To day's Subhashit.


सुखार्थी  वा  त्यजेत विद्याम्   विद्यार्थी वा त्यजेत सुखम्  |
सुखार्थिनः  कुतो  विद्या  कुतो  विद्यार्थिनः  सुखम्            ||

Sukhaarthi wa tyajet vidyaam, Vidyaarthi wa tyajeit sukham.
Sukhaarthino kutah vidya , kuto vidyarthinah sukham.

Sukhaarthi = seeker of pleasures.    Waa = if.      Tyajet = forego, give up.
Vidyaa = knowledge, learning, science.    Vidyaarthi = seeker of learning and knowledge.
Sukham = pleasure.    Kuto = where ?     Vidyaarthinah = students, seekers of knowledge.


i.e. If one is after an easygoing, pleasurable and comfortable lifestyle  then he should better forego persuit of knowledge and learning, and if one is a seeker of learning (a student)) he has to forego comforts. A seeker of comforts can never become a learned person and a  seeker of learning and knowledge can never have an easy going lifestyle.
