Kabir ke Dohe Doha 15 meaning
nindak niyare rakhie, angan kutee chavay
bin panee sabun bina, nirmal kare subhay
निंदक नियरे राखिए, आँगन कुटी छवाय।
बिन पानी साबुन बिना, निर्मल करे सुभाय॥
Keep your critic close to you; even build him a hut in your courtyard. Without water or soap, he cleans your character by pointing out your faults.
What it means
People who point out your mistakes are doing you a favour, even if it stings. Honest feedback keeps you growing. Surround yourself with truth-tellers, not only with people who flatter you.How it helps in real life
- At work: The colleague who always flags errors in your reports? Stop avoiding them; thank them and ask for more feedback.
- With friends: Keep that one friend who tells you when your Instagram posts are too much. Truth-tellers are rarer than fans.
हिंदी में अर्थ
अपनी आलोचना करने वाले को पास रखो, उसके लिए आँगन में कुटिया बनवा दो। वह बिना पानी और साबुन के तुम्हारा स्वभाव साफ़ कर देता है।
जो आपकी ग़लतियाँ बताते हैं, वे असल में भला करते हैं। सच कहने वाले लोग हमें बेहतर बनाते हैं, सिर्फ़ तारीफ़ करने वालों से घिरे न रहें।
