Subhashitas Subhashita 431 meaning
ekakee grihasantyaktah panipatro digambarah
sopi sambadhyate loke trishnaya pashya kautukam
एकाकी गृहसंत्यक्तः पाणिपात्रो दिगम्बरः ।
सोऽपि संबाध्यते लोके तृष्णया पश्य कौतुकम् ॥
Look how strange it is: even a lone ascetic who has left his home, eats from his palms and wears only the sky, is still troubled in this world by craving.
What it means
Giving up things is not the same as giving up wanting. Desire can follow you into any lifestyle, even the simplest one. The real work is inside: noticing the want and gently letting it pass.हिंदी में अर्थ
देखो कितना अजीब है: घर छोड़ चुका, हथेली को ही पात्र बनाने वाला, दिशाओं को ही वस्त्र मानने वाला अकेला साधु भी इस संसार में तृष्णा से परेशान रहता है।
चीज़ें छोड़ना और चाहना छोड़ना एक बात नहीं। इच्छा किसी भी जीवनशैली में पीछे आ सकती है, सबसे सादी में भी। असली काम भीतर है — चाहत को पहचानकर उसे धीरे से जाने देना।
