Valentine’s Day 2024 Kabir Das Ke Dohe: Valentine Week means the week of love, which starts from 7th February and Valentine’s Day is celebrated on 14th February. This day is special for lovers and lovers. ‘Love’ is such a bond of attachment that everyone is bound by. Love, attraction, dedication, attachment can be anything and love can be with anyone. Mother Parvati’s love for Lord Shiva, Meera’s love for Krishna and the devotee’s love for his deity… the definition of love is infinite. Love is both freedom and bondage, love is both gaining and losing. Saint Kabirdas explains this meaning of love very well through his couplets.
Sant Kabir Das was a saint, great thinker and social reformer. He taught us how to live life through his couplets. His couplets are very simple and meaningful. Kabirdas also wrote many couplets on love. In such a situation, when the week of love is going on, let us know Kabir’s couplets on love and their meanings-
pothi padhi padhi jag mua, Pandit bhaya no one,
two and a half years of love, One who studies becomes a Pandit.
Meaning- How many people in the world reached the door of death after reading big books, but no one could become wise. If someone reads only two and a half letters of love properly, then he understands love in reality and becomes truly knowledgeable.
No ghosts are born, no love is sold in the market.
Wherever the king and the people wanted, she took it with her body.
Meaning: Love does not grow in any field nor is it sold in any market. Be it a king or a subject, those who want love have to sacrifice and surrender.
When I was there, I was not Hari, now I am not Hari. The street of love is very narrow, it cannot contain two people.
Meaning: When “I” i.e. my ego resided in this heart, there was no ‘Hari’ in it and now when Hari resides in it, my ego has been destroyed from it. This love lane in the form of a heart is so narrow that only one of the two can fit in.
drink the cup of loveSheesh Dakshina payable.
the greedy could not give the headNaam Prem Ka Ley ॥
Meaning: The one who drinks the cup of love does not hesitate to make the biggest sacrifice for his love, he is even ready to sacrifice his head as Dakshina. But the greedy cannot give up his head and make any sacrifice for his love.
Kabir this Home Love Of, uncle Of Home Nope.
Sis unloaded elephant curry, s / o Pathe Home Mother
Meaning: God’s house is a house of love, it is not an aunt’s house where anyone can enter as per their wish. Only the seeker who takes off his sis and holds it in his hand can enter this house.
Shant Shiromani Kabirdas also gives answers to the questions of what is love, what is not love and how to identify love through these couplets –
1. What is love?
Everyone says love, love, no one knows love.
Love is said to be the path to salvation.
Meaning: Everyone talks about love but no one understands its true form. The true path of love is the one where life becomes free from bondages.
2.What is not love?
If you climb quickly and descend quickly, then there is no love.
Constant love resides in the mind, love says sleep.
Meaning: If you go up or down immediately then it is not love. Love is that which always resides in the mind without changing.
3. How to identify true love?
You are not a lover until you are afraid of dying.
Love’s home is very far away, understand that it is the mother of your mind.
Meaning: As long as there is fear of losing something in the mind, then understand that love is still far away.
