Rahim ke Dohe Doha 13 meaning
jo baden ko laghu kahen, nahin raheem ghati janhi
giradhar muraleedhar kahe, kachu dukh manat nahin
जो बड़ेन को लघु कहें, नहिं रहीम घटि जाँहि।
गिरधर मुरलीधर कहे, कछु दुख मानत नाहिं॥
If someone calls a great person small, the great one does not shrink. Krishna, who lifted a mountain, is happily called 'the flute-player' and takes no offence.
What it means
Secure people don't need their titles defended. Being underestimated costs you nothing if you know who you are. Let your work speak and let go of the need for recognition.How it helps in real life
- At work: The new VP keeps calling you 'just the Excel guy' despite your results. Don't argue; let next quarter's numbers speak.
- When you succeed: Even after your success, relatives introduce you as 'the one who failed class ten'. Laugh along; you know who you are.
हिंदी में अर्थ
अगर कोई बड़े को छोटा कहे तो बड़ा छोटा नहीं हो जाता। पहाड़ उठाने वाले कृष्ण को 'मुरलीधर' कहो, तब भी वे बुरा नहीं मानते।
जो भीतर से मज़बूत हैं, उन्हें अपनी उपाधि बचाने की ज़रूरत नहीं। कोई आपको कम आँके तो भी आपकी कीमत नहीं घटती।
Spoken by Rahim.
