WE ARE GUESTS HERE FOR TWO DAYS ONLY

WE ARE GUESTS HERE FOR TWO DAYS ONLY

Yes, indeed, one day is meant for our coming into this world and another day for our leaving the world.

This Hindi Film Song of 1952 says a lot about life in this world.
( click here to listen to this song Sung by Priya Nathji)

The fact that hearts no longer meet and love no longer exists and there
is just the material world before us-- which ends abruptly in death
one day.

Some of these
lyricists who wrote film songs were not spiritual men by any means, but
what they wrote had a greater depth of meaning than many a spiritual
bhajan or hymn.

I recollect that this was a song that was
especially enjoyed by my father HH Shri Bhola Nathji (1902-1992) who was
a Great Spiritual Luminary of his time, and I recall that the song
prompted him to say:

"Wah! Wonderful!" when he first heard it during those days.

He would frequently say:

"They say my verse is sad,
It is quite natural,
As it contains the infinity of sorrow,
Not mine, but man's!"


The song brings the pathos of life in a few verses which is difficult
to express even in so many words. I sang it in 2012 and uploaded it at
the time.
