તમારા કૃષ્ણ ને મોહમદ, તમારા માઘ, કાલિદાસ, બિરાદર એ બધા મારા! હમારા રાહ છે ન્યારા!
— Kalapi
Meaning

The figures you revere, such as Krishna, Muhammad, Magha, and Kalidasa, are considered my brothers. We, however, follow our own unique path.

Explanation

This beautiful couplet shares a powerful message of unity. The poet says, 'Your Krishna and Mohammed, your great writers Magh and Kalidas – they are all mine!' It means that while people might see these revered figures as belonging to their specific religion or culture, for the poet, all these great souls are part of a universal heritage. They are saying, 'Brother, we don't need to divide them. Our path is different; it's one of inclusiveness and shared reverence for all inspiring personalities, transcending boundaries.' It's an invitation to see beyond divisions and appreciate the collective wisdom and inspiration from all traditions.
