Sanskrit Pearl of the day:
सत्यं माता पिता ज्ञानं धर्मो भ्राता दया सखः ।
शान्तिः पत्नी क्षमा पुत्रः षडेते मम बान्धवाः ॥
Transliteration:
satyaṃ mātā pitā jñānaṃ dharmo bhrātā dayā sakhaḥ ।
śāntiḥ patnī kṣamā putraḥ ṣaḍete mama bāndhavāḥ ॥
Meaning of the subhAShita:
Truth is mother; knowledge is father; moral merit is brother; kindness is friend; peace is wife; and forgiveness is son. These are my six relatives.
Commentary:
While in this world, one will have a mother, father, brother/sister, spouse, friend and progeny that they identify themselves with. But in reality, one's true kin are truth, knowledge, righteousness, kindness, tranquillity and forgiveness. These are the virtues and qualities that one should be with, at all times. So one should live life like these are his true relatives. He should treat these values with the same love and respect as his kin. Actually, they are better than kin because mortal kin will part ways in the end. But these attributes will accompany him even after death.
Build a strong family that can support you at all times!
