For 1000's of Kirtans and Kathas, visit http://listen.bhujmandir.org Dhiraj dhar tu are adhira, Ishwar pure ann jone, Khalak tano chhe khatko prabhu no, sachu maane maan jone..(1) In this verse, Devanand Swami explains that we should have faith in God as He is the provider of all things, and live our lives being happy and understanding why we need to be patient and with forbearance. (1) Janamyu tene jivaadvaane, upay shodhyo shuudh jone, Haad maasna haiya madhye, deve sarjya dudh jone... (2) To those who God has given teeth, he has also given food. He who has created this world has also by default taken the responsibility to provide for and preserve it. (2) Kidii ne kan hathi ne man, chaar pagaane chaar jone, Koshitama kit wase chhe, Ishwar pure ahaar jone... (3) Maseed kera kot minaara, upar ugya zaad jone, Pathar uppar paani warse, te Ishwar no paad jone... (4) Devanand Swami is giving us examples from our daily lives and illustrating God's power in providing for the universe. He is showing us the miracles that God has performed. For example, God provides milk in a mother's chest for the baby, small seeds for the ants, leaves on branches of trees for the elephants, grass for the cattle, ready food for the embryos still in cocoons, food easily obtainable near the water for the swami to feed on, food and water for the growth of the bursting plants from the cracks of the ground, among others. (3-4) Arnya van ma ajgar rahe chhe, daglu na bhare daut jone, Vishwambharnu birud vichaaro, khaavaani shi khot jone... (5) He gives us a proper idea of the creation of this universe. In the Lords' kingdom, even the python is very well fed even though he has no feet. He provides food for the spider that builds a web in the corner to sit in. God himself created this universe; He cares and is concerned for all living in it. After all this, why should we lose faith in Him? (5) Anar pakshi akaashe rahe chhe, madzar bharkhe mota jone, Parmeshwarni krupa vade to, baniya jalna gota jone... (6) Under His control, clouds form and fall as rain; with His blessings, we obtain everything. In His eyes we are all equal; He gives us the right gift at the right time. (6) Maraal ne moti no choro, vakhte ape vhalo jone, Devanand kahe dev bharose, Magan thaine malo jone... (7) That is why man should always include patience, forbearance and faith in his bhakti (devotion), leaving the rest to God. The bhakti we do is never wasted; whatever we have sown will always grow. What we throw away is what we lose. (7)
