AnantJi, I have often find myself pondering over the lines of Ramdhari Singh Dinkar Ji from a very early age when I first read him, my ancestral house in #Asansol was 1 joker short of a circus & then I took birth & it was complete 

😁🙈😝😂🤣🙈🥳

The house had 10 families staying under a single roof, around an acre of property with multiple animals who used to stay as friends, as family; {my mothers side used to have 3 elephants as pet 😁🤣😂😝😛} those were the days darling, 

say 38 individuals who were ALL scholars, master of their trade , brilliant individual’s, all with a huge grasp of multiple languages, Super/Hyper polyglots !!

To give u an example, pls go to LinkedIn & search for #UtpalLahiri who is my elder brother, cousin brother , Daaknam is Bapi, Bapi Dada ! 

Read his profile, kindly don’t follow him or disturb him in any which ways , I have not sought his permission to take his name here & he will be really mad at me for doing such an act, a very reserved bachelor of 65 years me thinks 

He is a scholar & my idol ! 

I am nothing but a spec of dust in front of him , I cannot in a Zillion years become what he is & he is so SO Humble !!

My Maas side is also filled with luminaries, my Dadubhai {grandfather} was a barrister, my grandma Shrimati Savitri Devi was a ravishing beauty & a scholar , a poetess & a brilliant RudraVeena exponent, my Maa is a carbon copy 😁😂 of my Thakurmaa {grandmaa}

So, back on the subject 

this couplet where he says, "Take more trials, the deity is not so cruel." 

I interpret this as a personal encouragement to endure more hardships because, in my heart, I believe that the divine isn't meant to be harsh. It's a reminder to me that I should keep pushing through my struggles

Then, there's this direct call to me, "Have you sat down tired, brother !!
The destination is not far." 

I feel like DinkarJi is speaking directly to me, questioning if I've given up or if I'm resting out of exhaustion. 

I read/hear his words as a reassurance that my goals, my dreams, r closer than I might think. It's a personal challenge not to lose hope or give in to despair, even when the path seems long & arduous

This couplet resonates with me deeply, urging me to stay resilient & optimistic. 

It's a personal anthem of sorts, reminding me that perseverance will lead me to my destination, no matter how weary I might feel

Mahadev, ALWAYS MAHADEV
