Surdas Pad 20 meaning
oodhau, karman kee gati nyaree
sab nadiyan jal bhari bhari rahiyan, sagar kehi bidh kharee
ऊधौ, कर्मन की गति न्यारी।
सब नदियाँ जल भरि भरि रहियाँ, सागर केहि बिध खारी॥
Uddhava, the workings of karma are strange. All the rivers flow full of fresh water, so how did the ocean turn salty?
What it means
Life doesn't always add up the way we expect. Fair inputs don't guarantee fair outcomes. Accept the mystery, keep doing good, and don't torment yourself over every 'why'.How it helps in real life
- After a setback: You worked honestly for years and the startup still shut down. Stop asking 'why me' at night; write down three lessons and rest.
- At work: A less-qualified colleague got the onsite opportunity you deserved. Accept that life isn't always fair, keep doing good work, and ask about the next round.
हिंदी में अर्थ
हे उद्धव, कर्मों की गति निराली है। सारी नदियाँ मीठा जल भर-भरकर लाती हैं, फिर सागर खारा कैसे हो गया?
जीवन का हिसाब हमेशा हमारी उम्मीद जैसा नहीं होता। अच्छा करने पर भी नतीजा अलग हो सकता है। रहस्य को स्वीकारें और भलाई करते रहें।
Spoken by Surdas.
