आज का सुभाषित / Today's Subhashita.

कारुण्येनात्मनो   तृष्णा  च  परितोषतः          |
उत्थानेन जयेत्तन्द्रीं वितर्कः निश्चयाज्जयेत || -महासुभषितसंग्रह(९७१२)

भावार्थ -    करुणा (दया की भावना) से स्वयं अपने ऊपर , तृष्णा (अत्यधिक
लोभ) के ऊपर  संतोष की भावना के द्वारा , तन्द्रा (आलस्य) के ऊपर जाग्रति
के द्वारा,तथा संदेह (संशय) के ऊपर दृढ निश्चय से विजय प्राप्त करनी चाहिये |

Karunyenaatmano trushnaa cha paritoshatah.
Utthaanena jayettandreem  vitarkah nishchayaajayet.

Kaarunyenenaatmano = kaarunyena + atmano.      Kaarunyen =
by compassion or kindness.     Atmano = you yourself.    Trushna=
greed, excessive desire to possess something.   Cha =  and.
Paritoshatah =gratification on whatever one has.   Utthaanena=
by rising.   Jayettandreem = jayet + tandreem.    Jayet = conquer.
Tandreem = drowsiness.     Vitarkah = doubt,  arguments.
Nishchayaajjayet = nishchayaat + jayet.        Nishchayaat =
by taking a decision, by determination.

i.e.     One should conquer his own self by practicing compassion,
greed  by being satisfied at whatever he possesses,  drowsiness by
always remaining alert, and  indecision by being firm and decisive.

(Anger, greed, laziness and indecision are the four shortcomings which a person 
should not have in him. This Subhashita exhorts that anger should be controlled 
by being compassionate, greed by being satisfied at one's lot, laziness by being 
alert, and indecision by firm resolve.)
