Sanedo...

Couple of years back I used to hate Sanedo,
a year or little more I used to enjoy but dislike Sanedo;
everything change few days back,
now I not just enjoy but love Sanedo.

Q: What brought this transformation?
Ans: Moved by Love, ' start-up services' retreat.

On very first day, first thing I heard after silent walk, welcoming greetings and soothing music. A word 'Sanedo' and how joyful it is. I said to myself, uff! Sanedo is here too, I don't like it. But when they explained origin and its meaning. Everything started moving and changing. Whole position got changed and I reached to extreme.

What is the meaning of sanedo?
The original pronunciation and word is snehdo(Gujarati: સ્નેહડો), derived from the word sneh (Gujarati: સ્નેહ), meaning love or affection. Sanedo contains couplets of four lines and has a striking resemblance to bhavai, a folk drama form from Gujarat.

I played[danced] on sanedo for thrice during retreat and effect it had was amazing. more than that tune was accompanying me till now. In such state some words were scribbled down and a new sanedo has been formed. 

let's go for snehdo...

આ નાણું મારું, બધા ગાતા આ ગાણું;
આ નાણું મારું, પાડે મોટું કાણુ;
એક ટંકના ભાણા હારું, ભાન ભુલાવે સાલું લાલ સનેડો.. સનેડો સનેડો નાણાનો સનેડો... સનેડો સનેડો

ખાણ ખોદી, ડુંગર ખડકે; માલ લાદી, જગતે ભટકે;
વાદી ભેદી જાતને કટકે, નાણા હારું જાતને પટકે.... પોતે ખોદેલી ખાણમાં... સનેડો.. નાણાનો સનેડો... સનેડો સનેડો સનેડો લાલ સનેડો

ગર્તાની નીરાશામાં, શીખરોની આશામાં,
નાણું વ્હાવે એ નાણામાં.. વ્હાણ ચલાવવાં સાગરમાં લાલ સનેડો..સનેડો.. નાણાનો સનેડો... સનેડો સનેડો સનેડો લાલ સનેડો

મુલ્ય સમજી, મુળમાં રહે; જગત જગદીશ દિલમાં રહે;
મર્મ સાથે કર્મ કરી, ફુલ-ફળ સર્વે વેરે...
નાણા ને તે નાથી લે... નાણું તેનું સાથી રે લાલ સનેડો... સનેડો.. નાણાનો સનેડો... સનેડો સનેડો સનેડો લાલ સનેડો

Translation [not word to word]
this money is mine, everyone is singing this song
this money is mine, makes big big hole
for one time of food, it makes us forget our self ... sanedo

by digging mines, it creates mountain;
imposing goods on back, it roams everywhere in world;
with isms, secrets, self divide.. it throws away self into mine for want of money... sanedo..






In deep depression of loss, to hope of reaching at top of mountain,
 spending money in a drainage[channel], to move the ship in sea... sanedo

understanding true value, who remains in root,
who keeps world and lord in his/her heart;
does all action with right attitude/understanding and gives fruits and flowers everywhere...
such human is able to kill menace of money. and money becomes true friend of those... sanedoo.

Junglee

After spending three hours in jungle, I felt I am junglee.

I want to sing aloud,

याहू!
चाहे कोई मुझे जंगली कहे
कहने दो जी कहता रहे
हम प्यार के तूफ़ानों में घिरे हैं
हम क्या करें
याहू!

मेरे सीने में भी दिल है, हैं मेरे भी कुछ अरमान
मुझे पत्थर तो न समझो, मैं हूँ आख़िर एक इन्सान
राह मेरी वही, जिसपे दुनिया चली
चाहे कोई मुझे …

एक मुद्दत से ये तूफ़ाँ मेरे सीने में थे बेचैन
क्या छुपाऊँ, क्या छुपा है, जब मिलते हैं नैन से नैन
सब्र कैसे करूँ, क्यूँ किसीसे डरूँ
चाहे कोई मुझे …

सर्द आहें कह रही हैं, है ये कैसी बला की आग
सोते-सोते ज़िंदगानी घबराके उठी है जाग
मैं यहाँ से वहाँ, जैसे ये आसमाँ
चाहे कोई मुझे …

Even though song has been filmed as romantic and depicts romanticized Hero in its attempt to make heroine his.

