Kabir ke Dohe · Sakhi
Kabir ke Dohe Doha 143 meaning
jhoothe sukh ko sukh kahai, manat hai man mod
jagat chabena kal ka, kuch mukh men kuch god
झूठे सुख को सुख कहै, मानत है मन मोद ।
जगत चबेना काल का, कुछ मुख में कुछ गोद ॥
People call false pleasure happiness and feel delighted by it. But the world is just a snack for Time: some already in its mouth, some waiting in its lap.
What it means
We get excited about passing pleasures as if they'll last forever. Time consumes everything. Enjoy what you have, but anchor your life in something deeper.How it helps in real life
- With money: Excited about a festive-sale gadget that'll be outdated next year? Enjoy it if you buy it, but don't build your happiness on it.
- In grief: Watching your parents age faster than you expected? Spend weekends with them and anchor your life in what truly lasts.
हिंदी में अर्थ
लोग झूठे सुख को सुख कहते हैं और मन में खुश होते हैं। पर दुनिया तो काल का चबेना है, कुछ उसके मुँह में, कुछ उसकी गोद में।
हम क्षणिक सुखों पर ऐसे खुश होते हैं जैसे वे हमेशा रहेंगे। समय सब कुछ निगल जाता है। जो है उसका आनंद लीजिए, पर जीवन को किसी गहरी चीज़ से जोड़िए।
