Dohas of Saint Kabirdas :
1. bada hua to kya hua, jaise ped khajur.,
panthi ko chhaya nahi, fal lage ati duur.
meaning - What is the use of growing big like a palm tree which does not give shade to the traveller and it is difficult to reach the fruits which are very high up. A big person who is not useful to society is no good.
2. dukh mein sumiran sb karen, sukh mein kare na koi,
jo sukh mein sumiran kare, to dukh kahe ko hoi.
meaning - All the people pray to the Lord when they are in trouble but no one prays during happy times. If one prays during good times too bad times may not come at all.
3. ati ka bhala na bolna, ati ka bhala na chup,
ati ka bhala na barasna, ati ka bhala na dhoop.
meaning - It is not good to talk too much, nor is it good to be too silent. Too much rain or sunshine is also not good. Moderate amount of everything is good.
4. sai itna dijiye, jame kutumb samaye,
main bhi bhukha na rahoon, sadhu na bhukha jaye.
meaning - O Lord, give me enough provisions so that I can look after the needs of my family. Give me enough to feed myself and the guest who comes to my house.
5. aisi bani boliye, man ka aapa khoye,
auran ko sheetal kare, aphun sheetal hoye.
meaning - Speak with an open heart without any ego. Your speech should make the listener peaceful and happy. It should have the same influence on you also.
