गुणाः कुर्वन्ति दूतत्वं दूरेऽपि वसतां सताम् । केतकीगन्धमाघ्राय स्वयमायान्ति षट्पदाः ॥

Virtues act as messengers even for good people who live far away. Smelling the fragrance of the ketaki flower, bees come to it on their own.

What it means
You don't have to chase recognition or opportunities. Build real qualities and they will travel ahead of you, like fragrance on the wind. People find those who are genuinely good.

हिंदी में अर्थ

गुण दूर रहने वाले सज्जनों के भी दूत बन जाते हैं। केतकी की सुगंध पाकर भौंरे स्वयं उसके पास आ जाते हैं।

पहचान या अवसरों के पीछे भागने की ज़रूरत नहीं। सच्चे गुण बनाइए, वे हवा में सुगंध की तरह आपसे आगे पहुँच जाएँगे। लोग सच्चे अच्छे लोगों को ढूँढ ही लेते हैं।
