Today's Subhashita.

अदूरगमनं  तीर्थं  अदेहगमनं  तपः |
अनम्भः संभवं स्नानं मातुष्चरण पङ्कजं ||

अर्थ -    बिना किसी दूरस्थ तीर्थस्थान की यात्रा किये ही  , तप हेतु बिना अपने शरीर को कष्ट दिये बिना  ही ,
तथा बिना जल के स्नान करने से  भी पुण्य प्राप्ति होना संभव हो सकता है  यदि कोई व्यक्ति अपनी माता के चरण कमलों की वन्दना  (सेवा ) करता है |

(प्रकारान्त से इस सुभाषित द्वारा यह्  कहा गया है कि जो शुभ फल अपनी मां की आज्ञापालन और सेवा से प्राप्त होता है वह् तीर्थाटन, तपस्या और स्नान ध्यान द्वारा  प्राप्त फल से भी बडा  है |)

Adooragamanam teertham adehagamanam tapah.
Anambhah sambahvam snaanam maatushcharana pankajam.

Adoor = not distant,  near.       Gamanam = going, visiting.      Teertham = a place of pilgrimage.     Adeha = bodiless.      Tapah = religious austerity, generally done by denying various comforts to the human body.     Anambuh = waterless.    Sambhavam = possibility.     Snaanam =  bath.
Maatushcharana = Maatuh +charana.      Maatuh = mother.    Charana = feet.    Pankajam = lotus.

i.e.        It may  be  possible to achieve 'Punya' by not doing pilgrimage of a far off religious centre, without tormenting one's body for doing 'Tapa', and taking a bath without water , if he worships the lotus like feet of his mother (serves his mother with devotion).

(The above Subhashita indirectly exhorts people to serve their mothers with devotion and diligence, which  will give them 'punya' more than the 'punya' earned by doing pilgrimages of far off religious places, doing  'Tapa' , and daily religious chores like bathing and prayer etc.   'Punya' is a concept of Hindu Religion , which implies that by following a righteous and religious lifestyle, a person earns certain plus points, which  place him in a very comfortable position and status in his next life cycle or even during his lifetime as well. )
