Today's Subhashita.


असंपन्नः कथं   बन्धुरसहिष्णु  कथं   प्रभुः |
अनात्मवित्कथं विद्वानसन्तुष्ट कथं सुखी ||  - महासुभषित सं ग्रह  (३६२६)

अर्थ -     जो  व्यक्ति व्यवहार कुशल तथा योग्य नहीं हो तो भला उसके   मित्र
तथा बान्धव क्यों  होंगे, और  यदि वह् असहिष्णु (झगडालू तथा धैर्य रहित )
हो तो कैसे वह् एक उच्च पदस्थ और अधिकारसंपन्न व्यक्ति हो सकेगा  ?
जो व्यक्ति सामान्य ज्ञान से भी रहित हो तो कैसे वह् एक विद्वान हो सकता
है और सदैव असंतुष्ट रहने वाला व्यक्ति भला कभी सुखी हो सकता है ?

Asampannah katham bandhurasahishnu katham prabhuh.
Anaatmavitkatham vidvaanasantusht katham sukhee.

Asampanna = unaccomplished, not talented and able.    Katham =
how ?     Bandhurasahishnu = bandhuh +asahishnu.      Bandhuh =
friends, relatives.     Asahishnu =impatient, quarrelsome.envious.
Prabhuh = a powerful person, a master.    Anatmavit= a person
not having common sense.      Vidvaanasantushtah = vidvaan +
asantushtah.     Vidvaan = a learned person, a scholar.
Asantushtah = unhappy, discontented.    Sukhi = happy.

i.e.       How can a person without any talent and ability have support of his
friends and relatives  and person who is quarrelsome and impatient become
an able administrator and employer ?   Likewise, how can a person without
commonsense become a learned person and a discontented person ever
become happy ?
