Tulsi ke Dohe Doha 14 meaning
dien peethi pachen lagai, sanamukh hot parai
tulasee sampati chanh jyon, lakhi din baithi ganvai
दिएँ पीठि पाछें लगै, सनमुख होत पराइ।
तुलसी संपति छाँह ज्यों, लखि दिन बैठि गँवाइ॥
Turn your back and it follows you; face it and it runs away. Tulsi says: wealth is like a shadow. Knowing this, why waste your days chasing it?
What it means
Chasing money desperately often pushes it further away, while focusing on good work brings it along. Don't spend your life running after a shadow; do what matters and let it follow.How it helps in real life
- With money: Constantly checking stock prices hasn't made you richer. Delete the ticker widget and focus on getting better at your actual job.
- At work: You've switched jobs four times in two years chasing salary hikes. Stay put, master your craft, and let the money follow.
हिंदी में अर्थ
पीठ फेरो तो पीछे आती है, सामने जाओ तो भाग जाती है। तुलसी कहते हैं, संपत्ति छाया जैसी है, यह जानकर उसके पीछे दिन क्यों गँवाना?
पैसे के पीछे पागल होकर भागने से वह दूर भागता है। अच्छे काम पर ध्यान दें, धन छाया की तरह पीछे आएगा।
