अभिज्ञानशाकुन्तल - परपरिग्रह

कुमुदान्येव शशांकः सविता बोधयति पंकजान्येव ।
वशिनां हि परपरिग्रहसंश्लेषपराज्ञ्मुखी वृत्तिः ॥

- अभिज्ञानशाकुन्तल

kumudAni eva shashAnkaH savitA bodhayati pankajAni eva ।
vashinAM hi paraparigraha saMshleSha parAnmukhI vRutttiH ॥

- abhijnAnashAkuntala

Moon blooms water lilies. Sun blooms the lotuses. Both of them are in the same pond, yet one does not bloom the other flowers. Those who have their sense under control are like the sun and the moon; they have least interest with things that belong to others.

एकस्यापि न यः शक्तो मनसः संनिबर्हणे ।
महीं सागरपर्यंतां स कथं विजिगीषते ॥

- सुभाषितसुधानिधि

If one can not control one thing - his own mind, then how can he hope to conquer the whole world surrounded by seas.
