Sanskrit Pearl of the day:
उद्यमस्साहसं धैर्यं बुद्धिश्शक्तिः पराक्रमः ।
षडेते यत्र वर्तन्ते तत्र देवाः सहायकृत् ॥
Transliteration:
udyamassāhasaṃ dhairyaṃ buddhiśśaktiḥ parākramaḥ ।
ṣaḍete yatra vartante tatra devāḥ sahāyakṛt ॥
Meaning of the subhAShita:
Industriousness, adventurousness, patience, wisdom, strength, courage - wherever these 6 (qualities) are operative, Gods are helpful.
Commentary:
Even Gods do not help the non-zealous and lazy!
If a person has the zeal to work; is patient enough to deal with situations as they come; and uses his wisdom, strength, and courage - only then shall the Gods help.
Like they say, 'success' is 90% perspiration and 10% luck. The 10% of luck will be useful only when one is ready to perspire! But when not in the right direction, perspiration will only lead to futile efforts. One's industriousness counts only when accompanied by adventurousness, patience, wisdom, strength, and courage. When these 6 attributes come together, even Gods have no choice but to be on their side and bless them with success!
Chances come and go in everyone's life. But only the one with all the 6 qualities mentioned above will be able to seize opportunities and make the best of them.
Can't blame destiny for our lack of readiness after all!
pada vigrahaH:
उद्यमः साहसं धैर्यं बुद्धिः शक्तिः पराक्रमः ।
udyamaḥ sāhasaṃ dhairyaṃ buddhiḥ śaktiḥ parākramaḥ ।
षट् एते यत्र वर्तन्ते तत्र देवाः सहायकृत् ॥
ṣaṭ ete yatra vartante tatra devāḥ sahāyakṛt ॥
