Surdas Pad 10 meaning
maiya kabahun badhaigee chotee
kitee ber mohi doodh piyat bhai, yah ajahoon hai chotee
मैया कबहुँ बढ़ैगी चोटी।
किती बेर मोहि दूध पियत भइ, यह अजहूँ है छोटी॥
Mother, when will my braid grow? I've been drinking milk for so long, and it's still this short!
What it means
Little Krishna was promised that milk would make his hair grow long like his brother's. This sweet complaint captures childhood impatience, and reminds parents how seriously children take every promise.How it helps in real life
- As a parent: You told your son 'next weekend, the zoo' three weekends ago. He remembers. Book the tickets tonight, or tell him honestly why not.
- Health & body: Two weeks into the gym and the mirror shows nothing yet. Keep going like little Krishna with his milk; changes take months, not days.
हिंदी में अर्थ
माँ, मेरी चोटी कब बढ़ेगी? मुझे दूध पीते कितना समय हो गया, फिर भी यह अभी तक छोटी ही है!
नन्हे कृष्ण से कहा गया था कि दूध पीने से चोटी भाई जैसी लंबी होगी। यह प्यारी शिकायत बचपन की बेसब्री दिखाती है और याद दिलाती है कि बच्चे हर वादे को गंभीरता से लेते हैं।
