Where shall I be taken? The Quest Remains
Where shall I be taken? The Quest Remains
My Quest to know
Never evaporates
Mingled in the body
Tingled by the Karma
Condoned ill health
Pardoned the sinful
Forgave the graceless
Overlooked the rude
Crossing the river of Life
Where shall I be taken?
The Quest Remains
Black Holes, Galaxies, Innumerable Universes
Thus in the vast abode
I shall dwell in peace
I do not care where
The Murderers, Dishonest, Wicked, Deceit have been taken
But am worried where
The People with Love, Truth, and Honesty sent
Countless have gone from here
Even Saints, Sufis, Sants, Rishis and Martyrs
Where shall I be taken?
The Quest Remains
Eyes wide open nights
In full consciousness
Like an insomniac
Buried in the thoughts
Of after leaving this body
Make me listen a lullaby
Make me know
So I shall sleep well
Have sweet dreams of the thought
Where shall I be taken?
The Quest Remains

Thanks Ranjini! Yes that song I heard, it really touches your heart. Those were the lyrics written with such a lot of meaning. I get goosebumps for most songs when heard.
Please read my ” Greatest Musicians and Lyricists of Bollywood” it is a ‘long read’ post, you take time for that and read in instalments.
Until we are in this body and are conscious of the body our ‘aham’ (ego) revolves around that, we cannot be we, us and ours it shall be only I, Me, Myself only.
Therefore when we expand our self and attain a greater consciousness the self itself becomes a greater self or till more greater it becomes the Universal Soul. Then the ‘Mahavaakya’- “Aham Brahma Asmi ” comes into light.

I have opened another tab to read your recommended post and I am reading it, shall comment there, it is good you put the link, so that reader could go there directly.
Regarding how to Re-Publish, here it is…
You go to the post You want to republish, there on each of the post you find written ‘Edit’ on the right hand corner bottom of the post. Click on that, the post opens for you to edit. On that page you shall find ‘Update’ on top right side corner in Blue just beside that is another small square in blue click on that, the calendar opens and says the date you published the post , say 10th March 2016 , now scroll the calendar to the present date that you would want to republish say today April 23rd 2017, then the time you want to publish, see how far you are away from the GMT the timezone it says you are so and so hrs away or before, schedule it for the time, when you schedule it for the time from the present time say after 30 mins from now it shall take it then press it as schedule and update, it shall accordingly be republished and your likes and comments shall remain intact, but the link shall be a new one, you may not bother about it unless you have given the link to many to come over there as you have done now above. You may always give the new link.
Hope that is all set now for you Dear Ladycee.
See you there in Heaven…..Hahaha

It is very good to publish Older posts, I sometimes do that of my favorite ones. We always tend to see the top posts of Bloggers and neglect the older ones which are most times Gems and Jewels.
