घिस-घिसकर, दे गया जग को, सुगंध और शीतलता तो चंदन
वह सिखा गया इन्सान तुझे, बना इस तरह तेरा तू जीवन।
कीचड़ से बाहर आकर, अलिप्त रहकर, निकला जैसे कमल
रंग काला होते हुए भी, करती रही कोयल तो मीठी गुंजन।
फिरते-फिरते खूब फेरे, रहा वही का वही, जग में तो घानी का बैल
सागर तो बना रहा है, सुख-दुःख की, भरती ओट, करनी पड़ेगी सहन।
तेरा नाखून बता रहा है, तुझे तेरा होते हुए भी, है तुझसे अलग,
देना है प्रकाश जग को, दीपक जला कर के बता गया, तुझे जग कारण जलना पड़ेगा।
जब तैरना है इस संसार में, नाव तैर कर सीखा गई, जल ऊपर तुझे उठना पड़ेगा।
उठने का आनंद लेना है जब जग में, बंधन तोड के, पंख फैलाना पडेगा।
सतगुरू देवेंद्र घिया (काका)
Lyrics in English
ghisa-ghisakara, de gaya jaag ko, sugandh aura shitalata to chandana
vaha sikha gaya insana tuje, bana isa taraha tera tu jivana|
kichada़ se bahaar akara, alipta rahakara, nikala jaise kamala
rang kaal hote hue bhi, karti rahi koyala to mithi gunjana|
phirate-phirate khub phere, raah vahi ka vahi, jaag me to ghani ka baila
sagar to bana raah hai, sukha-duhkha ki, bharati ota, karani pada़egi sahana|
tera nakhuna bata raah hai, tuje tera hote hue bhi, hai tujase alaga,
dena hai prakash jaag ko, dipaka jal kara ke bata gaya, tuje jaag karana jalana pada़ega|
jaba tairana hai isa sansar mem, nav taira kara sikha gai, jal upar tuje uthana pada़ega|
uthane ka aanand lena hai jaba jaag mem, bandhan toda ke, pankha phailana padega|
Explanation in English
This Hindi Bhajan is written by Shri Devendra Ghiaji (Kakaji) .Here Kakaji is showing the similarities in life and nature and teaches us what we should learn from nature
Just as rubbing Sandalwood gives the world its fragrance and calmness,
It teaches us humans to become like that
Just as lotus blooms in the dirt and mud and remains aloof from the muck, it teaches us humans to become like that
Though black in colour, the cuckoo hums melodiously, it teaches us humans to become like that
Just as an ox circles there and there to remove oil from the grains,
Just as Ocean has low and high tide, similarly we will have to bear the joys and unhappiness in life.
Just as nails are our own yet separate from the rest of the body, we are in the body but this body is not us
Just as lamp gives light to the world burning itself down, you will have to give yourself to the world...
