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.

Kheera ko munh kaati ke, maliyat lon lagaaye,
Rahiman karue mukhan ko, chahiyat ihe sajaaye.

Meaning: Just as cucumber is cut from top and
then rubbed with salt to clear it's bitterness,
same way one should penalize people
who iterate bitter words.

रहिमन कुटिल कुठार ज्यों, करि डारत द्वै टूक
चतुरन को कसकत रहे, समय चूक की हूक

Details:
Those who do not value time and miss an opprtunity will only repent.
As a sharp axe cuts wood into two, same way a missed opportunity
gives pain in heart of intelligent people and they keep repenting
through rest of their lives but time doesn't comes back.
To do anything thing is better then current time.
If you want to do something do it now.

Kabir mulan munare kia chareh, Sain na bahira hoi
ja karan tu baang deh, dil hi bhitar joi

Saikh saboori bahra, kia huj kabe jai
Kabir ja ki dil sabat nahin, ta kau kahan Khudai

Kabir Allah ki kar bandagi, jih simrat dukh jai
dil mahi Sain pargate bujhe balanti nai.

Kabir meri jaat ko sab ko hasne-haar
balihaari is jaat ko jit japeo sirjin-haar..

Kaha bharosa deh ka, binasi jaaye chinn maanhi
saans saans sumiran karo, aur jatan kachu naahin..

Sabe rasaayan hum piya, prem samaan na koye
ranchak tan mein sanchare, sab tan kanchan hoye..
