రాకుమారుని వస్త్రాలలో, మెడ చుట్టూ రతనాల హారాలతో అలంకృతుడైన చిన్నారి ఆటలో ఆనందాన్ని కోల్పోతాడు; అతని దుస్తులు అడుగడుగునా అడ్డుతగులుతాయి.
అవి చిరిగిపోతాయనో లేక దుమ్ముతో మరకలవుతాయనో భయంలో తనని తాను లోకానికి దూరం చేసుకుంటాడు, కదలడానికీ భయపడతాడు.
తల్లీ, నీ ముస్తాబుల పాశం, అతనిని కులాసైన ఈ నేల ధూళి నుండి వేరు చేస్తే, సర్వ జన జీవనాల మహా కొలువులోకి ప్రవేశపు హక్కుని అతనికి దూరం చేస్తే, ప్రయోజనం కాదు.
The child who is decked with prince's robes and who has jewelled chains round his neck loses all pleasure in his play; his dress hampers him at every step.
In fear that it may be frayed, or stained with dust he keeps himself from the world, and is afraid even to move.
Mother, it is no gain, thy bondage of finery, if it keeps one shut off from the healthful dust of the earth, if it rob one of the right of entrance to the great fair of common human life.
తల్లీ,ఆడుకోనీవు!...{గీతాంజలి~8}..
నీ సమక్షంలో... {గీతాంజలి ~ 5},....
నీ పక్కన కూర్చునే క్షణ కాలపు భోగం కోసం నేనడుగుతున్నాను. నా చేతిలో ఉన్న పనులన్నీ తరువాత పూర్తి చేస్తాను.
నీ మోముకి కనుచాటుగా నా హృదయానికి అలుపు లేదు తెరపి లేదు, నా పని అంతులేని ప్రయాస అవుతుంది ఒడ్డేలేని సాగరంలో చిక్కుకున్నట్టు
ఈరోజు వేసంగి నా తలుపు తట్టింది తన కువకువలు కిలకిలలతో; తుమ్మెదలు తమ గాధలని తెరపి లేకుండా గానం చేస్తున్నాయి పూతోట కొలువులో
నాలో ఊరట వెల్లివిరుస్తున్న ఈ మౌన సమయాన, నీ ఎదుట ప్రశాంతంగా కూర్చుని నా జీవన సంకల్పాన్ని గానం చేస్తాను.
I ask for a moment's indulgence to sit by thy side. The works that I have in hand I will finish afterwards.
Away from the sight of thy face my heart knows no rest nor respite, and my work becomes an endless toil in a shoreless sea of toil.
Today the summer has come at my window with its sighs and murmurs; and the bees are plying their minstrelsy at the court of the flowering grove.
Now it is time to sit quite, face to face with thee, and to sing dedication of live in this silent and overflowing leisure.
పువ్వు... { గీతాంజలి ~ 6 }..
ఈ చిన్న పూవుని తుంచుకుని తీసుకో, ఆలస్యం చేయకు! లేకపోతే అది వాలిపోయి నేల రాలిపోతుందేమో అని భయంగా ఉంది.
నేను నీ మాలలో చోటు పొందకపోవచ్చు, కానీ ఈ పూవుని నీ చేయి తాకిడితో సత్కరించి తుంచుకో. లేకపోతే నాకు తెలిసేలోగా పొద్దు పోతుందేమో అని, అంజలి సమయం జారిపోతుందేమో అని కంగారుగా ఉంది.
ఈ పూవుకి మంచి రంగు లేకపోయినా పరిమళం గుబాళించకపోయినా నీ సేవలో వాడుకో, మరి సమయం మించిపోకుండా తుంచుకో.
Pluck this little flower and take it, delay not! I fear lest it droop and drop into the dust.
I may not find a place in thy garland, but honour it with a touch of pain from thy hand and pluck it. I fear lest the day end before I am aware, and the time of offering go by.
Though its colour be not deep and its smell be faint, use this flower in thy service and pluck it while there is time.
వినతి... {గీతాంజలి ~ 7}
నా పాట తన అలంకరణలని వదులుకుంది. తనకి అలంకారాల, ఆహార్యాల అతిశయం లేదు. ఆభరణాలు మన కలయికని చెడగొడతాయి; అవి నీకూ నాకూ మధ్యగా వస్తాయి; వాటి గలగలలు నీ మెత్తని మాటలని ముంచేస్తాయి.
