Ramcharitmanas 6.117a meaning
muni jehi dhyan na pavahin neti neti kah bed
kripasindhu soi kapinha san karat anek binod
मुनि जेहि ध्यान न पावहिं नेति नेति कह बेद।
कृपासिंधु सोइ कपिन्ह सन करत अनेक बिनोद।।
The one whom sages cannot reach even in meditation, whom the Vedas describe only as 'not this, not this' — that ocean of mercy laughs and plays with the monkeys.
What it means
The infinite God, beyond the reach of scholars, jokes and plays with simple monkeys. The Divine is not distant or stiff; it is closest to those who love simply and openly.How it helps in real life
- As a parent: Your child asks if God gets angry when she forgets to pray. Tell her God loves to laugh and play, then sing a bhajan together.
- At work: Since becoming the boss, you've gone stiff and formal with the team. Join their Friday lunch, laugh freely, and let them see you as human.
हिंदी में अर्थ
जिन्हें मुनि ध्यान में भी नहीं पाते, जिन्हें वेद 'नेति-नेति' कहकर बताते हैं, वही कृपा के सागर वानरों के साथ तरह-तरह के विनोद कर रहे हैं।
जो भगवान बड़े-बड़े ज्ञानियों की पहुँच से बाहर हैं, वे सरल वानरों के साथ हँसी-मज़ाक करते हैं। भगवान दूर या कठोर नहीं, सरल प्रेम करने वालों के सबसे पास हैं।
Spoken by Shiva.
