A Subhashita A Day

अक्षरद्वयम् अभ्यस्तं नास्ति नास्ति इति यत् पुरा |
तद् इदं देहि देहि इति विपरीतम् उपस्थितम् ||

If the person at the peak of his wealth says ‘No No’ to the poor and needy person then be assured that in future that person will have to say ‘Give Give’!!
Once  a  Man  asked  GOD.. Why  you  don’t  fulfill  my  wishes  if  you  are  everywhere..?

GOD  replied.. I am  like  WiFi  my  Child.. I am  available  everywhere  but  you  need  to  connect  with  me  with  a  Correct  Password..

And the “password” is :    *FAITH*.

अन्यक्षेत्रे कॄतं पापं पुण्यक्षेत्रे विनश्यति |
पुण्यक्षेत्रे कॄतं पापं वज्रलेपो भविष्यति ||

The bad work (‘pApa’) done in other places get vanished in the holy places. In contrast the same bad deeds committed in the holy places gets inscribed on the rocks – unwashable!! The lesson is that the purest and sacred atmosphere of the holy places will transform a person and make him repent on his earlier sins! But if at all a person does commit sin in such place then it can never be forgived for having polluted the greatness of

A few traditional Sanskrit Subhashitas/Nitis about the hoarded wealth, nowadays called *black money* in light of #DeMonetisation_

*दानं भोगो नाशस्तिस्त्रि गतयो भवंति वित्तस्य*
*यो न ददाति न भुङ्क्ते तस्य तृतीया गतिर्भवति*

_Only in these 3 ways does all money end up: 1) Enjoyment 2) Donation and if you don’t do either of these two, then the 3. Destruction. So, don’t hoard your money. Either donate it or enjoy it while it lasts, because by default it is the number 3._

*अति संचय कर्त्रिणां वित्तमंस्य कारणं।*
*अन्यै: संचीयते यत्नादन्यैशच मधु पीयते।।*

_Hoarded money goes waste. Like Honey gathered by bees so painstakingly, is only enjoyed by others!_

*उपभोगकातराणां पुरुषानां अर्थसंचय परायणानां,*
*कन्यारत्नमिव गृहे तिष्ठंत्यार्था: परस्यार्थे।*

_Greedy people hoard their cash not knowing it is like raising daughter: you bring them up with love, only to go to someone else’s household. So is hoarded cash._

*संचितं क्रितुषु नोपयुज्यते याचितं गुणवते न दीयते।*
*तत् कदर्य परिककरक्षितं धनं चौरपार्थिव गृहेषु गच्छति।*

_The hoarded money neither spent for one’s enjoyment nor donated to a worthy cause, is only waiting to either rot in the belly of earth or to go to the houses of thieves. Don’t hoard: enjoy or donate._

*गौरवं प्राप्यते दानात् न तु वित्तस्य संचयात्।*
*स्थिति: उच्चै: पयोदानां पयोधीनां अध:।*

_No Glory in accumulating but only in giving.  See how the clouds that give rain, are roaring from high above, while the sea that only collects is seated at the bottom!_

*यो वह्याशार्जितार्थसन्न कुर्वंस बहुधा वृषं।*
*दोषी वांछान्निव स्वास्थ्यं भुक्त्वैवापथ्यमौषधं।*

_Corrupt’s money is as useless even if donated as medicine to that patient who does not follow the prescribed dietary restrictions._

*यथा वृष्टि: समुद्रेषु तृप्तस्य भोजनं।*
*वृथा दानं समर्थस्य वृथा दीपो दिवापि च।*

_Like Rain over seas, like food to someone not hungry, like lamp during day – wasted like that is money given to rich._

*सत्पुरुषोर्जायति धनं यत् सकलजनेष्ट साधुवृध्धश्चैव स्यात्।*
*तस्य धनस्य च हानिर्नानुपहत धर्म बल सुगुप्तस्यैव।*

_legitimate money earned by honest people and noble businessmen never exhausts, never meets loss, and is nevcer stolen. For, if honest money serves Dharma, Dharma too protects honest money.