నా కవి గర్వం నీ ఎదుట చిన్నతనంతో చచ్చిపోతుంది. ఓ కవీశ్వరా, నీ పాదాల చెంత కూర్చున్నాను. ఆ వెదురు వేణువులాగా, నీ చేత రాగాలు నింప, నా జీవనాన్ని నిరాడంబరంగా, సరళంగా మాత్రం చేసుకోనివ్వు.
My song has put off her adornments. She has no pride of dress and decoration. Ornaments would mar our union; they would come between thee and me; their jingling would drown thy whispers.
My poet's vanity dies in shame before thy sight. O master poet, I have sat down at thy feet. Only let me make my life simple and straight, like a flute of reed for thee to fill with music.
చిన్మయ సూక్తి... { గీతాంజలి ~ 9 }
ఓ అవివేకీ, నిన్ను నీ భుజాలపై మోసుకో యత్నించు! ఓ బికారీ, నీ గడప వద్దకొచ్చి యాచించు!
నీ భారాన్నంతా అన్నీ మోయగల ఆతని చేతుల్లో వదిలివేయి, ఇక ఎన్నడూ విచారంతో వెనుదిరిగి చూడకు.
నీ కోరిక తన ఊపిరి తాకిన దీపం నుండి వెలుగుని ఒక్కసారిగా పోగొడుతుంది. అది కల్మషమైనది - మలినమైన దాని చేతులతో నీ కానుకలని తీసుకోకు. పవిత్రమైన ప్రేమతో అందించినవే స్వీకరించు.
O Fool, try to carry thyself upon thy own shoulders! O beggar, to come beg at thy own door!
Leave all thy burdens on his hands who can bear all, and never look behind in regret.
Thy desire at once puts out the light from the lamp it touches with its breath. It is unholy - take not thy gifts through its unclean hands. Accept only what is offered by sacred love.
నిర్గతి... { గీతాంజలి ~ 10 },..
ఎక్కడైతే అనాధలు దీనులు అసహాయులు నివసిస్తారో
అక్కడే నీవు పాదాలు మోపుతావు. అక్కడే నీ పాద పీఠం.
నేను నీకు ప్రణమిల్లడానికి ప్రయత్నించినప్పుడు,
ఎక్కడ అనాధలు దీనులు అసహాయులు మధ్య నీ పాదాలు మోపుతావో,
నా ప్రణతి ఆ లోతుకి చేరుకోలేకపోతుంది.
ఆశ్రితుల వస్త్రాలలో ఎక్కడైతే నీవు అనాధలు దీనులు అసహాయులు మధ్య
నడుస్తున్నావో అక్కడికి అతిశయం ఆశ్రయించలేదు.
ఎక్కడైతే నీవు తోడులేని వారితో సావాసం చేస్తావో,
ప్రభూ!అక్కడికి నా హృదయం తన దారిని ఎప్పటికీ కనుగొనలేదు.
Here is thy footstool and there rest thy feet where live the poorest, and lowliest, and lost.
When I try to bow to thee, my obeisance cannot reach down to the depth where thy feet rest among the poorest, and lowliest, and lost.
Pride can never approach to where thou walkest in the clothes of the humble among the poorest, and lowliest, and lost.
My heart can never find its way to where thou keepest company with the companionless among the poorest, the lowliest, and the lost.
ఇది త్యజించు... { గీతాంజలి ~ 11 }....
ఈ గానా భజానా జప తపాలని త్యజించు
తలుపులన్నీ మూసుకుని ఈ ఏకాంత మందిరంలో
మూలన చీకట్లో ఎవరిని పూజిస్తున్నావు?
నీ కళ్ళు తెరువు, నీ దేవుడు నీ ముందు సాక్షాత్కరించలేదు!
ఎక్కడ రైతు కటిక నేలని దున్నుతున్నాడో
ఎక్కడ బాటలు పరచు వాడు రాళ్ళని బద్ధలుకొడుతున్నాడో అక్కడ ఆతను ఉంటాడు.
వాళ్ళతో ఎండలోనూ వానలోనూ ఉంటాడు.
ఆతని వస్త్రాలు దుమ్ముతో కప్పబడి ఉంటాయి.
నీ పవిత్రమైన తొడుగుని త్యజించు, అతనిలా ఈ మురికి నేల మీదకి రా!
విముక్తా? ఎక్కడ దొరుకుతుందీ విముక్తి?
ఆ ప్రభువు తనంతట తాను ఈ సృష్టి బంధనాలతో ఆనందంగా పెనవేసుకున్నాడు.
ఆతడు మనకెప్పటికీ బంధీయే.
