मनसि वचसि काये पुण्यपीयूषपूर्णास्त्रिभुवनमुपकारश्रेणिभिः प्रीणयन्तः । परगुणपरमाणून्पर्वतीकृत्य नित्यं निजहृदि विकसन्तः सन्तः सन्तः कियन्तः ॥

Filled with the nectar of goodness in mind, word and body, pleasing all three worlds with countless kindnesses, always making mountains out of the tiniest virtues of others and blossoming in their own hearts: how many such good people are there?

What it means

Most of us magnify others' faults and shrink their virtues. Try the opposite: notice the small good in people and celebrate it. It makes you happier and brings out their best.

हिंदी में अर्थ

मन, वचन और शरीर में पुण्य के अमृत से भरे, अनगिनत उपकारों से तीनों लोकों को प्रसन्न करते, दूसरों के कण भर गुणों को भी पर्वत बनाकर अपने हृदय में खिलते हुए — ऐसे सज्जन कितने हैं?

हम अक्सर दूसरों के दोष बड़े और गुण छोटे देखते हैं। उल्टा कीजिए: छोटी-सी अच्छाई को भी पहचानिए और सराहिए। इससे आप भी खुश रहेंगे और दूसरे भी निखरेंगे।

Spoken by Bhartrihari.
