Kabir ke Dohe Doha 200 meaning
sant na chadai santata, kotik milain asant
malay bhuvangam bedhiya, sheetalata na tajant
संत न छाड़ै संतता, कोटिक मिलैं असंत ।
मलय भुवंगम बेधिया, शीतलता न तजंत ॥
A good person doesn't abandon goodness even among millions of wicked people, just as Malaya sandalwood, though snakes coil around it, never loses its coolness.
What it means
Being surrounded by negativity is no excuse to turn bitter. Your nature is yours to keep. Stay kind even when the people around you aren't.How it helps in real life
- At work: Your whole office runs on gossip and backbiting. Keep greeting everyone warmly and doing honest work; let them coil, you stay cool.
- With family: Your in-laws taunt you at every family function. Stay polite, touch their feet, and refuse to taunt back, even in the car home.
हिंदी में अर्थ
करोड़ों दुष्ट मिल जाएँ, फिर भी संत अपनी सज्जनता नहीं छोड़ता, जैसे मलय का चंदन साँपों से लिपटा रहकर भी अपनी शीतलता नहीं छोड़ता।
आसपास नकारात्मकता हो, यह कड़वा बनने का बहाना नहीं। आपका स्वभाव आपका है, उसे बनाए रखिए। दूसरे दयालु न हों, तब भी दयालु रहिए।
