Today's Subhashita.

विद्या  मित्रं  प्रवासेषु  भार्या  मित्रं  गृहेषु  च |
व्याधिस्तस्यौषधं मित्रं धर्मो मित्रं मृतस्य च ||

अर्थ -   विदेश मे प्रवास के समय विद्वत्ता एक मित्र के समान सहायक होती है , और इसी प्रकार सौम्य पत्नी ग्रहस्थ जीवन में  एक  मित्र के  रूप में  सहायक होती है |   शरीर रोगग्रस्त होने पर एक औषधि मित्र स्वरूप होती है और मृत्यु के पश्चात जीवनकाल मे किया हुआ  धार्मिक आचरण ही  मित्र के समान सहायक होता है |

Vidyaa = Knowledge, learning.     Mitra = friend.    Pravaasheshu = away from home, going abroad.
Bhaaryaa = wife.       Graheshu = at home.      Vyaadhistasyaushadham =vyaadhih +tasya= aushadham.
Vyaadhi = illness, disease.    Tasya = its.     Aushadham = medicine.   Dharmo = religious practices.
Mrutasya = a dead person's.  

i.e.     Being learned and knowledgeable helps a person like a friend during his stay in unknown foreign countries,  a devoted wife in his home,  a medicine acts as a friend to cure him from illness and observing a religious  and righteous lifestyle helps as a friend after his death.

( In Hindu Religion it is believed that if a person leads a religious life, after death in his next birth cycle he is born in an illustrious family as the saying goes - शुचीनाम् श्रीमताम्  गेहे योगभ्रष्टोभिजायते  (Sucheenaam shreemataam gehe yogabhrashtobhijaayate) i.e. a person who has practised Yoga, but due to some unforseen reason is not able to continue it,he is born  in his next birth he in an illustrious and rich family.)
