akritva shatrusanharam agatv-akhilabhooshriyam
raj-aham iti shabdan no raja bhavitum arhati
अकृत्वा शत्रुसंहारमगत्वाखिलभूश्रियम् ।
राजाहमिति शब्दान्नो राजा भवितुमर्हति ॥
Without defeating his enemies and winning the wealth of the whole land, no one becomes a king just by saying 'I am the king'.
What it means
Affirmations without effort are empty. Declaring yourself enlightened, confident or successful is meaningless until the inner work is done. Titles and claims mean little; real change is earned through quiet, honest effort.हिंदी में अर्थ
शत्रुओं को हराए बिना और पूरी धरती का वैभव पाए बिना, कोई केवल 'मैं राजा हूँ' कहने से राजा नहीं बन जाता।
मेहनत के बिना दोहराए दावे खोखले हैं। खुद को ज्ञानी, आत्मविश्वासी या सफल घोषित करना तब तक बेमानी है जब तक भीतर का काम न हो।
Spoken by Adi Shankaracharya.