Yet words are such that it moves above romantic and moving towards True Love.

few lines are perfectly telling what I want to share.

first loudly want to say, Yahoooooo....

चाहे कोई मुझे जंगली कहे - Yes, as person living in India been called Indian, in America called American and so on.. similarly why not person living in Jungle be called Junglee.. Whether jungle is natural or artificial (concrete).

हम प्यार के तूफ़ानों में घिरे हैं - Always surrounded in torrent of love.. love synonyms of Supreme, Divine.

actually each line has impact and a story... so rather than deciphering each and every line...

coming to last one..

सोते-सोते ज़िंदगानी घबराके उठी है जाग - Remove this line from the song and read aloud. So far I was sleeping, this whole life was sleeping and now it has awaken as fear has smashed me so hard. Fear of loosing my true self, getting corrupt, loosing friendship with myself. I do not want to submit and live in a rut. I don't want to be part of rat race going on in concrete jungle.  

Yahoooo.. Now I have friend, I want to keep that amity alive.. within...

[watch/listen song yahoo too on youtube. While you do, for time being just listen and forget that it is romantic song but plain listening and find what emotions it evokes in you? what kind of thoughts comes?

Today Taught me: 20-11-2015

Journey continues in cyclic order...



How?



Yesterday's Ideas and thoughts, generally known as 'plan' requires an action for materialization. This plan emerges out from the action taken during yesterday and previous entity of time called history, whose ideas and thoughts were seeded in previous days and history.

Today begins with execution of those plan while continuing routine work. This is where we live, as action takes place more ideas, more thoughts, more desire, more & more are generated. which becomes a seed. Seed of power, concealing within future realization. A plan for better tomorrow, of growth and evolution are there in seed.

Tomorrow remains mystry, depends how we execute, channelized those plans into action. How and where plan leads to action? How action leads to another action? Whether one is attune in a process or not? doing it consciously or just action after action? Thus mystery continues...


This cycle of history - presence - mystery goes on.


For me today, 20-11-2015 began with a conscious action of executing plan from yesterday. There was a flow, from one action emerging of plan/idea of next action. Pre-sensing them and action on it makes cycle of action moving. problem also comes and so does it solutions. one thing leads to another, good gets transformed into better with possibility of becoming best.


But what have I learned from one round of wheel, completing a circle.


1- Do not Hesitate in doing/asking something. If questions or action has emerged out from previous action and you have sensed it in present. Why? not doing/asking may leave an element of doubt, regret of not doing/asking and may left out something important for flow of cycle.


Overcoming our initial or any level of hesitation brings freedom and joy. Today, hesitation meet and dissolved into past. rate of overcoming them was more and for that grateful of the parampriya.


2 - Do not Haste. As idea/plan seizes in our mind and we start action on that line. Our efforts brings more energy, more joy. In this rushing gust of energy, we want to do everything in no time. we loose control from energy, forces become uncontrollable when we meet to factors whose control is not in our hand. We Factors which are in control or part of another system. we start felling uncomfortable, we want to realize result fast, to eat fruits of success. In such time, we become furious, we want to hasten the process. We ignore the time factor and factors associated with other system and process on which we are working. Yes, we become impatient.


Today, I was able to sense those moment, taken a pause and patiently work. Even few work remain incomplete. work remaining incomplete is fine. Things not done today will be done tomorrow. With patience, courage and trust moving on the path makes life more beautiful.


