One Of The Best Arguments.!!

One Of The Best Arguments.!! I have ever read

Don’t miss even a single word…. It’s Too good

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty.
He asks one of his new students to stand and…..

Prof: So you believe in God?

Student: Absolutely, sir.

Prof: Is God good?

Student: Sure.

Prof: Is God all-powerful?

Student: Yes..

Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn’t. How is this God good then? Hmm?
(Student is silent.)

Prof: You can’t answer, can you? Let’s start again, young fella. Is God good?

Student: Yes.

Prof: Is Satan good?

Student: No.

Prof: Where does Satan come from?

Student: From….God…

Prof: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student: Yes.

Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it? And God did make everything. Correct?

Student: Yes.

Prof: So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)

Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?

Student: Yes, sir.

Prof: So, who created them?
(Student has no answer.)

Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son…Have you ever seen God?

Student: No, sir.

Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?

Student: No, sir.

Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?

Student: No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.

Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student: Yes.

Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn’t exist.
What do you say to that, son?

Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.

Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.

Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Prof: Yes.

Student: And is there such a thing as cold?

Prof: Yes.

Student: No sir. There isn’t.
(The lecture the after becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat..
But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it .
(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)

Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?

Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright
light, flashing light…..But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it’s called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?

Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?

Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?

Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can’t even explain a thought.. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is
not the opposite of life: just the absence of it.
Now tell me, Professor.Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)

Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher? (The class is in uproar.)

Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain,sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Prof: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.

Student: That is it sir… The link between man & god is FAITH . That is all that keeps things moving & alive.

I believe you have enjoyed the conversation…and if so…you’ll probably want your friends/colleagues to enjoy the same…won’t you?….this is a true story, and the

student was none other than …….

Goddess Harsiddhi

Shri Harsiddhi Mataji is the 'Kul Devi' or the deity of the erstwhile royal family of Rajpipla State. The idol was brought from Ujjain, where stands the original temple of Shri Harsiddhi Mataji. In this context it is important to understand the history of Rajpipla. Before the arrival of the Gohils, Rajpipla was ruled by the Parmar dynasty, a branch of the royal family of Ujjain, descendants of the famous King Vikramaditya. Around the middle of the fourteenth century, the Parmar ruler of Rajpipla, Chokrana, who did not have a male issue, adopted Samarsinhji, the son of his daughter and Mokhdaji Gohil, chief of Ghogha in Saurashtra.


Samarsinhji assumed the name Arjunsinhji, and thus began the rule of the Gohils over Rajpipla. The Gohils continued to worship Shri Harsiddhi Mataji. The erstwhile royal family offers prayers at the temple during the auspicious religious festival of Navratri, which culminates with the paying of obeisance to Shri Harsiddhi Mataji on Dusehra. Even today the members of the royal family and the public alike seek the blessings of the goddess before beginning any auspicious task. A large number of citizens of Rajpipla, and from far and wide, visit the temple every day to make offerings. People have immense faith in the powers of Shri Harsiddhi Mataji and seek Her protection.


One among the shaktipeeths of Hindu Mythology, Harsiddhi Temple, in Ujjain is the abode of numerous Goddesses of Hindu Pantheon. One among the fascinating aspect of this shrine is the structure which is made up of a rock smeared with turmeric paste and vermilion .The temple turns magnificient on the eve of the Navaratri festival, when hundreds of lamps on the 15 feet lamp stand being lit together.

Yet another characteristic feature of the marvelous shrine is the presence of Sri Yantra, or nine triangles that represent nine names of Goddess Durga. This lovely shrine also houses images of other goddess also. The famous dark vermilion image of Annapurna, the Goddess of Nourishment, and the idol of Mahasaraswati, the Goddess of Wisdom and Knowledge are significant for their typical Maratha architecture.

Captain Planet and the Planeteers

Captain Planet and the Planeteers is an American animated environmentalist television program, based on an idea by Ted Turner and Robert Larkin III. The show was produced by Andy Heyward, Robby London, Barbara Pyle and Nicholas Boxer. The series was developed and co-produced by Turner Program Services along with the partnership of DiC Entertainment and ran new episodes from September 15, 1990 until December 5, 1992. A sequel series, The New Adventures of Captain Planet, ran for three seasons and was produced by Turner Broadcasting and then-corporate sibling Hanna-Barbera Productions. Both programs continue today in syndication.

