A serious thought

Yesterday again I saw ‘Swadesh’- the eponymous movies starring the charismatic Sharukh Khan. The concept of the movie is that much brilliant that it manages to enthral me every time I give it a deco. But the most beautiful are some of the lines from the song ‘Pal Pal Hai Bhari’ reproduced below.
Ram hi to karuna mein hai,
Shanti mein ram hain
Ram hi hai ekta mein,
Pragati mein ram hain
Ram bas bhakton nahin, shatru ke bhi chintan mein hain
Dekh taj ke paap raavan, ram tere man mein hain ....

For those ignorant with the national language, the above lines translated means that the god exists in compassion, in peace, in unity in progress .Not only in the hearts of the devotees but in the thoughts of enemies’ god resides. Most important of these is the last set of words which say that the god exists in the heart of devil too; only thing that is needed is for the devil to peek into his heart.
The reason for highlighting these particular lines is not that the clever play of the word by the lyricist, but the essence of the human philosophy inherent in them. The particular philosophy is known by everyone subconsciously, but what is regrettable is the fact that the aforementioned fact is ignored by us all.
Think on these lines and please convey your messages to me.....
Adios.....
