Ramcharitmanas 7.39.2 meaning
khalanha hridayan ati tap biseshee jarahin sada par sampati dekhee
jahan kahun ninda sunahin paraee harashahin manahun paree nidhi paee
खलन्ह हृदयँ अति ताप बिसेषी। जरहिं सदा पर संपति देखी।।
जहँ कहुँ निंदा सुनहिं पराई। हरषहिं मनहुँ परी निधि पाई।।
The hearts of the wicked burn with a special pain: they always burn at the sight of others' success. Whenever they hear others being criticised, they rejoice as if they'd found buried treasure.
What it means
Jealousy is a fire that burns the one who carries it. If you notice yourself enjoying gossip or resenting someone's success, treat it as a warning light — it's your own peace being burned.How it helps in real life
- At work: You smiled when you heard a rival colleague got scolded. Treat it as a warning light, and say one fair thing about her today.
- With friends: The friends' WhatsApp group is picking apart someone's divorce. Don't add a comment; change the topic or leave the chat for the day.
हिंदी में अर्थ
दुष्टों के हृदय में बड़ी जलन रहती है; वे दूसरों की संपत्ति देखकर सदा जलते रहते हैं। जहाँ कहीं पराई निंदा सुनते हैं, वहाँ ऐसे खुश होते हैं मानो रास्ते में खज़ाना मिल गया हो।
ईर्ष्या वह आग है जो अपने ही मन को जलाती है। अगर किसी की निंदा में मज़ा आए या किसी की सफलता चुभे, तो समझिए यह चेतावनी है — आपकी अपनी शांति जल रही है।
Spoken by Rama.
