सुश्रान्तोSपि वहेद्भारं शीतोष्णं न च पश्यति |
सन्तुष्टश्चरते नित्यं त्रीणि शिक्षेच्च गर्धभात् ||
- चाणक्य नीति (६/२१)
भावार्थ - गधा बहुत थका हुआ होने पर भी अपने ऊपर रखे हुए
भार को ढोता रहता है ,शीत (ठन्ड) तथा ऊष्ण (गर्मी) की परवाह
नहीं करता है , तथा जिस परिस्थिति में भी वह रहता है उस से
सदैव सन्तुष्ट रहता है | ये तीन बातें (१) अपने कर्तव्य का पालन
करना (२) विपरीत परिस्थितियों की परवाह न करना तथा (३)
सन्तोषी स्वभाव , ये तीन गुण हमें एक गधे के आचरण से सीखना
चाहिये |
Sushraantopi vahedbhaaram sheetoshnam na cha pashyati.
Santushthashcharate nityam treeni shiksheccha gardhabhaat.
Sushraanto + api. Sushraanto = being very tired. Api= even.
Vahet+ bhaaram. Vahet = carries. bears. Bhaaram =load.
Sheetoshnam = cold and hot. Na = not. Cha= and. Pashyati=
remains indifferent towards. Santushtah + charate. Santushtah =
quite contented. Charate = remain occupied. Nityam = always.
Treeni = three. Shikshaa+ cha. Sikshaa = learning.
Gardhabhaat = from a donkey.
i.e. A donkey continues to bear heavy loads even being very tired,
remains indifferent towards cold and hot working conditions, and
always remains satisfied over his lot. We should learn these three
virtues, namely (i) adherence to one's duty (ii) indifference towards
adverse working conditions while on duty and (iii) always remaining
contented , from the behaviour of a donkey.
