Today's Subhashita.

अपि शास्त्रेषु कुशला लोकाचार विवर्जिता |
सर्वे ते हास्यतां यान्ति यथा ते मूर्ख पण्डिताः ||

अर्थ -       विभिन्न शास्त्रों में कुशल व्यक्ति  भी यदि  सामाजिक व्यवहार
से रहित हों  तो ऐसे व्यक्तियों   की सभी लोग  हंसी उडाते है  कि मानो
वे मूर्ख पण्डित  हों |

 Api shaastreshu kushalaa lokaachaar vivarjitaa.
Sarve tey haasyaataam yaanti  yathaa tey moorkha panditaah |

Api = even if.    Shaastreshu = various scriptures and treatises of
 various disciplines of learning.       Kushalaa = experts, well versed .
Lokaachaar = general  social customs prevalent in the society.
Vivarjitaa = deprived of or not having.    Sarve = everyone.
Tey = they      Haasyaataam = laughing stock, a victim of ridicule.
Yaanti = become.   Yathaa = as if.   Moorkhapandita = a learned fool.

i.e.       Those persons who are not well versed in proper social behaviour,
even if they are expert in the  scriptures and various disciplines of
learning, are ridiculed by everyone and treated as learned fools.
