Subhashitas Subhashita 207 meaning
pibanti nadyah svayam eva n-ambhah svayam na khadanti phalani vrikshah
n-adanti sasyam khalu varivahah paropakaraya satam vibhootayah
पिबन्ति नद्यः स्वयमेव नाम्भः स्वयं न खादन्ति फलानि वृक्षाः ।
नादन्ति सस्यं खलु वारिवाहाः परोपकाराय सतां विभूतयः ॥
Rivers do not drink their own water, trees do not eat their own fruit, and clouds do not eat the crops they water. The riches of good people are meant for others.
What it means
Whatever you have — money, knowledge, influence, time — becomes truly valuable when it flows outward. Like a river, a generous life stays fresh because it keeps giving instead of hoarding.हिंदी में अर्थ
नदियाँ अपना पानी स्वयं नहीं पीतीं, पेड़ अपने फल स्वयं नहीं खाते, बादल अपनी सींची फसल नहीं खाते। सज्जनों की संपत्ति दूसरों की भलाई के लिए होती है।
आपके पास जो कुछ है — धन, ज्ञान, प्रभाव, समय — वह दूसरों तक पहुँचकर ही सार्थक होता है। नदी की तरह देने वाला जीवन ही ताज़ा बना रहता है।
