📜 Hindi

🔤 Transliteration

jisko hī saṃnyāsī kāga-viṣṭā ke samāna sukha kahte haiṃ.

💬 Translation

It is this very kind of happiness that renunciates describe as being like crow’s droppings.

More naturally in context:
Renunciates say that this kind of happiness is like crow’s droppings.

👉 The tone is strongly dismissive: this “happiness” is considered worthless, impure, and insignificant.

📚 Vocabulary

• जिसको ही (jisko hī)

• जिसको = “which / that which / what”
• ही = emphatic particle: “exactly”, “precisely”, “indeed”

➡️ जिसको ही =
“that very thing which…” / “precisely that…”

• संन्यासी (saṃnyāsī)

• renunciate
• ascetic
• monk (in the Hindu tradition)

A saṃnyāsī is someone who has renounced worldly life and attachments.

• काग (kāga)

• crow (a more literary word than कौआ – kauā)

• विष्टा (viṣṭā)

• excrement
• droppings

👉 काग-विष्टा (kāga-viṣṭā) =
“crow’s droppings”

A very strong metaphor for something:

• filthy
• worthless
• despicable

• के समान (ke samāna)

• like
• similar to
• equal to

Used for comparisons.

• सुख (sukha)

• happiness
• pleasure
• comfort

Here it refers to worldly or sensory pleasure, not spiritual bliss.

• कहते हैं (kahte haiṃ)

• say
• call
• consider

⚙️ Grammar

Core structure:

जिसको … सुख कहते हैं
= “what is called happiness”

Then qualified by:

काग-विष्टा के समान
= “like crow’s droppings”

👉 Full idea:
“What people call happiness is, according to renunciates, something as worthless as crow’s droppings.”

• Relative construction: जिसको

• Derived from जो (jo) = “who / which”
• जिसको (jisko) = “which / that which / what”

The correlative (वह / उसको) is omitted, which is common in Hindi when the meaning is clear.

• Emphasis with ही

ही (hī) adds strong focus:

• exactly
• precisely
• indeed

👉 जिसको ही =
“that very thing which…”

This reinforces the contrast between:

• what the world calls happiness
• what renunciates consider it to be

• Comparison structure: X के समान

Pattern:

• काग-विष्टा के समान = like crow’s droppings

Common structure:

• सोने के समान = like gold
• स्वप्न के समान = like a dream

🔍 Deeper meaning in context

In the broader passage, there is a contrast between:

• worldly relationships (called vikārī = impure, desire-based)
• and Baba, who gives true love and fulfillment

This sentence supports the idea that:

👉 worldly happiness is:

• temporary
• limited
• impure
• ultimately disappointing

So the metaphor:

काग-विष्टा के समान सुख
means a “happiness” that is:

• extremely low in value
• almost disgusting from a spiritual perspective

🕉️ Cultural & spiritual nuance

This kind of imagery is common in Indian spiritual discourse, especially among ascetics.

The point is not just to insult worldly pleasure, but to show:

• it may appear attractive
• but from a higher spiritual viewpoint, it is trivial
• compared to true spiritual bliss, it is negligible or even repulsive

📘 Very literal translation

• जिसको ही = that which precisely
• संन्यासी = renunciates
• काग-विष्टा के समान = like crow’s droppings
• सुख = happiness
• कहते हैं = say

👉 Literal:
“That very thing which renunciates call a happiness like crow’s droppings.”

(Not natural in English, but useful to see the structure.)

💡 Simple takeaway

What people consider happiness in the world is, for renunciates, something extremely low, impure, and without real value.
