Kabir ke Dohe Doha 164 meaning
manah manorath chandiye, tera kiya na hoi
panee men gheev neekasai, to rookha khai na koi
मनह मनोरथ छाँड़िये, तेरा किया न होइ ।
पाणी में घीव नीकसै, तो रूखा खाइ न कोइ ॥
Let go of the mind's daydreams; things don't happen just because you wish them. If butter could be churned from water, nobody would eat dry bread.
What it means
Wishful thinking doesn't produce results. Fantasising about outcomes is like churning water for butter. Drop the empty scheming; act sincerely and trust the rest. Real work beats imagined success every time.How it helps in real life
- With money: You keep imagining the lottery win or the big startup exit. Tonight, open a spreadsheet and make a small monthly savings plan instead.
- Studies & exams: You've made the perfect UPSC timetable five times without starting. Close the planner and study one chapter for forty minutes right now.
हिंदी में अर्थ
मन के मनसूबे छोड़ दो, तुम्हारे चाहने से कुछ नहीं होता। अगर पानी से घी निकलता, तो कोई रूखी रोटी न खाता।
सिर्फ़ ख़्वाब देखने से नतीजे नहीं आते। नतीजों की कल्पना करना पानी मथकर घी निकालने जैसा है। खोखले मनसूबे छोड़िए, ईमानदारी से काम कीजिए।
Spoken by Kabir.