Gaia, the spirit of the Earth, is awakened from a long sleep by human activity threatening ecosystems, taking place across the globe. Realizing that the damage is extensive, Gaia sends five magic rings, each with the power to control an element of nature and one controlling an extra element, heart, to five chosen youths across the globe: Kwame from Africa, Wheeler from North America, Linka from Soviet Union (changed to Eastern Europe after the Soviet Union's collapse), Gi from Asia and Ma-Ti from South America. These five are dubbed the Planeteers and given the task of defending the Earth in the case of the greatest of disasters and making effort to keep others from happening. Gaia uses her "Planet Vision" to discover where the most devastating destruction is occurring and sends the Planeteers to help solve the problem. The Planeteers use transportation (usually a flying machine called a Geo-Cruiser) based on solar power to avoid causing pollution themselves.

In situations that the Planeteers cannot resolve alone, they can combine their powers to summon Captain Planet, a magical entity who possesses all of their powers magnified, symbolizing the premise that the combined efforts of a team are stronger than its individual parts. Captain Planet only appears in his Captain Planet garb. These are not clothes but elements of the Earth that are integral to his composition. He is able to rearrange his molecular structure to transform himself into the various powers and elements of nature. Captain Planet's outfit does not represent a specific culture.[citation needed] He has grass-green hair, sky-blue skin, earthy brown eyes, a fire-red chest, gloves, and boots, and a sun-yellow globe insignia. In a manner similar to the early Superman, Planet has seemingly godlike superhuman powers, and seems to gain more proportionate to whatever the situation requires. Nevertheless, he is weakened by pollutants which sap his strength, from smog to nuclear radiation, in much the same manner that Superman is weakened by Kryptonite.

The Planeteers cannot use their individual powers while Captain Planet has been summoned. Despite his vulnerability to pollution, Captain Planet is a formidable and valiant hero. Once his work is done, Captain Planet returns to the Earth, restoring the Planeteers' powers. When he does this, Captain Planet reminds viewers of the message of the series with his catchphrase, "The power is yours!"

read this story carefully

Once there were three trees on a hill in the woods. They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the first tree said, "Someday I hope to be a treasure chest. I could be filled with gold, silver and precious gems. I could be decorated with intricate carving and everyone would see the beauty."
Then the second tree said, "Someday I will be a mighty ship. I will take kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of the world. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the strength of my hull."

Finally the third tree said, "I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest tree in the forest. People will see me on top of the hill and look up to my branches, and think of the heavens and God and how close to them I am reaching. I will be the greatest tree of all time and people will always remember me."

After a few years of praying that their dreams would come true, a group of woodsmen came upon the trees. When one came to the first tree he said, "This looks like a strong tree, I think I should be able to sell the wood to a carpenter" ... and he began cutting it down. The tree was happy, because he knew that the carpenter would make him into a treasure chest.

At the second tree a woodsman said, "This looks like a strong tree, I should be able to sell it to the shipyard." The second tree was happy because he knew he was on his way to becoming a mighty ship.

When the woodsmen came upon the third tree, the tree was frightened because he knew that if they cut him down his dreams would not come true. One of the woodsmen said, "I don't need anything special from my tree so I'll take this one", and he cut it down.

When the first tree arrived at the carpenters, he was made into a feed box for animals. He was then placed in a barn and filled with hay. This was not at all what he had prayed for. The second tree was cut and made into a small fishing boat. His dreams of being a mighty ship and carrying kings had come to an end. The third tree was cut into large pieces and left alone in the dark. The years went by, and the trees forgot about their dreams.

Then one day, a man and woman came to the barn. She gave birth and they placed the baby in the hay in the feed box that was made from the first tree. The man wished that he could have made a crib for the baby, but this manger would have to do. The tree could feel the importance of this event and knew that it had held the greatest treasure of all time. Years later, a group of men got in the fishing boat made from the second tree. One of them was tired and went to sleep. While they were out on the water, a great storm arose and the tree didn't think it was strong enough to keep the men safe. The men woke the sleeping man, and he stood and said "Peace" and the storm stopped. At this time, the tree knew that it had carried the King of Kings in its boat.

