ವ್ಯಸನ ( ಕೆಟ್ಟ ಅಭ್ಯಾಸ ) ಮತ್ತು ಸಾವು ಇವುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ವ್ಯಸನವೇ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಹಾನಿಯನ್ನುಂಟು ಮಾಡುತ್ತದೆ. ವ್ಯಸನವಿಲ್ಲದವನು ಸತ್ತು ಸ್ವರ್ಗ ಸೇರಿದರೆ ವ್ಯಸನಿಯು ದಿನೇ ದಿನೇ ಕೆಳಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋಗುತ್ತಾನೆ.
बुरी आदत और मौत इनमें से बुरी आदत ही अधिक हानिकारक है । जिसका बुरी आदत नहीं है वह मरके स्वर्ग पहुंचता है, पर व्यसनी दिन प्रतिदिन नीचे जाता है ।
Between vice and death, the former is more harmful. One who is free from vices reaches heaven on his death but one who has vices falls down to lower and lower levels, day after day.

A calf recognizes its mother among thousands of cows; similarly, previous deeds go with the doer.
***
आजगाम यदा लक्ष्मीर्नारिकेलफलाम्बुवत् |
निर्जगाम यदा लक्ष्मीर्गजभुक्तकपित्थवत् ||
Whenever wealth accumulates with a person it is just like the sweet water collected inside the fruits of a Coconut tree, but when it departs it is like a tree devastated by an elephant for feeding him.

अनाहूतः प्रविशति अपृष्टो बहु भाषते ।
अविश्वस्ते विश्वसिति मूढचेता नराधमः ॥
--
Going to places un-invited, taking too much when not asked, trusting the unworthy are the qualities of a foolish people.

ಆಮಂತ್ರಣ ಇಲ್ಲದೆ ಹೋಗುವುದು ,ಹೇಳದಿದ್ದರೂ ಅತಿಯಾಗಿ ತೆಗೆಯುವುದು, ಅನರ್ಹರನ್ನು ನಂಬುವುದು ಎಲ್ಲವೂ ಮೂರ್ಖರ ಲಕ್ಷಣಗಳು

चला लक्ष्मीश्चला: प्राणाश्चले जीवितमन्दिरे |
चलाचले च संसारे धर्म एको हि निश्चलः ||
- चाणक्य नीति
Wealth acquired by a person is always unsteady and perishable, and so also the life force enshrined in human body. All worldly existence is also perishable, but surely only the 'Dharma' is invariable.

Greatness is not according to where you sit, but your intrinsic qualities.
---
गुणैरुत्तुंगतां याति नोत्तुंगेनासनेन वै |
प्रासादशिखरस्थोऽपि काको न गरुडायते ||
---
One becomes great by means of virtues and not just by occupying a high position. A crow sitting on the top of a palace is not regarded as an eagle.
---
ಗುಣಗಳಿಂದ ಮಹಾನ್ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಗಳಾಗುತ್ತೇವೆ, ಉನ್ನತ ಹುದ್ದೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಇರುವುದರಿಂದಲ್ಲ. ಅರಮನೆಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಕುಳಿತಿರುವ ಕಾಗೆಯನ್ನು ಗರುಡ ಪಕ್ಷಿ ಎಂದು ಪರಿಗಣಿಸುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.
***
तुल्यवर्णच्छदः कृष्णः कोकिलैः सह संगतः |
केन विज्ञायते काकः स्वयं यदि न भाषते ||
The outward appearance of a Crow and a Cuckoo bird and the colour of their feathers is the same and they also live together. So , who can distinguish between them unless the crow himself doesnot speak.
***
Losing control and losing sight in anger
---
वाच्यावाच्यं प्रकुपितो न विजानाति कर्हिचित्।
नाकार्यमस्ति क्रुद्धस्य नावाच्यं विद्यते क्वचित् ॥
---
One who is angry does not distinguish between what can be spoken and what is unspeakable. An angry person cannot be stopped from any action. There is nothing unspeakable for an angry person.
---
ಕೋಪಿಷ್ಟನಿಗೆ ಏನು ಮಾತಾಡಬೇಕು ಏನು ಮಾತಾಡಬಾರದು ಎನ್ನುವ ಬೇದ ಗೊತ್ತಿರುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಕೋಪಿಷ್ಟನ ಕಾರ್ಯವನ್ನು ನಿಲ್ಲಿಸಲಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಯಾವುದೇ ಕೋಪಿಷ್ಟನಿಗೆ ಮಾತನಾಡಬಾರದೆಂಬುದೇ ಇರುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.

