Everyone has a purpose in life. Being born, growing up, getting an education, finding a job, getting married, having a child and seeing your child go through similar processes are only a small part of our purpose in life. They may even stand in the way of us seeing our real purpose in life from time to time.
Realization of one's own purpose in life is only possible with enlightenment. Asking critical questions such as who am I, why am I here and what am I trying to do and trying to find answers to these starts to bring people to the essence of life.
In fact, man's quest is nothing but immortality, but everyone's method is different. In the mystical eastern philosophies, man's search and finding immortality is only possible with the discovery of the divine being. This divine being or divine essence is also hidden in man's own heart, and those who find the god in their own heart begin to become immortal. This process is a mystical maturation process, also called perfection. The matured man begins to turn into a fruitful tree and nourishes humanity.
In the piece you will listen to in the video, this type of mystical enlightenment process is explained and the search for human is emphasized. There is a lot of advice on what behaviors one should do in order to mature. The words of the poem belong to a folk poet named Turabi who lived about 300 years ago. His composition is anonymous. It was quite difficult to translate into English as the poem is in an old language, but I tried to do it as much as possible. At least, I think it is important for people to understand a little of the messages in the work.
Hope to see you again, stay with the music.
Lyrics;
Salma tongue ship in love with humility
There are no tributes in Erenler cem
Do not reveal the secret of truth everywhere
There is no soul to realize this.
Do not describe the state of the mature person
Stay away from the legendary words
Where is your miracle
Ali is many, his king is not found
Turabi we are in the world, vagrant
Didn't notice the secret of the truth
No one knows about anyone
There is no such strange time

Another cover for same song by Sabahat Akkiraz:
Herkesin hayata gelmesinin bir amacı vardır. Doğmak, büyümek, eğitim almak, iş bulmak, evlenmek, çocuk sahibi olmak ve çocuğunuzun benzer süreçlerden geçtiğini görmek yaşama gayemizin yalnızca çok küçük bir kısmını oluşturur. Hatta bunlar zaman zaman gerçek yaşama gayemizi görmemizin önünde engel olarak bile durabilirler.
İnsanın kendi yaşama gayesini farketmesi ancak aydınlanma ile olur. Ben kimim, neden buradayım ve ne yapmaya çalışıyorum gibi kritik soruları kendi benliğine sorması ve bunlara cevaplar aramaya çalışması insanı yaşamaın özüne taşımaya başlar.
Aslında insanın arayışı ölümsüz olmaktan başka birşey değildir fakat herkesin yöntemi farklıdır. Mistik doğu felsefelerinde insanın arayışı ve ölümsüzlüğü bulması ancak tanrısal varlığın keşfiyle mümkündür. Bu tanrısal varlık veya tanrısal öz de insanın kendi kalbinde gizlidir ve kendi kalbindeki tanrıyı bulanlar ölümsüz olmaya başlarlar. Bu süreç adına kemalet de denilen mistik bir olgunlaşma sürecidir. Olgunlaşan insan meyve veren verimli bir ağaca dönmeye başlar ve insanlığı besler.
Videoda dinleyeceğiniz eserde de bu tip bir mistik aydınlanma süreci anlatılıyor ve insanın arayışına vurgu yapılıyor. İnsanın olgunlaşabilmesi için hangi davranışlarda bulunması gerektiğine dair birçok öğütte bulunuluyor. Şiirin sözleri yaklaşık 300 yıl öncesinde yaşayan Turabi isimli bir halk ozanına ait. Bestesi ise anonim. Şiir eski bir dile sahip olduğu için İngilizceye çevirmek oldukça zordu fakat mümkün olduğu kadar bunu yapmaya çalıştım. Hiç değilse eserin içindeki mesajların bir miktar anlaşılması bile insan için önemlidir diye düşünüyorum.
Tekrar görüşmek dileğiyle, müzikle kalın.
Şarkı sözleri;
Salma Dil Gemisin Engine Aşık
Erenler Ceminde Payen Bulunmaz
Her Yerde Faş Etme Sırr-ı Hakikat
Onu Fehmeyleyen Bir Can Bulunmaz
Arifin Halini Tarif Ne Hacet
Efsane Sözlerden Eyle Feragat
Hani Nerde Göster Sahip Keramet
Ali Çoktur Şah-ı Merdan Bulunmaz
Turabi Cihanda Olduk Serseri
Fehmeden Kalmamış Dürrü Gevheri
Kimsenin Kimseden Yoktur Haberi
Böyle Bir Acayip Devran Bulunmaz

Thanks a lot @music-community
I feel this is the kind of music that comes to any one in those Eureka moments. The realisation of our goals and failures show is the way to the kind of person we want to become. So nice of you to give a translation of the lyrics. Also, the skills for playing and singing are on point!
The journey of human is much longer and more difficult than our eyes can see. Thank you very much for your comment and thoughts dear @bertrayo .
Thanks for sharing this thoughtful song and singing it for us!
You're welcome. This was pleasure for me. See you again.
Until next time!
Dear @veliozdemiroglu, we need your help!
The Hivebuzz proposal already got important support from the community. However, it lost its funding a few days ago when the HBD stabilizer proposal rose above it.
May we ask you to support it so our team can continue its work?
You can do it on Peakd, Ecency,
