The greatest lyrics ever!
Not a believer inside the mosque, am I nor a pagan disciple of false rites. Not the pure amongst the impure. Neither Moses, nor the Pharoh. Bulleh! to me, I am not known.
Not in the holy Vedas, am I nor in opium, neither in wine, Not in the drunkard`s craze Niether awake, nor in a sleeping daze. Bulleh! to me, I am not known.
In happiness nor in sorrow, am I neither clean, nor a filthy mire. Not from water, nor from earth. Neither fire, nor from air, is my birth. Bulleh! to me, I am not known.
Not an Arab, nor Lahori. Neither Hindi, nor Nagauri Hindu, Turk (Muslim), nor Peshawari. Nor do I live in Nadaun. Bulleh! to me, I am not known.
Secrets of religion, I have not known. From Adam and Eve, I am not born. I am not the name I assume. Not in stillness, nor on the move. Bulleh! to me, I am not known.
I am the first, I am the last. None other, have I ever known. I am the wisest of them all. Bulleh! do I stand alone? Bulleh! to me, I am not known

The other day a thought made me realise that everything around us is subjective and is based on our own interpretation. One good step for someone can be bad for another. How many times are we able to comprehend the implications of our prayers when we ask god for favours.
Something exciting for one can be life threatening for a fellow human being. Salman Khan after all did kill people due to his thrill and not to forget that most children do realise at some point or the other that they were a resultant of a two minutes passion and nothing more. Something similar has also been said in Hindu holy book Shreemad Bhagvad Geeta. Lord Krishna told Arjun to do what he was supposed to do in a battle field as a fighter. The focus was on Karma and not worrying about its result. So what if that very suggestion killed so many people and the loved ones. After all it’s all about perception.
But in actual life people are left to read between the lines. And often there are times when one gets stuck between those lines and cannot interpret. The difference between right, not so right, wrong and not so wrong fades away. As the confusion in my head seemed never ending over these thoughts I suddenly thought of a principle that was taught in middle school.
'Survival of the fittest'
This fits very well in most modern life situations. Whether it’s about life, death or relationships. One who is tough enough to battle the pressure from all ends will exist and not the rest.
