explanation of bhajan HAT CHOR MANA
Consciousness calls the mind to abandon stubbornness and discover the inner Self. The conscious principle within instructs the wandering mind to cease its laziness and external pursuits. True happiness is not found in the changing world but within, by turning inward. One should always seek the Master's presence to remove doubts, mentally connecting beyond physical distance. The body is a case of five elements housing the true Self, the divine swan. Worldly attachments, including family, cannot grant Self-knowledge and instead deepen worldly bondage. Forgetting God for material gain or greed leads to suffering and falsehood. Awaken from ignorance to realize the endless, formless reality already within you.
"Give up your haṭha (stubborn self-will). Come with me, and I will show you the secret of the Ātmā."
"O my mind, give up the haṭha and come with me. I will show you the Ātmā."
