क्षमा बड़े न को उचित है , छोटे को उत्पात। कहा विष्णु का घटि गया , जो भुगु मारीलात॥ 241॥
— Kabir
Meaning
Forgiveness is appropriate for the great, but it is an outrage for the small. To claim that Vishnu's pot has emptied is a foolish boast.
Explanation
This couplet offers a profound lesson on humility and perspective. The Shayar Kabir suggests that forgiveness is a virtue reserved for the genuinely great, while the small-minded often resort to unnecessary outbursts. The metaphor of 'Vishnu's pot' represents immense, ultimate power or truth. Kabir cautions us against making grandiose claims or showing excessive pride about anything, highlighting the folly of such boasts.
