છુપાવ્યું જ્ઞાન મુજમાં બ્રહ્માંડનું, રાખ્યો મુજને એથી અજાણ
ભરી શક્તિ મુજમાં વિશ્વની, રાખ્યો તોયે મુજને એથી અજાણ
ભટક્યો વિશ્વમાં, મૂળ શાંતિનું મુજમાં, રહ્યો એનાથી તો અજાણ
સુખ કાજે ફર્યો જગમાં, મૂળ હતું મુજમાં, રહ્યો એનાથી તો અજાણ
ડર લાગ્યો, હતો હું એકલો, રહ્યો હું તો મુજથી તો અજાણ
પ્રકાશ કાજે ફર્યો, પ્રકાશ પુંજ રહ્યો મુજમાં, રહ્યો હું તો એથી અજાણ
વિંટાયા વાદળ ઘણા, ન હતા લેવા કે દેવા, રહ્યો તોયે એનાથી અજાણ
ઢૂંઢતો રહ્યો સાથ સત્યનો, મળ્યો ના સાથ તારો, રહ્યો તુજથી અજાણ
કરતો રહ્યો કિંમત અન્યની, મુજની કિંમત ન જાણી, રહ્યો મુજથી અજાણ
મુજને પ્રભુમાં દીઠો, પ્રભુને મુજમાં, ગયો ભેદ તો ત્યાં ઉકેલાય
સદ્દગુરુ દેવેન્દ્ર ઘીયા (કાકા)
Explanation in English
Shri Devendra Ghia, fondly called Pujya Kaka, our Guruji has given treasure of bhajans through which he is guiding us, influencing us, illuminating us and being with us always. In this bhajan, he is explaining that one should focus inwards rather than outwards to find answers while on a spiritual journey. That is what is self realization.
He is saying...
You have hidden the knowledge of the universe within me, still I am ignorant of the same.
You have filled your energy within me, still remained ignorant of the same.
Wandered everywhere in the world in search for peace, which has always been present within me, still remained ignorant of the same.
Felt scared, felt alone, still remained ignorant about my own self.
Wandered for light (awareness), which has always been present within me, still remained ignorant of the same.
Surrounded by clouds of circumstances, which are of no connection or importance to me, still remained ignorant of the same.
Kept on searching for truth, did not find you anywhere, still remained ignorant of you within me.
Kept on valuing others, never valued myself, still remained ignorant of myself.
I saw myself in God, and saw God within me. The mystery was solved instantaneously.
Kaka is explaining a very profound phenomenon of our existence in this universe. The first line only says it all-The whole universe is within us. We search for happiness, peace, knowledge everything outside, actually, it is all inside us. The end of spiritual quest is self realization. We need to realize that God is not different entity.
When road ends and goal is gained, a seeker finds that he has travelled only from himself to himself.
