जब तक साँस है,"टकराव" मिलता रहेगा। जब तक रिश्ते हैं, "घाव" मिलता रहेगा। पीठ पीछे जो बोलते हैं, उन्हें पीछे ही रहने दे। अगर हमारे कर्म, भावना और रास्ता सही है .. तो गैरों से भी " लगाव " मिलता रहेगा..

As long as there is breath, "conflict" will arise. As long as there are relationships, you will be “wounded”. Let those who speak behind your back stay behind. If our karma, thoughts and path are right.. then we will get "attachment, and support" from strangers too..
