Today's Subhashita.naasau

भवितव्यं यथा येन नासौ भवति चान्यथा |

नीयते तेन मार्गेण स्वयं वा तत्र गच्छति  ||

अर्थ -         किसी व्यक्ति के भाग्य में जो भी निर्धारित  होता है उसी 

 के अनुसार घटनायें होती हैं  और उस से हट कर और कुछ  नहीं होता है |

भाग्य स्वयं उसके पास  नहीं  आता है परन्तु  वह्  व्यक्ति स्वयं उस
निर्धारित मार्ग पर चल कर अपने भाग्य को भोगता है |

(इस सुभाषित की भावना को गोस्वामी तुलसीदास जी ने 'रामायण  के 

इस दोहे में बडे ही सुन्दर रूप में व्यक्त किया है :-

      तुलसी जसि भवितव्यता तैसी मिलइ सहाइ |

      आपुनु  आवइ ताहि पहिं  ताहि तहां लै जाइ  ||   बाल काण्ड -159 (ख )

Bhavitavyam yatha yena naasau bhavati chaanyathaa.

Neeyate tena maargena svayam vaa tatra gacchati.

Bhavitavyam = an action that is destined to happen

Yatha = whatever    Yena = where.   Naasau = na 

asau.    Na = not.    Asau =.such.   Bhavati = happens.

Chaanyathaa = otherwise.    Neeyate = comes down to\

Tena = that.   Maargena = road.     Svyam = himself.

vaa = you          Tatra = there.   Gacchati = goes. 

i.e.    Whatever is destined for  a person is bound to happen and

nothing else can happen.  Destiny does not come to that person but 

forces the person concerned to take that route where he can meet

his destiny.

(This shloka has also been adopted by Goswami Tulsidas, the author of 'Ramcharit Manas' in his treatise in this way :- तुलसी  जसि भवितव्यता तैसी मिलइ सहाय | आपुनु आवइ ताहि पहिं ताहि तहां लेइ जाइ | i.e. A person gets counsel or help which is destined for him. Destiny does not come to a person, but the person is forced by circumstance to go (act in such a way) and meet his destiny. This has been said in the episode of the King Pratapbhanu and his meeting with his enemy, now living in exile in the garb of a sage.)
