Today's Subhashita.

अलोभः परमं  वित्तं  अहिंसा  परमं  तपः |
अमाया परमा विद्या निरवद्या मनीषिणां ||


अर्थ -    धनवान  होते हुए भी लोभी  न होना ही धनवान होने की श्रेष्ठतम 
स्थिति है और अहिंसा ही  सर्वश्रेष्ठ तपस्या (धार्मिक आचरण ) है | माया (भ्रम 
और कपट )से रहित होना  ही सर्वश्रेष्ठ विद्या (ज्ञान ) है तथा इसी प्रकार सभी
 दोषों और लाञ्छनों से रहित (निष्कलंक) होना ही एक  मनीषि (महान्  व्यक्ति)
 होने का लक्षण है   |

 Alobhh paramam vittam  aimsaa paramam tapah//
Amaayaa paramaa vidyaa nirvadyaa maneeshinaam.

Alobha = absence of greed.   Paramam = absolute. supreme.
Vittam = wealth.    Ahimsaa= non violence.    Tapa = religious
austerity.    Amaayaa = absence of  any type of illusion or deceit .
Paramaa= absolute, supreme.   Vidya = knowledge,learning.
Niravadyaa = blameless, unblemished.  Maneeshinaam =
sages, noble and righteous persons.

i.e.        Not being greedy in spite of being rich is the  absolute form
of wealth, and observance of non violence is also the best form of
religious austerity.   Absence of any type of illusion or deceit is the
absolute form of knowledge one can have.. And similarly having  an
unblemished character is the absolute virtue to qualify as a sage or
a great person.
