Bhakti Saints Pad 2 meaning
ab kaise chootai ram nam rat lagee
prabhu jee tum chandan ham panee, jakee ang ang bas samanee
अब कैसे छूटै राम नाम रट लागी।
प्रभु जी तुम चंदन हम पानी, जाकी अँग अँग बास समानी॥
Now that I'm hooked on repeating Rama's name, how could I ever stop? Lord, you are sandalwood and I am water; your fragrance has soaked into every part of me.
What it means
Water that sits with sandalwood takes on its fragrance. Spend time with what is good and it becomes part of you. Choose what you soak in, because you will start to smell of it.How it helps in real life
- With friends: You've started picking up your friends' cynical, mocking tone. Spend more evenings with the friend who's kind and curious, and notice yourself change.
- Every day: You want calmer mornings but start with news alerts. Play ten minutes of chanting or a favourite bhajan while making tea instead.
हिंदी में अर्थ
अब राम नाम की रट लग गई है, यह कैसे छूटे? प्रभु, तुम चंदन हो और मैं पानी, जिसके अंग-अंग में तुम्हारी सुगंध समा गई है।
चंदन के साथ रहकर पानी सुगंधित हो जाता है। अच्छी चीज़ों के साथ समय बिताएँ, वे आपका हिस्सा बन जाएँगी।
