Today's Subhashita.

न भेतव्यं न बोधव्यं न श्राव्यं वादिनो वचः |
झटति  प्रतिवक्तव्यं सभासु विजिगीषुभिः ||

अर्थ -      किसी भी सभा में जहां तुम्हारे विरोधी  हों , न तो उनसे
डरो , न उन की बेकार की बाते सुन कर उन्हें  समझाने का प्रयत्न
करो क्यों कि वे  तुरन्त अपने प्रत्युत्तर  (जवाब ) द्वारा  तुम्हें
अपनी बातों मे उलझाने लगेंगे  |

Na bhetavyam na bodhavyam na shraavyam vaadino vachah,
Jhatati prativaktavyam sabhaasu vijigeeshubhih,

Na = not.   Bhetavya = to be feared or dreaded.    Bodhavyam =
to be enlightened or admonished.  Shraavyam = worth listening
Vaadino = accusers.     Vachah = talking, speaking.       Jhatati =
entangles.     Prativaktavyam = counter argument or statement.
Sabhaasu = meetings, assemblies.    Vijigeeshubhih = opponents.

i.e.        In a meeting or assembly, where there are your opponents,
you should never be afraid of them but you should neither listen to
their useless talk nor try to enlighten or convince them, because
they will immediately entangle you in a dispute by their counter-
arguments
