The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi today shared a profound Sanskrit Subhashitam that underscores
the timeless wisdom of focusing on the essence amid vast knowledge and limited time.
The sanskrit verse-
अनन्तशां बहुलाश्च वाः अल्पश्च कालो बहुवघ्नता च।
यारभूतं तदपु ासनीयं हसं ो यथा ीरमवाुमात्॥
conveys that while there are innumerable scriptures and diverse branches of knowledge for attaining
wisdom, human life is constrained by limited time and numerous obstacles. Therefore, one should emulate
the swan, which is believed to separate milk from water, by discerning and grasping only the essence- the
ultimate truth.
