Abhay thanks for the update.
It was truly an emotional packed episode and I guess more to come especially on the part of Akbar.
Both PS and RT were awesome, that is why I love them and watch this show for them only.
I particularly loved the divine experienced Akbar had.
Yes it is a fact that Akbar harem is full of women from various marriages based on different circumstances so the creative time bringing is dialogues such as Akbar and MUZ been one may raise a lot of questions from some people. But from my perspective and little knowledge man ways are never God's ways and though out of stubbornness we go our own ways and do as we please His ways are always sure and does not change.
"18 And the Lord God said, "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him." 19 Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature that was its name. 20 So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.
"21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. 22 Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man".
23 And Adam said:
"This is now bone of my bones
And flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called Woman,
Because she was taken out of Man."24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed."
So every man does have his own rib though out of circumstances and greed some to take ribs that doesn't belong to them.
With regards to that we should not just brush that way nor make a big deal out of it too as the writers have a certain belief system they are bring into the writing of this track.
The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold,
Yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them Your servant is warned,
And in keeping them there is great reward.12 Who can understand his errors?
Cleanse me from secret faults.
13 Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins;
Let them not have dominion over me.
Then I shall be blameless,
And I shall be innocent of great transgression.14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.
Bea,
Wonderful post...Liked your select quotes from the scriptures..Though, i admit i could not get the complete depth of the meaning conveyed by this.. But made it for a nice read..
Also, after today, i am on same terms as you, as far as Ruqs is concerned. She is not going to remain so good for long, especially after her "Hamari Jodha Begum" bit. :-P
But, she is not going to be DARK , she will be within tolerable limits and i think she will get her due in some form or other soon...Whatever may be the case, i can watch this show until JJ are shown in backdrop of a proper story.. :D