నీ ధ్యాన ముద్ర నుండి బయటకి రా, నీ పూలనీ ధూపాన్నీ త్యజించు.
నీ వస్త్రాలు చినిగితేనో, మరకలైతేనో జరిగే హాని ఏముంది?
పరిశ్రమతోనూ నీ కనుబొమ్మలపై చిందించే స్వేదంతోనూ ఆతనిని కలువు
ఆతని పక్కనే నిలబడు.
Leave this chanting and singing and telling of beads! Whom dost thou worship in this lonely dark corner of a temple with doors all shut? Open thine eyes and see thy God is not before thee!
He is there where the tiller is tilling the hard ground and where the pathmaker is breaking stones. He is with them in sun and in shower, and his garment is covered with dust. Put of thy holy mantle and even like him come down on the dusty soil!
Deliverance? Where is this deliverance to be found? Our master himself has joyfully taken upon him the bonds of creation; he is bound with us all for ever.
Come out of thy meditations and leave aside thy flowers and incense! What harm is there if thy clothes become tattered and stained? Meet him and stand by him in toil and in sweat of thy brow.

"ఏమైందిరా..??" ఉల్లిక్కి పడి లేచిన విక్రమ్ అడిగాడు వేణుని...
ఏం జరిగిందో అర్థం కాని వేణు, ఒగురుస్తూ దిక్కులు చూస్తున్నాడు.
"కొంచెం మంచినీళ్ళు తాగు" గ్లాసందించారు ఎవరో.
"పీడ కల వచ్సినట్టుంది.." వెనక ఎవరో అంటున్న మాటలు విక్రమ్ చెవిన పడ్డాయి.
"చిన్న పిల్లాడిలా కల్లో భయపడ్డావా?? హహహః..." ఇంకొకరన్నారు వెనకనుంచి. పిల్లలంతా పగలబడి నవ్వారు.
నవ్వుతున్న వాళ్ళను చూసిన వేణు చిన్నబుచ్చుకుని మెల్లగా దుప్పట్లో దూరాడు. పిల్లలంతా నవ్వుకుంటూ తమ తమ మంచాల వైపు బయలుదేరారు.
రెండు సెకన్లు అక్కడే నిలబడి తరువాత విక్రమ్ కూడా తన మంచం వైపు నడిచాడు.
మర్నాడు.... బెల్ మోగింది,
"ఏరా... రాత్రి ఎందుకలా అరిచావు? పీడకలా?"
"మ్మ్..ఏం? నువ్వెప్పుడూ నిద్దట్లో భయపడలేదా..?"
"మ్మ్.. భయపడ్డాను."
"మరి ఎందుకలా అడుగుతున్నావ్?"
"ఏం లేదు." విక్రమ్ లేచి బాగ్ తీసుకుని క్లాస్ బయటకు నడిచాడు.

అబ్బాయిలంతా ఎండలో వరసగా నిలబడ్డారు.
"గోడ దూకి సినిమాకెళ్లిన అబ్బాయిలు సార్" ప్యూన్ వెంకట్రావ్ చెప్పాడు.
అంతా చమటలు కక్కుతూ బిక్క మొహాలేసుకుని చూస్తున్నారు.
"వీళ్ళ parents అందరికీ complaint letters పంపండి." ప్రిన్సిపల్ చురుకుగా నడుచుకుంటూ వెళ్ళిపోయాడు.
కొంత మంది అబ్బాయిలు ఏడవటం మొదలుపెట్టారు. విక్రమ్ కళ్ళలో సన్నని నీటి పొర...

"మ్మ్.. ఇంటర్వ్యూస్ attend అవ్వాలి. IIMs లో రావచ్చు."
"గ్రేట్ రా!! ఇంత లేట్ గానా చెప్పేది?? ఇంటికి కా..."
ఒక్క నిమిషం మౌనం.

"ఓ..! ఎక్కువ ఉందా?"
"మ్మ్.. 101 ఉంది."
"My GOD! డాక్టర్ దగ్గరకు వెళ్ళావా?"
"లేదు. కొంచెం రెస్ట్ తీసుకుంటే సరిపోతుంది."
"సరే, నుదుటి మీద తడి గుడ్డ పెట్టుకుని పడుకో."
"తడి గుడ్డా?"

"సరే తాతయ్య"
మర్నాడు....
నిద్ర లేచిన విక్రమ్ చుట్టూ, అంతా తెల్లగా... అతడికి ఏమీ అర్ధం కాలేదు. ఇంతలో అతడికి ఒక గొంతు వినిపించింది.