Finally, someone came and got the third tree. It was carried through the streets as the people mocked the man who was carrying it. When they came to a stop, the man was nailed to the tree and raised in the air to die at the top of a hill. When Sunday came, the tree came to realize that it was strong enough to stand at the top of the hill and be as close to God as was possible, because Jesus had been crucified on it.

The moral of this story is that when things don't seem to be going your way, always know that God has a plan for you. If you place your trust in Him, He will give you great gifts. Each of the trees got what they wanted, just not in the way they had imagined. We don't always know what God's plans are for us. We just know that His ways are not our ways, but His ways are always best.

ગુજરાતી ગઝલો / કાવ્યો

દઝાડતી ચાંદની ને ફુલ ડસતા હતા
દિવાનગીની વાત છે,કાંટા ગમતા હતા
હો એક બે તો વાત માંડીને કરી શકુ,
ચહ્રેરાઓ કાંઈક આંખોમાં રમતા હતા!

આકાશ ના વિસ્તાર માં પણ મે તને જોઇ હતી,
પાતાળ ના ધબકાર માં પણ મે તને જોઇ હતી,
કયાં ક્યાં જોઇ હતી ના પુછ તુ મને હવે,
ભગવાન ના આકાર માં પણ મે તને જોઇ હતી.

લાગણી મારી છે આર્યુવૈદ જેવી,
એટલે મોડી થાશે તને અસર,
હોત તુ પથ્થર તો સારુ થાત,
તને પુજી શકત પુછ્યા વગર.

જે ગઝલ ના થઇ શકે એવા પણ ભાવો હોય છે,
આંખ થી દેખાય નહીં એવા પણ ઘાવો હોય છે,
બે જણા વચ્ચે કશુક રોપાય પણ વિકસે નહીં,
આપણી તો હર કથા નો અંત આવો હોય છે.

જીદંગીમા ક્યારેક મળે છે જીદંગીને એક જીદંગી,
પછી એ જીદંગીના સહારે નીકળે છે આ જીદંગીની પૂરી જીદંગી.
પરંતુ જો જીદંગીની રાહ પર સાથ છોડે આ જીદંગીનો જો એ જીદંગી,
તો પછી જીદંગીને પણ ભારે પડે છે વિતાવવી આ પૂરી જીદંગી.

નથી મારી તાસીરમાં કે હું કોઈ ની ફરિયાદ કરું,
સારું તો એ છે કે, એટલો સમય ખુદ ને યાદ કરું.
નથી એવું કે, પ્રેમ કરે તો જ કોઈને પણ પ્રેમ કરું.
મારો સ્વભાવ છે, નફરત કરે એને પણ પ્રેમ કરું.

કેટ્લીક વાતો ની શરુઆત યાદ છે,
અધુરા અંત ની મુલાકાત યાદ છે,
દરિયા માં આવે છે ભરતી-ઓટ યાદ છે,
કિનારા ને તો ફક્ત રેતી માં પડેલા પગલા જ યાદ છે.

યુગો ની ઓળખ પલ માં ડુબી જાય છે,
જેમ આકાશ માં થી તારો ખરી જાય છે,
આપણે ગમેતેવા દાવ્-પેચ ખેલીયે દોસ્તો,
પણ હુકમ નો એક્કો તો કુદરત જ ફેંકી જાય છે,

કોઇ કહે છે દુનિયા પ્રેમ પર ચાલે છે,
કોઇ કહે છે દુનિયા મિત્રતા પર ચાલે છે,
જયારે અનુભવ થયો ત્યારે અનુભવ્યુ કે,
દુનિયા તો ફકત પોતાના મતલબ પર ચાલે છે.

