Simple Translation
Hum, us teen aankh waale Maha Gyaani Bhagwaan Shiv ke saamne, shraddha aur bhakti se saadhana karte hay, praathna karte hay.
Jaise maali (gardener) powdhe ko seech kar ke us mein sugandhit phool ugaa deta hay, he Prabhu ! apne gyan, buddhi, vivek se hamara bhi jeewan sugandhit, khushhaal, anand may bana do. Hum jeewan ko samajh sake. Accha aur bura mein antar jaan sake.
Kakri (rock melon) pak jaane ke baad apne aap daali se alag ho jaata hay, us mein se ek sugandh aata hay, sansaar ko nimantran deta hay ki aao mere raseele phal ko khao aur anand prapt karo. Usi tarah, gyan buddhi vivek se – jab hamaara bhi jaane ka samay ho to sansaar se, pariwaar se koi lagaao na rahe. Apni sansaarik sampati chordne mein dukh na ho.
Hindu scripture, like all other holy books, has enormous lessons for a wonderful happy life. Guru jano ki kripa se, Prabhu ki asheervaad se - whatever I understand I try to explain in my tooti-footi words. Please do not misinterpret this as Updesh - I'm not trying to lecture you ! This is not an Adesh - I'm not trying to order you around ! Please accept this as a beautiful Sandesh - a message of happiness, freedom and a small step towards the ultimate goal !
Guru Ji baar baar samjha rahe hay, bata rahe hay, gyan baat rahe hay, lekin mere mun mein utna hi
So I can, and I will, only tell you what I have understood. This may not be the best you have heard, please forgive me and my little brain !
Muskuraate raho !
