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 or 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

WRONG interpretation |

Kabir is not a business minded person. He is a spiritualist. In the market place he is refering to worldly matters. He means that we are all souls with a body. Where then is the difference! |

This site is very good, but this doha is not complete. "Na kahu se dosti na kahu se bair, Gyan ki Alakh jagave bhula bhatka ho koi rah taahi batlave. Beech sadak ke maahi gran ka maare danda, Bin paise bin daam jhuth ka fode banda." |

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. |

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. |

Very good site. Really greatful to eveyone involved in contributing and compiling and publishing the Kabir Dohe. Arvindlji, Bahut dhanyavaad apke vicharon ke liye. Lekin kafi samay se kuch nahin likha- intejaar hai. |

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. |

waaah kya dohe hai ............. |

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. |
