| English Explanation |

In this English hymn, Kaka gives us significant glimpses of what to do and what not to do in our life -
None of us wants to deliberately have any kind of suffering in our life
Even though all of us know that it is necessary to fulfill our duties in life, we still sometimes neglect to do so ; we must not do so
Because of our ego and desire to always have our own way, we end up hurting people and our ignoring them will only lead them to become our adversaries ; the more we do so, the more enemies we will end up creating ; we should make the effort to make friends
We will face challenges and difficulties in life, but we must not get overwhelmed and give in ; we must face it head on
Even though we know that life can throw unexpected and even harsh circumstances on us, we should not be always be scared in suspense ; we should focus on managing it only when it does happen
We know what are the right things and actions in life and we should not hesitate from doing so
We do not know what the future holds for us and we should not waste our time by being concerned about it
We knowingly do many things in life that are not correct ; so, we must fight the urge to do so as we surely know better as we have been taught better
Just giving lip sympathy and empathy will not help anyone ; we have to take action to always do whatever we can to actually help
To lead a peaceful life in harmony, we need to do certain things as a standard way of our normal day to day life and we need to avoid certain things regardless of the circumstances. To carry out our responsibilities in the best way possible, to compromise even in adverse circumstances, to face difficulties and challenges instead of running away from it in various ways, to lose confidence just worrying about the future which may happen or not happen, to be hesitant in doing the right things in life no matter how difficult it may be are very important nuggets for our conducting our daily life. Just wishful thinking about what all needs to be done without actually doing it is of no use whatsoever.
