Tulsi ke Dohe Doha 20 meaning
tulasee je keerati chahahin, par kee keerati khoi
tinake munh masi lagihain, mitahi na marihai dhoi
तुलसी जे कीरति चहहिं, पर की कीरति खोइ।
तिनके मुँह मसि लागिहैं, मिटहि न मरिहै धोइ॥
Tulsi says: those who want fame by destroying others' good name will end up with soot on their own faces, a stain that won't wash off even if they scrub themselves to death.
What it means
Pulling others down to look good always backfires. Gossip and character attacks stick to the person who spreads them. Build your reputation by your own work, not others' ruin.How it helps in real life
- At work: You're tempted to pass rumours to HR about your rival for the promotion. Put that energy into your own presentation instead.
- With friends: The society WhatsApp group is shredding a neighbour's reputation. Don't forward or add to it; leave the chat if you need to.
हिंदी में अर्थ
तुलसी कहते हैं कि जो दूसरों की कीर्ति मिटाकर खुद यश चाहते हैं, उनके मुँह पर कालिख लगेगी, जो मरते दम तक धोने पर भी नहीं मिटेगी।
दूसरों को गिराकर अपनी छवि बनाना उल्टा पड़ता है। निंदा करने वाले की ही बदनामी होती है। अपनी पहचान अपने काम से बनाएँ।
