Ramcharitmanas 4.7.2 meaning
jinha ken asi mati sahaj na aee te sath kat hathi karat mitaee
kupath nivari supanth chalava gun pragate avagunanhi durava
जिन्ह कें असि मति सहज न आई। ते सठ कत हठि करत मिताई।।
कुपथ निवारि सुपंथ चलावा। गुन प्रगटे अवगुनन्हि दुरावा।।
Those who do not naturally have such feelings — why do such fools insist on making friends? A true friend stops you from going the wrong way, sets you on the right path, shows off your virtues and hides your faults.
What it means
Friendship is not just company; it is responsibility. A good friend stops you from a bad decision, guides you gently, praises you in public and covers your mistakes instead of spreading them.How it helps in real life
- With friends: Your friend is about to text his ex at 2am after a few drinks. Gently take the phone and talk him through it.
- At work: Your teammate messed up a client deck. Fix it with her privately, then praise her good slides in the team meeting.
हिंदी में अर्थ
जिनमें स्वभाव से ऐसी बुद्धि नहीं है, वे मूर्ख ज़बरदस्ती मित्रता क्यों करते हैं? सच्चा मित्र बुरे रास्ते से रोककर अच्छे रास्ते पर चलाता है, गुणों को प्रकट करता है और अवगुणों को छिपाता है।
मित्रता सिर्फ़ साथ घूमना नहीं, ज़िम्मेदारी है। अच्छा दोस्त गलत फ़ैसले से रोकता है, सही राह दिखाता है, सबके सामने तारीफ़ करता है और गलतियाँ छिपाता है।
Spoken by Rama.
