The pearl on my beloved's neck, Afflicted sore the oyster!
Bhartrhari
Idleness is a great enemy to mankind. There is no friend like energy, for, if you cultivate that, it will never fail.
Bhartrhari
For a moment man is a boy, for a moment a lovesick youth, for a moment bereft of wealth, for a moment in the height of prosperity then at life's end with limbs worn out by old age and wrinkles adorning his face, like an actor he retires behind the curtain of death.
Bhartrhari
Trees bend low with ripened fruit clouds hang down with gentle rain noble people bow graciously. This is the way of generous things.
Bhartrhari
Three courses open lie to wealth, to give, enjoy, or lose, Who shrinketh from the former two, perforce the third doth choose.
Bhartrhari
Even the severed branch grows again, and the sunken moon returns: wise men who ponder this are not troubled in adversity.
Bhartrhari
Those from whom we were born have long since departed, and those with whom we grew up exist only in memory. We, too, through the approach of death, become, as it were, trees growing on the sandy bank of a river.
Bhartrhari
The constant man loses not his virtue in misfortune. A torch may point towards the ground, but its flame will still point upwards.
Bhartrhari
Kindness can turn the bad man's heart, and fools convert to wise, Make poison into nectar-juice, and friends of enemies.
Bhartrhari
Trees loaded with fruit are bent down the clouds when charged with fresh rain hang down near the earth: even so good men are not uplifted through prosperity. Such is the natural character of the liberal.
Bhartrhari
Knowledge is wonderful and truth serene But man in their service bleeds.
Bhartrhari
I have not wasted life, but life hath wasted me.
Bhartrhari
