सुभाषितसुधानिधि - विद्वद्भिः सह संवसनं

एकं हि चक्षुरमलं सहजो विवेकः
    विद्वद्भिरेव सह संवसनं द्वितीयम् ।
यस्यास्ति न द्वयमिदम् स्फुटमेव सोऽधः
    तस्यापमार्गचलने वद कोऽपराधः ॥

- सुभाषितसुधानिधि

ekaM hi chakShuH amalam sahajo vivekaH
    vidvadbhiH eva saha saMvasanaM dvitIyam ।
yasyAsti na dvayam idam sphuTameva so adhaH
    tasya apamArga chalane vada ko aparAdhaH ॥

Having intelligence is like having one clean (good) eye. Being around wise men is like having the other eye. If one has not got either of them, he is as good as blind. Tell me, is there anything wrong (or surprising) that such a person would stray into bad path?
