आज का सुभाषित /Today's Subhashita

कार्यार्थी भजते लोके  न  प्रियः पारमार्थिकः |
वत्सः क्षीरक्षयं  दृष्ट्वा  परित्यजति  मातरं  || - महासुभषितसंग्रह(9760)

भावार्थ -   किसी भी  व्यक्ति को जब तक  अपना कार्य पूरा करना होता
है तब तक वह उस कार्य से सम्बन्धित  अन्य व्यक्तियों को उचित सम्मान
देता है  पर इस लिये नहीं कि वह उनका भला चाहता है | उदाहरणार्थ अपनी
माता का स्तनपान करता  हुअ बच्चा भी स्तनों से दूध न आने पर अपनी
माता को छोड देता है |

Kaaryaarthee bhajate loke na priysah  paaramaarthikah.
Vatsah ksheera-kshayam  drushtvaa  parityajati maatam.

Kaaryaarthee = a person who has to do some work or business.
Bhajate = revers, respects.   Loke =  otherpersons.    Na = not.
Priyah = loved, favourable.    Paaramaarthikah = one who cares
for the welfare of others.    Vatsah = a child.   Ksheera = milk.
Kshayam = loss, decline.   Drushtvaa = observing, seeing.
Parityajati = discards, leaves.

i.e.    So long a person has to get a job done, he revers the persons
associated with that job until such time the job is completed and
not for their welfare, e.g. even a small child sucking milk from his
mother's breast leaves his mother as soon as the supply of milk
declines or stops.
