Today's Subhashita.

दूरस्थोSपि  न दूरस्थो  यो यस्य मनसि  स्थितः |

यो  यस्य हृदये  नाSस्ति समीपस्थोSपि दूरतः   ||

अर्थ -      यदि कोई व्यक्ति हमारे  मन में बसा हो (प्रिय हो) तो 

 उसके  दूर होने पर भी वह् दूर  प्रतीत नहीं होता है (उससे लगाव 

बना रहता है ) , परन्तु यदि उससे मानसिक लगाव न हो  ( प्रिय न 

हो) तो उसके निकट होने पर भी उस से ( मानसिक रूप से ) दूरी बनी 

रहती है |

 

Doorasthopi na doorastho yo yasya manasi sthitah.

Yo yasya hrudaye naasti sameepasthopi dooratah.

Doorasthopi = doorastho + api.      Doorastho=  staying far

away.      Api = even.       Na = not.       Yo = whosoever.

yasya = whose.    Manasi = in the mind.     Sthitah = staying,

abiding, engrossed.     Hrudaye = heart, mind      Naasti =

non existent.         Sameepasthopi + sameepastho + api.

Sameepastho + api.     Sameepastho = nearby, near.

Dooratah = far away.

i.e.        If  a  person is dear to our heart, even if he is staying 

away from us we do not feel the distance from him (we remain

attached to him). But if a person is not dear to us, we (mentally)

remain  distanced from him even if he may be nearby to us.
