Meera Bai Pad 20 meaning
main to sanvare ke rang rachee
saji singar bandhi pag ghungharoo, lok laj taji nachee
मैं तो साँवरे के रंग राची।
साजि सिंगार बाँधि पग घुँघरू, लोक लाज तजि नाची॥
I am dyed in the colour of my dark beloved. Dressed up, with bells tied on my feet, I danced, leaving behind what people would say.
What it means
When you're truly absorbed in what you love, fear of judgement fades. Meera found freedom in joyful devotion. Don't let 'what will people say' keep you from living fully.How it helps in real life
- When you are worried: You want to post your first singing video but fear what relatives will comment. Record it, upload it, and don't open the comments for a day.
- Big decisions: You want to wear a bright kurta to the office Diwali party but worry it's 'too much'. Wear it; your joy matters more than the stares.
हिंदी में अर्थ
मैं तो साँवरे के रंग में रँग गई हूँ। श्रृंगार करके, पैरों में घुँघरू बाँधकर, लोक-लाज छोड़कर नाची।
जब आप किसी प्रिय चीज़ में पूरी तरह डूब जाते हैं, तो लोगों के डर का असर घट जाता है। 'लोग क्या कहेंगे' को अपनी खुशी रोकने न दें।
Spoken by Meera.
