Sanskrit Pearl of the day:
अष्टादशपुराणानं सारं व्यासेन कीर्तितम् ।
परोपकारः पुण्याय पापाय परपीडनम् ॥
Transliteration:
aṣṭādaśapurāṇānaṃ sāraṃ vyāsena kīrtitam ।
paropakāraḥ puṇyāya pāpāya parapīḍanam ॥
Meaning of the subhAShita:
The essence of all the 18 purāNās (scriptures) is sung by maharṣi Vyāsa: benevolence leads to virtue; torturing others leads to vice.
Commentary:
The great sage Veda Vyāsa summarizes the essence of the entire 18 purāNās in one sentence! A person can be proficient in all the purāNās and know them like the back of his hand. But if he needs a shortcut to all the teachings, without knowing any of the scriptures, there is one simple rule: do good unto others and don't cause hurdles for others. Tormenting others is a surefire way of collecting more sin. Selfishness and self-centeredness don't get much merit either.
Living for the benefit of the world and those around us is the one and only true way to eternal happiness.

पर-उपकारः पुण्याय पापाय पर-पीडनम् ॥
para-upakāraḥ puṇyāya pāpāya para-pīḍanam ॥
