Slave with a Load
Hitopadesha
सा तृष्णा चेत् परित्यक्ता को दरिद्रः क ईश्वरः ।
तस्याश्चेत् प्रसरो दत्तो दास्यं च शिरसि स्थितम्
Meaning · English
If you drop craving, there is no poor and no rich. If you give it room, you are a slave with a load on your head.
अर्थ · हिन्दी
तृष्णा छोड़ दो तो न कोई गरीब है, न कोई अमीर। उसे जगह दे दो तो सिर पर बोझ लिए गुलाम बन जाओगे।