"విక్రమ్, నీ ఆయువు తీరింది. తీరని కోరికలతో మరణించిన వారికి స్వర్గ ప్రాప్తి లభించదు. అందువల్ల ఈ లోకం లో ప్రవేశించావు. మళ్ళీ జన్మ ఎత్తే వరకూ నువ్వు ఇక్కడే ఉండవలసి ఉంది."
విక్రమ్ మాట్లాడలేదు. ఇది కలా, నిజమా అన్న అనుమానం లోనే ఉన్నాడు.
"వచ్చే జన్మకు గాను, ఒక కోరిక కోరుకునే అవకాశం నీకు ఇవ్వబడింది. చెప్పు నీకు ఏం కావాలి..?"
విక్రమ్ మాట్లాడలేదు.
"చెప్పు విక్రమ్. నీకు ఇంకొన్ని ఘడియలు మాత్రమే మిగిలాయి. ఇంకొద్ది సేపట్లో నువ్వో తల్లి కడుపున పుట్టబోతున్నావు."
విక్రమ్ మాట్లాడలేదు.
"విక్రమ్?"
"నువ్వెవరో నాకు తెలియదు. ఇది నిజమే అయితే నాకీ అవకాశం ఇచ్చిన నువ్వు భగవంతుడి దూతవి. కాదు కాదు, భగావంతుడివే నేమో!!"
"నేనేవరైతే నీకేం? సమయం మించక ముందే నీకేం కావాలో చెప్పు."
"నాకు అమ్మ కావాలి. 'అమ్మా....,' అని పిలవగానే పలికే అమ్మ కావాలి. నన్ను కడుపులో పెట్టి చూసుకునే అమ్మ కావాలి. నా తప్పులు మన్నించి నన్ను ఎల్లప్పుడూ ప్రేమించే అమ్మ కావాలి. నా కష్టంలో, సుఖంలో, గెలుపులో, ఓటమిలో.. ఎప్పుడూ, ఆమె ఎప్పుడూ నాతోనే ఉండాలి."

"తాతయ్య.. త్వరగా నిద్ర లేఏఏ..! ఈ రోజు స్కూల్ లో డ్రాప్ చెయ్యవా?."
కళ్ళు తెరిచిన విక్రమ్, "ఓహ్..! కలా..!!" అనుకుని లేచి, శశిని దగ్గరకు తీసుకుని నవ్వుతూ ఏదో చెప్పబోయి, మంచం మీద అలానే ఒరిగిపోయాడు.
"తాతయ్య, తాతయ్యా.....!!"
"సారీ అఖిల్, మీ నాన్న గారు చనిపోయి 30 minutes అయ్యింది."

ఇంతలో చిట-పట అంటూ మేఘం,
ముంగిలిలో చుక్కలు పెట్టేసి, చక చకా ముగ్గేసేసింది.
ప్రేమతో గీసిందా అన్నట్టుంది ఆమె గీసిన ముగ్గు.
గడప దగ్గర కూర్చుని చూస్తున్నాను నేను.
Mother Teresa Biography......
Died: September 5, 1997
Achievements: Started Missionaries of Charity in 1950; received Nobel Prize for Peace in 1979; received Bharat Ratna in 1980.
Mother Teresa was one of the great servants of humanity. She was an Albanian Catholic nun who came to India and founded the Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata. Later on Mother Teresa attained Indian citizenship. Her selfless work among the poverty-stricken people of Kolkata (Calcutta) is an inspiration for people all over the world and she was honored with Nobel Prize for her work.
Mother Teresa's original name was Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. She was born on August 27, 1910 in Skopje, Macedonia. Her father was a successful merchant and she was youngest of the three siblings. At the age of 12, she decided that she wanted to be a missionary and spread the love of Christ. At the age of 18 she left her parental home in Skopje and joined the Sisters of Loreto, an Irish community of nuns with missions in India.
After a few months of training at the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Dublin Mother Teresa came to India. On May 24, 1931, she took her initial vows as a nun. From 1931 to 1948, Mother Teresa taught geography and catechism at St. Mary's High School in Calcutta. However, the prevailing poverty in Calcutta had a deep impact on Mother Teresa's mind and in 1948, she received permission from her superiors to leave the convent school and devote herself to working among the poorest of the poor in the slums of Calcutta.
