Today's Subhashita.

अधिष्ठानं  समिच्छन्ति  ह्यचलं  निर्बले सति  |
संसारे सर्वभूतानां   तृणबिन्दुवदस्थिरे           ||

अर्थ -      निर्बल व्यक्ति सतत्  यही कामना करते हैं कि वे सर्वदा सुखपूर्वक जीवन यापन करें , परन्तु उन्हें यह विदित नहीं होता है कि इस संसार में  सभी प्राणीमात्र  का जीवन एक तिनके की नोक पर स्थित जल  की एक बूंद के समान अस्थिर है  (जो कभी भी गिर सकती है ) |

Adhishthaanaam samicchanti hyachalam nirbale sati,
Sansaare sarvabhootaanaaam trunabinduvadasthire.

Adhishthaanam = abode, support.     Samicchanti = sam+icchanti.     sam = together.
Icchanti =  desire, wish.      Hyachalam = hi =achalam.     Hi = surely.    Achalam = constantly,
steadily.         Nirbale =  weak, powerless.     Sansare =  in this World.    Sarvabhootaanaam =
all living beings.    Trunabinduvadasthire = trunabinduvat +ashhire.    Trunavinduvat = like a drop
of water at the end of a grass blade.     Asthire = shaking, unstable. uncertain.

i.e.        Weak and powerless persons always desire that they live  a constantly happy life, but they have no idea that all living beings in this World live in uncertainty like a drop of water at the end of a grass blade, which can drop at any time.