આ સાંજ રોજ આટલી ખૂંખાર કયાં હતી ?
તારું સ્મરણ હતું પણ તલવાર કયાં હતી ?
લોકો હતા બસ એ જ અને એ જ હાથ પણ -
આ પથ્થરો ને પહેલા વળી ધાર ક્યા હતી ?

mujhe to apno ne luta

10 REASONS WHY OSAMA GOT KILLED!!!

1. Manmohan Singh is not President of US.
2. Barack Obama doesn’t take permission from Sonia ji.
3. He was not hiding in India. Our system is unable to find a Chief Minister in own country, can you expect them to find Osama.
4. He didn’t surrender himself to Indian government. This government is not able to give death sentence to already arrested and proven guilty Ajmal Kasab and Afzal Guru after years. Osama could have spent a lifetime here at our expense and at 7 star comfort..
5. CBI was not incharge of investigation and operation. They are busy in saving Kalmadi ,Raja, Kanimozi, Balwa etc.
6. Amar Singh didn’t leak the tape of Obama’s phone, neither talked to Jayaprada at night on this.
7. In Pakistan, he was not in minority community, so no human right activist and secular journalist came to save him, bechara Padgaonkar, Mahesh Bhatt, Shabana Azmi, Arundhoti Roy etc.etc.
8. He didn’t meet Ekta Kapoor. She could have given him tips to be alive again.
9. He didn’t request Rajnikant to save him.
10. Last but not the least. He trusted Pakistan. But our Manmohan Singh loves to trust Pakistan.

Thought of the day: No one is safe in Pakistan.....not even Osama Bin Laden. Everyone is safe in India......even Ajmal Kasab & all the political thieves, rogue babus, businessmen. Wonder how India survives - even flourishes.

She Wants to Know What Love Is

She wants to know what love is

As their evening starts

Discussions aplenty

Straight from their heart

She wants to know what love is

As they sit holding hands

Laughing and enjoying

Two in understand

She wants to know what love is  

As their evening progresses

Where a glass of wine is shared

Their conversation caresses

She wants to know what love is

As their song is played

Where their delight is revealed

Their holding, displayed

She wants to know what love is

As their lips touch

Their hands in adventure

Let them roam as such

She wants to know what love is

In tender undress

Flesh to flesh

Chest to breasts

She wants to know what love is

Her inner flow

To share and join

In bonding glow

She wants to know what love is

All through the night

To be in his arms

Cuddled and right

She wants to know what love is

As she awakes the next day

Still clenched as they spoon

Their loving, says...

છોકરી ને પ્રપોઝ કરીએ ત્યારે છોકરી ના શું જવાબો હોઇ શકે?

છોકરી ને પ્રપોઝ કરે ત્યારે સામે છોકરી ના શું જવાબો હોઇ શકે.. ? એમાના કેટલાક જવાબો અહિ છે.

1) ના.. ( જાણે આ એક જ શબ્દ આવડતો હોય! )


2) મે ક્યારેય નહ્તુ વિચાર્યું કે તમે મારા વિશે આવું વિચરો છો. ( લે.. આ વિચારે પણ છે?! )

Eternal Truth

Defining Eternal Truth

E – Egotism
T – Troubles
E – Education
R – Restlessness
N – Normality
A – Almighty
L – Love

Egotism

"Wherever you go, you will always bear yourself about with you, and so you will always find yourself." – Thomas Kempis

In no century, you will find a man without egotism. This is the fact of human being. Running after material things, we find burning ourselves in fire of egotism instead of finding true success.

Trouble – Swallowing Sorrow

"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain." – Revelation

Everything is to experience. We learn from our mistakes. If you really want to free from trouble, learn from it. You will not repeat the same process again that pains you. Once you learn swallowing sorrow inside, you will find happiness outside.

Education

"Who is wise? He who learns from all men" – Talmud

Since birth of human being, there has been one thing constant – learning. We have progressed now up to great invention of science and technology. We learned from one another, time, place and nature. Learning is the fact of every one’s life. 

Restlessness – Finding Peace

‘O Krishna, the stillness of divine union which you describe is beyond my comprehension. How can the mind, which is so restless, attain lasting peace? Krishna, the mind is restless, turbulent, powerful, violent; trying to control it is like trying to tame the wind.’ – Arjuna (Bhagavad Gita)

Controlling mind is big job. The fact is we could not. Most of the time I found people talking about ‘I’ and ‘Me’. The Buddha says, "He insulted me, he cheated me, he beat me, he robbed me – those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace". Winning over five senses is search after true peaceful life. 

