धीरे-धीरे रे मना , धीरे सब कुछ होय। माली सींचे सौ घड़ा , ॠतु आए फल होय॥
— Kabir
Meaning
O mind, everything will happen slowly. Just as the gardener waters a hundred pots, the fruit ripens only when the season arrives.
Explanation
Kabir reminds us that everything unfolds in its own time, addressing the mind with gentle patience. The core metaphor lies in the gardener and the fruit: endless watering is useless without the right season. This couplet is a profound lesson in surrender, teaching that persistent effort must be paired with trust in divine timing.
