कहा प्रभु से बिगड़ता क्या, मेरी बिगड़ी बनाने में Vinod Agarwal Bhajan lyrics - kaha Prabhu se bigadta kya,meri bigadi banane mein


kaha Prabhu se bigadta kya,meri bigadi banane men

 

कहा प्रभु से बिगड़ता क्या , मेरी बिगड़ी बनाने में 

मज़ा क्या रहा तुमको, मुझे दर दर घूमाने में 


वे बोले क्यों मेरे पीछे पड़ा तू रोज़ रहता है,

मैं बोला, दूसरा कोई और बता दो ज़माने में  

(तुम्हारे जैसे केवल तुम ही हो, (no  alternate , no substitute )


 

वे बोले मेरी मर्ज़ी है करूंगा कृपा किस किस पर

मैं बोला साफ़ ही केहदो बचा कुछ नहीं ख़ज़ाने में 

 

वे बोले होश में बोलो, नहीं मैं रूठ जायूँगा,

मैं बोला हो बड़े माहिर जल्दी रूठ जाने में  

 

कहीं कुछ साधना की है, वो बोले तो कहा मैंने

सुना है रीझ जाते हो फ़क़त आंसू बहाने में 


वे बोले मेरी मर्ज़ी है करूंगा जो भी चाहूंगा

मैं बोला कर दो परिवर्तन करूणानिधि कहाने में 

 

ठाकुर बोले धीरे बोल, वैसे ही kalyug है और लोग कम आते हैं

तू ज़्यादा बोलेगा तो मेरी बोनी भी नहीं होगी

 

वे बोले करुणा दया होती तो जन राजेश (swami  Rajeshwaranand जी होते

मैं बोला  हर्ज़ फिर क्या है, मुझे मुख छवि दिखाने में 


कहा
प्रभु से बिगड़ता क्या , मेरी बिगड़ी बनाने में

All your doubts keep getting cleared successively in the process of Bhakti, the added advantage is that it is “cumulative” even after death #Blog0030

All your doubts keep getting cleared successively in the process of Bhakti, the added advantage is that it is “cumulative” even after death , i.e., in next birth, if at all, you start from the level you finished in previous birth – unlike our worldly achievements where you have to start from all over again from scratch 


Or [if unsuccessful after long practice of yoga] he takes his birth in a family of transcendentalists who are surely great in wisdom. Certainly, such a birth is rare in this world.


On taking such a birth, he revives the divine consciousness of his previous life, and he again tries to make further progress in order to achieve complete success, O son of Kuru.


By virtue of the divine consciousness of his previous life, he automatically becomes attracted to the yogic principles – even without seeking them. Such an inquisitive transcendentalist stands always above the ritualistic principles of the scriptures.


Persons who have acted piously in previous lives and in this life and whose sinful actions are completely eradicated are freed from the dualities of delusion, and they engage themselves in My service with determination.


In the next birth, one acquires remembrance from the Supersoul and begins to execute the plans begun in the previous life.


One ordinarily does not begin to practice bhakti-yoga unless he has practiced it in previous births


The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: My dear Prahlāda, O most pure, O great saintly person, your father has been purified, along with twenty-one forefathers in your family. Because you were born in this family, the entire dynasty has been purified.

Thus when a Vaiṣṇava takes birth in a family, by the grace of the Lord he purifies not only that family but also the families of his previous births.


ज्यों ज्यों आप भक्ति रूपी सीढ़ी के ऊपर चड़ते हैं 

सवाल कम होते जाते हैं 

आखिरी पायदान पर सब प्रश्न शून्य हो जाते हैं 

एक ही उत्तर साक्षात्कार होता है : “तुम” (हे कृष्ण) 

100 बातें, 1000 विचार, 1,00,000 सवाल 

जवाब केवल एक : “तुम” (हे कृष्ण)  

     

इसलिए 1000  सवाल जवाब के चस्कों में मत पड़िए / उलझिए 

सीधे सीधे सत्संग करिए और भक्ति मार्ग का आनंद लीजिए (हमें भगवान (or in other words भगवत प्रेम) इस जनम में मिले न मिलें, ग़म नहीं, मगर भक्ति मार्ग ही इतना आनंददाई और सुखदाई है 

कि जो न ले वो जनम ही हारा 


"जब शमा भुजने लगती है, तो महफिल में रंग आता है,       

जीवन ख़त्म होता है ,तो जीने का ढंग आता है”         

“कहत सुनत दशा हृदय नहीं आवे” 

you cannot appreciate the feeling of bliss of devotion only by casual reading or casual listening  or by mere questions & answers – you have to have sincerity of purpose for your invaluable human life  & seriously dive deep into the core - to utilise the precious moments of our lives    


कवि गोपाल नीरज कहते हैं :

अब के सावन मेरे साथ फिर वही बात हुई  

मेरा घर छोड़ के सारे शहर में बरसात हुई

मैं कहता रहा लोग सुनते रहे (मैं कवि हूं)

यह होता रहा, वह होता रहा

(खूब तालियां पिटती रही मेरी कविता पर 

खूब बड़े-बड़े पुरस्कार मिलते रहे मुझे 

बड़े मरम (deep meaning) की बात कहता है कवि

ना हुआ तो बस यह ना हुआ

जिंदगी भर मेरी खुद से ना कोई बात हुई


आत्म संपर्क नहीं बना कभी स्वयं से 

कभी बात नहीं कर पाए आप अपने आप से

The poet kept on singing his well composed poems & got several clappings & accolades from all over the world but the bottom line is that HE COULD NEVER GET THE TIME OR OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO HIMSELF.

