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 (should be) to a noble lineage; children (should 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. Although they may lack in possessions, the parents believe that their daughter will live happily among people with good ethical values.
Children should be well educated. Even if the parents fall short in accumulating wealth and properties for their children, their life will be set if they are endowed with vidyā. Nothing is more important than giving a good value-based education to our children in today's world.
When in times of need, even an enemy can come to one's rescue. So, one can never say "never".
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!
