Dohas of Saint Kabir ji (संत कबीरदास जी के दोहे )

Bada hua to kya hua, jaise ped khajoor
Panthi ko chaya nahin, phal laage atidoor

If you are big so what?  just like a date tree
No shade for travelers, fruit is hard to reach

Being bid, important, powerful, wealthy is of no consequence - Kabir likens this to a date tree that does not give shade to the traveller and its fruit is out reach. 

yahan Kabeer sahab kah rahe hain ki hamari padhai likhai,unnati,sampannta ke asli manak hamari vinamrata,dayalutata tha  auron ke prati sadbhaav hai.Jaise ki koi ooncha ped haa par agar yaatrigan usse chhanv nahi pate to uski oonchaayi nirarthak hai.

 

Jaise til mein tel hai, jyon chakmak mein aag
Tera sayeen tujh mein hai, tu jaag sake to jaag

Like the oil is inside the seed, Just as the Fire is Inside the Flint stone

Your God is Inside you, If you have the Power to Wake Up, then wake Up

God is within, like the oil in the seed - wake up if you have the power to. 

Yahan  Kabeer sahab kah rahe hain ki shareer ko hi apna maan lene se vyakti ko dukh milte hain kyunki ye naashwaan hai parantu isi ke andar jeevatma jo parmaatma ka ansha hai bhi hai.Islie jaise til me tel hota hai usi tarah sadhak ko chahiye ki vo apne swaroop athaart aatma me isthit hoke swayam hi swayam ko praapt kar le.

 

Maya mari na mann mara, mar mar gaye shareer
Asha trishna na mari, keh gaye das Kabir

Neither maya died, nor the mind died, die and die again People/Bodies
Hope and delusion have not died, so said Das Kabir and left

 Kabir observes the world from within, and sees the world as Maya - illusion. It is projected by Mun, the mind, the collective mind. Shareer refers to the living body or living person.Kabir ji says that its hard to control the maind and the desire and without controlling these one can not attain the peace.

Yahan Kabir sahab kahte hain ki shareer bhale khatm ho jata hai parantu insaan ki ikchhaayen nahi martin aur jiski vajah se vo kabhi bhi brahm ko nahi pa pata.Yahan vo isi baat par zor de rahe hain ki hume apne mann ko niyantrit rakhna chahiye va is vinaashsheel sansaar ki apekchha avinashi parmaatma me aasakti rakhni chahiye.

 

 

Pothi padh padh  jag mua, pandit bhayo na koye
dhai aakhar prem ke, jo padhe so pandit hoye

Reading Books and Scriptures everyone died, No one became Pandit
Two and Half Words of Love, Who ever reads, Pandit he becomes

Forget about book learning, no matter how many books you read, you won't become wise, you won't became the Pundit. A few words of love and you'll become Pundit,a real wise person.

Kabeer sahab kahte hain ki bahut saara gyaan ekatrit karne ke baad bhi agar hum kisi ko dukh dete hain to hum abhi gyaani nahi hue kyunki Eeshwar ke banaye is jagat me vohi budhhimaan hai jo uske banaye insaano se prem rakhta hai.

                                                                                              

 

Chinta aisee dakini, kat kaleja khaye
Vaid bichara kya kare, kahan tak dawa lagaye

Worry is such a Thief, it eats one's heart
What can the poor doctor do, How far will his medicine reach?

 

Kabir Ji says that one can get nothing by being worried therefore Don't worry, be happy. Instead of being worried in earthly things one should remember the Supreme and see hi grace and become always happy.

Kabir ji kahte hain ki chinta chita ke samaan hai athaart iska koi ilaaj nahi hai kyunki naashwaan is sansaar me saare sukh sansaar ki tarah hi anitya hain athaart samaapt ho jate hain atah unme anand nahi balki vyakti dukh hi uthaata hai.Parantu jo har taraf Parmaatma ki kripa dekhta hai vo chinta nahi chintan karta hai athaart Parmaatma ka bhajan,satsang karta hai,isliye hume chinta nahi chintan karna chahiye.
