I repent and confess

No I am not a punjabi or a pakistani, or a muslim. I am a creation of the creator. The rest are just labels. You want me to be Bihari, I am bihari. You call me a hindu, I am a hindu. Call me what you will.

o tainu kafir akhde naiN tooN ahu ahu kahnda ja


Masjid Dha Day, Mandir Dha Day
Dha Day Jo Kujh Disda
Par Kissay Da Dil Na Dhawee(n)
Rub Dilaa(n) Wich Wasda

Tear down the Mosque, tear down the temple
Tear down every thing in sight
But don't (tear down) break anyone's heart
Because God lives there (Bulleh Shah)

For far too long, I have enabled hate mongers by participating in their posts, and sometimes, posting as they do. But love has come to town, the one the only beckons, and I heed the call.

I repent.

Repentence 1
===========

I was a sailor, I was lost at sea
I was under the waves before love rescued me
I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread
But I stand accused of the things I've said

When love comes to town
I want to jump that train
When love comes to town
I want to catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town

I used to make love under a red sunset
I was making promises I was soon to forget
She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown
But I left her standing before love came to town

I ran into a juke joint where I heard a guitar scream
The notes were turning blue
When I fell into a dream
As the music played I saw my life turn around
That was the day before love came to town

When love comes to town
I want to jump that train
When love comes to town
I want to catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town

I was there when they crucified my Lord
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
I threw the dice when they pierced his side
But I've seen love conquer the great divide

When love comes to town
I want to jump that train
When love comes to town
I want to catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town

(Bono; The Christian mystic )


Repentence 2
===============
My heart is open to all forms;
it is a pasture for gazelles
and a monastery for Christian monks
a temple for idols and the
Ka'bah of the pilgrim
the tables of the Torah and
the book of the Koran.

Mine is the religion of Love
Wherever His caravans
turn, the religion of
Love shall be my religion
and my faith.

(Ibn- Arabi)
