Sanskrit Pearl of the day:
त्यज दुर्जनसंसर्गं भज साधुसमागमम् ।
कुरु पुण्यमहोरात्रं स्मर सर्वेश्वरं सदा ॥

Transliteration:
tyaja durjanasaṃsargaṃ bhaja sādhusamāgamam ।
kuru puṇyamahorātraṃ smara sarveśvaraṃ sadā ॥

Meaning of the subhAShita:
Leave the proximity of evildoers; resort to the company of the noble. Perform virtuous deeds day and night, remember the Lord all the time.

Commentary:
Leading a successful life doesn't mean having big bungalows and cars. Success is a relative term, after all. If one can successfully avoid the company of evil, be in the company of good, do good deeds and surrender to Him, that is more than a success story!

Every deed performed with the thought that it is an offering to the Lord is the true vedāntic (spiritual) way of living (not just chanting series of mantras or performing various poojas).

Be a success story in the right sense.

pada vigrahaH:
त्यज दुर्जन-संसर्गं भज साधु-समागमम् ।
tyaja durjana-saṃsargaṃ bhaja sādhu-samāgamam ।

कुरु पुण्यम् अहः रात्रं स्मर सर्व-इश्वरं सदा ॥
kuru puṇyam ahaḥ rātraṃ smara sarva-iśvaraṃ sadā ॥

Alternate Transliteration:
tyaja durjanasaMsargaM bhaja saadhusamaagamam ।
kuru puNyamahoraatraM smara sarveshvaraM sadaa ॥

tyaja durjana-saMsargaM bhaja saadhu-samaagamam ।
kuru puNyam ahaH raatraM smara sarva-ishvaraM sadaa॥
