यथा खनन खनित्रेण भूतले वारि विन्दति |
एवं गुरुगतां विद्यां सुश्रूषुरधिगच्छति |
Yathaa khanan khganitren bhootale vaari vindati.
Evam Gurugattaam vidyaam sushrushuradhigacchati.
Yathaa = for instance, just as. Khanan = digging. Khanitra - a spade or a digging tool.
Bhootale = underground. Vaari = water. Vindati = found, discovered. Evam = similarly, so also.
Gurugattam =Guru + gataam. Guru = A Teacher. Gataam = approached, coming from.
Sushrushadhigacchatiu =suushrushaa + adhigacchati. Sushrushaa = service, showing reverence and obedience.. Adhigacchati = acquired, learnt.
i.e. Just as ground water is found by consistently digging the earth with a spade (digging a well), similarly knowledge is acquired from a teacher by showing reverence and obedience to the teacher .
(In this Subhashit the process of learning has been compared to digging a well to extract ground water.This process requires consistent and strenuous effort and dedication and then only ground water is available In Sanskrit Literature the relationship of a teacher and his student (Guru-Shishya sambandh) is considered very pious and the Guru is revered like a God. Only that learning is considered successful, which is acquired by serving the Guru with reverence and obedience. I will post a few Subhashits on this subject in my next posts)|
