These Kabir dohas came to my mind today, when I was thinking again and again, whether Devki will live upto the occasion and gather the courage to tell the truth...............Today, it is not a battle between wife and mother.........this is battle of TRUTH and lies, battle of Dharm and Adharm, Nyay and Anyay (justice and injustice), and when war is ON, every one has to take side, no one can remain neutral..............
Jaise Til Mein Tel Hai, Jyon Chakmak Mein Aag
Tera Sayeen Tujh Mein Hai, Tu Jaag Sake To Jaag
Translation
Like the Oil is inside the Seed, Just as the Fire is Inside the Flint Stone
Your God is Inside You, If you have the Power to Wake Up, then Wake Up
Meaning
God is within, like the oil in the seed - wake up if you have the power to.
Jyon Naino Mein Putli, Tyon Maalik Ghat Mahin
Moorakh Log Na Janhin, Baahar Dhudhan Jahin
Translation
Like the pupil is in the eyes , Your God lives inside you,
The ignorant don't know this, they search Him on the outside
Meaning
God is within, the ignorant look for Him on the outside.
Devki leaves on Tirth yatra, as she is very anxious for Radhika and wants the well being of Radhika..........But some where deep down is also the guilt that she has sinned by lying to Shastriji and done adharm by snatching the rights of Radhika, and sending un wedded girl to lead life of married woman................
But if, tomorrow, she does NOT tell the truth, what is the use of Tirth Yatra (or going to haridwar or any temple in search of God).............
If tomorrow, she is courageous and walks on marg on Dharm (path of justice and righteousness) and utters Satya Vachan(truth), even if the path is difficult and she has to face th wrath of the society and Shastriji.......... then her Yatra is successful in every way...........because they say, God is within you and biggest service offered to God is, being truthful and walking on path of justice.
As they say, Kingdom of God is within you, and if you chose to neglect it, the loss is yours......
Will she prove to be Yashoda maiyya for Radhika or Kayeki ma, who loved Ram, yet was the cause of his exile, Only time will tell..................
