Chanakya Niti 4.4 meaning
yavat svastho hy ayam deho yavan mrityush cha dooratah
tavad atmahitam kuryat pran-ante kim karishyati
यावत्स्वस्थो ह्ययं देहो यावन्मृत्युश्च दूरतः ।
तावदात्महितं कुर्यात्प्राणान्ते किं करिष्यति ॥
While this body is healthy and death is still far away, do what is truly good for your soul. What can anyone do when life is already ending?
What it means
Don't postpone what matters most. Health and time feel endless until they aren't. Begin the good habits, the spiritual practice and the meaningful work now, while you still have the strength.हिंदी में अर्थ
जब तक यह शरीर स्वस्थ है और मृत्यु दूर है, तब तक अपनी आत्मा का भला कर लो। प्राण निकलते समय कोई क्या कर पाएगा?
जो सबसे ज़रूरी है, उसे टालो मत। सेहत और समय तब तक अनंत लगते हैं जब तक खत्म न हों। अच्छी आदतें, साधना और सार्थक काम अभी शुरू करो।
