Gyaan ghatay moodh ki sangat - Knowledge decreases in company of ignorants

Gyaan ghatay Nar moodh ki Sangat 

Dhyaan ghatay Vishayan Bharmaye  

Tej ghatay bahu krodh kiye

Sukh chain ghatay eerkha urjhaye

Lobh aavay to Moh ghat jaavay

Mitra ghaten Nij-Mahima gaaye

Aayu ghatay anuchit bhojan syon 

Buddhi ghatay bin Padhay-Padhaaye

Aalas syon Vyopaar ghatay

Abhiman ghatay Santaap kay aaye

Prem ghatay nit hee kuchh maangat

Maan ghatay nit par ghar jaaye

                         2

Dhan syon dukh-daridra mitay aur 

Rog mitay kuchh aushadhi khaay

Timir mitay jab Deep jalay - 

Sab Vair miten jab Matsar jaaye

Brahm milay to Bhram miten

Sab paap katen Hari naam dhyaaaye

Santushti say Lobh mitay - 

Abhiman mitay jab Gyan dridhaaye

Kahay 'Rajan' Sukh- Chain milay 

Jab chhod anek ik syon chit laaye

               "Rajan Sachdeva"

Even good friends abandon them if one keeps singing one's own praises all the time.

Says Rajan - One can achieve happiness and peace by focusing and concentrating on One - instead of many. 

Our mind usually wanders in all directions - 

we want to own every desirable object we see in the world around us. 

However, it's not possible to get everything we want, and we become sad when things do not happen the way we want them to. 

When we meditate upon the One Almighty Lord - our mind stops to wander. 

It becomes sturdy and stable. 

Many unnecessary desires and longings are eliminated - and we can achieve more peace and happiness in life.
