पर
वाच्येषु निपुणः सर्वो भवति सर्वदा ।
आत्मवाच्यं
न जानीते जानन्नपि च मुह्यति ॥ १३६
Para vachyeshu nipunah sarvo bhavati sarvada ।
Atmavachyam na janite janannapi cha muhyati ॥
Everyone is an
expert in finding out faults\shortcomings of another person. One either does not
know one's own faults or even after knowing prefers to keep quiet about it.
अप्रकटीकृतशक्तिः
शक्तोऽपि जनस्तिरस्क्रियां लभते ।
निवसन्नन्तर्दारुणि
लङ्घ्यो वह्निर्न तु ज्वलितः ॥ १३७
Aprakatikrutashaktih shakto api janastiraskriyam labhate ।
Nivasannantardaruni langhyo vahnirna tu jvalitah ॥
Might and strength of a
powerful person is ignored if he does not reveal it. Nobody is bothered about
energy that is stored in the log of wood. But when the same log of wood is
aflame, everyone takes note of it.
विरलाः
जानन्ति गुणान् विरलाः कुर्वन्ति निर्धने स्नेहम् ।
विरलाः
परकार्यरताः परदुःखेनापि दुखिताः विरलाः ॥ १३८
Viralah jananti gunan viralah kurvanti nirdhane sneham ।
Viralah parakaryatah paradukhenapi dukhitah viralah ॥
Very few
appreciate good qualities in others or make friends with the poor; fewer still
help others and those who are saddened by suffering of others are ever rarer.
कार्यमण्वपि
काले तु कृतेत्युपकारताम् ।
महदप्युपकारोऽपि
रिक्ततामेत्यकालतः ॥ १३९
Karyamanvapi kale tu krutetyupakaratam ।
Mahadapyukaro api riktatametyakalatah ॥
Even a small
work done for somebody is very helpful if done at the proper time. But a major
favour done for others when the time has passed will be in vain.
आरोप्यते
शिला शैले यत्नेन महता यथा ।
पात्यते
तु क्षणेनाधस्तथात्मा गुणदोषयोः ॥ १४०
Aropyate shila shaile yatnena mahata yatha ।
Patyate tu kshanenadhastathatma gunadoshayoh ॥
It is difficult
to lift a rock to the peak of a hill but it's very easy to roll it down in a
second. Similarly, it is difficult task to induce noble thoughts in person's
mind but very easy to induce bad habits in him.
