St Kabeer's Couplets 25: Trim Anything Extreme

No good garrulous gushing sans latch, Nor ever all glued up lips as such, Nor is good too much rain, Nor ever too much sun, Much like touch, one need know how much's much. ___________________________________________________________ Given here under is the original couplet in Hindi script, and its transliteration in English Roman. अति का भला न बोलना, अति की भली न चूप, अति का भला न बरसना, अति की भली न धूप। Ati kā bhalā na bolanā, ati kī bhalī na chūp, Ati kā bhalā na barasanā, ati kī bhalī na dhūp. St Kabeer says extreme of anything is no good. As too much rain is harmful as much as too little of it; neither too much of jabbering, nor yet too much keeping quiet should be resorted to. One should speak when need be, and in limit. Topic: extreme, rain, sun, silence
