What does Traditional Sanskrit subhashita mean for the mind?
Traditional Sanskrit subhashita (widely quoted; source uncertain)
न चोरहार्यं न च राजहार्यं न भ्रातृभाज्यं न च भारकारि । व्यये कृते वर्धत एव नित्यं विद्याधनं सर्वधनप्रधानम् ॥
na cora-haryam na ca raja-haryam na bhratri-bhajyam na ca bhara-kari | vyaye krite vardhata eva nityam vidya-dhanam sarva-dhana-pradhanam ||
How to say it: na cho-ra-HAAR-yam na cha raa-ja-HAAR-yam, na bhraa-tri-BHAAJ-yam na cha bhaa-ra-KAA-ri. vya-ye KRI-te var-DHA-ta e-va NI-tyam, vid-yaa-DHA-nam sar-va-dha-na-pra-DHAA-nam.
Meaning
It cannot be stolen by thieves or seized by kings; it cannot be divided among brothers; it is no burden to carry. When it is spent it only grows. The wealth of knowledge is the chief of all wealth.
For daily life
The verse names the five troubles of ordinary wealth: theft, taxation, family division, weight and loss by spending. Knowledge escapes all five, and it is the one treasure that increases when it is shared. A teacher who explains something twice understands it better the second time.
