Today's Subhashita.

यावत्स्वस्थमिदं देहं यावन्मृत्युश्च दूरतः |

तावदात्महितं  कुर्यात् प्राणान्ते किं करिष्यसि ||

अर्थ -      जब तक तुम्हारा  शरीर स्वस्थ है और मृत्यु दूर है , तब तक अपने आत्महित के  

सभी कार्य  सम्पन्न कर लो क्योंकि मृत्यु होने पर उन्हें कैसे  कर पाओगे  ? 

(यद्यपि इस सुभाषित में किये जाने वाले कार्यों का विवरण नहीं दिया गया है आत्महित 

का तात्पर्य मुख्यतः व्यक्ति की आत्मिक उन्नति के कार्य अर्थात सेवाभाव,सदाचरण तथा 

धर्म का पालन आदि ही होता है, जिसे लोग भविष्य के लिये टाल देते हैं |)

Yaavatsvaasthyamidam deham yaavanmrutyushacha dooratah.

Taavadaatmahitam kuryaat praanante kim karishyasi.

Yaavatsvasthamidam =yaavat  + svastham +idam.    Yaavat =  as long.

Svastham = healthy.    Idam = this,     Deham = body.   Yaavanmrutyushcha=

yaavat +mrutyuh + cha.      Mrutyuh =  death.    Cha= and.    Dooratah =far away.

Taavadaatmahitam = tavat +aatmahitam.    Taavat = meanwhile, until .

Aatmahitam = self interest, one's own interest/      Kuryaat = do.

Praanante =  death.      Kim = what ?     Karishyasi = will do.

i.e.      As long as your body is healthy and the death is still far away, you must 

meanwhile accomplish all the tasks relating to your self interest, because how
will you be able to do them when you will be dead ?

( Although in this Subhashita the tasks to be performed are not outlined, presumably
these are not ordinary day to day tasks, but are those related to spiritual uplift and
religiosity, which, people postpone for the future, )
