Ramcharitmanas 6.3.4 meaning
bandha setu neel nal nagar ram kripan jasu bhayau ujagar
boodahin anahi borahin jee bhae upal bohit sam tee
बाँधा सेतु नील नल नागर। राम कृपाँ जसु भयउ उजागर।।
बूड़हिं आनहि बोरहिं जेई। भए उपल बोहित सम तेई।।
The clever Nal and Nil built the bridge, but it was by Rama's grace that their fame shone. The very stones that normally sink — and drag others down with them — floated like boats.
What it means
Talent built the bridge, but grace made it float. Skill and effort matter, yet when something heavy in your life suddenly becomes light, remember there is often more at work than your own hands.How it helps in real life
- When you succeed: Your app launch went far better than planned. Thank your developers by name, and quietly acknowledge the luck and timing that helped.
- With money: A heavy EMI suddenly feels manageable after a raise. Before upgrading your lifestyle, pause and thank God and the people who helped.
हिंदी में अर्थ
चतुर नल और नील ने सेतु बाँधा, पर राम की कृपा से ही उनका यश फैला। जो पत्थर खुद डूबते हैं और दूसरों को भी डुबो देते हैं, वही नाव के समान तैरने लगे।
हुनर ने पुल बनाया, पर कृपा ने पत्थरों को तैराया। मेहनत और कौशल ज़रूरी हैं, पर जब कोई भारी बोझ अचानक हल्का हो जाए, तो समझिए केवल हमारे हाथ ही काम नहीं कर रहे।
Spoken by Tulsidas.
