 SUBHASHITHANI:637

मुक्ताभिमानी मुक्तो हि
बद्धो बद्धाभिमान्यपि।
किवदन्तीह सत्येयं
या मतिः सा गतिर्भवेत्॥१-११॥Ashtavakra gita 1.11
muktābhimānī mukto hi baddho baddhābhimānyapi
kiṁvadantīha satyeyaṁ yā matiḥ sā gatirbhavet
If one thinks of oneself as free, one is free, and if one thinks of oneself as bound, one is bound. Here this saying is true, “Thinking makes it so”.

"As you think. so you become."

उभाभ्यामेव पक्षाभ्यां शथा खे पक्षिणां गति: ।
तथैव ज्ञानकर्मभ्यां जायते परमं पदम् ॥
Just as the bird can fly high with the help of it's two wings, in the same way with the help of knowledge ('gyaana') and duly performance of one's own duties ('karma') - one can attain the supreme reality.

'अन्तर्लापिका'
 'Antarlaapikaa' (a riddle, where its answer is in the riddle itself.  The answer is in the last three wordsof the 'shloka; (couplet).
 
युधिष्ठिरः कस्य  पुत्रो  गङ्गा  वहति  कीदृशी  |
हंसस्य शोभा का वाSSस्ति धर्मस्य त्वरिता गतिः ||  -सुभाषितरत्नाकर 
Yudhishthirah kasya putrah Gangaa vahati  keedrushee.
Hansasya shobhaa kaa vaasti Dharmasya tvaritaa gatih.
 Whose son is Yudhishthira, how the river Ganges
flows and what makes a Swan graceful ?Dharma acts swiftly  

The answer  is that Yudhishthara is the son ofDharma, the river Ganges
flows very fast , and a swan's grace is in its gait i.e.the way it walks.

निर्वाणदीपे किमु तैलदानं 

चौरे गते वा किमु सावधानम् ।
वयोगते किं वनिताविलासः

पयोगते किं खलु सेतुबन्धः ।।
What is the use of adding oil after the lamp is extinguished? What is the use of being cautious after the thief comes and leaves? What's the use of having beautiful women when they get old? And what is the use of putting a dam after the floods?

यथा ह्येकेन चक्रेण न रथस्य गतिर्भवेत्।
एवं परुषकारेण विना दैवं न सिद्ध्यति।।
yathā hyekena cakreṇa na rathasya gatirbhavet|
evaṃ paruṣakāreṇa vinā daivaṃ na siddhyati||
Just like a chariot cannot run with only a single wheel, similarly luck alone cannot complete a task without efforts.

दानं भोगो नाशः तिस्रो गतयो भवन्ति वित्तस्य।
यो न ददाति न भुङ्क्ते तस्य तृतीया गतिः भवति॥ चाणक्यनीति
Wealth gets utilized in three ways:
Donation, consumption and destruction. Wealth of the one who neither gives his wealth for charity nor uses it for appropriate self-consumption has a third destination, destruction!

नास्ति मातृसमा छाया नास्ति मातृसमा गतिः।
nāsti mātṛsamā chāyā nāsti mātṛsamā gatiḥ।
नास्ति मातृसमं त्राणं नास्ति मातृसमा प्रपा॥
nāsti mātṛsamaṃ trāṇaṃ nāsti mātṛsamā prapā॥#स्कन्दपुराण-(6.103-104 )
There is no shade like a mother, no resort like a mother, no security like a mother, no other ever-giving fountain of life.

यः शास्त्रविधिमुत्सृज्य वर्तते कामकारतः ।
न स सिद्धिमवाप्नोति न सुखं न परां गतिम् ॥१६:२३॥BG16.23
yah shaastra vidhim utsrijya vartate kaama kaaratah
na sah siddhim avaapnoti na sukham na paraam gatim
He who discards scriptural injunctions and acts according to his own whims attains neither perfection, nor happiness, nor the supreme destination.
