Every one has a way to look at life and live its mystery. I see and want to live like what Mirabai, a mystical poetess, says to live like. She wrote a poem in Gujarati called “Ram Rakhe tem rahiye” (Let live the way the Lord keeps us). The interpretation of which is as followed but understand that it is an “interpretation” and not actual wordy translation because the original version was written in deep love toward Lord Krisha and not my all my friends are direct devotee of Lord Krishna.
Let’s live how the Lord keeps us, let’s live the way it is,
Let’s live the bright days with jewels to wear,
also, live the dark days with simple to wear.
Let’s live the bright days with sweets and fries to eat,
also, live the dark days with nothing to eat.
Let’s live the bright days with palace to stay,
also, live the dark days with jungles to stay.
Let’s live the bright days with bed and pillow,
also, live the dark days with earth as a bed.
Let’s bear with what life has kept for us as tastes of life.
