Meri Bhavana - Jain Song

Jisne rāga dveşa kāmādika jīte saba jaga jāna liyā

Saba jīvo ko Moksa mārga kā nisprha ho updeśa divā

Buddha Vira Hari Har Brhamā yā usko svādhina kaho

Bhaktibhāva se prerita ho yā citta usī men lina raho || 1 ||

He, who has destroyed or subdued his attachment, aversion, desires and had understood the reality of this universe; who delivers the sermons to everybody about the path of spiritual purification and attaining liberation; who may be called by different names such as Buddha, Vira, Hari, Hara and Brahma or the self soul; Imbued with devotion in Him, may this mind be eternally engrossed in Him.

Vişayo ki āśā nahi jinake sāmya bhāva dhana rakhate hen

Nija para ke hita sādhana me nisa din tatpara rahate hen

Svārtha tyaga ki kathina tapasyā binā kheda jo karate heń

Ese jñānī sādhu jagat ke dukhah samuha ko harate hen || 2 ||

They, who have overcome the desire for sensual pleasures and maintain the state of equanimity; they are engrossed everyday in the welfare of others as well as their own; they practice the hard penance of selflessness, such knowledgeable ascetics (they) conquer /overcome the pains of mundane worldly existence.

Rahe sadāsatsanga unhī kā dhyāna unhīkā nitya rahe

Unhi jaisī caryā men yaha citta sadā anurakta rahe

Nahi satāu kisi jīva ko jhuta kabhi nahi kahā karun

Paradhana vanitä para na lubhāun santośāmrta piyā karūn || 3 ||

May I always associate with such holy ascetics; may my mind be occupied in their life style; may I never cause pain to any living being nor tell a lie at any time; may I never be attracted towards the wealth or women of others and hence feel contented all the time.

Ahankāra kā bhāva na rakkhu nahi kisi para krodha karun

Dekha dusro ki bathtī ko kabhi na īrşā bhāva dharūn

Rahe bhāvanā esi meri sarala satya vyavahāra karun

Bane jahā taka esa jīvana meń auro kā upakāra karūń || 4 ||

May I never a feeling of ego / pride nor get angry with anyone; May I never feel envious / jealous on seeing the progress of any one; May I develop a balance, straight and simple, fair and honest feeling towards all; may I be good in my behavior towards all to the utmost level of my capabilities.

Maitri bhāva jagata men merā saba jīvo se nitya rahe

Dīna dukhi jīvo para mere ura se Karūņā stotra bahe

Durjana krūra kūmārgarato pera kşobha nahi mujha ko āve

Sāmyabhāva rakhun men una para esī parinatīho jāve || 5 ||

May I always maintain a feeling of friendship towards all living beings; May the spring of compassion always flow for those who are in pain and are suffering; May I never get angry with those who are bad cruel and wrongly directed people; May I maintain a sense o equanimity while dealing with such persons.

Gūņi jano ko dekha hrdaya men mere prema umada āve

Bane jahā taka unaki sevā karake yaha mana sūkha pāve

Houn nahi krataghna kabhi main droha na mere ura āve

Gūņa grahaņa kā bhāva rahe nita drsti na doşo para jāve || 6 ||

May my heart overflow with love at the very sight of virtuous people; May I derive pleasure and happiness in serving these people as much as possible; May I never become ungrateful nor feel jealous of any one; May my longing be always for assimilating the virtues of others and never look at their vices.

Koi būrā kaho yā ācchā lakşami āve yā jāve

Lakho varso taka jiun yā mrtyū āja hi ājāve

Athavā koi kaisa bhi bhaya yā lālaca dene āve

To bhi nyāya mārga se merā kabhi na paga digane pāve || 7 ||

Whether people speak good or ill of me or the wealth comes to me or leaves me, whether I live for thousands years or die even today; whether anyone allures me with worldly riches or scares me in any way; I pray that I do not leave the path of just in any of the these situations.

Hokara sūkha meń magana na fule dūkha men kabhi na ghabarāve

Parvata nadi samaşāna bhayānaka atavi se na bhaya khāve

Rahe adola akampa nirantara yaha mana draphatara bana jāve

Ista viyoga inaista yoga men sahana silata dhikhalave || 8 ||

May my mind neither be overwhelmed with happiness on having comforts nor become worried on having pains; May I never be scared of the sight of dangerous mountains, river, pyres in the cremation grounds; May it become calm, composed continuously and become stronger and stronger; May I display / experience tolerance in favorable or unfavorable situations alike.

