B.N. Dastur
This same generation may not know much about Saint Kabir except his name. Actually Kabir sir was a great management guru. If you understand what Kabirji calls 'Sadhu' as a manager or industrialist, you will be able to relate management with Kabirvani. Hariya jaane rukhda, us pani ka neh, sukha kath na jaani hai, kithu bada meh. Rainwater makes a tree rich, but no matter how much water you pour on dry wood, nothing happens. A person who has no talent, who has no desire to learn will have to be made capable. Sufis say, 'Written iron does not make excellent Samshir.' Kabir Lahari Samudra Ki, Moti Bikhre Ai, Bugula Parakh Na Janai, Hansa Chuni Chuni Khai. The heron does not see the pearls in the sea, the swan eats them. There is a wealth of opportunities in the sea of business. In every success, in every failure there are hidden opportunities. Successful managers deploy their most powerful knowledge workers on opportunities, not problems. If there is no tirath, one fruit, a sadhu gets four fruits, a sadguru gets many fruits, Kabir thought. In today's environment, it is imperative to learn faster than the competition. Bathing in the Tirath of MBA will yield a fruit. A good manager gives four fruits, but a mentor like Kabirji calls Sadguru can give many fruits. Leading companies hire mentors for new hires. The sadhu kahawat kathin na hai, lamba pad khajur, chade to chakhe premaras, girai to chaknachur. This sakhi is written for those who have passed the 'Managing Director' role in their father's company without any skills, just as a son or daughter. Being a manager is not easy. One has to climb a tall palm tree. A manager climbing such a tree without knowledge, skills, experience and talent will destroy the company. Bana pahre singh ka, chalai bhed ki chaal, boli bole shayal ki, kutta khave phal. Hiding his incompetence, overflowing with ego, the manager wears a lion's mask and behaves like a sheep, communicates like a fox. As a result, it is eaten by dogs tomorrow. Jnani se jnani mille, ras ki loot-m-loot, jnani ajnani se mille, hove mathakoot. It has been proven that our creativity flourishes in the presence of creative humans, thanks to the 'mirror neurons' in our brains. Kabir sir's simple sakhi gokhi will help you to decorate your friends' party. Jo ghar prem na chanchare, so ghar jano masan, jaise khal luhar ki, sans lete bin prana. Decorate this sakhi with beautiful embroidery, put it in a nice frame, hang it in the drawing room. A home without love is a crematorium and like a blacksmith's forge, which breathes but does not live. Wow… Kabir Sir Zindabad.
Wednesday's Bodh Nayan Diye Darshan Ko, Shravan Diye Sun Gyan Re, Vadan Diye Harigun Gane Ko, Hat Diye Kar Dan Re. – Kabir