After a short course with the Medical Mission Sisters in Patna, she returned to Calcutta and found temporary lodging with the Little Sisters of the Poor. She started an open-air school for homeless children. Soon she was joined by voluntary helpers, and she received financial support from church organizations and the municipal authorities. On October 7, 1950, Mother Teresa received permission from the Vatican to start her own order. Vatican originally labeled the order as the Diocesan Congregation of the Calcutta Diocese, and it later came to known as the "Missionaries of Charity". The primary task of the Missionaries of Charity was to take care of those persons who nobody was prepared to look after.
The Missionaries of Charity, which began as a small Order with 12 members in Calcutta, today has more than 4,000 nuns running orphanages, AIDS hospices, charity centres worldwide, and caring for refugees, the blind, disabled, aged, alcoholics, the poor and homeless and victims of floods, epidemics and famine in Asia, Africa, Latin America, North America, Poland, and Australia. In 1965, by granting a Decree of Praise, Pope Paul VI granted Mother Teresa permission to expand her order to other countries. The order's first house outside India was in Venezuela. Presently, the "Missionaries of Charity" has presence in more than 100 countries.
Mother Teresa's work has been recognised and acclaimed throughout the world and she has received a number of awards and distinctions. These include the Pope John XXIII Peace Prize (1971), Nehru Prize for Promotion of International Peace & Understanding (1972), Balzan Prize (1978), Nobel Peace Prize (1979) and Bharat Ratna (1980).
On March 13, 1997, Mother Teresa stepped down from the head of Missionaries of Charity and died on September 5, 1997, just 9 days after her 87th birthday. Following Mother Teresa's death, the Holy See began the process of beatification, the second step towards possible canonization, or sainthood. This process requires the documentation of a miracle performed from the intercession of Mother Teresa. In 2002, the Vatican recognized as a miracle the healing of a tumor in the abdomen of an Indian woman, Monica Besra, following the application of a locket containing Teresa's picture. Monica Besra said that a beam of light emanated from the picture, curing the cancerous tumor. Mother Teresa was formally beatified by Pope John Paul II on October 19, 2003 with the title Blessed Teresa of Calcutta. A second miracle is required for her to proceed to canonization.

MOTHERS QUOTES-GATHERED BY DURGESH....
Your mother is God's greatest gift to you. You knew her before you knew anybody else. Nature has blessed each creature with a loving mother; perhaps the secret behind the very existence of life on this planet. Feel the surge of emotion as you read these mother quotes.
Hosea Ballou
Education commences at the mother's knee, and every word spoken within hearsay of little children tends toward the formation of character.
Aristotle
Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own.
Howard Johnson
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell "Mother,"
A word that means the world to me.
W. D. Howells
A man never sees all that his mother has been to him until it's too late to let her know that he sees it.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A mother is a mother still, the holiest thing alive.
Dorothy Canfield Fisher
A mother is not a person to lean on but a person to make leaning unnecessary.
Agatha Christie
A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.
Lisa Alther
Any mother could perform the jobs of several air traffic controllers with ease.
Joseph Stefano
A boy's best friend is his mother.
Oscar Wilde
All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his.
అమ్మా, నిన్ను చూడాలనివుంది.....................
కాని నిన్ను కౌగలించకపోయాను.
అమ్మా, నీ రంగు చామన ఛాయని తెలుసుకున్నాను
కాని నిన్నుచూడలేకపోయాను.
అమ్మా, నీవు చాలా పొడవని తెలుసుకున్నాను
కాని అది నీ వయసుకులేదని తెలియకపోయాను.
అమ్మా, నీవు చాలా మంచి వ్యక్తిఅని తెలుసుకున్నాను
కాని ఆ మంచితనాన్ని అనుభవించలేకపోయాను.
అమ్మా, నా సుఖదుఃఖాలు నీతో పంచాలనుకున్నాను
కాని అంత మంచి భాగ్యము నాకు లేదని తెలుసుకున్నాను.
అమ్మా, నీవు ఒక అందమైన స్త్రీ అని మీ స్నేహితులు చెప్పగా విన్నాను
కాని ఆ అందాన్ని ఛాయాగ్రహములోమాత్రమే చూడగలిగాను.
అమ్మా, నీ వొడిలో పడుకోవాలనివుంది
కాని అది ఈ లోకములో సాధ్యముకాదని గ్రహించాను.
అమ్మా, నీతో ఒక్కసారి నడవాలనివుంది
అది స్వర్గములో జరుగునని నమ్ముచున్నాను.
అమ్మానిన్ను ఒక్కసారైనా చూడాలనివుంది
కలలోలైనా చూడగలనని ప్రార్ధిస్తున్నాను.