Sukhi rahe saba jiva jagata ke koi kabhi na ghabarave

Baira papa abhimana coda jaga nitya naye mangala gave

Ghara ghara carca rahe dharma ki duskrata duskara ho jave

Jnana caritra unnata kara apna manuja janma fala saba pave || 9 ||

May the happiness be the lot of all and nobody distress never bother anyone; May ever one experience auspicious feelings every day by giving up animosity, sins and pride/ego; May the discussions of religious exist in all households and the inauspicious events be destroyed; My every one realize the highest attainment of life by enhancing their wisdom and conduct.

Iiti bhiti vyape nahi jaga men vrsti samaya para hua kare

Dhamanistha hokara raja bhi nyaya praja ka kiya kare

Roga mari durbhiksa na faile praja santi se jiya kare

Param Ahinsa dharma jagata men faila sarvahita kiya kare || 10 ||

May distress and suffering no longer exist and may it rain on time; May the king be righteously inclined and do justice to all his subjects; May the diseases, epidemics and famine cease to spread and exist; May Ahinsa pervade the entire universe and bring benevolence to all'

Faile prema parapara jaga men moha dura para raha kare

Apriya katuka kathora sabda nahi koi mukha se kaha kare

Banakara saba yuga-vira hrdaya se desonnati rata raha kare

Vastu svarupa vicara khusi se saba dukha sankata saha kare. || 11 ||

May mutual love spread throughout the world and delusion stay at a distance from all; May no one use harsh, bitter and unpleasant words from their mouths; May everyone become the hero of his time and work for the progress of his country; May all understand the true nature of entities / substances and hence become tolerant of all sorts of pains inflicted.

Essence of Meri Bhavana - English (Rap Song)

Lyrics

Yeah... look... Turn the headphones up a little bit

No ego, no greed... just pure vision. Listen...

Shout out to the masters who defeated the rage

Turned the tables on the lust, put the hate in a cage

They decoded the cosmos, got a view from the stage

And they gave the blueprint out on every single page

Buddha, Mahavira, call ’em whatever you choose

The name doesn't matter when you’re shedding the blues

I’m aligning my mind with the ultimate source

Unshakable focus, staying locked on the course.

Let peace and love ignite the soul, 

We gotta heal the hurt and make the broken whole

Yeah, we gotta check the ego, 

let the spirit take control, Let peace and love ignite the soul.

They ain't chasing the clout, they ain't chasing the chain

They don’t care about the fame or the temporary gain

They just out here in the trenches trying to navigate pain

Keeping cool in the fire, keeping calm in the rain

Selfless with the sacrifice, they never complain

Taking burdens off the weak just to break up the chain

That’s a real-life saint, yeah, the highest degree

Living proof of the truth of what we’re supposed to be.

Let peace and love ignite the soul, 

We gotta heal the hurt and make the broken whole

Yeah, we gotta check the ego, 

let the spirit take control, Let peace and love ignite the soul.

I wanna walk with the wise, match the print of their shoe

Never causing a wound, keeping everything true

Keep the lies off my tongue, keep the greed out my eyes

No counterfeit living, no need for disguise

I'm drinking down the contentment, standard is set

Giving back to the needy with no room for regret

I won't envy your come-up, won't hate on your wins

I'm just purging my heart where the honesty begins.

Universal connection, that's the bond that I vibe

Every living creature, yeah, the whole entire tribe

Flowing with compassion when the world is looking grim

Even when they act up, I ain't trippin' on them

Keep the temper on ice, keep the soul on straight

We replacing the bitter with something that's great.

So you can praise my name, or you can drag it in the dirt

You can pass me a million, or leave me alert

I could die right now, or live a thousand more years

Ain't no threat or temptation gonna trigger my fears

Can't sway my steps, I'm cemented in the right

Moving through the shadows, but I'm standing in the light.

Yeah, looking at the mirror, making sure the vision's clear

Bringing peace to the pavement, eliminating fear.

Let peace and love ignite the soul, 

We gotta heal the hurt and make the broken whole

Yeah, we gotta check the ego, 

let the spirit take control, Let peace and love ignite the soul.

Prayers up for the globe, let the misery cease

Drop the weapons, drop the pride, let 'em look for the peace

Let the mercy spread wide, let the family grow

Yeah... make us whole.
