Mahabharata 3.2.27 meaning
snehamoolani duhkhani snehajani bhayani cha
shokaharshau tath-ayasah sarvam snehat pravartate
स्नेहमूलानि दुःखानि स्नेहजानि भयानि च।
शोकहर्षौ तथायासः सर्वं स्नेहात्प्रवर्तते॥
All sorrows have attachment at their root, and fears too are born of attachment. Grief and joy, and weariness as well, all spring from attachment.
What it means
The more tightly we cling, the more we fear losing. This is not a call to stop loving, but to love without gripping so hard that every change hurts.हिंदी में अर्थ
सारे दुःखों की जड़ आसक्ति है, और भय भी आसक्ति से ही पैदा होते हैं। शोक, हर्ष और थकान, सब आसक्ति से ही उपजते हैं।
जितना कसकर पकड़ते हैं, खोने का डर उतना बढ़ता है। इसका मतलब प्यार छोड़ना नहीं, बल्कि ऐसे प्यार करना है कि हर बदलाव चोट न दे।
