Sanskrit Pearl of the day:
उत्साहसम्पन्नमदीर्घसूत्रं
क्रियावधिज्ञं व्यसनेष्वसक्तम् ।
शूरं कृतज्ञं दृढसौहृदं च
लक्ष्मीः स्वयं याति निवासहेतोः ॥
utsāhasampannamadīrghasūtraṃ
kriyāvadhijñaṃ vyasaneṣvasaktam ।
śūraṃ kṛtajñaṃ dṛḍhasauhṛdaṃ ca
lakṣmīḥ svayaṃ yāti nivāsahetoḥ ॥
Meaning of the subhAShita:
Goddess Lakṣmī (the epitome of prosperity) will willingly go to reside with a person who—is filled with enthusiasm, does not procrastinate, has acumen in his work, is disinterested in vices (like addiction), is brave, has gratitude, and makes firm friendships.
Commentary:
Everyone seeks success and prosperity. Goddess Lakṣmī, the embodiment of all things prosperous, represents this very aspiration. Yet, she is often elusive—rarely comes easily to all. There’s a reason for her fleeting nature.
In the pursuit of success, many tend to gravitate towards the easy road—laziness, procrastination, ineptitude, distractions, fear, ingratitude, and betrayal. These choices are tempting because they serve selfish desires, providing immediate, though shallow, satisfaction. However, true prosperity is not born from such seeds.
True prosperity is sown in the fertile soil of gratitude and nourished by unwavering persistence. Prosperity flourishes when one aligns with a clear purpose and pursues it with relentless passion. The journey toward prosperity is carved through hard work, resilience, and integrity. It is measured not in fleeting achievements, but in courage and character.
Success is a journey, and prosperity is the reward for every step taken with intention and resolve. A life lived with purpose, passion, and perseverance will naturally unfold into prosperity.
When these qualities like gratitude, purpose, persistence, and character are embraced, success will come knocking at the door, uninvited but inevitable.
