મૃત્યુ એ તો નિર્મિત છે સંસારમાં

મૃત્યુ એ તો નિર્મિત છે સંસારમાં
   નિમિત્ત એનું કંઈક ને કંઈક અપાય છે.
Mrutyu E To Niramit Chhe Saňsār-maň, 
   Nimitta Enu Kaň-ii-ka Ne Kaň-ii-ka Apāy Chhe.

સૃષ્ટિના ક્રમ અટકાવ્યા અટકે નહિ,
   બનવાનું તે સદાય બનતું જાય જો.

Srushti-nā Kram Atkāvyā Atke Nahi, 
   Banvā-nu Te Sadāy Bantu Jāy Jo.

સ્નેહ એટલું, દુઃખ હૃદયમાં લાગતું,
   દહાડા જાતા દુઃખ ને પણ ભૂલાય જો.

Sneh Etalu, Dukh Hruday-māň Lāgtuň, 
   Dahādā Jātā Dukh Ne Pan Bhulāy Jo.

‘પુનિત’ પગલાં માંડે છે જન્મ્યા પછી,
   વારા ફરતી વારો આવી જાય જો.

'Punit' Pagalā Māňde Chhe Janmyā Pachhi, 
   Vāra Farti Vāro Āvi Jāy Jo.

1. Shree Ramkabir Mandir Bhajan Mandal (playlist)

English translation (by AI):
This bhajan is a comforting spiritual reminder that death is an inevitable, pre-ordained cosmic law, urging humans to release grief, embrace detachment, and accept time's healing. The poetic translation below captures both the rhythmic beauty and the deep spiritual essence of the original:

In this mortal world, death is forever destined,
Yet a passing cause or excuse is always assigned.

The wheel of creation never stops, try as you may,
What is meant to happen will always find its way.

Deeply we love, so the heart grieves and weeps,
Yet time heals the sorrow that memory keeps.

'Punit' says, we all walk from the day of our birth,
Waiting for our turn to leave this transient earth.

…
This bhajan, composed by the revered Gujarati saint Punit Maharaj, is a profound meditation on the nature of mortality, detachment (Vairagya), and the cosmic order (Rta).

Here is the deep spiritual essence of the verses:

1. The Illusion of Immediate Cause (Nimitta vs. Nirmita)

• The Worldly View: When someone passes away, humans focus entirely on the physical trigger—an illness, an accident, or old age. This is the Nimitta (the worldly excuse or catalyst).
• The Spiritual Truth: The bhajan explains that death is actually Nirmita—pre-ordained and woven into the very fabric of cosmic law. The physical cause is merely a formality that the universe uses to execute its timeline. Realizing this helps a seeker move past blame or anger regarding how someone died.

2. Surrender to the Cosmic Flow (Srishti no Kram)

• The universe operates on an unstoppable divine rhythm of creation, preservation, and dissolution.
• Spiritual evolution requires accepting that the human ego cannot halt or alter this grand design. Suffering arises from resisting this flow; peace comes from total surrender (Sharanagati) to the inevitable laws of nature.

3. The Transience of Worldly Attachment (Moha and Time)

• The bhajan acknowledges that grief is a direct byproduct of human attachment (Sneha).
• However, it highlights Time as a manifestation of divine grace. The fact that intense grief fades over time is proof of the temporary nature of worldly emotions. It reminds the seeker that if grief is not permanent, the worldly bonds we cling to are not permanent either.

4. Life as a Pilgrimage and a Queue (Vara Farati Varo)

• The phrase ‘Punit’ pagla maande chhe implies that from the very first breath a newborn takes, they are actually walking toward their final departure.
• The spiritual essence here is mindfulness of mortality. Life is presented as a spiritual queue where everyone is simply waiting for their turn (Varo). Remembering this truth destroys pride, humbles the ego, and urges the seeker to utilize their limited time for higher spiritual pursuits rather than getting lost in material illusions.

Key Takeaways

• Accept the Inevitable: Death is a certainty governed by cosmic law, not an accidental mishap.
• Release Blame: Physical causes are just worldly excuses; do not harbor anger toward the circumstances of loss.
• Surrender Control: Human desire cannot pause or alter the grand design and rhythm of the universe.
• Understand Grief: Emotional pain is a reflection of human attachment, not a permanent state of the soul.
• Trust Time’s Healing: Divine grace is woven into time, which naturally diminishes the sharpest sorrows.
• Live Consciously: Every step taken since birth is a step toward departure; use your limited time wisely.
• Erase Ego: Remembering that everyone is waiting in the same cosmic queue humbles pride and fosters equality.