THAT IS THE SIMILAR TRAGEDY FOR MOST OF US THAT WE DO NOT GET LUCKY ENOUGH TO SIT QUIETLY & TRY TO PEEP DEEP INTO OURSELVES & TALK TO OUR GOD (OUR BFF - BEST FRIEND FOREVER) WHO, SITTING IN HEARTS OF EACH OF US, WAITS PATIENTLY ALL THE LIFE & ACROSS COUNTLESS LIVES FOR US TO TURN OUR FACE TOWARDS HIM & LISTEN TO HIS VOICE & LOVE HIM SO THAT WE CAN GET ETERNAL BLISS & REST IN HIS ABODE BREAKING THIS WORLDLY BIRTH DEATH CYCLE OF OLD AGE & DISEASE.


IMAGINE HIS KINDNESS HOW PATIENTLY HE WAITS FOR US TO TURN TO HIM – HE DOES NOT FORCE US ALTHOUGH TO HIS DEVOTEES HE IS MOST ATTENTIVE & QUICKLY GUIDES THEM AWAY FROM THIS TEMPORARY WORLD.

Gita shloka 4.42, THE DOUBTS OUT OF IGNORANCE SHOULD BE SLASHED BY THE WEAPON OF KNOWLEDGE, 22nd Aug

Gita shloka 4.42, THE DOUBTS OUT OF IGNORANCE SHOULD BE SLASHED BY THE WEAPON OF KNOWLEDGE. SPIRITUAL ACTIVITIES INVOLVES UNDERSTANDING OF ONE'S OWN SELF (OR ONE'S CONSTITUTIONAL POSITION), AND THE TRUTH REGARDING THE SUPREME PERSONALITY OF GODHEAD. ONE WHO DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE REAL NATURE OF THE LORD AS THE ETERNAL, BLISSFUL, ALL-KNOWING PERSONALITY OF GODHEAD, IS CERTAINLY FOOL NUMBER ONE.


TRANSLATION

Therefore the doubts which have arisen in your heart out of ignorance should be slashed by the weapon of knowledge. Armed with yoga, O Bharata, stand and fight.

PURPORT

The yoga system instructed in this chapter is called sanatana-yoga, or eternal activities performed by the living entity.


 This yoga has two divisions of sacrificial actions: one is called sacrifice of one's material possessions, and the other is called knowledge of self, which is pure spiritual activity.


 If sacrifice of one's material possessions is not dovetailed for spiritual realization, then such sacrifice becomes material.


 But one who performs such sacrifices with a spiritual objective, or in devotional service, makes a perfect sacrifice.


 When we come to spiritual activities, we find that these are also divided into two: namely, understanding of one's own self (or one's constitutional position), and the truth regarding the Supreme Personality of Godhead.


 One who follows the path of the Gita as it is can very easily understand these two important divisions of spiritual knowledge.


 For him there is no difficulty in obtaining perfect knowledge of the self as part and parcel of the Lord.


 And such understanding is beneficial for such a person who easily understands the transcendental activities of the Lord.


 In the beginning of this chapter, the transcendental activities of the Lord were discussed by the Supreme Lord Himself.


 One who does not understand the instructions of the Gita is faithless, and is to be considered to be misusing the fragmental independence awarded to him by the Lord.


 In spite of such instructions, one who does not understand the real nature of the Lord as the eternal, blissful, all-knowing Personality of Godhead, is certainly fool number one.


 Ignorance can be removed by gradual acceptance of the principles of Krsna consciousness.


 Krsna consciousness is awakened by different types of sacrifices to the demigods, sacrifice to Brahman, sacrifice in celibacy, in household life, in controlling the senses, in practicing mystic yoga, in penance, in foregoing material possessions, in studying the Vedas, and in partaking of the social institution called varnasrama-dharma.


 All of these are known as sacrifice, and all of them are based on regulated action.


 But within all these activities, the important factor is self-realization.


 One who seeks that objective is the real student of Bhagavad-gita, but one who doubts the authority of Krsna falls back.


 One is therefore advised to study Bhagavad-gita, or any other scripture, under a bona fide spiritual master, with service and surrender.


 A bona fide spiritual master is in the disciplic succession from time eternal, and he does not deviate at all from the instructions of the Supreme Lord as they were imparted millions of years ago to the sun-god, from whom the instructions of Bhagavad-gita  have come down to the earthly kingdom.


 One should, therefore, follow the path of Bhagavad-gita as it is expressed in the Gita itself and beware of self-interested people after personal aggrandizement who deviate others from the actual path.


 The Lord is definitely the supreme person, and His activities are transcendental.


 One who understands this is a liberated person from the very beginning of his study of the Gita.

Gita shloka 4.41:- ONE WHO HAS RENOUNCED THE FRUITS OF HIS ACTION, WHOSE DOUBTS ARE DESTROYED BY TRANSCENDENTAL KNOWLEDGE, AND WHO IS SITUATED FIRMLY IN THE SELF, IS NOT BOUND BY WORKS, 21st Aug

Gita shloka 4.41:- ONE WHO HAS RENOUNCED THE FRUITS OF HIS ACTION, WHOSE DOUBTS ARE DESTROYED BY TRANSCENDENTAL KNOWLEDGE, AND WHO IS SITUATED FIRMLY IN THE SELF, IS NOT BOUND BY WORKS


TRANSLATION

Therefore, one who has renounced the fruits of his action, whose doubts are destroyed by transcendental knowledge, and who is situated firmly in the self, is not bound by works, O conqueror of riches.


PURPORT

One who follows the instruction of the Gita, as it is imparted by the Lord, the Personality of Godhead Himself, becomes free from all doubts by the grace of transcendental knowledge.


He, as a part and parcel of the Lord, in full Krsna consciousness, is already established in self-knowledge.


As such, he is undoubtedly above bondage to action.
