Laghuta mein prabhuta base, prabhuta te prabhu door
Chinti le sakkar chali, haathi ke sir dhoor
लघुता में प्रभुता बसे,प्रभुता ते प्रभु दूर |
चींटी  ले शक्कर चली, हाथी के सर धूर ||
You gain in power by becoming humble
Little ants move with sugar in mouth, mighty elephants in dust bath foul
MEANING
Sant Kabir give example of the little creature ant and the mighty animal elephant. He observes that the ant because of its humility collects sugar to carry home whereas the proud elephant showers on his head dust from road sucked by its trunk
