Rahim ke Dohe Doha 50 meaning
rahiman rahila kee bhalee, jo parasai chit lay
parasat man mailo kare, so maida jari jay
रहिमन रहिला की भली, जो परसै चित लाय।
परसत मन मैलो करे, सो मैदा जरि जाय॥
Rahim says: plain gram is better when it is served with love. Fine flour served with a sour, grudging heart may as well burn.
What it means
What you offer matters less than how you offer it. A simple meal or small gift given warmly beats an expensive one given with resentment. Let your hospitality come from the heart.How it helps in real life
- With family: Your in-laws are visiting and you feel your simple dal-chawal isn't fancy enough. Serve it warmly and sit down to eat with them.
- Helping others: Giving old clothes to the NGO drive with a sigh? Pick ones you'd still wear, wash and fold them, and hand them over gladly.
हिंदी में अर्थ
रहीम कहते हैं कि प्रेम से परोसा गया चना भी अच्छा है। मन मैला करके परोसा गया मैदा जल जाए, वह किसी काम का नहीं।
क्या दिया, उससे ज़्यादा ज़रूरी है कैसे दिया। प्यार से दिया सादा खाना, अनमने मन से दिए पकवान से बेहतर है।
Spoken by Rahim.
