Procrastination and Patience

 Procrastination and Patience

There are two beautiful and famous Doha of Sant Kabir

The first one :

कल करे सो आज कर, आज करे सो अब।
पल मैं परलय होएगी, बहुरि करेगा कब।।

Second Doha says:

धीर धीरे रे मना, धीरे सब कुछ होय।
माली सींचे सौ घड़ा रुत आए फल होय।।

These two Doha appeared contradicting to each other, however with careful learning and understanding i realized the difference between them. the difference between theses two Doha is same as that between procrastination and patience.

The first Doha talks about procrastination (to be avoided) and the second Doha is teaching patience (to be developed).

This is amazing to see that at that age Sant Kabir ji had the clear distinction of procrastination and patience.
