PM Underscores Importance of Grasping Essence
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday shared a Sanskrit verse that underscores the timeless wisdom of focusing on the essence amid vast knowledge and limited time.
PM Modi posted on X:
“अनन्तशास्त्रं बहुलाश्च विद्याः अल्पश्च कालो बहुविघ्नता च।
यत्सारà¤ूतं तदुपासनीयं हंसो यथा क्षीरमिवाम्बुमध्यात्॥”
The verse conveys that while there are innumerable scriptures and diverse branches of knowledge for attaining wisdom, human life is constrained by limited time and numerous obstacles. Therefore, one should emulate the swan, which is believed to separate milk from water, by discerning and grasping only the essence- the ultimate truth.
