Kabir ke Dohe Doha 192 meaning
dekha dekhee bhakti ka, kabahun na chadhasee rang
bipati pade yon chandasee, jyon kenchuli tajat bhujang
देखा देखी भक्ति का, कबहुँ न चढ़सी रंग ।
बिपति पड़े यों छाँड़सी, ज्यों केंचुलि तजत भुजंग ॥
Devotion copied from others never takes on real colour. When trouble comes it is dropped, like a snake shedding its skin.
What it means
Faith borrowed from social pressure or trends rarely survives hardship. Build your own understanding and conviction, so it holds when life gets tough. Faith you have tested yourself lasts much longer.How it helps in real life
- Every day: You only pray when friends keep Navratri fasts. Will that hold in a crisis? Start five quiet minutes daily, on your own.
- In grief: After your mother's death, rituals feel empty because you never knew why you did them. Ask the pandit to explain one, then do it with meaning.
हिंदी में अर्थ
देखा-देखी की भक्ति का रंग कभी नहीं चढ़ता। मुसीबत आते ही वह ऐसे छूट जाती है जैसे साँप केंचुली छोड़ देता है।
सामाजिक दबाव या चलन से उधार ली आस्था मुश्किल में शायद ही टिकती है। अपनी समझ और विश्वास खुद गढ़िए, ताकि कठिन समय में वह साथ दे।
