O Man - do you have contentment even for a moment?
Since you are searching here and there for temporary sensual pleasure, do you have any contentment?
Paramaartha tattvangal ariyaathe maayathan
niyalinte pinbe bhramicchu chaadi
Eriyunna thee kanda shalabham kanakke oru
phalavumillathadangunnu
Without knowing the supreme truth, you are deluded by running behind the objects of Maya like a person running behind a shadow
Your life becomes of no use like the shalabha (firefly) which sees burning fire and since it is attractive, jumps unto it and gives up its life for nothing
Krimiyaayi puzhuvaayi izhayunna janthukkal
palathaayi paravakal mrigavumaayi
Kramamaay uyarnnuyarnaatmaanubhuthithan
narajanmamaarjicchathenthinnu nee
You have become bacteria, worms and crawling creatures like birds, animals etc.
Slowly and gradually progressing from one creature to another, you have attained this human birth in order to get realization of the Atman
Athinalla manujante vila eridum janmam
athinundoravakaasham athinu vendi
Abhimaana dhanadhaara bhogam vedinju nee
harihara parabrahma bhajanam cheythallaaykil
The valuable human life is not to just go behind worldly pleasures but for realization of the Atman
The life will be futile if you don't give you ego with respect to objects/people, give up sensual pleasures and seek ParaBrahman through bhajan and surrender
