Today's Subhashita.

एकं  चक्षुर्विवेको  हि  द्वितीयं सत्समागमः |
तौ न स्तो  यस्य स क्षिप्रं मोहकूपे  पतेद्ध्रुवं ||

अर्थ -      मनुष्य मे विवेक का होना एक ही नेत्र होने के समान है  और सज्जन तथा विद्वान् व्यक्तियों की संगति में रहना दूसरे नेत्र के समान है | जिस व्यक्ति में ये दोनों विशेषतायें नहीं हैं वह् अवश्य  ही एक अन्धे व्यक्ति के समान ( सही मार्गदर्शन न होने के कारण ) शीघ्र ही मोह रूपी कुवें में गिर जायेगा |

Ekm chakshurviveko hi dviteeyam satsamaagamah.
Tau na sto yasya sa kshripam mohakoope pateddhruvam.

Ekm = one.     Chakshurviveko = chakshu +viveko.     Chakshu = eye.    Viveko = wisdom, prudence.
Hi = surely.     Dviteeeyam =  second part or  the second half of any thing.    Satsamaagamah =  Sat +
samaagamah.     Sat = noble and wise persons.   Samaagamh = keeping the company of.  meeting.
Tau =they both.     Na = not.     Sto = both.   Yasya = whosoever.   Sa = he.     Kshripam = quickly, speedily. mohakoope = moha +koope.    Moha = excessive attachment to any thing, confusion, delusion.  Koope = a well. Pateddhruvam = Patet + dhruvam .     Pastev = falls into.     Dhruvam =  certainly.

i.e.     Wisdom is like having  only one eye by a person and having the other eye is keeping the company of noble and wise persons.  If a person does not possess both these qualities,( in absence of proper guidance) like a blind person he will certainly fall in the well of delusion and infatuation.
