What we do and what we think in life, it always matters
Right thought and right deeds makes life always smoother
By acting rashly in life, we make life bitter and bitter
We have to strive hard to make life better and better
To be fine and good in life we are late, should not be later
Relations with others, we should make sweet and sweeter
We should always make and keep our mind cool and cooler
We should discard wrong things in life, should not allow to cluster
Wrong deeds and thoughts, shall make us weak and weaker
Do and do, do not stop half way; you have to reach last step of ladder
SATGURU DEVENDRA GHIA (KAKA)
Explanation in English
In this English hymn, Kaka (Satguru Devendra Ghia) shows how we can live a meaningful life and a good life -
All our thoughts and actions can have appropriate consequences, either favorable or unfavorable, either positive or negative
Favorable thoughts and actions will result only in positive results for others and ourselves
Acting without care and concern for others will result in encroaching the rights of others and will lead to only unpleasantness of various sorts
We have to make sincere efforts to improve our life today itself without putting it off through excuses that we will do so once we are in better position to do so
As none of us are isolated by ourselves but live in a world of interdependency with others, it is necessary to have good relationships with everyone
However, such continuous dealings with everyone can lead to many differences but we need to be calm and give necessary space and credit to others to their own entitlement of doing things their way
Any thing or actions that are not favorable or positive to others should be avoided and not have it as our standard way within us so that it does not consume us
If we persist on any type of wrong feelings, thoughts and actions towards others, any progress and improvement in our life will become wasted effort
Though this may be difficult at times and take an inordinate amount of time to yield any progress, we have to keep doing this without stopping or giving up.
We stay in a world that is inter-related in innumerable ways and it is not possible to live a life with the focus only on ourselves so that no one matters to us because we do not want to get distracted by others. We should have concern for the wellbeing of others and do our best to assist in any way that we can. If we are true to this objective of helping others, we will be able to have the right thoughts, positive feelings and then be able to take the right actions. This will help give meaning to our own life and help avoid unpleasantness with anyone or anything.
