The verse and its meaning · Suvichar · Suvichar — Kabir
Fish Still Smells
Kabir
न्हाये धोये क्या हुआ, जो मन मैल न जाय ।
मीन सदा जल में रहै, धोये बास न जाय ॥
Meaning · English
What is the use of bathing if the mind's dirt does not go? The fish lives in water always, and still its smell does not wash out.
अर्थ · हिन्दी
नहाने-धोने से क्या हुआ जब मन का मैल नहीं गया। मछली सदा पानी में रहती है, फिर भी उसकी गंध नहीं जाती।
