Surdas Pad 14 meaning
maiya ree mohin makhan bhavai
madhu meva pakavan mithaee, mohin nahin ruchi avai
मैया री मोहिं माखन भावै।
मधु मेवा पकवान मिठाई, मोहिं नाहिं रुचि आवै॥
Mother, I love butter! Honey, dry fruits, fancy dishes and sweets just don't appeal to me.
What it means
The Lord of all prefers simple homemade butter over rich delicacies. Real joy is often in simple things made with love. Don't underestimate the plain offerings of life.How it helps in real life
- With money: You're planning an expensive anniversary dinner you can't afford this month. Cook her favourite simple dish at home instead; that's what she'll remember.
- When you feel alone: Alone in a Toronto apartment, you're ordering takeout again. Make your mother's plain khichdi tonight; home food can feel like company.
हिंदी में अर्थ
माँ, मुझे तो माखन अच्छा लगता है। शहद, मेवा, पकवान और मिठाई में मेरी कोई रुचि नहीं।
सबके स्वामी को महँगे पकवान नहीं, घर का सादा माखन पसंद है। असली खुशी अक्सर प्यार से बनी सादी चीज़ों में होती है।
