INTELLIGENCE-3- BUDDHI-DHEEH-PRAGYA- ( बुद्धिः-धी: -प्रज्ञा)

SUBHASHITHAM:131
आत्मानं रथिनं विद्धि शरीरं रथमेव च ।
बुद्धिं तु सारथिं विद्धि मनः प्रग्रहमेव च ॥ - कठोपनिषत्
ātmānaṃ rathinaṃ viddhi śarīraṃ rathameva ca ।
buddhiṃ tu sārathiṃ viddhi manaḥ pragrahameva ca ॥

Know thyself as the traveller and body as the chariot. Perceive intellect as the charioteer and mind as the reins.

प्रामाण्यबुद्धिः स्तोत्रेषु देवताबुद्धिरात्मनि ।

कीटबुद्धिर्मनुष्येषु नूतनायाः श्रियः फलम् ॥ 

Praamanya buddhih stotreshu devataa buddhiraatmani I

Keeta buddhir manushyeshu nootanaayaah shriyah phalam II

Authoritativeness in one's own praises; perceiving oneself as the Almighty; 

discerning other humans as insects - these are the results of newfound wealth. 

गन्धः सुवर्णे फलमिक्षुदण्डे     नाकारि पुष्पं खलु चन्दनस्य ।
विद्वान् धनाढ्यश्च नृपश्चिरायुः   धातुः पुरा कोऽपि न बुद्धिदोऽभूत् ॥ - चाणक्य नीति

Fragrance in gold; fruit in sugarcane; big flowers too in sandalwood; an educated who is rich; a king who lives forever - (alas!) there were no counselors for the creator earlier!

कर्मायत्तं फलं पुंसां बुद्धिः कर्मानुसारिणी ।
तथापि सुधियाश्चऽऽर्याः सुविचार्यैव कुर्वते ॥ - चाण्क्य नीति

karmāyattaṃ phalaṃ puṃsāṃ buddhiḥ karmānusāriṇī ।
tathāpi sudhiyāśca''ryāḥ suvicāryaiva kurvate ॥

Beings attain the results per their actions; (and) actions conform to the intellect.

 Therefore, the intelligent noble execute after reflection.

सत्यानुसारिणी लक्ष्मीः कीर्तिस्त्यागानुसारिणी ।
अभ्याससारिणी विद्या बुद्धिः कर्मानुसारिणी ॥

Wealth follows truthfulness; fame follows liberality; knowledge follows practice; intellect follows implementation (action).

ञ्चित् युक्तो रिपुं सेवते बुद्धिपूर्वम् ।
न विग्रहं रोचयते बलस्थैः काले च यो विक्रमते स धीरः ॥
sudurbalaṃ nāvajānāti kiñcit yukto ripuṃ sevate buddhipūrvam ।
na vigrahaṃ rocayate balasthaiḥ kāle ca yo vikramate sa dhīraḥ ॥ - viduranīti

He who does not show even a little contempt towards the weak;

 handles the enemies with discern; steers clear from having a conflict with

 the stronger and demonstrates valour - is brave.

दारिद्र्यनाशनं दानं शीलं दुर्गतिनाशनम् ।
अज्ञाननाशिनी प्रज्ञा भावना भयनाशिनी ॥ - चाणक्य नीति

dāridryanāśanaṃ dānaṃ śīlaṃ durgatināśanam ।
ajñānanāśinī prajñā bhāvanā bhayanāśinī ॥

Giving quells poverty, integrity dispels bad times, 

awareness dismisses ignorance, contemplation dissipates fear.

अग्निर्देवो द्विजातीनां मुनीनां हृदि दैवतम् ।
प्रतिमा स्वल्पबुद्धीनां सर्वत्र समदर्शिनः ॥
agnirdevo dvijātīnāṃ munīnāṃ hṛdi daivatam ।
pratimā svalpabuddhīnāṃ sarvatra samadarśinaḥ ॥

For the twice-born , fire is God; for the ascetics, the Lord is in their hearts; for those with little insight, it is in the statue; for those with equanimity, He is everywhere!
