Pride Outlives Wealth

Kabir

माया तजी तौ क्या भया, मानि तजि नही जाइ । मानि बड़े मुनियर मिले, मानि सबनि को खाइ ॥

Meaning · English

So you gave up wealth. What of it, if pride is not given up? Pride has met great sages and swallowed every one.

अर्थ · हिन्दी

धन-माया छोड़ दी तो क्या हुआ, अगर अभिमान नहीं छूटा। अभिमान तो बड़े-बड़े मुनियों से मिला और सबको खा गया।
