Today's Subhashita.

निष्णातोपि च वेदान्तो  वैराग्य   नेति दुर्जनः |
चिरं जलनिधौ मग्नो मैनाक इव मार्दवम्     ||

अर्थ -     वेदान्त में पारंगत होने पर भी दुष्ट व्यक्तियों  का  वैराग्य  के प्रति
कोई आकर्षण  नहीं  होता है  ठीक उसी प्रकार जैसे कि समुद्र के अन्दर डूबा
हुआ मैनाक पर्वत समुद्र से प्रभावित नहीं होता है |

Nishnaatopi = nishnaat + api.     Nishnaat = well versed, expert.
Api = even.     Cha = and.     Vedaanto =  Upanishadas i.e  treatises
on philosiophy in Hindu Religion.    Vairagya = indifference towars
worldly objects and life,  asceticism.  Neti = never.   Durjanah = wicked
and mean person.    Chiram =long time.     Jalanidhau = the Ocean.  
Magno = sunken.    Minaak = name of a mountain said to be sunken in
the Ocean mentioned in Scriptures of Hindu Religion.     Iva = like/
Maardavam = leniency towards.

i.e.       Wicked persons may be well versed in 'Vedaant' ( philosophy)
but they are not at all lenient  towards 'vairaagya', just like the legendary
mountain lying sunken in the Ocean.
