सुभाषितम्

यो ध्रुवाणि परित्यज्य हि अध्रुवं परिषेवते।

Sanskrit Proverb on Advice
Sanskrit

यो ध्रुवाणि परित्यज्य हि अध्रुवं परिषेवते।
ध्रुवाणि तस्य नश्यन्ति हि अध्रुवं नष्टम् एव च॥

yo dhruvāṇi parityajya hi adhruvaṃ pariṣevate।
dhruvāṇi tasya naśyanti hi adhruvaṃ naṣṭam eva ca॥

Meaning in English

A bird in hand is better than two in the bush. This means, one should be content with what he/she has rather than aspire for something that one does not have. Trying to do so may make one lose what they have and what they aspired for was not there anyways.

भावार्थ

जो व्यक्ति, निश्चित प्राप्त होनेवाली चीज को छोड़कर, जिस चीज के पाने की अनिश्चितता है, उसके पीछे लगता है, उस व्यक्ति के हाथ से जो निश्चित है वह भी नष्ट हो जाता है और अनिश्चित चीज पहले से ही नष्ट होती है।
