Kabir ke Dohe Doha 33 meaning
madhur vachan hai aushadhi, katuk vachan hai teer
shravan dvar hvai sancharai, salai sakal shareer
मधुर वचन है औषधि, कटुक वचन है तीर।
श्रवण द्वार ह्वै संचरै, सालै सकल शरीर॥
Sweet words are like medicine, and harsh words are like arrows. Entering through the doorway of the ears, harsh words pain the whole body.
What it means
Harsh words do not stay in the ears; they sink into the heart and linger for years. Speak gently, especially in conflict, because your words can heal or wound deeply.How it helps in real life
- As a parent: Your kid broke a glass. Instead of shouting 'stupid', calmly say 'it's okay, let's clean it up together'.
- When you are angry: When a call-centre agent frustrates you, don't yell. Firm, polite words usually get your issue solved faster anyway.
हिंदी में अर्थ
मीठे वचन दवा की तरह हैं और कड़वे वचन तीर की तरह। कड़वे वचन कानों के रास्ते भीतर जाकर पूरे शरीर को दुख देते हैं।
कड़वे शब्द कानों में नहीं रुकते, दिल में उतरकर बरसों चुभते हैं। झगड़े में भी नरमी से बोलिए, शब्द मरहम भी बन सकते हैं और घाव भी।
Spoken by Kabir.
