Subhashitas Subhashita 203 meaning
atmartham jeevalokesmin ko na jeevati manavah
param paropakarartham yo jeevati sa jeevati
आत्मार्थं जीवलोकेऽस्मिन् को न जीवति मानवः ।
परं परोपकारार्थं यो जीवति स जीवति ॥
In this world, who does not live for his own sake? But the one who lives for the good of others — he alone truly lives.
What it means
Looking after yourself is natural, and nobody earns praise for it. What makes a life memorable is the difference it made to others — the people you lifted, taught, fed or simply stood beside.हिंदी में अर्थ
इस संसार में अपने लिए कौन नहीं जीता? पर जो दूसरों की भलाई के लिए जीता है, वास्तव में वही जीता है।
अपना ध्यान रखना तो स्वाभाविक है, इसमें कोई विशेषता नहीं। जीवन यादगार तब बनता है जब उससे दूसरों के जीवन में सचमुच कुछ फर्क पड़े।
