Rahim Dohavali

क्षमा बड़न को चाहिये, छोटन को उत्पात। 
का रहीम हरी का घट्यो, जो भृगु मारी लात।।

Here commencing with one of the most remarkable lines from Abdur Rahim Khanekhana, Rahim takes us to a metaphorically provident adage which defines the true work of a learned, sophisticated soul. Here Rahim gives a piece of advice which actually resolves into a wonderful way in order live life in a better way.

Foolish people fight, the normal people get angry while the learned people ignore. In our day to day, we are destined to meet all kinds of people, people of almost every taste, genre, field will meet with you in a completely unprecedented rendezvous but unfortunately sometimes many things happen which we don’t like, and when things start going out of the level of being tractable, we fly into rage and lose all our consciousness to enter into the state of furiousness. Such kind of unwanted encounters can even take place with your loved ones, your family, friends etc. Now most of the time, we become so much engrossed with such small petty things that we lose all our placidity and composure and our anger as well as our ego becomes detrimental for ourselves only and at the end of the day, the work which we were doing gets completely annihilated and ultimately our anger and rage becomes detrimental to ourselves only. The work which we were pursuing is extirpated and only two emotions will govern you at last; the first being anger and the next being desperation.

No body of us would ever like to fall into this kind of a rattrap but unfortunately our egotistic as well as egoistic personality has subjugated and empowered us in toto which at last proves damaging for ourselves only.

Now here comes the true worth of the great aphorism by Rahim. Here Rahim advises us to be forgiving and also uses a beautifully embellished legend from our shastras. Once, when Rishi Bhrigu was just about to surpass all the levels of intelligence and power and was just about to become God with the inception of his third eye in his feet. Due to this he had become so much arrogant that God sought to do something. One day Rishi Bhrigu went to all three supreme powers of the world Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu. When he approached lord Shiva, Lord Shiva was busy and hence didn’t pay heed to him, he cursed lord Shiva that he will never be worshipped in his true form; then he moved to lord Brahma and the same thing happened and he cursed lord Brahma in the same manner; now when at last he move to lord Vishnu; on finding lord Vishnu sleeping; he became so much resented that he kicked lord Vishnu and as soon as he kicked lord Vishnu in his chest, the almighty lord held his feet and rubbed off his growing third eye and moreover goddess Laxmi who was in the heart of Lord Vishnu too cursed Rishi Bhrigu of complete destitution till his seven generations.

Now at last the only person at the receiving end was Rishi Bhrigu. Despite of being so close to becoming God, he was misguided by his anger and resentment and everything was extirpated while on the other hand, Lord Vishnu used his senses and rather than minding any insult or something like that, he just got his work done. Lord Vishnu being more learned forgave Rishi Bhrigu and despite of becoming angry or letting his ego, overpower him, lord Vishnu efficaciously did his work.  The same thing we need to learn from Lord Vishnu. Rather than disturbing your work or making matters abstruse or convoluted just let the life flow, let your live flow like water and never mind trivial things. The one who forgives is much learned and sagacious than the one who continues to breed anger in himself, the one who forgives himself becomes the proprietor of acumen while the one who continues to burgeon anger is annihilating himself only and at last the choice remains yours.
