“Keep your critics near, in the courtyard corner. They purify your nature, without water or soap.”
تنقید کرنے والے کو قریب رکھنا چاہیے، جیسے صحن کے کونے میں جھونپڑی بنانا۔ وہ پانی یا صابن کے بغیر ہی مزاج کو صاف کر دیتا ہے۔
Kabir ji is conveying a deep wisdom here, suggesting we keep our critics near us, like giving them a little corner in our courtyard. Yeh sirf tanqeed bardasht karne ki baat nahin hai; yeh ek tarah ka nazaam hai. Tanqeed ka ehsaas aisa hota hai jo bina pani ya sabun ke hamari rooh ko saaf kar deta hai. Iska matlab hai ke humein naqeed ko ek tohfa samajhna chahiye, kyunki yeh hamein hamesha behtar banne ki himmat deta hai.
