Today's Subhashita.

अनुकूल्येन  दैवस्य वर्तितव्यं सुखार्थिना |
दुस्तरं प्रतिकूलं  हि  प्रतिस्रोत  इवाम्भसः ||  -महासुभषितसंग्रह

अर्थ -     सुख की कामना करने वालों पर  यदि ईश्वर की कृपा हो
तो उन्हें अवश्य ही सुख प्राप्त होता है , परन्तु यदि ईश्वर की कृपा
उन पर न हो  तो उनकी स्थिति तेज जल प्रवाह के विपरीत तैरने के
समान अत्यन्त ही कष्टदायक और कठिन हो जाती है |

Anukoolyena daivasya vartitavyasya sukhaarthinaa.
Dustaram pratikoolam hi pratisrota ivaambhasah.

Anukoolyena =  by the kindness or favour     Daivasya = God's.
Vartitavyam = practised      Sukhaarthinaa = persons seeking
happiness and pleasure.      Dustaram = unsurmountable, very
difficult to be overcome.    Pratikoolam = adverse, unfavourable.
Hi = surely.     Pratisrota = upstream.     Ivambhasah =  iva +
ambhasa.       Iva = like (comparison)     Ambhasah = water.

i.e.      If the seekers of happiness and pleasure are bestowed favour
by the God Almighty they definitely enjoy the same, but if  He is
unfavourable then their adverse condition  is very difficult to overcome
just like that of a person swimming upstream in a fast flowing stream
of water..
