नैवास्याग्निर्न चादित्यो न मृत्युर्न च दस्यवः । प्रभवन्ति धनज्यानिनिर्मुक्तस्य निराशिषः ॥
naivāsyāgnirna cādityo na mṛtyurna ca dasyavaḥ | prabhavanti dhanajyāninirmuktasya nirāśiṣaḥ ||
Neither fire, nor the sun, nor death, nor robbers have power over one who is freed from wealth and its loss and who has no cravings.
जो धन और उसकी हानि से मुक्त है और जिसकी कोई कामना नहीं, उस पर न अग्नि का, न सूर्य का, न मृत्यु का, न चोरों का बल चलता है।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
What you do not cling to cannot be taken from you. Freedom from craving is a kind of safety no lock can give.
जिससे आप चिपके नहीं, वह आपसे छीना नहीं जा सकता। कामना से मुक्ति एक ऐसी सुरक्षा है जो कोई ताला नहीं दे सकता।
Mahabharata 12.170.12: Shamyaka, as Bhishma reports his words (the canonical speaker is Bhishma): neither fire, nor sun, nor death, nor robbers have power over one who is free of gaining and losing wealth and free of craving.
