સ્વયં અનુભૂતિ, આત્મનિરીક્ષણ (Self Realization, Introspection)

View Original

I shall be, what I want to be

Is it the body, known by the name is me?

Or, the dwelling spirit within me is me?

Know not who I am, want to know me, within me

If seeing is believing, I have never seen me

Still I am sure, I shall find me, within me

Close as I am to me, still I am ignorant about me

Is it all powerful Almighty always guiding me?

Never let me down, helped me, what I want to be

It is clear as crystal, I am him and he is within me

SATGURU DEVENDRA GHIA (KAKA)

English Explanation

In this English hymn on introspection, He is asking the following -

We as human being, choose what we want to be

But, are we what we are because of our physical body that has been named so and so on this earth in this life ?

Or, are we what we are because of what is actually buried deepest within us, our soul ?

I would like to know the real me, that is truly inside me

We do not know our own real self even though we are closest to our own self

As we usually believe only whatever that we see with our own eyes, we don't see our real self

But, I have no doubts that the Almighty God will help me to find my true self within me so that I can become what He really wants me to be

By my becoming what He wants with His help, it is only then that I will know that the Almighty God is within me and I am part of Him and so who I actually am

Due to our being able to understand only the one dimension of this physical life and world, we don't really know who we are and what God wanted us to be. We also don't want to accept or believe what we actually are with all our human failings and qualities. But, with God's grace, He will be able to help us to know what we should be and how to become what He wants. When that happens, we will know that He is in us and we are in Him and that there is no separation between God and us
