Prem Rawat: What Is Your Home? Settlement video
"Edited to an event of Prem Rawat, revered by many as Maharaji, speaking in India, this bhajan is sung by long time Bollywood and classical singer Suresh Wadekar. Boldly, the bhajan questions the listener to contemplate where his or her true home is. The lyricist uses the metaphor ghar, which translated in English means house, residence and or settlement, which in this video Maharaji indicates to as home, which he claims is within each person."
What is your home? Wherever you may go, which ever journey you go on
someone goes somewhere; others go elsewhere but everyone returns to their homes
look at it at, dawn people leave their homes and there are traffic jams
some are going to school, some to their office
some are doing something; some are coming out to do something
and towards the afternoon, in the evening
everyone heads home
likewise within you is your home, the world will wander, whoever is saying to you "this world will get better" is lying to you, because it can't be
In the past 20 years a huge new Indian middle class of 250 million people has developed. This world has certainly got better for them.
Why? the world's job is to tangle but in your world within, there is no ambiguity
Song: say o' fool, where is your home, think where your home is, who are you? from where have you come? why are you going in circles? when you depart this world, where will your settlement be o' fool, say o' fool, where is your home, think where your home is
the aura of light within you; is the ultimate abode, that is your home, delusioned you have become because of ignorance, when you depart this world, where will your settlement be o' fool, say o' fool, where is your home, think where your home is
one who doesn't know of his home won't he always be lost? he will always be lost and what do you think? there are so many in this world who are lost
stumbling here and there, thinking now I have come home; now I have come home now I have come home and having to knock on all doors questioning is this my home?
and upon someone else opening the door, apologising … sorry this isn't my home, this is what people are ending up doing, going to others' places
this is what the Sages have said that people are going to these pilgrimages hoping to find there, and there, and there
your home is within you and Knowledge (gyan) takes you there
Song: the Creator's name dear friend, is your true wealth, ignorant if you remain of its secrecy, hell will enclose you, when you depart this world, where will your settlement be o' fool, say o' fool where is your home, think where your home is
this world that is, in it I'm a traveller, this isn't my home, this isn't my home, this house is too small
my house is so gigantic (applause), my house is so gigantic, that there is neither a start to it nor is there an end to it, that is how gigantic my house is
and this is my home, within me is my home
Song: when you depart this world, when you depart this world, where will your settlement be o' fool, say o' fool where is your home, think where your home is
