To day's Subhashit.

गुणयुक्तोSप्यधो याति रिक्तः कूपे यथा घटः  |
निर्गुणोSपि  भृतः पश्य जनैः शिरषि धार्यते     ||

Gunayuktopyadho yaati rikth koope yathaa ghath.
Nirgunopi bhruth pashya janaih shirashi dhaaryate.

Gunayuktopyadho = guna + yukto +api +adho.     Guna = good qualities, virtues, merit.
Another meaning of 'Guna' is a thin rope  used to extract water from a well. In olden times travellers always kept a long string and a small round vessel (called 'Lota-dor') to fetch drinking water from wells and pitchers..     Api = in spite of.     Adho = degraded.      Yaati = gets.      Rikta = empty.
Koop = a well.        Yathaa = for instance.       Ghat = a pitcher.     Nirgunopi = without any qualities.
Bhrutah = a labourer available for hiring.    Pashya = seeing.    Janaih= people,   Shirashi = head.
Dhaaryate = put on.     Shirashi Dhaaryate = readily accept (figuratively speaking)


i.e.     An empty (dry) well or a pitcher although having the provision of a rope ( a ladle in case of a pitcher) is of no use and is treated as degraded . But while hiring a labourer people readily accept him  irrespective of his being unskilled (nirguna).

(The author has skillfully played with the two meanings of the word "Guna"  as stated above. By adding a prefix 'ni' to a word  ( 'un' in the case of English language) the meaning of a word becomes just the opposite. So 'nirguna' means without any good qualities as also without a rope..  A well without any water is termed as 'nirguna'.  Even if a traveller may be having 'guna'  ( lota-dor') with him, a dry well is of no use to him.     While hiring a labourer one does not know whether the labourer is having the desired skill and readily accept him. Later on he may turn out to be a 'nirguna' )
