Niti Shataka 86 meaning
alasyam hi manushyanam shareerastho mahan ripuh
nasty-udyamasamo bandhuh kurvano navaseedati
आलस्यं हि मनुष्याणां शरीरस्थो महान्रिपुः ।
नास्त्युद्यमसमो बन्धुः कुर्वाणो नावसीदति ॥
Laziness is the great enemy living inside a person's own body. There is no friend like hard work; one who keeps working never sinks.
What it means
The biggest enemy is often not outside but within: the urge to put things off. Effort is the friend that never leaves you. Start small, keep moving, and you won't sink.हिंदी में अर्थ
आलस्य इंसान के शरीर में रहने वाला सबसे बड़ा शत्रु है। परिश्रम जैसा कोई मित्र नहीं; जो कर्म करता रहता है, वह कभी दुखी नहीं होता।
सबसे बड़ा शत्रु अक्सर बाहर नहीं, भीतर होता है — टालने की आदत। मेहनत वह दोस्त है जो साथ नहीं छोड़ता। छोटे कदम से शुरू कीजिए और चलते रहिए।
Spoken by Bhartrihari.