येषां न विद्या न तपो न दानं ज्ञानं न शीलं न गुणो न धर्मः |
ते मृत्युलोके भुवि भार भूता मनुष्य रूपेण मृगाश्चरन्ति ||
Uneducated, are not austere and charitable, do not have moral character, virtues and are not religious minded, are a burden on the Earth we live in, and are just like animals in the form of human beings .

कुलीनैः सह संपर्कं पण्डितैः सह मित्रताम्।

A person who is in always in constant touch with people who are born in good families who seeks the friendship of learned scholars and who mixes and enjoys in the company of his own kin would never face destruction or damage.

ಎಲ್ಲ ಕರ್ಮಗಳನ್ನೂ ನನಗೆ ಅರ್ಪಿಸಿ, ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗಿ ಅರಿತುಕೊಂಡು, ಫಲಾಪೇಕ್ಷೆಯಿಲ್ಲದೆ, ಒಡೆತನದ ಭಾವವಿಲ್ಲದೆ, ಜಡತ್ವವಿಲ್ಲದೆ ನಿನ್ನ ಕೆಲಸ(ಯುದ್ಧ) ಮಾಡು.

Check for the intrinsic quality before mentoring
---
जलसेकेन वर्धन्ते तरवो नाश्मसंचयाः ।
भव्यो हि द्रव्यतामेति क्रियां प्राप्य तथाविधाम् II
---
Trees, and not heaps of stones, grow when water is given. An object of good quality alone becomes a worthy object when it is taken care of in an appropriate manner.
--
ನೀರು ಹಾಕಿದಾಗ ಮರ ಬೆಳೆಯುತ್ತದೆ, ಕಲ್ಲಿನ ರಾಶಿಯಲ್ಲ. ಉತ್ತಮ ಗುಣಮಟ್ಟದ ವಸ್ತು ಮಾತ್ರ ಸೂಕ್ತ ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪಾಲನೆ ಮಾಡಿದಾಗ ಯೋಗ್ಯ ವಸ್ತುವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.

The Union of the Four - Beware
---
यौवनं धनसम्पत्तिः प्रभुत्वम् अविवेकता
एकैकमपि अनर्थाय किं यत्र चतुष्ठयम्
(- हितोपदेश)
---
Youth, Wealth, Power, Thoughtlessness - each on its own can cause havoc. What can be said when all the four converge!
---
ಯೌವನ, ಧನಸಂಪತ್ತು, ಪ್ರಭುತ್ವ, ಅವಿವೇಕತೆ - ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದೂ ಅದರಷ್ಟಕ್ಕೇ ಅನರ್ಥಕಾರಿ. ಈ ನಾಲ್ಕೂ ಸೇರಿದರೆ ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಏನೆನ್ನೋಣ!
~ ಹಿತೋಪದೇಶ.

नान्नोदकसमं दानं न तिथिर्द्वादशी समा।
ना गायत्र्याः परो मन्त्रो न मातुर्दैवतं परम्।
Offering food and water is the biggest of all donations. Dwadashi is the holiest day. Gayatri mantra is greatest of all the mantras and mother is above all the deities.

सहजान्धदृशः स्वदुर्नये परदोषेक्षणदिव्यचक्षुषः |
स्वगुणोच्चगिरो मुनिव्रत्ताः परवर्णग्रहणेष्वसाधवः ||
Blind to short-comings in self, these people have extremely good sight while finding fault in others. They display loud voice when talking about self and a saint-like silence when praising others. Such is the nature of bad people.

