Today's Subhashita.

कुसुमं वर्णसंपन्नं गन्धहीनं  न शोभते  |
न शोभते क्रियाहीनं मधुरं वचनं तथा  ||

अर्थ  -       कोई पुष्प   रंग बिरंगा   होने पर भी शोभित  नहीं होता
है (पसंद नहीं किया जाता है) यदि वह्  गन्धहीन   होता है |  उसी  प्रकार
बिना कोई  कार्य (सहायता) किये केवल मीठी मीठी बातें करना भी
शोभा नहीं देता है |

Kusumam = a flower.     Varnasampanna = varna + sampannam.
Varna = colour.     Sampanna = having.    Gandhaheenam = gandha+
heenam.      Gandha=  smell,scent.    Heenam =without.   Na = noit.  
Shobhate = embellished, adorned.   Kriyaaheenam = kriyaa +heenam.  
Kriyaa = action.    Madhuram =pleasant, sweet.   Vachanam = talk,
speech.   TTatha =  similarly,thus.

i.e.     A flower in spite of being very colourful is not adorned if it is
not having a sweet smell.   Similarly, only sweet talk without any
supporting action is not at all appreciated.
