Hitopadesha 0.42 meaning
nadravye nihita kachit kriya phalavatee bhavet
na vyaparashaten-api shukavat pathyate bakah
नाद्रव्ये निहिता काचित्क्रिया फलवती भवेत्।
न व्यापारशतेनापि शुकवत्पाठ्यते बकः॥
No effort bears fruit when spent on unsuitable material. Even with a hundred tries, a heron cannot be taught to talk like a parrot.
What it means
Teaching works best where there is real readiness to learn. As a learner, bring openness; as a teacher or leader, notice each person's nature and play to their real strengths.हिंदी में अर्थ
अयोग्य पात्र पर किया गया कोई प्रयास फल नहीं देता। सौ कोशिशों के बाद भी बगुले को तोते की तरह बोलना नहीं सिखाया जा सकता।
सिखाना वहीं काम करता है जहाँ सीखने की तैयारी हो। सीखने वाले बनो तो मन खुला रखो, सिखाने वाले बनो तो हर व्यक्ति की असली ताकत पहचानो।
Spoken by Vishnusharma.
