Kabir ke Dohe Doha 82 meaning
maya chaya ek see, birala janai koy
bhagata ke peeche phirai, sanamukh bhajai soy
माया छाया एक सी, बिरला जानै कोय।
भगता के पीछे फिरै, सनमुख भाजै सोय॥
Worldly wealth and a shadow are alike, but few understand this. Chase it and it runs ahead of you; turn away from it and it follows you.
What it means
Money and status often slip away from those who chase them desperately, and come more easily to those focused on good work and values. Stop chasing shadows; walk towards the light.How it helps in real life
- With money: Checking your portfolio twenty times a day? Delete the app from your home screen and focus on doing excellent work instead.
- When you succeed: Obsessing over followers for your food blog? Stop chasing numbers for a month and just post the best recipes you can.
हिंदी में अर्थ
माया और छाया एक जैसी हैं, यह कोई विरला ही जानता है। जो इसके पीछे भागे उससे दूर भागती है, और जो इससे मुँह मोड़ ले उसके पीछे चलती है।
पैसा और रुतबा अक्सर उनसे दूर भागते हैं जो उनके पीछे पागल हों, और उनके पास आते हैं जो अच्छे काम पर ध्यान दें। परछाईं के पीछे मत भागिए।
Spoken by Kabir.
