Today's Subhashita.

काचो  मणिर्मणि: काचो येषां तेSन्ये  हि देहिनः  |
सन्ति ते सुधियो येषां काचः काचो मणिर्मणिः   ||

अर्थ -       जो व्यक्ति कांच के  टुकडे  को एक मणि समझते हैं और एक मणि को कांच का टुकडा , वे  अज्ञानी  और एक अलग ही श्रेणी के  होते हैं  |  परन्तु जिन  व्यक्तियों  में  कांच को कांच और मणि को मणि के  रूप में ही पहचानने  की क्षमता होती है, वे विवेकी और ज्ञानवान होते हैं |

Kaacho manirmanih kaacho yeshaam tenye hi dehinah.
santi te sudhiyo yeshaam kaachah kaacho manirmanih.

Kaacho = glass.    Manirmanih = Mani + manih.    Mani = Gem ( a precious  clear and  transparent mineral).
Yeshaam =  whose.    Tenye =  Tey + anye.    Tey = they.   Anye = other type (ignorant).   Hi = surely.
Dehinah = persons, living beings.       Santi = there are      Sudhiyo =knowledgeable and wise persons.

i.e.    Those persons who perceive an artificial gem made of glass as a real gem and a real  gem as a piece of ordinary glass, are ordinary and  ignorant  persons , whereas  those persons who have the expertise to differentiate between a real gem and an artificial gem made of glass, are surely  knowledgeable and wise .
