ततस्तेषु प्रलीनेषु जाजलिर्जातविस्मयः । सिद्धोऽस्मीति मतिं चक्रे ततस्तं मान आविशत् ॥
tatasteṣu pralīneṣu jājalirjātavismayaḥ | siddho'smīti matiṃ cakre tatastaṃ māna āviśat ||
When they had vanished, Jajali was filled with wonder. "I am perfected," he thought, and then pride took hold of him.
जब वे चले गए, तो जाजलि विस्मित हुआ। "मैं सिद्ध हो गया हूँ," उसने सोचा, और तब उसमें अभिमान घुस आया।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
The moment we tell ourselves "I have made it", pride slips in, even after real effort and real goodness. Achievement is the time to watch the mind most closely.
जिस क्षण हम स्वयं से कहते हैं "मैं पहुँच गया", उसी क्षण अभिमान घुस आता है, सच्चे परिश्रम और सच्ची भलाई के बाद भी। सफलता के समय मन पर सबसे अधिक ध्यान रखना चाहिए।
Mahabharata 12.253.38. Bhishma: when the birds are gone, Jajali, amazed at himself, concludes he is perfected, and pride enters him.
