A blogger "Bach" called those "flesh eating crows" and I had to express...
I came across a blog referencing " कागा सब तन खाइयो चुन चुन खाइयो मांस; दो नैना मत खाइयो मोहे पिया मिला की आस " (://bachodi.in/2021/03/20/flesh-eating-crows-and-other-songs/ ) The theme of self-sacrifice/self-torture is not alien to someone who is slightly also familiar with Sufi songs or Kabir Dohas. To my understanding these kind of verses suggest that love is difficult- be it divine or physical-ephemeral. Painfully poignant, the said lines reminds me of a verse: “Kabir yeh ghar prem ka, khala ka ghar naahi; sees utaare bhui dhare, tab paithe ghar maahi” The beheading here, is a metaphor for dissolving of ego and not real imagery that conjures upon the mind. I do believe there is another metaphysical dimension to eating of flesh. The reference of eating of flesh also reminds me of torture of Prometheus for stealing of fire. The difference between the torture of Prometheus and baba Fareed or Kabeer doha is self afflicted pain vs pain imposed by someone else on you. M
