Ramcharitmanas 5.16 meaning
sunu mata sakhamrig nahin bal buddhi bisal
prabhu pratap ten garudahi khai param laghu byal
सुनु माता साखामृग नहिं बल बुद्धि बिसाल।
प्रभु प्रताप तें गरुड़हि खाइ परम लघु ब्याल।।
Listen, Mother — a monkey has no great strength or intellect. But by the Lord's power, even a tiny snake can swallow Garuda, king of birds.
What it means
Sita worries how small monkeys can defeat giant demons. Hanuman humbly credits his strength to a higher power. When you feel too small for a challenge, remember that purpose and grace can make the small mighty.How it helps in real life
- When you are worried: The only Indian in the boardroom, pitching to giants? Strength isn't only size; prepare well, say a short prayer and speak clearly.
- When you succeed: Your small team just beat a big competitor for the contract. In the celebration speech, credit the team and the luck, not just yourself.
हिंदी में अर्थ
हे माता सुनिए, वानरों में न बहुत बल होता है, न बुद्धि। पर प्रभु के प्रताप से छोटा-सा साँप भी गरुड़ को खा सकता है।
सीता चिंता करती हैं कि छोटे वानर बड़े राक्षसों को कैसे हराएँगे। हनुमान अपनी ताक़त का श्रेय प्रभु को देते हैं। जब खुद को छोटा महसूस करो, याद रखो कि उद्देश्य और कृपा छोटे को बड़ा बना देते हैं।
Spoken by Hanuman.
