Again, again and again, we make mistakes in life again
Again, again and again, we make mistakes in life again
We let lose reigns on our actions and thoughts, we do not refrain
We do not discriminate good or bad, but we like to retain and retain
Rash actions and thoughts will bring in life pain and pain
Life we have to live in such a way without any stain
Always good in life, we have always to try hard to retain
Circumstances will let down confidence, but always we have to regain
Wrong ways and wrong deeds, progress always will detain
Good relation with everybody, always in life will bring gain and gain
Satguru Shri Devendra Ghia (Kaka)
Again, again and again, we make mistakes in life again
We let lose reigns on our actions and thoughts, we do not refrain
We do not discriminate good or bad, but we like to retain and retain
Rash actions and thoughts will bring in life pain and pain
Life we have to live in such a way without any stain
Always good in life, we have always to try hard to retain
Circumstances will let down confidence, but always we have to regain
Wrong ways and wrong deeds, progress always will detain
Good relation with everybody, always in life will bring gain and gain
SATGURU DEVENDRA GHIA (KAKA)
Explanation in English
In this English hymn, Kaka (Satguru Devendra Ghia) is showing us how we should lead our life
We human beings pre-program ourselves to make mistakes somehow, even though God did not program us for this
We just want to think of only ourself and we want to only do things that gives us pleasure
We do not want to think of others or consider how our actions or words will affect them
We do not want to consider whether something is right or wrong, good or bad, as long as we get to do whatever we want to do
Such thoughtless actions will only result ultimately in difficulties for us, which can be happen in infinite number of ways
So, we should live our life in such a way that no one can say that we did not care about anyone or anything
We should only do acts of kindness and charity towards one and all, without putting ourselves in that equation
Even if we face difficulties in our life that prevent us from doing the right acts and we feel like giving up so that we don't have to make any special efforts towards others, we cannot lose our determination
If we keep doing wrong actions and go back to our old careless ways, we will never be able to come out of our cycle
If we are able to have good relationships with one and all without us being the focus, we will get the same good will and help back from everyone
As a lot of our negative actions and words result from our thoughts and our mouth, we should turn our focus to God and His infinite forgiveness to one and all, despite our own endless mistakes. As for the harsh utterances causing hurt to others, we have to control ourselves and let them just be. Even if we somehow try to justify our unkind words in the guise of teaching a lesson or for their own benefit, then we should be aware that it is ok for others to learn from their own actions, whether right or wrong in our opinion, just as God is letting us do.
