Subhashitas Subhashita 268 meaning
upakritisahasikataya kshatim api ganayanti no guninah
janayanti hi prakasham deepashikhah svangadahena
उपकृतिसाहसिकतया क्षतिमपि गणयन्ति नो गुणिनः ।
जनयन्ति हि प्रकाशं दीपशिखाः स्वाङ्गदाहेन ॥
Eager to help, the virtuous do not count even their own loss. Lamp flames give light by burning their own bodies.
What it means
Real help sometimes costs you something — time, comfort, money. The best people don't keep a running tally of what giving costs them. Like a lamp, they simply shine.हिंदी में अर्थ
उपकार के उत्साह में गुणवान अपनी हानि भी नहीं गिनते। दीपक की लौ अपना शरीर जलाकर प्रकाश देती है।
सच्ची मदद में कभी अपना कुछ लगता है — समय, आराम, धन। सबसे अच्छे लोग इसका हिसाब नहीं रखते। दीपक की तरह वे बस रोशनी देते हैं।
