भाग मत !! तू कर प्रयास !!! Don't run away ! Never Give Up !!!

The truest, selfless and the one living up for the greater causes of life (सत्य  एवं  ज्ञान  ही हैं लक्ष्य) , do face invincible challenges and grave circumstances, which seem to shake their faith and belief in the truthful principles. Then...they sing the poems below. They never give up the broad goal and mission of their life:



असफलता घेरे जब , मार्ग हों अवरुद्ध !

(Fraught with failures and devoid of any path)

पास न हो धन तेरे, और कार हों अपार !!

(No money but a lot of works to accomplish)

तो  भाग मत ! भाग मत ! तू कर प्रयास !!!

(Give up not, never give up, just make efforts !)

कर प्रयास ! तू भाग मत !!!

हार में ही जीत है , रात में ही दिन ,

 (See in failure the victory, in night the day)

निकलेगा सूरज एक दिन, दूर क्षितिज पार !!!

(For sure, the sun will arise... away on the horizon)

भाग  मत, तू कर प्रयास......Never give Up, Just make efforts...

पीड़ा ही सुख है !!! सुख ही है पीड़ा !

(Agony becomes happiness, and happiness becomes pain)

सुख ही है पीड़ा, पीड़ा ही है सुख !!! 

(for strivers failures, success, joy and pain loose their usual meanings)

हार ही जीत है , जीत ही है हार !!!

(Fialure becomes victory and victories are failures)

भाग मत, तू कर प्रयास....

Never give up oh striver but make efforts.....

Father of Vishnu (vishnu was later known as Chaanakya / Kautilya) was Chanak, who died after leaving the following words for his son to live up : भाग मत , कर प्रयास !!! ...
It shows that a true leader and visinary can not limit himself in individual and family cocoons. सच्चा नायक कभी भी परिवार, धन तथा निजी व पारिवारिक सुख में आबद्ध नहीं हो सकता !  वो अपने परिवार व बच्चों को भी सिखाते हैं  -
 जब हम अपनी पीड़ा सहन करते हैं तो हमारा बल बढ़ता है । लेकिन जब हम दूसरों की पीढा सहन करते हैं तो हमारा आत्म बल बढ़ता है !

This episode of serial chandragupta maurya is not full of action but is very valuable. Chanakya lost all his confidence after the defeat, after reaching so close to his goal. Then the above words from his father's poem sung by Chandragupta made him revive his confidence. It reminds me of a few lines of poem, which my father used to utter to us:-

फूलों की माला में आगे !

 (Forward in receiving garlands)

शूलों  की माला से भागे !!

 (you run away from thorns and dificulties)

सह न सकोगे छाले ?

(What ?) you can not even tolerate blisters ???)

राही !!!! तुम कैसे मतवाले ???

 ( oh traveller, then, what kind of a striver or companion you are???)

राही !!!! तुम कैसे मतवाले ???

The other things to learn from this episode are:

• सच्चा नायक कभी भी अपनी त्रुटियों  व असफलताओं की स्वीकृति से से मुख नहीं मोड़ सकता ! True captain never hesitates in accepting his errors and failures.
• सच्चा नायक कभी भी अपनी ज़िम्मेदारी उनके प्रति जिन्होने उस पर विश्वास कर अपना सब कुछ उस के एक इशारे पर अर्पण किया है, विमुख नहीं हो सकता ! True captain is always aware of his reponsibilities especially towards his followers who put in his all belief in him.
• नायक कभी भी, अपने लक्ष्य से विमुख नहीं होता ! छोटी उपलब्धियां उसे संतुष्ट नहीं कर सकतीं ! संपूर्ण लक्ष्य मात्र समग्र लक्ष्य ही उसके जीवन का एक मात्र अर्थ बन जाता है ! 'No partial achievements but his Goal in toto' can only make him happy.