Who is fit to be a Leader?
---
न गणस्याग्रतो गच्छेत्
सिद्धे कार्ये समं फलम् ।
यदि कार्यविपत्तिः स्यात्
मुखरस्तत्र हन्यते ॥
---
One should never lead a team because everyone gets equal share on success, but the leader is held responsible in case of any failure.
*****
नारीकेलसमाकारा दृश्यन्तेपि हि सज्जनाः ।
अन्ये बदरिकाकारा बहिरेव मनोहराः ॥
Good people are like coconuts-Harsh from outside but very soft and sweet from inside. In contrast the bad ones are like berries - only soft from outside, but hard inside!
****
छायामन्यस्य कुर्वन्ति तिष्ठन्ति स्वयमातपे ।
फलान्यपि परार्थाय वृक्षाः सत्पुरुषा इव ॥
Trees make shade for others, even by standing themselves in Sun. They also provide fruits for others to enjoy. Trees are indeed, like good people.
ಉನ್ನತ ಉದಾತ್ತ ಮನುಜರಂತೆ, ಬಿಸಿಲಲಿ ನಿಂತರೆ ನೆರಳ ನೀಡುವುದು ಮರ, ತಾ ತಿನ್ನದಿದ್ದರೂ ಪರರಿಗಾಗಿ ಹಣ್ಣ ನೀಡುವುದು ಮರ.
**
See faults in oneself first
---
खल: सर्षप मात्राणि परच्छिद्राणि पश्यसि।
आत्मनो बिल्वमात्राणि पश्यन्नपि न पश्यसि
---
A wicked person easily detects in others faults as tiny as a mustard seed. However he does not see his own easily detectable faults as big as Bilva [wood apple] fruit.
--
ದುಷ್ಟನು ಇನ್ನೊಬ್ಬರಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಸಾಸುವೆ ಕಾಳಷ್ಟು ದೋಷವನ್ನು ಕಂಡು ಹಿಡಿಯುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಆದರೆ ತನ್ನಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಬಿಲ್ವಫಲದಷ್ಟು ದೊಡ್ಡ ತಪ್ಪಿದ್ದರೂ ಅವನು ಕಾಣುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.

Take equally both joys and sorrows that come in Because in life the cycle of joys and sorrows keep changing.
*****
अपि मानुष्यकं लब्ध्वा भवन्ति ज्ञानिनो न ये ।
पशुतैव वरा तेषां प्रत्यवायाप्रवर्तनात् ।।
If, even after having acquired human birth, those who do not become truly wise, it is far better that they are born as beasts; for then they will do no mischief to others.

Think About the Consequences before Doing something
---
गुणवदगुणवद्वा कुर्वता कार्यमादौ
परिणतिरवधार्यां यत्नत: पण्डितेन।
अतिरभसकृतानां कर्मणामाविपत्ते-
र्भवति हृदयदाही शल्यतुल्यो विपाक:॥
---
Before initiating any kind of action, wise people should carefully ponder over its good and bad consequences. Otherwise, the bad outcomes of an act done in haste keeps piercing the heart like a thorn until death.
--
ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನು ಪ್ರಾರಂಬಿಸುವ ಮೊದಲು ವಿವೇಕಿಗಳು ಅವುಗಳ ಗುಣಾವಗುಣಗಳ ಪರಿಣಾಮವನ್ನು ಜಾಗರೂಕತೆಯಿಂದ ವಿಚಾರ ಮಾಡಬೇಕು. ಇಲ್ಲವಾದರೆ, ಅವಸರದಿಂದ ಮಾಡಿದ ಕೆಲಸದ ಕೆಟ್ಟ ಪರಿಣಾಮ ಜೀವನಪರ್ಯಂತ ಹೃದಯವನ್ನು ಮುಳ್ಳಿನಂತೆ ಚುಚ್ಚುತ್ತಿರುತ್ತದೆ.

A person with patience cannot be provoked
---
क्षमा शस्त्रंकरे यस्य दुर्ज्जन किं करिष्यति
अतृणे परितो वह्निः स्व्यमेवोपशाम्यति
---
In whose hand the weapon called 'patience' is there - what can an evil-minded person do to him?
If there is no dry grass around, fire settles by itself.

