Kabir ke Dohe Doha 194 meaning
kabeer yah sansar hai, jaisa semal phool
din das ke vyavahar men, jhoothe rang na bhool
कबीर यह संसार है, जैसा सेमल फूल ।
दिन दस के व्यवहार में, झूठे रंग न भूल ॥
Kabir says, this world is like the silk-cotton flower, bright but empty. In these few days of dealings, don't be fooled by false colours.
What it means
The semal flower looks lush but yields only fluff. Many things that dazzle us are like that. Enjoy the colours, but don't build your life on them.How it helps in real life
- With money: Instagram makes your friends' Bali trips look perfect. Before booking one on a credit card, check what you'll actually have left next month.
- In love & marriage: The new crush seems perfect after three dates. Before introducing them to family, notice how they treat waiters and auto drivers.
हिंदी में अर्थ
कबीर कहते हैं, यह संसार सेमल के फूल जैसा है, चमकीला पर खोखला। इन दस दिनों के लेन-देन में झूठे रंगों पर मत भूलो।
सेमल का फूल भरा-पूरा दिखता है पर उसमें सिर्फ़ रुई निकलती है। हमें चकाचौंध करने वाली बहुत सी चीज़ें ऐसी ही हैं। रंगों का मज़ा लीजिए, पर जीवन उन पर मत टिकाइए।
