Kabir ke Dohe Doha 158 meaning
maya tajee tau kya bhaya, mani tajee naheen jai
mani bade muniyar mile, mani sabani ko khai
माया तजी तौ क्या भया, मानि तजी नहीं जाइ ।
मानि बड़े मुनियर मिले, मानि सबनि को खाइ ॥
So you gave up wealth, so what, if pride is not given up? Great sages have been undone by pride; pride devours everyone.
What it means
Renouncing things is easier than renouncing ego. People can even be proud of their simplicity. Watch for the subtle pride that sneaks into every achievement.How it helps in real life
- When you succeed: You quit the corporate job for a simple life and now judge friends who didn't. Notice that pride, and drop the lecture.
- Helping others: You donated generously at the temple and want your name on the board. Try giving once anonymously and see how it feels.
हिंदी में अर्थ
माया छोड़ दी तो क्या हुआ, अगर अभिमान नहीं छूटा? बड़े-बड़े मुनि अभिमान में डूबे, अभिमान सबको खा जाता है।
चीज़ें छोड़ना आसान है, अहंकार छोड़ना कठिन। लोग अपनी सादगी पर भी घमंड कर बैठते हैं। हर उपलब्धि में चुपके से घुसते अभिमान पर नज़र रखिए।
Spoken by Kabir.