What is gain? Company of good people. What is pain? Company of fools. What is loss? Wastage of time. What is skill? Passion for the right principles. Who is valiant? One who has conquered his senses. Who is dear to the spouse? One who walks along. What is wealth? Learning. What is happiness? Not being in a far away land. What is kingdom? The power to command people.

ಲಾಭ ಯಾವುದು? ಗುಣವಂತರ ಸಂಘ. ನೋವು ಯಾವುದು? ಮೂರ್ಖರ ಸಂಘ. ನಷ್ಟ ಯಾವುದು? ಕಾಲಹರಣ. ನಿಪುಣತೆ ಯಾವುದು? ಧರ್ಮತತ್ವದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಮಹದಾಸಕ್ತಿ. ಶೂರ ಯಾರು? ಇಂದ್ರಿಯಗಳನ್ನು ಜಯಸಿದವನು. ಪ್ರಿಯತಮರಿಗೆ ಪ್ರಿಯವಾದುದು…

Advice given to fools makes them angry and lose calm. Like milk fed to snake increases the venom.

वरं एको गुणी पुत्रो न च मूर्खशतान्यपि ।
एकश्चंद्रस्तमो हन्ति न च तारागणोपि च ॥
It is better to have one son with all good qualities than have a hundred of them who are stupid. Just like it is one moon that lights up the night and not the entire constellations of stars put together.
ಹೇಗೆ ಆಗಸದಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಒಂದು ಚಂದ್ರನು ಸಹಸ್ರಾರು ನಕ್ಷತ್ರಪುಂಜಗಳು ಬೆಳಗಿಸುವ ಬೆಳಕಿಗಿಂತ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಬೆಳಕನ್ನು ಕೊಡುತ್ತಾನೋ ಹಾಗೆ,ನೂರು ಮೂರ್ಖಮಕ್ಕಳಿರುವುದಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಉತ್ತಮ ಗುಣಗಳನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿರುವ ಒಬ್ಬ ಪುತ್ರನಿದ್ದರೆ ಸಾಕು.

चिन्तनीया हि विपदामादावेव प्रतिक्रिया ।
न कूपखनन्ं युक्तं प्रदीप्ते वह्निना गृहे ॥

Our responses to difficulties should be considered well in advance.It is no good to start digging a well when the house is on fire !

Observe more, Speak less

ईक्षणं द्विगुणं प्रोक्ताम् भाषणस्येति वेधसा ।
अक्षि द्वे मनुष्याणाम् जिव्हा त्वैकेव निर्मिता ॥
--
It is said that observing is twice as much important as speaking. This is why Nature has provided us with two eyes, and just one tongue.

ನೋಡುವುದು ಮಾತಾಡುವುದಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಎರಡು ಪಟ್ಟು ಮುಖ್ಯವಾದುದು. ಅದಕ್ಕಾಗಿಯೇ ಪ್ರಕೃತಿ ನಮಗೆ ಎರಡು ಕಣ್ಣುಗಳು, ಮತ್ತು ಒಂದೇ ನಾಲಿಗೆ ಕೊಟ್ಟಿದೆ.

Between a wicked man and a venomous snake, the snake is better. Since a snake bites occasionally while a wicked man inflicts pain at every step.
ಒಂದು ದುಷ್ಟ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿ ಮತ್ತು ಒಂದು ವಿಷಪೂರಿತ ಹಾವಿನ ನಡುವೆ ಹಾವು ಉತ್ತಮ. ಹಾವು ಕೆಲವೊಂದು ಸಂದರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿ ಕಚ್ಚುತ್ತದೆ ಆದರೆ ಒಂದು ದುಷ್ಟ ಮನುಷ್ಯ ಪ್ರತಿ ಹಂತದಲ್ಲಿ ನೋವು ಉಂಟುಮಾಡುತ್ತಾನೆ .

One who stands by our side during a calamity is the true friend. Otherwise, during prosperity, even wicked persons too, will become friends.
