apriyavachan-angarair dagdhopi na vipriyam vadaty-aryah
kim dahyamanam agaru svabhavasurabhim parityajati
अप्रियवचनाङ्गारैर्दग्धोऽपि न विप्रियं वदत्यार्यः ।
किं दह्यमानमगरु स्वभावसुरभिं परित्यजति ॥
Even when burned by the hot coals of unkind words, a noble person does not answer unkindly. Does fragrant agarwood give up its natural scent even while it is burning?
What it means
When someone insults you, you get to choose whether they also change who you are. Like incense that smells sweeter as it burns, stay gracious under pressure. Your response reveals your nature.हिंदी में अर्थ
कड़वे शब्दों के अंगारों से जलाए जाने पर भी सज्जन कड़वा नहीं बोलता। क्या जलती हुई अगरु की लकड़ी अपनी स्वाभाविक सुगंध छोड़ देती है?
जब कोई अपमान करे, तो आप तय करते हैं कि वह आपका स्वभाव भी बदले या नहीं। जलती अगरबत्ती की तरह दबाव में भी शालीन रहिए।
