Ramcharitmanas 2.93.2 meaning
ehin jag jamini jagahin jogee paramarathee prapanch biyogee
jania tabahin jeev jag jaga jab jab bishay bilas biraga
एहिं जग जामिनि जागहिं जोगी। परमारथी प्रपंच बियोगी॥
जानिअ तबहिं जीव जग जागा। जब जब बिषय बिलास बिरागा॥
In this night of the world, only yogis stay awake, those who seek the highest truth and stay free of worldly tangles. Know that a soul has truly woken up when it loses its craving for sensual pleasures.
What it means
Being 'awake' isn't about knowledge; it's about no longer being driven by every craving. Notice which desires run your days, and you begin to wake up.How it helps in real life
- Phone & habits: You open food delivery apps every night even when you're not hungry. Notice the craving, drink water, and close the app.
- With money: You add things to your cart at 1am just to feel better. Before buying, wait twenty-four hours and see if you still want them.
हिंदी में अर्थ
संसार रूपी इस रात में योगी ही जागते हैं, जो परमार्थ के खोजी हैं और प्रपंच से अलग हैं। जीव तभी जागा हुआ समझो, जब उसे विषय-भोगों से वैराग्य हो जाए।
'जागना' ज्ञान से नहीं, हर लालसा के पीछे न भागने से होता है। देखो कौन-सी इच्छाएँ तुम्हारा दिन चलाती हैं, वहीं से जागना शुरू होता है।
Spoken by Lakshmana.
