Ramcharitmanas 5.51.2 meaning
nath daiv kar kavan bharosa soshia sindhu karia man rosa
kadar man kahun ek adhara daiv daiv alasee pukara
नाथ दैव कर कवन भरोसा। सोषिअ सिंधु करिअ मन रोसा।।
कादर मन कहुँ एक अधारा। दैव दैव आलसी पुकारा।।
Lord, why rely on fate? Dry up the ocean — be angry with it. Fate is the only support of a cowardly mind; only the lazy keep crying 'fate, fate'.
What it means
Lakshmana's fiery reminder that waiting for luck is often an excuse. Effort shapes destiny. When something matters, act — don't hide behind 'it wasn't meant to be'.How it helps in real life
- After a setback: Rejected for three jobs and telling everyone 'it wasn't meant to be'? Rewrite your CV this weekend and send five new applications.
- Health & body: Blaming your genes for the rising weight? Talk to your doctor, then start one change this week, like walking after dinner.
हिंदी में अर्थ
हे नाथ, दैव (भाग्य) का क्या भरोसा? मन में क्रोध करके समुद्र को सुखा दीजिए। भाग्य तो कायर मन का एकमात्र सहारा है; आलसी ही 'भाग्य-भाग्य' पुकारा करते हैं।
लक्ष्मण का जोशीला संदेश — किस्मत का इंतज़ार अक्सर बहाना होता है। मेहनत ही भाग्य बनाती है। जब कुछ ज़रूरी हो, तो कदम उठाओ, 'किस्मत में नहीं था' के पीछे मत छिपो।
Spoken by Lakshmana.
