To day's Subhashita.

तृणं  ब्रह्मविदः  स्वर्गस्तृणं  शूरस्य  जीवितम्  |
जिताSक्षस्य तृणं नारी निस्पृहस्य तृणं जगत् ||

Trunam brahmavidah swargastrunam shoorasya jeevitam.
Jitaakshasya trunam naari nisprahasya trunam jagat.

Trunam = a blade of grass, insignificant like a blade of grass.    Brahmavidah = a Vedic philosopher having communion with Brahman i.e Supreme God.      Swargastrunam = Swarga +trunamm.
Swarga = Heaven.      Shoorasya = a warrior's.     Jeevitam= one's life.    Jitaaksha = a person who has
full control over his senses.     Jitakshasya = a 'jitaksha' person's.     Naari = woman.
Nispraha = a person having no aspirations.     Nisprahasya - a 'nisprah' person's.    Jagat = this world.

i.e.     For a Vedic philosopher having communion with 'Brahman', a place in the Heaven is insignificant like a blade of grass,  so also his own life for a brave warrior.   For a person having full control over his senses, attraction towards women is insignificant, and for a person who has subdued his desires and has no aspirations, this world is insignificant.
