About Me

My photo
I'm a 'thinker' and a 'relater' and I enjoy the little things that life has to offer. I'm passionate about so many things, music and dance are couple of them. There are two quotations that have influenced me greatly, and here they are: 'Sometime in life you will go on a journey; it will be the longest journey you have taken; it is the journey to find yourself.' Here's the other - 'Keep your heart open to dreams; for as long as there's a dream, there is hope, and as long as there is hope, there is joy in living.' So, keep calm and carry on. Love !

Dohas - 2 line hindi sayings

I read DOHAS in hindi class in my school days .. I enjoyed them because they taught me the inner meaning inside those words, and they way my teacher used to tell it was the highlight.

Few Kabir Dohas that I remember really well (taken from the web) -

1.

Kaal Kare So Aaj Kar, Aaj Kare So Ub

Pal Mein Pralaya Hoyegi, Bahuri Karoge Kub

[Tomorrow's work do today, today's work now
if the moment is lost, the work be done how]


2.

Bada Hua To Kya Hua, Jaise Ped Khajoor
Panthi Ko Chaya Nahin, Phal Laage Atidoor


[In vain is the eminence, just like a date tree

No shade for travelers, fruit is hard to reach]



Being big, important, powerful, wealthy is of no consequence. It is like a tall date tree whose fruit is out of reach, and which does not give any shade to the traveler.


3.
Dukh Mein Simran Sab Kare, Sukh Mein Kare Na Koye
Jo Sukh Mein Simran Kare, Tau Dukh Kahe Ko Hoye


[In anguish everyone prays to Him, in joy does none
To One who prays in happiness, how sorrow can come]


4.
Dheere Dheere Re Mana, Dheere Sub Kutch Hoye 
Mali Seenche So Ghara, Ritu Aaye Phal Hoye

[Be Slow O mind, Gardner may water garden a hundred times, but the fruit only comes when the season comes, so will the fruit of life come in its own time. Everything in life happens slowly, in its own time]
