Sanskrit Pearl of the day:
भये वा यदि वा हर्षे संप्राप्ते यो विमर्शयेत् ।
कृत्यं न कुरुते वेगात् न स सन्तापमाप्नुयात् ॥
- सुभाषितरत्नभाण्डागार
Transliteration:
bhaye vā yadi vā harṣe saṃprāpte yo vimarśayet ।
kṛtyaṃ na kurute vegāt na sa santāpamāpnuyāt ॥
- subhāṣitaratnabhāṇḍāgāra
Meaning of the subhAShita:
When in fear or in happiness, he who thinks his actions through and does nothing in haste will not undergo sorrow (suffering).
Commentary:
Life is a cycle. There are good times and bad times. Some bring excessive joy, while other times bring fear. In either circumstance, chances are, one might react hastily. When one responds hurriedly, he is bound to make mistakes that he will regret later. However, sped arrows and spoken words can never be taken back. He would have already caused damage, be it intentional or unintentional. When such actions are set in motion, chances are that the other person will retaliate with more force, leading to an unending vicious cycle.
The poet in this verse opines that—he who thinks his actions through, will save some suffering/regrets for himself and for others around him. Thoughtless actions have caused great harm and history is proof for that. Thoughtfulness about one's own actions is the winning way!
People of thoughtless actions are always surprised by consequences. We must remember that construction is a slow and laborious task that takes years whereas destruction can occur from one thoughtless action in a minute.
Think your actions through...

कृत्यं न कुरुते वेगात् न स सन्तापम् आप्नुयात् ॥
kṛtyaṃ na kurute vegāt na sa santāpam āpnuyāt ॥
