The vision in mind in this world I want to find
The vision in mind in this world I want to find
Secret of my life, cannot keep my eyes blind
Neither I am worried or free from it, cannot engage mind
In life I have to traverse through troubled waters of mind.
Days and days pass by like a twisting of twine
Memories and memories rise in my mind
I am not fully awake, cannot keep eyes shut like blind.
Worries may come and go, I should not lose my mind
Happier I shall be, in life, true meaning of happiness if I find
Wake up and up in life, is a watchword of my mind.
Satguru Shri Devendra Ghia (Kaka)

| English Explanation |
|
In this English hymn, He is motivating us for understanding how we are knowingly or unknowingly seeking something that would bring true solace and happiness -
We are all trying to find a calm and peaceful life that will bring us happiness but for some reasons, it keeps eluding us
Yet, I need to keep searching for it so that I can find it
I do not actually focus on seeking it constantly but neither does it go out out my mind such that I can forget about it
Our usual life consists of continuously overcoming many preconceived notions of our mind
Without our realising it, so much time goes by in our managing our own self-created thoughts of our mind based on our past experiences and feelings
These ambivalent emotions neither allow us to become at ease nor do they allow us to move on
Causes of concerns, doubts, insecurities about our past, current and future will continuously keep coming up but we must not let them cripple us from taking any further decisions or actions
But, we need to be careful in all our thoughts and actions and not give up our quest to find real happiness by looking for it’s actual source
Kakaji is explaining to us that while we continue leading our daily lives with it’s usual myriad of issues that need to be faced and managed, we will feel something lacking and missing in our lives no matter whatever we accomplish. The only sure way to handle this is to first acknowledge the presence of the Divine and the Almighty and then be prepared to surrender ourselves completely to God. Only God is the true source of any type of happiness and only He can grace us with this to truly ease everything in our life as it is neither imaginary nor fleeting like any other material trappings we may mistake happiness for.
