Subhashitas Subhashita 109 meaning
ashanam me vasanam me jaya me bandhuvargo me
iti me me kurvanam kalavriko hanti purushajam
अशनं मे वसनं मे जाया मे बन्धुवर्गो मे ।
इति मे मे कुर्वाणं कालवृको हन्ति पुरुषाजम् ॥
"My food, my clothes, my spouse, my relatives," bleats the human goat, "me, me, me"; and while it bleats, the wolf of Time carries it away.
What it means
A gently funny picture with a serious point: life spent only on "mine, mine" passes in a flash. Care for your people and possessions, but leave room for meaning, kindness and things beyond yourself.हिंदी में अर्थ
"मेरा भोजन, मेरे कपड़े, मेरी पत्नी, मेरे रिश्तेदार", ऐसे "मैं-मैं" करते हुए मनुष्य रूपी बकरे को काल रूपी भेड़िया उठा ले जाता है।
हल्का-फुल्का पर गहरा चित्र: केवल "मेरा-मेरा" में बीता जीवन पलक झपकते निकल जाता है। अपनों का ध्यान रखिए, पर अर्थ, दया और स्वयं से बड़ी बातों के लिए भी जगह रखिए।
