In the high sculptured mountain peaks,
\nIn the scintillating calm lakes,
\nThe music of Kashmir reverberates
\nLike a line in a poem.
\nEverything in Kashmir is a vast tapestry,
\nEchoing eternity.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Food and drink were important to Kashmiris
\nBut the search for the spirit was more so,
\nLife to them was just an excuse to meditate,
\nTo hold the supreme light,\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 Howsoever momentarily.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Man made the world but God made the heavens,
\nKashmiris did not become great worldly people
\nBut they became great spiritualists,
\nThey walked the peaks of the mountains but
\nRemained small walkers in the world.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Kashmir is an idea,
\nWhose spirit reverberates,
\nSoaring high to the unknown,
\nIt searches for a self which is indefinable.<\/p>\n
