Ramcharitmanas 7.46.1 meaning
kahahu bhagati path kavan prayasa jog na makh jap tap upavasa
saral subhav na man kutilaee jatha labh santosh sadaee
कहहु भगति पथ कवन प्रयासा। जोग न मख जप तप उपवासा।।
सरल सुभाव न मन कुटिलाई। जथा लाभ संतोष सदाई।।
Tell me, what effort does the path of devotion need? No yoga, no sacrifices, no chanting, austerity or fasting. Just a simple nature, a mind free of crookedness, and contentment with whatever comes.
What it means
Rama makes devotion refreshingly simple: be straightforward, don't scheme against anyone, and be content with what you have. No complicated rituals are required. A clean heart is the whole method.How it helps in real life
- At work: Tempted to quietly undermine a colleague up for the same role? Don't scheme; compete openly on your work and accept the result with contentment.
- Every day: Think devotion needs hours you don't have? Start the day straightforward with everyone and content with what comes; that counts.
हिंदी में अर्थ
बताओ, भक्ति के मार्ग में कौन-सा परिश्रम है? इसमें न योग चाहिए, न यज्ञ, न जप, तप और उपवास। बस सरल स्वभाव हो, मन में कुटिलता न हो, और जो मिले उसमें सदा संतोष रहे।
राम भक्ति को बहुत सरल बना देते हैं: सीधे रहो, चालाकी मत करो, और संतोष रखो। कोई कठिन विधि नहीं चाहिए। साफ़ दिल ही पूरा तरीका है।
Spoken by Rama.
