न पश्यति च जन्मान्धः कामान्धो नैव पश्यति |
मदोन्मत्ता न पश्यन्ति अर्थी दोषं न पश्यति ||
- चाणक्य नीति (६/८ )
भावार्थ - जिस प्रकार अपने जन्मसमय से ही दृष्टिहीन व्यक्ति
को कुछ भी नहीं दिखाई देता है, उसी प्रकार कामवासना से ग्रस्त
व्यक्ति को भी अपना हित अहित नहीं दिखाई देता है | अपने धन
और शक्ति के गर्व से चूर या मदिरापान से मत्त हुए व्यक्तियों को भी
अपना हित अहित नहीं दिखाई देता है, तथा जिस व्यक्ति को किसी
वस्तु की उत्कट इच्छा होती है उसे उस वस्तु के दोष नहीं दिखाई देते हैं |
Na = not. Pashyati = sees. Cha = and. Janmaandhah=
a person born blind. Kaamandho = blind with lust. Naiva = no.
Madonmattaa = intoxicated with pride or passion, inebriated.
Arthee = one who wants or desires anything ardently. Dosham =
defects, shortcomings.
i.e. Just as a person born blind is unable to see any thing, so also
a person overpowered by lust is unable to see its consequences, and
a person intoxicated by pride or inebriated with liquor, is also unable
to see the after effect of his action. Similarly a person who ardently
desires any thing is unable to see the defects in that thing.
