Kabir ke Dohe · Sakhi
Kabir ke Dohe Doha 191 meaning
bhesh dekh mat bhooliye, boojhi leejiye jnan
bina kasautee hot naheen, kanchan kee pahichan
भेष देख मत भूलिये, बूझि लीजिये ज्ञान ।
बिना कसौटी होत नहीं, कंचन की पहिचान ॥
Don't be fooled by someone's outfit; ask about their understanding. Without a touchstone, gold can't be identified.
What it means
Titles, robes and branding can impress, but they prove nothing. Test people by their knowledge and conduct before trusting them. Gold is proven by the test, not by its shine.How it helps in real life
- With money: A property agent arrives in a Mercedes with glossy brochures. Ask for the RERA number and past buyers' contacts before signing anything.
- At work: Hiring for your team? Give every candidate the same practical test, whether they come from IIT or a small-town college.
हिंदी में अर्थ
किसी का वेश देखकर भ्रम में मत पड़िए, उसका ज्ञान परखिए। कसौटी के बिना सोने की पहचान नहीं होती।
पद, वेश और ब्रांडिंग प्रभावित कर सकते हैं, पर कुछ साबित नहीं करते। भरोसा करने से पहले लोगों को उनके ज्ञान और आचरण से परखिए।
