Enemy in the Body

आलस्यं हि मनुष्याणां शरीरस्थो महारिपुः ।
नास्त्युद्यमसमो बन्धुः कुर्वाणो नावसीदति
Meaning · English
Laziness is the great enemy that lives in your own body. No friend is like effort. The one who keeps working does not sink.
अर्थ · हिन्दी
आलस्य आदमी के अपने शरीर में बैठा सबसे बड़ा दुश्मन है। मेहनत जैसा कोई दोस्त नहीं। जो काम में लगा रहता है, वह डूबता नहीं।
