Kabir ke Dohe Doha 74 meaning
kabeera garva na keejiye, ooncha dekhi avas
kal paraun bhuin letana, oopar jamasee ghas
कबीरा गर्व न कीजिये, ऊँचा देखि आवास।
काल परौं भुइँ लेटना, ऊपर जमसी घास॥
Kabir says do not be proud when you look at your tall mansion. Tomorrow you may lie in the ground, with grass growing over you.
What it means
Big houses and possessions can make us feel important, but none of it lasts. Enjoy what you have with gratitude, not pride, and remember what truly endures is how you lived.How it helps in real life
- With money: Just moved into your dream villa? Host a simple housewarming and stay grateful, not boastful, with relatives and friends.
- In grief: An old neighbour's grand house was sold off soon after he passed. Let it remind you to invest more in people than in walls.
हिंदी में अर्थ
कबीर कहते हैं, अपना ऊँचा मकान देखकर घमंड मत करो। कल ज़मीन में लेटना होगा और ऊपर घास उग आएगी।
बड़े घर और चीज़ें हमें बड़ा महसूस कराती हैं, पर कुछ भी हमेशा नहीं रहता। जो है उसका आनंद कृतज्ञता से लीजिए, घमंड से नहीं।
