When people truly open their minds, and contemplate the way in which the universe is ordered and governed, they are amazed-overwhelmed by a sense of the miraculous. When people contemplate with open minds the germination of a single seed, they are equally overwhelmed-yet numerous babies are born every day, and no-one marvels. If only people opened their minds, they would see that the birth of a baby, in which a new life is created, is a greater miracle than restoring life.
Aaj Achanak Teri Yaad Ne Mujhe Rula Diya,
Kya Karu Tum Ne Jo Mujhe Bhula Diya,
Na Karte Wafa To Na Milti Ye Saza,
Shayad Meri Wafaon Ne Hi Tujhe Bewafa Bana Diya.
Chupke Se Jo Mangi Hai,
Un Duao Me Tum Ko Pana Hai,
Tum Rooth Ke Mujse Na Jao,
Muje Sath Tumhara Pana Hai,
Tum Laut Ke Wapis Aa jao,
Muje “Hamsafar” Tumhe Bnana Hai

Dosti aap jaise kuchh khaas logo se hai,
varna mulaqat to roj janae kitno se hoti hai …
The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true.
Let's say hypothetically, knowing what we know now about public policy, that we could close the education gap so that it was only a couple percentage points, and we could make sure that hiring barriers and educational barriers had been leveled down, and unemployment among African Americans right now instead of being double was only 10 percent higher than white unemployment - if we got to that point , America as a whole would be a lot richer.
It says something about our country that people around the world are willing to leave their homes and leave their families and risk everything to come to America. Their talent and hard work and love of freedom have helped make America the leader of the world. And our generation will ensure that America remains a beacon of liberty and the most hope fill society this world has ever known.
