Ramcharitmanas 2.231 meaning
bharatahi hoi na rajamadu bidhi hari har pad pai
kabahun ki kanjee seekarani cheerasindhu binasai
भरतहि होइ न राजमदु बिधि हरि हर पद पाइ।
कबहुँ कि काँजी सीकरनि छीरसिंधु बिनसाइ॥
Bharata would not become drunk with power even if he received the position of Brahma, Vishnu or Shiva. Can a few drops of sour gruel ever spoil the ocean of milk?
What it means
Lakshmana suspected Bharata; Rama defended him. Power corrupts small hearts, but a truly large heart stays pure. Trust the people whose character you know. Defend those you know to be good.How it helps in real life
- With friends: Someone in the group chat accuses your oldest friend of cheating in a business deal. Before joining in, call him and hear his side.
- With family: Relatives gossip that your brother changed after his job abroad. If you know his heart, say so calmly at the dinner table.
हिंदी में अर्थ
भरत को ब्रह्मा, विष्णु और महेश का पद पाकर भी राज का घमंड नहीं हो सकता। क्या कभी काँजी की कुछ बूँदों से क्षीरसागर फट सकता है?
लक्ष्मण को भरत पर शक था; राम ने उनका बचाव किया। सत्ता छोटे दिल को बिगाड़ती है, पर बड़ा दिल पवित्र रहता है। जिनका चरित्र जानते हो, उन पर भरोसा रखो।
Spoken by Rama.
