🌸 English Meaning
Why should I feel poor? Why should I feel like a lost stranger?
O Lord Hari, the treasure of wealth, as long as You are with me, I am rich.
You are the parents who gave me life and my dearest friend.
You are my relative and my entire community.
You are the precious jewels kept safely in my chest.
O supreme Lord Krishna, I lack nothing as long as You are there.
You are my sibling and the one who feeds me.
You are the one who gives me clothes to wear and shelter.
You are the one who guides my family safely through life’s storms.
As long as You, my Master, protect me constantly, I am safe.
You are my teacher and the source of my wisdom.
You are my savior and my only Lord.
O beautiful Purandara Vithala, when I have surrendered at Your feet,
what is there left for me to fear?
🪔 Reflection
This beautiful song by Sri Purandaradasa carries a message that is both comforting and deeply moving. Known as the "Father of Carnatic Music," Purandaradasa was once a very wealthy merchant who gave away all his gold to become a wandering singer of God's glory. When he asks, "Why should I feel poor?", he isn't talking about money in a bank. He is talking about the richness of the soul.
In our busy lives, we often feel "poor" because we compare ourselves to others or feel lonely like a "stranger" (paradeshi) in a crowd. But this bhajan reminds us that God isn't just a distant figure in a temple; He is our mother, father, friend, and even the food on our plate. It’s a gentle reminder that we are never truly alone or unsupported. The poet shows us that true security comes from realizing that the Divine is taking care of the "big things" like our family and the "small things" like our thoughts and wisdom.
How does this idea apply to your daily life? Can you try to see the Divine's hand in the simple comforts you enjoy today? What does this verse inspire in your own spiritual journey—perhaps a little more trust and a little less worry? When we realize we belong to Him, fear simply has no place to stay. May you feel that divine companionship in every step you take today.
