सुभाषितम्

सुभाषितम्   अमंत्रमक्षरं नास्ति,नास्ति मूलम् अनौषधम्| अयोग्यः पुरुषो नास्ति,योजकः तत्र दुर्लभः||  amantramaksharam nAsti, nAsti mUlam anoushadham | ayOgya: purusho nAsti, yojaka:tatra durlabha:||    There is no sound that is not a mantra, no plant that is not medicinal |  there is no person unworthy, what is rare is an 'enabler' ||    What moral is learnt from this सुभाषितम् ?  This सुभाषितम् endorses a very positive outlook for one to look at oneself and for everyone to look at others also. Many people would end up being "weak" कृश or दुर्बल by considering themselves weak – good for nothing. One must strongly believe and have faith that God endows everyone with some aptitude or other. What is needed is to find that out.     योजकः also does not have to be somebody else. We need to be our own योजकः !! Unfortunately this does not happen with every other person. That is why the poet says योजकस्तत्र दुर्लभः !! This part of the verse sounds to be having a negative tone but we can take it as signaling positive, if we understand that we ourselves are योजकः for us!