Normal – Unity of Ordinariness

"I claim to be an average man of less than average ability. I have not the shadow of a doubt than any man or woman can achieve what I have, if he or she would make the same effort and cultivate the same home and faith." – Mahatma Gandhi

This man proved that everything lives in unity. Extraordinariness is just illusion. The common man only does extra ordinary things. Unity is symbol of great strength. It is just like finding our common features rather our distinct natures.

Almighty 

God is the truth. He takes care of us in every situation is again fact.

"Whoever approaches Me walking, I will come to him running; and he who meets Me with sins equivalent to the whole world, I will greet him with forgiveness equal to it." – 
Mishkatal- Masabaih

There is proverb in Hindu "When we take one step towards God, he takes seven steps toward us." Even Jesus urged the world to believe in God. "Ask and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you." 

 

Love

"Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude." – I Corinthians. True love is not to remember one bad thing forgetting ninety-nine good things done by the person.

Without love, our survival is impossible.

Everything that I defined under heading of an eternal truth has great impact on our lives in every century. We shall not deny this fact. We have seen the mysterious and supernatural impacts of these factors in our lives.

Perception

 

One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live.

They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return from the trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?" "It was great, Dad".

"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.

"Oh yes", said the son. "So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.

The son answered, "I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.
 

Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants to serve us, but they serve others.

We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."

The boy's father was speechless. Then his son added, "Thanks, Dad for showing me how poor we are."

Isn't perspective a wonderful thing ? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.

*********

Appreciate every single thing you have.

A great note for all to read, this can change your thinking.

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.

One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room’s only window.

The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.

The men talked for hours on end.

They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs,their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.

Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up,he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.

Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats.

Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.

As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by.

Although the other man couldn’t hear the band – he could see it. In his mind’s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words. Days and weeks passed.

One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window.

The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.

Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside.

He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed.

It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window.

The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.

She said, “Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.”

Epilogue:

“There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations”

“Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled”

“If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can’t buy”

“Today is a gift, that’s why it is called the present.”

Eight Blunders of the World

The Seven Blunders of the World is a list that Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi gave to his grandson Arun Gandhi, written on a piece of paper, on their final day together, shortly before his assassination. This list grew from Gandhi's search for the roots of violence. He called these acts of passive violence. Preventing these is the best way to prevent oneself or one's society from reaching a point of violence. To this list, Arun Gandhi added an eighth blunder, rights without responsibilities. According to Arun Gandhi, the idea behind the first blunder originates from the feudal practice of Zamindari. He also suggests that the first and the second blunders are interrelated.

1. Wealth without Work
2. Pleasure without Conscience
3. Knowledge without Character
4. Commerce without Morality
5. Science without Humanity
6. Worship without Sacrifice
7. Politics without Principle
8. Rights without Responsibilitie

What are friends?
Friends are people that you think are your friends
But they're really your enemies, with secret indentities
and disguises, to hide they're true colors
So just when you think you're close enough to be brothers
they wanna come back and cut your throat when you ain't lookin 
-Eminem

...પત્ની ચાલીસા........

નમો- નમો પત્ની મહારાણી,

તુમ્હારી મહિમા કોઈ નાં જાણી.... (૧)

હમને સમજા તુમ અબલા હો,

પર તુમ તો સબસે બડી બલા હો.... (૨)

...જિસ દિન હાથ મેં બેલણ આવે,

ઉસ દિન પતિ ખુબ ચીલ્લાવે.... (૩)

સારે પલંગ પે પત્ની સોવે,

પતિ બૈઠ જમીન પર રોવે.... (૪)

તુમસે હી ઘર મથુરા કાશી,

ઔર તુમસે હી ઘર સત્યાનાશી.... (૫)

પત્ની ચાલીસા જો પતિ ગાવે,

સબ સુખ છોડ પરમ દુખ પાવ.... (૬)

ભૂત પિશાચ નઝર આ જાવે,

પત્ની જબ અસલી રૂપ મેં આવે.... (૭)
