To day's Subhashi

     Here is another Subhashit about the relationship between a Guru and his Shishya (student), emphasising that the student must have reverance towards his Guru and should serve him diligently .

शुश्रूषारहिता विद्या यद्द्पि मेधागुणैः  समुपयाति  |
बन्ध्येव यौवनवती  न  तस्य  विद्या फलवती      ||

Sushrushaa rahitaa vidyaa yaddyapi medhaagunaih samupayaati.
Bandhyeva  youvanavatee  na  tasya  vidyaa   phalavatee.

Sushrooshaa = service with reverence.     Rahitaa = without.       Vidyaa = learning, knowledge.
Yaddyapi = although.    Medhaa = intelligence.      Guna = quality.     Samupayaati = acquires.
Bandhyeva = Bandhyaa + iva.      Bandhya = an infertile woman.    Iva = like a ,similar to.
Youvanwati = a young and beautiful woman.      Na = not.     Tasya = his/her.
Phalavatee =  successful, fruitful, beneficial.

i.e.       Knowledge acquired without serving the Guru with reverence, although makes a person intelligent,such learning is not beneficial and fruitful to him, just like a beautiful woman who is infertile and can not beget a child.
