I want to be, I want to be, in life that I want to be
I want to be, I want to be, in life that I want to be,
Without making right decision, cannot have what I want to be,
If there is no force behind, how can I be what I want to be?
Without determination, cannot reach destination, that is to be,
Everybody in life, we hear, always saying that I want to be,
Neither this way nor that way, only way of surety is to be.
Keeping aside, casting off shakiness that can lead what you want to be,
Be, to be or not to be; always can change life to be;
I am where I am, everybody is there where they should be
Changing always what to be can never bring you what to be.
Satguru Shri Devendra Ghia (Kaka)

| English Explanation |

In this English hymn, He informs us about the basic different things that we must do to achieve anything in life
We all make plans at various stages of our life as to what we would like to do and what we would like to achieve
If we are not fully prepared to do whatever that is required of us, we will not be able to get what we want nor achieve what we want
If we are not motivated by our own sense of rightness, then it will not be possible for us to succeed in our efforts
If we are not able to work with full dedication, we will not be able to succeed in our efforts
Everyone keep saying that they want to this or they want to do that ; but, if they do not follow through with the right efforts and dilly dally, then the results will also be not as wanted
To ensure success in your efforts, you have to have the firm willpower and the drive
Depending what we want to do and what we actually manage to do will determine the progress of our life
All of us are at different stages of our life and can continue to remain at the same level without any growth or take the right actions and move to further and further levels
Continuous inconsistency will make you stagnant and never lead you to any growth whatsoever
Kaka is informing us about the basic need and prerequisites of moving forward in life, such that we internally come to a firm decision on what we want or would like to do or like to achieve in life. We then need to have the conviction and persistence in all our efforts. Wishful thinking without any sincere efforts will make us go through our current life with laziness or self pity and will be a waste of this whole life. Even if God wishes to grace us and bless us, He will hesitate as if we ourselves don't care strongly enough, there is no need for Him to do anything for us at all.
