बस प्यार ही प्यार पले !!
आज में अकेले बैठा फिर वही गीत सुन ,यादों के झरोंखे में झांक
सोच रहा हूँ , कहाँ है ऐसा जहाँ ? क्या वो सिर्फ कवी की कल्पना है या ऐसे जहाँ को जिवंत किया जा सकता है
मेरा मानना है की ४-५ साल की किशोर अवस्था से २०-२१ साल की अलमस्त जवानी के सफ़र में कितनी ही बार उसका मन टुटा होगा , कितनी बार वो गम के अँधेरे में फंस गया होगा !
एक भावः ये भी है की गम और पीडा ही प्यार और ख़ुशी का अहसास कराते हैं !
आप क्या समझते हैं इस विषय में, क्या "प्यार ही प्यार" जैसी परम सुख जैसी अनिभूति , केवल कल्पना मात्र है या यथार्थ में पाया भी जा सकता है?

Let me first thank Deshwal Sir for bringing again a topic of sorts! Next , happy to see Brahm Sir back!
Let me present my take on this (though I start by apologising for any absurdness , immature content that you may find ! )!
Brahm's take ( and he to me sums up by excusing himself for being aymptotic to the topic ! ) probably lets out more of the author's self than the topic , I am sure he will give himself more time to come out with something more relevant to the topic ! ( This is from a critic , and i hope Brahm would not mind it ! )!
Deshwal's sir did not talk about such things existing in the past (at least I do not percieve so ! ) and which is true to me , becasue the imaginary world of "pyaar hi pyaar" did not exist , does not exist and will not exist! It is to me too abstract a thing to be reality! Only people with strength can weave such a world around themselves (and the way how it can be done is presented below! )!!
Love , pyaar , prem and similarly the other human feelings and emotions are not defined anywhere and it is something to be felt and different people may have different levels of the faculties to appreciate them!
This might substantiate my point:
अकथ कहानी प्रेम की कछु कही न जाए
गूंगे केरी सरकरा बैठे मुस्काये !!
Still let me try and convey what i feel! I am a big fan of theory of continuity , I believe all human emotions , feelings , events are best enjoyed/appreciated when they happen in an continuous fashion (slowly and smoothly will be the layman term for the same )! As Deshwal Sir put it , in life we have had experiences (good and bad) , and the crux lies in appreciating this and making sure these events (both good and bad) do not affect you a great deal ! In short , learn from them (because experiences shape up personality of individuals ) and move on , do not be too attached with the events ( I tried hard not to mention the word equanimity , but could not , yes , I believe in equanimity and with each day , the belief just gets stronger!

)!
I agree with the concept of "giving" as mentioned by Tavathia Sir , i have tried (with my lil means of course) to appreciate this , the more we expect (expectations are not that bad , and are really important for keeping up the passion in any relationship ) , the more we are making ourselves exposed to hurt and pain! It is a bit difficult to practice but try following the axiom of unconditional love and support to people ( I am sure many of you would have had discussions on "unconditional love" being the true form of love )! Infact the lil experimenter in me have also tried to be unconditional and expectant alternately in relationships and observe how it goes. The unexpectant self is a bit confused/melancholic initially but morphs into a peaceful and satisfied being slowly but surely!
Please also remember that it (the unexpectant self) can also make you exposed to people's irrational behaviour of inflicting pain for nothing , so it is also not blissful to say the least!!
Now coming to can we really achieve or get closer to a state of bliss in which we feel as if there is only 'pyaar and pyaar' , yes it is doable , the inputs are peace , satisfaction , a balanced mind and approach to life! Peace like charity begins at home , have peace with yourself first , do not allow emotions(negative) like hate , dislike , arrogance , anger , prudence to enter into equation.
कबीर यहू घर प्रेम का , खला का घर नाहीं
सीश उतारे हाथि करि , सौ पैसे घर माहीं !!
Have the feeling of love , care , affection , gratitude to people who you love and who love you! Always be prepared to do and give more(Expect more from yourself!)! Life's experiences are something not to be geat deal concerned about but taken in stride for the learning curve!
Remember that you cannot change the perception of everyone in a short span of time and there will be people to ridicule (literally making a mockery of ) your behaviour and ways of working and that will always drive you to deviate from your path to peace and love! There in lies the test ! There in one must muster all courage to keep doing what he/she is best at (and that should be giving love and affection and more of it!) Also at the end of it , make sure you discount the happiness and love that you have given to others in your balance sheet records as well! That is a good and more correct measure of the love and affection that is "around" you! Do not be internally directed when analysing broad things like love , care and affection !
