Today's Subhashita.

अप्रियस्यापि  वचसः परिणामविरोधिनः  |
वक्ता श्रोता च यत्रास्ति रमन्ते तत्र संपदः ||

अर्थ -       जिस समाज में सुनने मे अप्रिय परन्तु विपरीत परिणाम देने वाली (हितकारी )
सलाह देने  वाले निर्भीक स्पष्टवक्ता  तथा  उसे  सुनने तथा  अनुपालन करने वाले लोग
होते हैं ,वह्  समाज  सुखी और  समृद्ध  होता है  |

(प्रायः यह् देखा गया है कि समाज  के शासकवर्ग को सही  परन्तु अप्रिय राय देने का साहस
करने वाले मंत्री और कर्मचारी बहुत कम  होते है और शासकवर्ग भी प्रिय परन्तु गलत परिणाम
देने वालॆ राय  को ही सुनना पसंद करता है |  इसी लिये संत तुलसीदास जी  ने भी कहा है  -
 'मंत्री  गुरु अरु वैद्य जों प्रिय बोलहिं भय आस | राज धर्म तन तीनि कर होइ वेगहीं  नाश ||'
उपर्युक्त सुभाषित इसी तथ्य को प्रतिपादित करता है )

Apriyasyaapi vachasah  parinaamavirodhinah.
Vaktaa shrotaa yatraasti ramante tatra sampadah.

Apriyasyaapi = apriyasya _ api.    Apriyasya = not giving pleasure, not liked.
Vachasah =  a statement.     Parinaama = result.     Virodhinah= opposite.
Vakta = the speaker.     Shrotaa = the listener.   Cha = and.    Yatraasti =yatra+
asti.     Yatra = where.    Asti = exist , are.    Ramante =  enjoy.    Tatra = there.
Sampadah = wealth, prosperity.

i.e.    In a society where there are persons who have the courage to give statements
which are not liked but the result of which is just the opposite ( beneficial) and there
are also persons who listen to them and act accordingly, there is prosperity and affluence
all around.

(Generally the ruling class is surrounded by such persons who do not have the courage
to apprise them with the real problems and the rulers are also not inclined to listen to any
adverse opinion, resulting in miseries. A Hindu Poet Sant Tulsidas has in a couplet
stated that if the Minister, Guru and a Vaidya (doctor) hide the bitter truth and speak
pleasingly, then this results in the destruction of the kingdom, Dharma (morality) and the
patient. This Subhashita also underlines this fact in a positive way.)
