Yudhishthira's Wisdom

Yudhistira was considered to be the one the most sensible human beings present on the Earth. Respecting his sense and truthfulness, his chariot used to ride two inches higher than the ground level.
        Once in his kingdom, a debate took place over "what is the biggest surprise in the world?" Numerous intelligent people took part in the debate. They began to present strong logical statements but no single answer was approved with the consent of everybody present there . Finally they approached Yudishtira because they knew it is very hard to find the more logical person than him.
 Some suggested, building strong body and exercising power is the biggest surprise - Yudhishtira replied, possessing power is just an investment fruit, more you give more you get like that and its no surprise.
 Some other suggested,  being beautiful and possessing some beautiful art like singing is the biggest surprise. Yudhistira replied, all arts and beauty is obtained by fate, they are inborn depending on previous deeds and that's no surprise.

Some  suggested, Earning the money is the biggest surprise- Yudhishtira replied, Even the prostitute earns," whats the surprise in it?"
Rest suggested, Everything is surprise- the plant grows, water flows, we get older n all that- Yudhistira replied, these are the laws of nature, which are strong by defination, so cant be a surprise. Surprise has to be the contrast.
Then all were tired of making guesses, so they finally asked Yudhishtira about his own opinion about the surprise.
 Yudhistira, the very sane man, replied "God's ways are wonderful. God is in the form of Krishna in front of our eyes. His names are extremely wonderful. He has manifested himself into his names, So he and his names are indifferent. Chanting his name properly, even once can get us rid of so many sins that we cant even think of. Yet people manage to find the place in Hell after dying,  is the biggest surprise in this world when chanting his name once can reduce so much burden of deeds on us. I cannot comprehend this. This is just like dying out of hunger when we have served food in front of us. So I call this as the biggest surprise".
All people got convinced why Yudhishtira was respected so much.

Itna to karana swami, Jab praan tan se nikale.....

इतना तो करना स्वामी, जब प्राण तन से निकले
गोविन्द नाम लेकर, फिर प्राण तन से निकले

श्री गंगाजी का तट हो, या यमुना का बंसी वट हो,
मेरा सावरा निकट हो, जब प्राण तन से निकले

पीताम्बरी कसी हो, चेहरे पे कुछ हँसी  हो
छवि मन में यह बसी हो, जब प्राण तन से निकले

इस दास की हे अर्जी, खुदगर्ज की हे गर्जी
और आगे तुम्हारी मर्जी, जब प्राण तन से निकले

उस वक्त जल्दी आना, प्रभु देर ना लगाना
श्री राधेजी को साथ लाना, जब प्राण तन से निकले

श्री वृंदावन का स्थल हो, मुख में तुलसी दल हो
कृष्ण चरण का जल हो, जब प्राण तन से निकले

सुधि होवे माहे तन की, तैयारी हो गमन की
लकड़ी हो ब्रज के वन की, जब प्राण तन से निकले

ये नींद सी अरज है, मानो तो क्या हरज है
कुछ आप का फ़रज है, जब प्राण तन से निकले

Radhe Tere Charno Ki...........................

राधे तेरे चरणों की, श्यामा तेरे चरणों की गर धुल जो मिल जाए
सच कहता हूँ मेरी, तकदीर ही बदल जाए

यह मन बड़ा चंचल है, कैसे तेरा भजन करूँ
जितना इसे समझाउं, उतना ही मचल जाए
राधे तेरे चरणों की...

सुनते है तेरी रहमत, दिन रात बरसती है
एक बूँद जो मिल जाए, दिल की कलि खिल जाय
राधे तेरे चरणों की...

नजरों से गिरना ना, चाहे जो भी  सजा देना
नज़रों से जो गिर जाए, मुश्किल है संभल पाना
राधे तेरे चरणों की....

राधे इस जीवन में बस एक तमन्ना है
तुम सामने हो मेरे, मेरा दम ही निकल जाए...

 राधे तेरे चरणों की..
