LAGHU-लघु- LIGHT,SMALL

 SUBHASHITHANI:491

न उच्चार्थो विफलोऽपि दूषणपदं दूष्य:तु कामो लघु: ||
Na ucchaarthi viphalopi dooshanapadam dooshyah tu kaamo laghuh I
There is no fault in the failure of the big dreams/aims. But it's big fault even to think for the personal selfish gains. 

अधिगत-परमार्थान् पण्डितान् मा-अवमंस्थाः-
तृणम्-इव लघु लक्ष्मीः-नैव तान् संरुणद्धि ।
अभिनव-मद-लेखा-श्याम-गण्ड-स्थलानां
न भवति बिसतन्तुः-वारणं वारणानाम् ।। 17 ।।Niti satakam

tṛṇaṃ iva laghu lakṣmīrnaiva tānsaṃruṇaddhi ।

na bhavati bisatanturvāraṇaṃ vāraṇānām ॥ 1.17 ॥
o kings! Do not show disrespect to enlightened savants who have realised the supreme good. The trivial goddess of wealth cannot entice such men even as a wanton elephant whose temples have turned dark with flowing rut, cannot be chained with the pith of a lotus-stem.

अयं निजः परो वेति गणना लघु-चेतसाम् ।
उदार-चरितानां तु वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम् ॥ ३७ ॥

ayaṃ nijaḥ paro veti gaṇanā laghu-cetasām |
udāra-caritānāṃ tu vasudhaiva kuṭumbakam || Pancha tantra

Only small men discriminate saying: One is a relative; the other is a stranger. For those who live magnanimously the entire world constitutes but a family.

तृणं लघु तृणात्तूलं तूलादपि याचकः ।
वायुना किं न नीतोऽसौ मामयं याचयिष्यति ।।
Thrunam laghu trunaattulam tulaadapi yaachakah I
Vaayunaa kim na neetosau maamayam yaachayishyati II
A blade of grass is light, cotton is lighter, the beggar is infinitely lighter still. Why then does not the wind carry him away? Because it fears that he may ask alms of him. 

सम्पातं विप्र-पातं च महा-पातं निपातनम् ।
वक्रं तिर्यक् तथा चोर्ध्वम् अष्टमं लघु-संज्ञकम् ॥ ५९ ॥
sampātaṃ vipra-pātaṃ ca mahā-pātaṃ nipātanam |
vakraṃ tiryak tathā cordhvam aṣṭamaṃ laghu-saṃjñakam || 2.59 ||
There are eight different modes of flying: An even easy flight, a sudden dart, a great flight, descending flight, a crooked flight, flying in zig zag way, flying upwards and a quick flight.

जुगुप्सित प्रवृतौ च निस्चते अपि पराजये I
गुरुणा लघुना चापि यशस्वी न विवादयेत् II Swami Vivekaananda
Even if provoked by some one and even if sure of winning in a debate, whether it is heavy or light, a karma yogi should never indulge in argument with such people. 

विविक्तसेवी लघ्वाशी यतवाक्कायमानसः ।
ध्यानयोगपरो नित्यं वैराग्यं समुपाश्रितः ॥ BG 18.52
viviktasevī laghvāśī yatavākkāyamānasaḥ
dhyānayogaparo nityaṃ vairāgyaṃ samupāśritaḥ
अहङ्कारं बलं दर्पं कामं क्रोधं परिग्रहम् ।
विमुच्य निर्ममः शान्तो ब्रह्मभूयाय कल्पते ॥ BG 18.53
ahaṅkāraṃ balaṃ darpaṃ kāmaṃ krodhaṃ parigraham
vimucya nirmamaḥ śānto brahmabhūyāya kalpate
Dwelling in solitude; eating but little; speech, body and mind subdued; always engaged in meditation and concentration; taking refuge in dispassion;
Having abandoned egoism, power, arrogance, desire, anger and aggrandisement, and freed from the notion of mine, and so peaceful — he is fit to become BRAHMAN.
