Dohe Quotes

A real story from Konni, Pathanamthitta, Kerala:
A BPL family got water connection. Everyone was happy . The tap never gave any water after initial testing but after 3-4 months a bill of Rs. 480/- came in June 2024. The poor widow lady went to the local water office to complain that she had received a water bill showing meter reading zero. She also told authorities that being a BPL family she was told that no water bill will come.

The officials told her that her connection is yet to be converted to BPL and thus she has to pay the bill. They told that the connection will be converted to BPL in January 2025. Further, they directed her to an engineer. The engineer confirmed that as the water tank is still under construction so no water has been supplied to her as reflected in zero meter reading.

The lady asked them that she wants to surrender the water connection to which the officials told her that then she needs to pay panchayat penalty for agreeing to a water connection and then surrendering it. They told her that they will temporarily disconnect the connection but in case the meter reading will reflect any usage then she will face water theft charges.

Meaning: If someone requests a potter's wheel to make an earthen lamp then it won't but if you will put a stick into it's hole then can make even a pot. Ghosts of kicks not listening to talks..लातों के भूत , बातों से नहीं मानते ..

Loot sake to loot le, ram naam ki loot
fir paache pachtahuge, pran jaahinge chhoot..

Bhala hua meri matki phoot gayi,
main to paneeya bharan se chhoot gayi..

प्राण राम जब निकसन लागे, उलट गई दोउ नयन पुतरिया
भीतर से जब बाहर लाये, छूटि गई सब महल अटरिया
चार जने मिलि खाट उठाइन, रोवत ले चले डगर डगरिया
कहत कबीर सुनो भाई साधो, संग चली बस सूखी लकरिया..

Rahiman gali hain saankri, dujo na tehraahin,
aapu ahhe to hari nahi, hari to aapun nahi.

Meaning: To embrace universal love or God
one has to leave ego aside.
