Mahabharata 5.36.38 meaning
chalachittam anatmanam indriyanam vashanugam
arthah samativartante hansah shushkam saro yatha
चलचित्तमनात्मानमिन्द्रियाणां वशानुगम्।
अर्थाः समतिवर्तन्ते हंसाः शुष्कं सरो यथा॥
Wealth leaves a fickle, undisciplined person who is ruled by his senses, just as swans abandon a dried-up lake.
What it means
Money doesn't stay with people who can't control their impulses. Without discipline, even a fortune dries up. Build self-control and wealth has a place to settle.हिंदी में अर्थ
चंचल मन वाले, असंयमी और इंद्रियों के गुलाम व्यक्ति को धन वैसे ही छोड़ जाता है जैसे सूखे तालाब को हंस छोड़ देते हैं।
जो अपनी इच्छाओं पर काबू नहीं रखता, उसके पास पैसा टिकता नहीं। अनुशासन के बिना खज़ाना भी सूख जाता है।
