I have shared to cheer you up.
