Today's Subhashita.

अन्नदानं  परं  दानं  विद्या  दानं   अतः परम्  |
अन्नेन क्षणिका तृप्तिः यावज्जीवं  च विद्ययो ||

अर्थ -        अन्न दान करना करना एक उत्कृष्ट दान माना  जाता है और इसी प्रकार विद्या दान  (किसी
सुपात्र व्यक्ति को बिना मूल्य लिये शिक्षित करना) भी उत्तम है | परन्तु जहां अन्नदान प्राप्त करने वाले व्यक्ति को बहुत थोडे समय के लिये ही  तृप्ति होती है विद्या दान प्राप्त करने वाले को यह्  तृप्ति जीवनपर्यन्त  रहती है |

Anna daanam param daanam vidyaa danaam atah param .
annena kshinikaa truptih yaavajjeevam cha vidyayo.


Annadaan = serving food as  charity.    Param = of a high degree.    Daan = donation, charity.
Vidya daan = making  a person learned by teaching him for free.     Atah = so also.    
Annena = by the food.     Kshanikaa = momentary.   Truptih = satisfaction, contentment.     Yaavajjeevam = lifetime.    cha = and.    Vidyayo = by becoming learned.

i.e.       Serving food to the needy is a charity of high order and so also teaching some one free of charge.    Whereas food gives momentary satisfaction to the recipient,  the satisfaction of becoming learned remains with the recipient throughout his lifetime.
