What it means
From Tagore's "Stray Birds": learning needs room for mistakes. Those so afraid of being wrong that they never try also miss the truth.
Meaning in Hindi · हिंदी में अर्थ
टैगोर की "स्ट्रे बर्ड्स" से: सीखने के लिए ग़लतियों की जगह ज़रूरी है। जो ग़लत होने के डर से कोशिश ही नहीं करते, वे सच तक भी नहीं पहुँचते।
