Kabir ke Dohe Doha 190 meaning
man maila tan oojara, bagula kapatee ang
tason to kauva bhala, tan man ekahi rang
मन मैला तन ऊजरा, बगुला कपटी अंग ।
तासों तो कौवा भला, तन मन एकहि रंग ॥
The heron has a dirty mind inside a bright white body; it is a fraud. The crow is better: its body and mind are the same colour.
What it means
A polished image hiding a dark agenda is worse than someone plainly flawed but honest. Be the same inside and out. Authenticity beats a spotless facade.How it helps in real life
- In love & marriage: On dating apps you've been posing as a gym-going traveller you're not. Update your profile honestly before the next match.
- With friends: One friend is sweet to your face but mocks you in other groups. Spend more time with the blunt friend who's the same everywhere.
हिंदी में अर्थ
बगुले का मन मैला और तन उजला है, वह कपटी है। उससे तो कौआ भला, जिसका तन और मन एक ही रंग का है।
चमकदार छवि के पीछे छुपा खोटा इरादा, सीधे-सादे पर ईमानदार इंसान से बुरा है। भीतर-बाहर एक जैसे रहिए। सच्चाई साफ़-सुथरे दिखावे से बेहतर है।
