Kabir ke Dohe Doha 130 meaning
phal karan seva kare, kare na man se kam
kahe kabeer sevak naheen, chahai chauguna dam
फल कारण सेवा करे, करे न मन से काम ।
कहे कबीर सेवक नहीं, चहै चौगुना दाम ॥
One who serves only for a reward, not from the heart, is no servant, says Kabir; he just wants four times the price back.
What it means
Help given with a hidden invoice isn't really service. When you do something for others, try doing it without keeping score. It frees you as much as it helps them.How it helps in real life
- Helping others: Donating to the temple only so your name goes on the plaque? Give anonymously this time, and feel the difference.
- With friends: Helped a friend move house? Don't remind them about it next time you need a favour. Help without keeping score.
हिंदी में अर्थ
जो केवल फल पाने के लिए सेवा करे, मन से नहीं, कबीर कहते हैं वह सेवक नहीं, वह तो चौगुना दाम चाहता है।
जिस मदद के पीछे छुपा बिल हो, वह सेवा नहीं। दूसरों के लिए कुछ करें तो हिसाब मत रखिए। इससे उन्हें मदद मिलती है और आप भी हल्के होते हैं।
