For the sake of sustaining my praan {life} what deeds have I not done?

{rhetorical question} , but just as droplets of water slither away on the

lotus leaf in the same way my breaths are slithering away {coming to an

end}. As a result of hankaar {ego} those whose minds are blinded I stood

before them composing/singing their praises , abandoning my kul's laaj

{family honour} and my budhi {intelligence}.

I am the khaan {treasure mine} of all gunn {good attributes} and you are

a daani {donator} akin to Indar just as in Kurukshetra {during an

eclipse} the donated alms give huge fruition , in the same way the daan

{alms} given to me by you will give you much phall {fruition}. i.e. I am

asking daan {good attributes from you in the form of alms}.

For the purpose of sustaining my praan {life} I have engaged in such

deeds , tolerating insults/reprimands from others but the svaas

{breaths} still continue to decline.{2}.

The parents who gave birth to me have passed away a long time ago. My

childhood friends too have passed away , only I remain but my body has

become aged.

Just as there is a tree on the sandy banks of a stream , it is only short

lived , my body has become like that and death is approaching nearer

and nearer on a daily basis.

Just as a snake has caught a frog in its mouth but the frog forgets death

and fantasises about eating masharr {insects} , in the same way my

janam {birth} as a maha moorakh {ultimate fool} has taken place who

whilst in the mouth of the metaphorical snake {death} still yearn like the

frog for the metaphorical{insects} masharr of bhog {physical

indulgences} by running after them.{3}.

1. My remaining life is but only seconds , cannot figure out what to attach

the mind to?

2. Sometimes I ponder "should I build a shack on the banks of the

Ganges and engage in endurance in order to eliminate my torment?".

3. Then I ponder "the many istrian {females} of superior virtues who

showed much devotion/dedication towards me , should I wander around

with them?".

4. From time to time I have the furnah {fantasy/desire} to scrutinise

thoroughly the teachings contained in the sacred scriptures , to focus on

these scriptures thus drinking the metaphorical Amrit Rass {sweet

nectar}.{4}.

"TAPP TRIYAH SUDDHA ASIDDH TRAEH NIMAKH AOUKHAH

By sitting on the banks of the Ganges and engaging in strict endurance ,

the achievement of virtuous females , the acquisition of the Amrit rass{sweet nectar} of reading scriptures , these three things cannot be

achieved since tapp {endurance} and vidhyia {education} requires a very

lengthy lifespan.

That is why without becoming niraas {renouncing} the dukh roop sansar

{torment filled world} one cannot acquire Abbeh Sukh {eternal

bliss}.{5}.

The creator with unfathomable power in the form of kaal {death}

together with his istri {wife} kaali {the creator in the form of} sit and

play chaupadh {dice game}. The four directions , four sub-directions ,

four eras , and the four seasons are the sixteen houses of this game. The

people of the four categories are the nardh {pawns/pieces} , day andnight are the sides , this dampatti {husband and wife i.e. creator and

death} cast the ultimate throw of dice since they fear on one.

The house where there were many now just has one , where there was

just one there are now many. Everything happens in the blink of an eye.

Kaal and Kaali {creator and creator in the form of death} have emptied

an abundance of pawns/pieces {people} but up until now the chaupadh

{dice game} still remains intact since the staff i.e. Bramha etc stillremain to be consumed.{6}.

Bhavv=ShivJi.

As a result of the sun rising and then going down my breaths are

decreasing on a daily basis just as the water in an unbaked clay pot seeps

out drop by drop , thus leaving it empty.

People of the world are so intoxicated in their daily routines of

materialistic pursuits that they have forgotten death.

The fear of death in childhood , adolescence , and old age does not

enter/penetrate the mind just as the reflection of the sun does not

enter/penetrate a wall.

The world , having drunk the metaphorical alcohol of moh {attachment}

, has become insane and that is why the world has neglected the

concentration/meditation of ShivJi and Parbatti.{7}.

present futre. Awake/sleep/sub-conscious. Tinn balaadh= three stages of

childhood , youth , and old age.

It is of great amazement that the entities that do not give fruition are

always taking place/being produced in my mind.

The beginning , middle , or end of such cannot be conceived just as

waves/bubbles occur in the ocean but then disappear again and in the

same way sankalp {flights of fantasy} occur and disappear in my mind.

These flights of fantasy never cease in the three eras of time , the threeeras of childhood , youth , and old age except for a short respite in

sakhopti {deep sleep}. Budhepah {old age} has consumed javani {youth}

as a result of which my strength has diminished and in every way I have

become deenh {helpless}.{8}.

Without the realisation of Pramatma {creator} all the gunn {good

Kaal {death} that is without mercy is immensely balli {powerful} , i.e. it

does not leave anyone out , kaal is the destroyer of Bramha's {given the

task of creating world} world and it is not known when kaal will strike.

Upon hearing this my mann {mind} asks:

Prashan {question}: What is the saresht {special} yukti {technique} for

acquiring mukti {liberation}? as a result of which the mann's {mind's}

sansa {doubts} dispel and reach a state of shanti {peace/calm}.

Uttar {answer}:If both of the metaphorical lotus feet {Hari Charan , i.e.

creators name} are forsaken then what other method of mukti

{liberation} is there? {rhetorical question}. Artharth {in other words}

Without the creator's name there is no other method of mukti{liberation}.{9}.

It is striking heh bhai {oh brother}! and a matter of great torment that

even such mighty kings have been reduced to rubble ,i.e. dead.

The creator through Bramha does the naas {finishing} of the

world/universe but still remains asangh {unaffected} and is still not full
