अर्थस्य निश्चयो दृष्टो विचारेण हितोक्तितः ।
न स्नानेन न दानेन प्राणायामशतेन वा ॥ ६१
न स्नानेन न दानेन प्राणायामशतेन वा ॥ ६१
Arthasya
nishchayo drushto vicharena hitoktitah ।
Na
snanena na danena pranayaamashatena va ॥
The
meanings of wise sayings are revealed only on deep thinking. Not by bathing, or
by giving charity or by doing a hundred breathing exercises.
अन्नदानं परं दानं विद्यादानमतः परम् ।
अन्नेन क्षणिका तृप्तिर्यावज्जीवं च विद्यया ॥ ६२
Anna danam param danam vidya danamatah param |
Annena kshanika truptihryaavajjIvam cha vidya ||
Giving food is great charity, giving education is greater
charity
Food gives momentary satisfaction, education gives value throughout life.
उद्यमेन हि सिध्यन्ति कार्याणि न मनोरथैः
।
न हि सुप्तस्य सिंहस्य प्रविशन्ति मुखे मृगाः ।। ६३
Udyamena hi sidhyanti karyani na manorathaih |
Na hi suptasya simhasya pravishanti mukhe mrigah ||
Any work gets accomplished by hard work and not just by desires.
Animals do not enter the mouth of a sleeping
lion by themselves.
अभिमानो धनमेषां चिरजीवन्ति ते जनाः ।
अभिमानविहितानां किं धनेन किमायुषाः ॥ ६४
Abhimano dhanamesham chirajeevanti te janah |
Abhimanavihitanam kim dhanena kimayusha ||
संग्रहैकपरः प्रायः समुद्रोऽपि रसातले ।
दातारं जलदं पश्य गर्जंतं भुवनोपरि ॥ ६५
दातारं जलदं पश्य गर्जंतं भुवनोपरि ॥ ६५
samgrahaikaparah prayah samudro api rasatale ।
dataram jaladam pashya garjantam bhuvanopari ॥
dataram jaladam pashya garjantam bhuvanopari ॥
One who hoards will always be at the bottom –
like the ocean bottom, the collector of gems and precious stones. On the other
hand, one who gives to others will always be on top – like the clouds that roar
on top of the world.
