Kabir ke Dohe Doha 163 meaning
main main badee balai hai, sakai to nikaso bhaji
kab lag rakhaun he sakhee, ruee lapetee agi
मैं मैं बड़ी बलाइ है, सकै तो निकसो भाजि ।
कब लग राखौं हे सखी, रुई लपेटी आगि ॥
This 'I, I' is a terrible curse; run away from it if you can. Friend, how long can you keep fire wrapped in cotton?
What it means
Ego is fire wrapped in cotton: it looks soft but will eventually burn everything around it. Catch the 'me first' voice early, before it flares up.How it helps in real life
- At work: In the meeting you're itching to say 'that was my idea'. Let your teammate present it, and credit them in the email afterwards.
- In love & marriage: The argument with your partner is now about who's right, not the problem. Stop, say 'I might be wrong', and listen.
हिंदी में अर्थ
यह 'मैं-मैं' बहुत बड़ी बला है, हो सके तो इससे भाग निकलो। सखी, रुई में लिपटी आग को कब तक छिपाकर रखोगी?
अहंकार रुई में लिपटी आग है, ऊपर से नरम, पर अंत में आसपास सब जला देता है। 'पहले मैं' वाली आवाज़ को भड़कने से पहले ही पहचानिए।
