SONG OF ADMONITION

Is there not a nobler mission than eating, drinking and sleeping?
Fie on that man, woe to that wretch
who neglects his life in sensual pleasures.
It is difficult to get a human birth,
therefore try your best to realise in this birth.
Time sweeps away kings and barons.
Where is Shakespeare, where is Valmiki?
Where is Napoleon, where is Sivaji?
Where is Gandhi, where is Jinah?
Where is Hitler, where is Mussolini?
Tell me frankly, what have you learned from two world wars,
from Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
At the time of death, when your throat is choked,
who will help you for your salvation?
Can you expect real Shaanti if you waste your time in scandels,
back-biting, in smoking, drinking, in fights and quarrels?
Therefore be up and doing in Yogic Saadhan, you will enjoy peace,
serenity, Kaivalya Moksha.

HET LIED VAN DE AANMANING

Is er geen nobeler opdracht dan eten, drinken en slapen?
Die man zal zich schamen, die ellendeling zal het zich berouwen
dat hij zijn leven verspilde in louter zingenot.
Het is moeilijk een menselijke geboorte te verwerven,
doe daarom je best de verlichting te bereiken in dit leven.
De tijd veegt koningen en baronnen weg.
Waar is Shakespeare, waar is Valmiki?
Waar is Napoleon, waar is Sivaji?
Waar is Gandhi, waar is Jinah?
Waar is Hitler, waar is Mussolini?
Zeg me oprecht, wat heb je geleerd van twee wereldoorlogen,
van Hiroshima en Nagasaki?
Op het ogenblik van je dood, wanneer je keel wordt dichtgeknepen,
wie zal je dan helpen voor je verlossing?
Kun je echte vrede verwachten als je je tijd verspilt in schandalen,
laster, in roken, drinken, in vechten en twisten?
Wees daarom op en doende in Yogasaadhanaa,
je zult vrede en sereniteit, kaivalya, moksha genieten.

Is there not a nobler mission than eating, drinking and sleeping?
it is difficult to get a human birth, therefore try your best to realise in this birth

fie on that wretch, woe to that man who wastes all his life in sensual pleasures
Time sweeps away kings and barons where is yuddhistir? Where is ashoka?
where is Shakespeare? Where is valmiki? where is napoleon? Where is shivaji?
Where is Gandhi, where is Jinah? be up and doing yogic Sadhana
you will enjoy supreme bliss be up and doin in brahma vichara
you will attain immortality, kaivalya moksha can you expect real shanti
if you waste your time in idle-gossiping? can you enjoy Supreme Peace
if you waste your time in novels, newspapers, in fights and quarrels, in scandal, backbiting,

When the mind melts in the silence, you will have Self-realisation.
What have you learnt, tell me frankly from the Bihar and Quetta earthquakes?
Have you got now real Vairag? Do you practise Japa and Kirtan?
Here is a challenge to non-believers of the Hindu theory of transmigration:
Have you not heard the thrilling narratives of Santi Devi, of her past life?
Can you expect real Shanti if you waste your time in cards and cinemas ?
When your throat is choked at the time of death, who will help you for your salvation?
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

All This Jalam, all this Juggler deeds All This Maya's Street, All This Maya's Thought
Nothing exist, nothing belongs to me, I am neither my body, immortal Self I am
Practice Ahimsa, Satyam Brahmacharya This is the foundation of Yoga Vedanta
Practice servant of Mani Asana you will have Self-realisation
Eat a little, drink a little talk a little, sleep a little
Mix a little, move a little serve a little, give a little
Cried A Little, Share a Little study a little, worship a little.
Do asana a little, pranayama a little Reflect a Little Do Vicaar a Little
