Vairagya Shataka 63 meaning

paresham chetansi pratidivasam aradhya bahudha prasadam kim netum vishasi hridaya kleshakalitam prasanne tvayy antah svayam uditachintamanigano viviktah sankalpah kim abhilashitam pushyati na te

परेषां चेतांसि प्रतिदिवसमाराध्य बहुधा प्रसादं किं नेतुं विशसि हृदय क्लेशकलितम् प्रसन्ने त्वय्यन्तः स्वयमुदितचिन्तामणिगणो विविक्तः सङ्कल्पः किमभिलषितं पुष्यति न ते॥

O heart, why do you keep trying, day after day, in so many ways, to please other people, wearing yourself out? When you are calm within, a pure resolve, rich with wish-fulfilling gems that rise by themselves, will nourish whatever you truly want.

What it means

Constantly chasing other people's approval is exhausting. When your own mind is calm and clear, your intentions become powerful on their own. Start by making peace with yourself; the rest follows more easily.

हिंदी में अर्थ

हे मन, रोज़-रोज़ तरह-तरह से दूसरों को खुश करने में खुद को क्यों थकाता है? जब तू भीतर से प्रसन्न होगा, तो अपने आप उगने वाले चिंतामणि रत्नों जैसा निर्मल संकल्प तेरी हर सच्ची इच्छा पूरी करेगा।

हर समय दूसरों की मंज़ूरी के पीछे भागना थका देता है। जब मन शांत और साफ़ हो, तो संकल्प अपने आप ताकतवर बनते हैं। पहले खुद से सुलह करो, बाकी आसानी से आएगा।

Spoken by Bhartrihari.
