Ramcharitmanas 7.89.4 meaning
janen binu na hoi parateetee binu parateeti hoi nahin preetee
preeti bina nahin bhagati didhaee jimi khagapati jal kai chikanaee
जानें बिनु न होइ परतीती। बिनु परतीति होइ नहिं प्रीती।।
प्रीति बिना नहिं भगति दिढ़ाई। जिमि खगपति जल कै चिकनाई।।
Without knowing, there is no trust; without trust, there is no love. Without love, devotion cannot become firm — just as oil can't stay stuck on water.
What it means
This applies to every relationship: first you get to know someone, then you trust them, and only then real love grows. Skipping steps makes the bond slip away like oil on water.How it helps in real life
- In love & marriage: Family is pushing you to marry someone after two meetings. Ask for time to really know them; trust and love need that foundation.
- At work: Picking a co-founder you met at a networking event? Work on a small project together for a few months before signing anything.
हिंदी में अर्थ
जाने बिना विश्वास नहीं होता, विश्वास के बिना प्रेम नहीं होता, और प्रेम के बिना भक्ति दृढ़ नहीं होती — जैसे हे पक्षीराज, पानी पर तेल की चिकनाई नहीं ठहरती।
यह हर रिश्ते पर लागू है: पहले जानना, फिर भरोसा, और तब सच्चा प्रेम। कदम छोड़ दें तो रिश्ता पानी पर तेल की तरह फिसल जाता है।
Spoken by Kakbhushundi.
