It is worth meeting others, but is worth meeting you within you
It is worth meeting others, but is worth meeting you within you,
It is worth getting experience, but worth experiencing yourself too,
It is worth thinking about world, but is worth thinking about you,
It is worth helping others, but worth uplifting oneself too,
It is worth bringing everyone near, but worth bringing God near you,
It is worth seeing beautiful things in life, but worth seeing God too,
It is worth knowing everyone in life, but worth knowing God too,
It is worth living an ideal life, but ideal should be worth too.

SATGURU DEVENDRA GHIA (KAKA)
| English Explanation |
|
In this English hymn, He advises the following -
We humans by nature are social beings and we need to feed off the interactions with the other beings
We want the drama of going through the whole range of emotions in all our interactions, such as get fascinated, envious, displeased, disgusted, happy, unhappy and so forth
But what we do not try to do is to try meet our own self ; in this, there would be no highs of drama but no inevitable of lows either
While we experience the others and the world, we must also think about ourself and what our purpose is
In our interactions with others, there will be give and take and we should always help others and as we do so, we must also try to help our own self by turning to God
We can appreciate all the beautiful things around us and in life, which has been created by God ; Just imagine how great it would be see to see the actual Creator of all of this
While we try to increase our circle of acquaintances, we need to make the ultimate contact – God
While we think and try to live the ideal life, we must need to understand what is the ideal life
We mistakenly do not understand the purpose of our life nor do we want to try hard to understand. We think that life should just revolve around family, friends, work, society at large and enjoyment. When we realize that any enjoyment we get from our everyday life is all just temporary, we will try to find a permanent high, which comes from within, our own state of mind. But, it is not possible to achieve this by our own self. The only true help that we can get is from our Guru, our Pujya Kaka, our mentor, our ultimate wellwisher, who himself is form of God. Dedicating oneself to our Guru is same as dedicating oneself to the Almighty and with thorough surrender to the Guru, he will help us achieve what will be the very best for us.
