Ghatni hi thi yeh bhi ghatna, ghatthe ghatthe lo ye ghat gayi
This occurence always had to occur, and as other occurrences occurred, this too occurred.
Finding Stoic Wisdom in Bollywood Lyrics
Stoicism is an ancient philosophy, and one of its core teachings is that there is a difference between the things that we can control, and the things that we cannot control.
I believe that wisdom that rings true can be found in all places, so here, we look for the stoic wisdom present in the lyrics of various bollywood songs.
Darna kya, bhala bura, hone do ab jo bhi ho
What is the need to fear the good or the bad. Whatever is meant to happen, let it happen.
Jaane kya hoga, kya hoga kya pata. Iss pal ko milke aa jeele zara
What is to happen? We can only wonder. Let us meet this moment, and live a little.
Jo ho raha hai, pehli dafa hai, wallah, aisa hua
That which is happening, it's the first time, and lo, it has happened
Chale raste, jaha le chale
These roads will only take us, wherever they will take us.
Kar lo jo bhi karna hai, hota hai jo hona hai
Do whatever you must. What must happen will happen.