3 - Beware of Hype. Moving along we meet certain events, people, places, activities and stories. Some of them puts an impression of perfection, beauty and success. We also want to be part and be there. Our this desire for perfection, beauty and success enlarges the impression of those events, people, places, activities and stories. Creating a hype in mind, in heart. We quickly want to make this a part of our life cycle. We start envisaging plans for incorporating them, dream of actions and results it will bring in life.

Beware!



Don't get dragged into that hype.



Take a pause and observe.

You will soon realize it is just another bubble. which is becoming a froth in mind and in heart. Does that last for longer?



Yes, that's why taking a pause and observing them. Patience, working calmly, sensing current needs and future possibility, acting on them instantly.

 Integral Learning, adaptive learning continues...

 

Today taught me : 19-11-2015

Looking back on time today...

I wonder what today has taught me.


First of all, there came a question on time itself.

Whether time is a Physical quantity or Psychological entity?


I walked little further and message on reflection, taking life as a mirror came in...

and for few consecutive steps, I met to similar messages.


Journey continued with cluttered work of few sharing, posting and promoting..


In midst a call came and went without notice.

Reflecting upon that, mind says - mobile is for use mainly to communicate from anywhere,specially while traveling. No one has told, what should be done of mobile when at home?

and How does it sounds to carry mobile everywhere in home?

let mind get stop here only, before it starts on other trek..


Even though I missed the ring of call but call made something ringing within.

Rest of time till now, went behind working on those tune. Following rhythm of ideas a creation is on its verge. few distracting trek came and gone, just following beats and hitting right chords makes things simple and creative creation emerges out. Completely unplanned yet at every step planning of next work emerges out and rather thinking & creating & drafting a plan. What is required is from that emerging plan, straight away move into the action.



This requires lots of faith on source from where all this emerges out. A gratitude when it begins, during its continuous or discontinuous process and at end. Also leaving results also for that emerging rather than hunting for immediate. Life springs forth with its peace and harmony.


At the end gratitude at the lotus feet of the divine.

chappa part -2

નામ તારા હજાર કીધા, 
હજારો એના જાપ કીધા;
દિલથી ના નીકળ્યા તો ગોખી કીધા,
નિત - નવીન ક્રમ જાળવી કીધા,
સત નહિ ગુણોના ધ્યાન કીધા,
જે ચાહ્યું એ પામ્યું, દુખડા કરોડ કીધા.

Gratitude @ The Lotus feet of Parampriya

ધન્ય ધન્ય ઓ પ્યારા પ્રભુ

વંદનીય સ્મરણીય  ઓ પ્યારા પ્રભુ
ધન્ય ધન્ય....

આકાશે-પાતાળે, શૂન્યથી મનુષ્ય સુધી,
સર્વ - સર્વત્ર, ઓ પ્યારા પ્રભુ
ધન્ય ધન્ય....

વેદ તું વાણી તું, પવન ને પાણી તું,
જીવ સજીવ ને શીવ તું, ઓ પ્યારા પ્રભુ  

ધન્ય ધન્ય....

  

Offering at the Lotus feet of the Parampriya,

Grateful to live in there presence. I pray that presence of love and peace remain forever in times of smooth sailing as well as in time of sailing through catastrophe.

Above verse has impression of arvachin [ancient] gujarati sahitya [literature]. In fact one line is almost copy [from narsinh mehta's bhajan]. Not in defence, yet I want to say that 'whatever came during those intense moment of gratitude, I wrote it down. It contains those feelings which comes up spontaneously from heart and mind gives them form whatever available. Mind doesn't go in search and have to work on finding words and correct structure. In a way this is very rough, uncut draft of what is within as well as its uncut manifestation.'

Written somewhere between 4 - 10 January 2009. During my first visit to Home, pondicherry. Written in morning time, at samarpan lounge, where we were staying during national youth camp.

feeling blessed now and again & again of coming into their presence and living in it. Thank you maa, for enabling to share it today.
