Giving is the ornament of the hand, truth the ornament of the throat, and sacred learning the ornament of the ears. What need is there for other jewellery?
What it means
Rings, chains and earrings are nice, but they are not what people remember. Hands that give, a voice that speaks truth and ears that listen to wisdom make you beautiful in a way that lasts.हिंदी में अर्थ
हाथ का गहना दान है, गले का गहना सत्य है, और कानों का गहना शास्त्र सुनना है। फिर दूसरे गहनों की क्या ज़रूरत?
अँगूठी, हार और बालियाँ अच्छे लगते हैं, पर लोग उन्हें याद नहीं रखते। देने वाले हाथ, सच बोलने वाली ज़ुबान और ज्ञान सुनने वाले कान ही सच्ची सुंदरता हैं।
