Sanskrit Pearl of the day:
सत्कुले योजयेत् कन्यां पुत्रं विद्यासु योजयेत् ।
व्यसने योजयेच्छत्रुम् इष्टं धर्मे नियोजयेत् ॥
- चाणक्य नीति
Transliteration:
satkule yojayet kanyāṃ putraṃ vidyāsu yojayet ।
vyasane yojayecchatrum iṣṭaṃ dharme niyojayet ॥
- cāṇakya nīti
Meaning of the subhAShita:
Alliance of a daughter (must be) from a noble lineage; children (must be) connected to vidyā (knowledge); associate with an enemy during adversity; match loved ones with dharma (righteousness).
Commentary:
Associations in life make all the difference!
When parents look for a groom for their daughter, they look for a family with a good lineage. Even if they lack possessions, the parents believe their daughter will live happily among people with good ethical values.
All children should be well educated. By chance, if the parents fall short in accumulating wealth and properties for their children, their lives will still be set, if they are endowed with vidyā. Nothing is more important than giving a good value-based education to our children.
In times of need, even an enemy can aid one's rescue. So, never say "never". Reach out to an enemy too, if he could be of help during a crisis. Do not let ego and past quarrels come in the way of a higher good.
Loved ones should always be kept on the path of virtue. Proper guidance to live their lives on the path of dharma is the best gift one can give to their near and dear ones!

Every decision made has a consequence to it. Make good choices today to avoid regrets of tomorrow.
