Since morning I have been humming 'Pasaydan' and so I decided to write about it here.
I remember you reading Dnyaneshwari in your last days, a commentary on Bhagwad Gita written by Marathi saint and poet Sant Dnyaneshwar in the 13th century. There were a lot of teachings you shared with me when I visited you in Pune.
Aai introduced me to the poem 'Pasayadan' which is written at the end of Dnyaneshwari and its rendition by Lata is beautiful. The composition set to music by Hridaynath Mangeshkar is aptly set in rag Bhairavi!
Through this poem Sant Dynaneshwar has asked for the welfare of the entire universe, as blessings!
Cruelty should be replaced with kindness and good will, light should replace darkness. Every being should be a friend to one another, and should get what it desires and deserves! The belief in divine powers should strengthen and spread goodwill.
Goodness should prevail unblemished like the sun and the moon.
Those who read and follow the teachings of Dnyaneshwari will always be the winnners!
आता विश्वात्मकें देवें । येणे वाग्यज्ञें तोषावें ।
तोषोनिं मज ज्ञावे । पसायदान हें ॥
जें खळांची व्यंकटी सांडो । तया सत्कर्मी- रती वाढो ।
भूतां परस्परे पडो । मैत्र जीवाचें ॥
दुरितांचे तिमिर जावो । विश्व स्वधर्म सूर्यें पाहो ।
जो जे वांच्छिल तो तें लाहो । प्राणिजात ॥
वर्षत सकळ मंगळी । ईश्वरनिष्ठांची मांदियाळी ।
अनवरत भूमंडळी । भेटतु भूतां ॥
चलां कल्पतरूंचे आरव । चेतना चिंतामणींचें गाव ।
बोलते जे अर्णव । पीयूषाचे ॥
चंद्र्मे जे अलांछ्न । मार्तंड जे तापहीन ।
ते सर्वांही सदा सज्जन । सोयरे होतु ॥
किंबहुना सर्व सुखी । पूर्ण होऊनि तिन्हीं लोकी ।
भजिजो आदिपुरुखी । अखंडित ॥
आणि ग्रंथोपजीविये । विशेषीं लोकीं इयें ।
दृष्टादृष्ट विजयें । होआवे जी ।
येथ म्हणे श्री विश्वेशराओ । हा होईल दान पसावो ।
येणें वरें ज्ञानदेवो । सुखिया जाला ॥
