Rahim ke Dohe Doha 23 meaning
dhani raheem jal pank ko, laghu jiy piat aghay
udadhi badaee kaun hai, jagat piaso jay
धनि रहीम जल पंक को, लघु जिय पिअत अघाय।
उदधि बड़ाई कौन है, जगत पिआसो जाय॥
Blessed is the muddy little pond, says Rahim, where small creatures drink their fill. What greatness does the ocean have, if the whole world leaves it thirsty?
What it means
Size means nothing if you are of no use to anyone. A small person who helps is greater than a rich one who helps no one. Measure yourself by how many thirsts you quench.How it helps in real life
- Helping others: You can't donate lakhs like the big sponsors. Instead, teach your watchman's son English for thirty minutes every Saturday.
- At work: Your startup is small but solves a real problem for local kirana owners. Stop comparing with unicorns; call three customers and ask what they need next.
हिंदी में अर्थ
रहीम कहते हैं कि कीचड़ वाला छोटा पानी धन्य है, जहाँ छोटे जीव भरपेट पीते हैं। उस समुद्र की क्या बड़ाई, जिसके पास से सारा संसार प्यासा लौट जाए?
बड़ा होना बेकार है अगर किसी के काम न आएँ। मदद करने वाला छोटा इंसान, किसी के काम न आने वाले बड़े से बेहतर है।
Spoken by Rahim.
