Subhashitas Subhashita 298 meaning
grasad ardham api grasam arthibhyah kim na yachchasi
ichchanuroopo vibhavah kada kasya bhavishyati
ग्रासादर्धमपि ग्रासमर्थिभ्यः किं न यच्छसि ।
इच्छानुरूपो विभवः कदा कस्य भविष्यति ॥
Why not give even half a mouthful to those who ask? When will anyone ever have as much wealth as they wish?
What it means
Waiting until you are 'rich enough' to give means never giving, because that day never comes. Start where you are: a small share of a meal, a little time, a modest donation. Generosity is a habit, not an amount.हिंदी में अर्थ
माँगने वालों को आधा कौर भी क्यों नहीं देते? इच्छा के अनुसार धन कब, किसके पास होगा?
देने के लिए 'पर्याप्त अमीर' होने का इंतज़ार कभी खत्म नहीं होता। जहाँ हैं वहीं से शुरू कीजिए: भोजन का थोड़ा हिस्सा, थोड़ा समय, छोटा दान। उदारता आदत है, रकम नहीं।
