DOHE FROM KABIR....... "MohanN"

KABIR'S COUPLETS !!!!!!
 
 Kabir was a great saint. He wrote life's basic things in such a simple language that everyone understands. But a big question as to how many understand and apply in real day to day life to make living a pleasure and not a pain.

Poet Turns Saint
Kabir, or Sant Kabir as he was known, has inspired generations of people with his now popular sayings.

 
There's one "doha", or couplet, from him for every life situation. His poetry was so full of spiritual insight that he ceased to be a mere poet and won the title "Sant", for saint. Here are some of his most quoted sayings...
 
1 . All-Time Favourite Doha
"Dukh Mein Sumiran Sab Kare, Sukh Mein Kare Na Koye,
Jo Sukh Mein Simran Kare, Toh Dukh Kahe Ko Hoye."
 
Meaning: "During suffering, everyone prays to the Lord, but
when experiencing happiness, we forget to thank God. If one
were to pray to God even during the good times, can the bad
times ever trouble one?"
 
2. Everyone Knows This One
"Bura Jo Dekhan Main Chala, Bura Naa Milya Koye,
Jo Mann Khoja Aapna, To Mujhse Bura Naa Koye."
 
Meaning: "I searched for the crooked man, but failed to find one.
But when I searched within myself, I realised there was none
more crooked than me!"
 
3. A Quote For Today
"Kaal Kare So Aaj Kar, Aaj Kare So Ab,
Pal Mein Pralaya Hoyegi, Bahuri Karoge Kab.
 
" Meaning: "Instead of doing tomorrow's work on the morrow,
do it today, and do today's work, right now! If the moment is
lost, can you get it back any way?"

Dui Paatan Ke Beech Mein, Sabit Bacha Na Koye."

the duel of wheels, nothing stays intact."
 
5. Choose Your Words Carefully
"Aisee Vani Boliye, Mann Ka Aapa Khoye,
Apna Tan Sheetal Kare, Auran Ko Sukh Hoye."
 
Meaning: "Speak such words, without the ego's manipulative
ways, that not only your own body remains composed, you
also give your listeners joy through your words."
 
6. In Its Own Sweet Time
"Dheere Dheere Re Mana, Dheere Sab Kuch Hoye,
Mali Seenche So Ghara, Ritu Aaye Phal Hoye."
 
Meaning: "Slowly, slowly, O mind, everything happens at its
own pace, The gardener may water with a hundred pots of
water, but the fruit only arrives in its season."
 
7. Just Enough
"Saayi Itna Deejiye, Ja Mein Kutumb Samaye,
Main Bhi Bhookha Na Rahoon, Sadhu Na Bhookha Jaye."
 
Meaning: Give me only so much, O God, that it suffices to
fulfil the needs of my clan, I should not suffer cravings, nor
should my visitor go unfed."
 
8. What Use Is It To Be Aloof?
"Bada Hua To Kya Hua, Jaise Ped Khajoor Panthi Ko Chaya
Nahin, Phal Laage Atidoor."
 
Meaning: "Of what use is eminence, to be like a tall date tree?
It neither offers shade to travellers, nor is its fruit easy to
reach!"

to all, Wishing neither friendship, nor enmity, with anyone!"
 
11. Love, The Biggest Teacher
"Pothi Padh Padh Kar Jag Mua, Pandit Bhayo Na Koye,
Dhai Akhshar Prem Ke, Jo Padhe So Pandit Hoye."
 
Meaning: "Reading books hasn't made anyone wiser. But the
One who has experienced even the first flush of love, knows
more about Life than a learned man."
 
12. Love Stories Are Sweet
"Akath Kahani Prem Ki, Kuch Kahi Na Jaye,
Goonge Keri Sarkara, Baithe Muskae."
 
Meaning: "Inexpressible is the story of love, no one can fully
describe what it feels like, Similar to the dumb guy who has
eaten sweet sugar, he can only smile to show his pleasure."

"Chinta Aisee Dakini, Kaat Kaleja Khaye,
Vaid Bichara Kya Kare, Kahan Tak Dawa Lagaye."
 
Meaning: "Worry is such a thief, it eats away at one's heart.
What can the poor doctor do when his medicine cannot cure
this ailment?"
 
14. Why So Proud?
"Kabira Garv Na Keejiye, Uncha Dekh Aavaas,
Kaal Pairon Punyah Letna, Uper Jamsi Ghaas."
 
Meaning: "Kabir, don't be so proud and vain, living in your
high mansion. Tomorow, you'll be lying beneath the ground,
with grass growing on top that animals will chew."
 
15. Do Good
"Jab Tun Aaya Jagat Mein, Log Hanse Tu Roye,
Aisi Karni Na Kari, Pache Hanse Sab Koye."
 
Meaning: "When you came into this world, everyone
laughed while you cried. Don't do such work during this
Life, that they laugh when you are gone."
