Kabira Khara Bazaar Mein, Mange Sabki Khair
Na Kahu Se Dosti, Na Kahu Se Bair

Translation

Kabira in the market place, wishes welfare of all
Neither friendship nor enmity with anyone at all

My Understanding

Kabir, the professional weaver, visited the market place to sell his woven goods. Now selling is a competitive affair and all kinds of strategies are adopted by merchants to make the extra buck. Sometimes the strategy can even be a dirty trick or a scam.

In this doha, as is his style, Kabir without saying much, presents a balanced approach. He seems to affirm that while conducting one's business, one need not adopt tricky means and should not become emotional. An honest deal does not warrant the businessman to become either friendly with one's clientele nor develop any malice. This is one of the important maxims of Do's and Don'ts of any progressive business.

From spiritual and mystic point of view, Bazaar is a reference to the world itself where give and take, is the mechanism of dealings...i.e. all relationships at the physical level are conditional and based on business-like (not literally business) transactions. So Kabir is giving us an idea of how we experience ups and downs due to attachments - i.e. due to strong feelings towards or against things. And he says the best way to avoid that is by being in a state of acceptance and detachment

Comments on this Doha
Comment Kabir indicates the world as bazaar.Every person active in selling and purchasing the goods,talking in favor and against any one,talking about those things which are unstable like this world and like so etc. etc. But despite standing in bazaar,Kabir is not affected by such activity.He stands there like a Lotus in the dense mud.

Comment This is the Correct interpretation of Professionalism.

You are asking for what you deserve actually (not self appraised or over/under estimated).

No reconsideration due to any friendship or enmity while on duty.

Comment As the high tide and the low tide,

as the day passes and the night come,

as the summer goes and rains come,

as the feeling of happiness goes and sadness come,

as the bad times go and the good times come,


one has to understand the behavior of the nature and be constant with his emotions having too much of attachment may give pain later and too much of enmity will give you danger.

Be consistent and control your emotions and people will like you but you be detached but don't be selfish.

Be helpful help others but don't get attached.

Comment A very good explanation of the said Doha. This has more meaning from Spritual angle that is to have detached attachment with the worldly things including men.

Comment Guru kabira ko Pranaam,,,
Aap ki yeh web site dekhi , bahut khushi huyi....Guru Kabir Das ji per kuchh likhta rahta hu...aaj aap ko padha...
Kshama chahata hu....kuchh likh raha hu...is dohe per....
Yeh sansaar ek baajar hai...aur sab kharidaar... yaha panch indriyon se lage dosh bhi apnani manmohkta liye bikau hai...jinme her ras, rang, khusboo hai....ab Kabir das ji khair magte hai ki koyi inhe kharid na le....(dwesh paida karne wale, karm). AAge khas baat yeh hai ki...bina in indriyo ke upyog kiye jivan to chal na sake,,,inliye Kabir das ji kahte hai...inse na jyada dosti ,,, na jyada doori / dusmaani....
bas yahi mere vichaar hai... aur bhi hai...likhunga
Dhanyawaad... aapka bahut aabhar
