Sanskrit Pearl of the day:
कालः पचति भूतानि कालः संहरते प्रजाः ।
कालः सुप्तेषु जागर्ति कालो हि दुरतिक्रमः ॥
- चाणक्य नीति
Transliteration:
kālaḥ pacati bhūtāni kālaḥ saṃharate prajāḥ ।
kālaḥ supteṣu jāgarti kālo hi duratikramaḥ ॥
- cāṇakya nīti
Meaning of the subhAShita:
Time digests all elements, time fells all beings, time is awake even in sleep, time is the only thing that cannot be transgressed (by anyone).
Commentary:
One may have everything at the tip of his finger and control the entire world with his fist! But there is one thing that is beyond the ability of even such a person - slowing down Time! It keeps going at its constant monotonous pace. (Wish we could 'freeze' time, especially when children are young :). Time doesn't wait for anyone for any reason. It has the force to sweep everything under its influence. It can digest all elements of the universe, it can fell all beings. Time is the most precious thing that is steady and moving at all times, no matter what any being is doing.
Time always keeps changing and change is the only thing that is constant! Accept the fact that time is never stagnant and go with the flow. Adapt accordingly!
