Kabir ke Dohe Doha 114 meaning
rookha sookha khai ke, thanda panee peev
dekh paraee choopadee, mat lalachave jeev
रूखा सूखा खाइ के, ठंडा पानी पीव।
देख पराई चूपड़ी, मत ललचावे जीव॥
Eat your plain, dry bread and drink cool water. Do not let your heart crave when you see someone else's buttered bread.
What it means
Comparison steals contentment. What others have will always look better from outside. Enjoy what is honestly yours, and you will feel richer than someone always looking at others' plates.How it helps in real life
- With money: Your cousin just bought a BMW and you feel small in your hatchback. Pay off your car on time and enjoy the drive.
- Phone & habits: Instagram makes everyone's life look better than yours. Mute the accounts that trigger comparison and enjoy your own dinner tonight.
हिंदी में अर्थ
रूखी-सूखी रोटी खाकर ठंडा पानी पी लो। दूसरों की घी लगी रोटी देखकर अपना मन मत ललचाओ।
तुलना संतोष छीन लेती है। दूसरों की चीज़ें हमेशा बेहतर दिखती हैं। जो ईमानदारी से आपका है, उसका आनंद लीजिए, आप ज़्यादा अमीर महसूस करेंगे।
