SUBHASHITHANI- MAHABHARATA-12

  SUBHASHITHANI:639

आकिञ्चन्ये मोक्षोऽस्ति किञ्चन्ये नास्ति बन्धनम् |
किञ्चन्ये चेतरे चैव जन्तुर्ज्ञानेन मुच्यते
|| १२.३२०.५०

akinchanye na moksho'sti kinchanye nasti bandhanam |
kinchanye chetare chaiva janturjnanena muchyate ||

A simple life of poverty Is not a path to salvation.
A lavish life with property Is not a path to damnation.
It’s neither wealth nor misery It’s knowledge that will set you free.

आगमानां हि सर्वेषामाचारः श्रेष्ठ उच्यते
आचारप्रभवो धर्मो धर्मादायुर्विवर्धते १३.१०४.१५६
āgamānāṃ hi sarveṣām ācāraḥ śreṣṭha ucyate
ācāraprabhavo dharmo dharmādāyurvivardhate
In all scriptures, following moral code is said to be of the greatest importance. Good conduct gives rise to dharma, and dharma gives Ayush. 
आत्मा जेयः सदा राज्ञा ततो जेयाश्च शत्रवः
अजितात्मा नरपतिर्विजयेत कथं रिपून् १२.६९.
aatma jeyaH sadA rAjnA tato jeyashcha shatravaH
ajitAtmA narapatiH vijayeta katham ripUn   – mahAbhArata, shAnti
A king must first‌ subjugate himself and next his enemies. If he can’t subjugate himself, how can he subjugate external enemies?
आत्मानं कः समुद्बध्य कण्ठे बद्धा महाशिलाम्
समुद्रं तरते दोर्भ्यां तत्र किं नाम पौरुषम् .४९.१६
Atmaanam kah samudbaddhya kante baddha mahashilaam I
Samudram tarate dobhyaam tatra kim naama paurusham II
One who has bound himself firmly with a big stone around his neck, what kind of manliness it will be if he tries to help another to cross the ocean?
आत्मानमसमाधाय समाधित्सति यः परान्
विषयेष्विन्द्रियवशं मानवाः प्रहसन्ति तम् १२.२६७.२७
Atmaanamasaahaaya samadhitsati yah paraan I
Vishayendriyavasham maanavaah prahasanti tam II
The one who is becoming a slave to the senses to enjoy the subject, does not control his mind, if he starts preaching good deeds to others, then people laugh at him.
SRI KRISHNAYA THUBHYAM NAMAH
