Question

What does the narrator want to conveywhen he say's that "we don't get what we want , why we get what we don't want" ?

Answer 1

The narrator here says that 'we never get what we wish for. But get something that we don't want , something that we never wished for. For example , 'U wish for a I-phone 7 for your b'day but Instead get an Samsung Note 3'. You don't want Samsung but you want an iPhone. So that is what the narrator is trying to convey here.
