Our ancient texts are a virtual treasure-trove of wise sayings, and
teachings on correct living. And this book is an attempt to draw on
this inexhaustible wealth. Here is a collection of Subhashitas
(noble sayings in Sanskrit). These sayings reveal a simple,
down-to-earth philosophy and convey important morals for the common
people with enlightening examples from Nature. Material has been
drawn fom celebrated ancient thinkers and philosophers such as
Kalidasa, Bhavabhuti, Kalhana, Bhartrihari and others. This book
brings together many of their noble sayings with translation and
elaboration in simple English. Material for the book has also been
sourced from the Vedas, Upanishads, Mahabharata, Ramayana, Puranas,
Panchatantra, Hitopadesha, Neeti Shataka and other celebrated
works. Besides being enjoyable reading, the book shows the path to
true happiness and contentment. Some Immortal Sayings: *The Sun is
red at the time of rising, and red at the time of setting too.
Similarly, noble peole remain same at the time of happiness or
distress. *Mean-minded people discriminate between people as their
own and others. For noble men, however, the whole world forms their
family. *One must accept sorrow as one accepts happiness - for
happiness and sorrow come rotating like a wheel. *People blinded by
anger disregard those who have worked for them, hurt holy men and
harm themselves. What more can they do? *Fie upon a man who lives
without helping others. Hail the animals, for they serve even after
their death, by their skin. *Mind wanders everywhere like an
intoxicated elephant. Intelligence with God-like knowledge, stops
the wandering of the mind and calms it down.
