Compassion is #RealMagic
#ShobLokeyKoy is dedicated to the eternal love for human beings. Looking back at the human history one cannot help but wonder, that we as a species, have always been a part of a single consciousness. Where in one part of the world Shakespearean folks say Fee-fi-fo-fum, in the other part of the world the Bengalis say Hau-mau-kau to que in a ghostly presence. Our expressions might be different, but our emotions are just the same no matter where we come from or who we are.
The same can be said about the mystic poets Fakir Lalon Shai and Kabir Das who had never crossed paths. Neither did they preside in the same era. Yet, like a divine connection, they shared the same space in philosophy and in ideology. They believed in harmony and co-existence of Men. When we listen to “Shob Lokey Koy” and “Kabira Kuan Ek Hai” together, it becomes evident that we are all connected in a single consciousness of humanity. It is in our DNA to co-exist and love each other as human beings, to be compassionate and live in harmony.
