Noble Words : Toxicity nature of money is quite common !

in Education12 days ago

Owning money can give an immense satisfaction. However, too much money can be dangerous and risky. Accumulating too much can be toxic. An unhealthy obsession with money can lead to greed, a sense of superiority, and a belief that normal rules don't apply to you, potentially resulting in unethical or selfish behavior. This is very common scenario prevalent in the society. To explain this phenomenon Sanskrit says ;

वाक् चक्षु:श्रोत्रलयं लक्ष्मीः कुरुते नरस्य को दोषः |
गरलसहोदरजाता न मारयति यच्च नच्चित्रम् ||

Vaak chakshuh shrotralayam lakshmih kurute narasya ko doshh.
Garalasahodarajaata na maarayati yaccha nachittram.

Vaak = speech.
Chakshuh = eyes.
Shrotralayam = shro + tra + Laym.
Shrotra = ears.
Layam = extinction
Kurute = does,
Narasya = a person's
Ko = what.
Doshah = blame,fault.
Garala = poison, (here a reference
to 'Halaahal' the poison produced during the 'Samudra Manthan' (churning
of Ocean) by Gods and Demons.

Sahodarajaataa = co-utrene sister, a reference to the Goddess Lakshmi, who was also brought out of the Ocean during the Samudra Manthan.
Na = not.
Maarayat = kills.
Yaccha = and that.
Nacchitram = not strange or surprising.

i.e. If the people who are blessed by Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, experience a decline in their ability to speak, see and hear, then what is the fault of those poor people in this? Is it not surprising that being the real sister of the extremely harmful poison 'Halahal', it does not take away their lives?

Often, the words of very rich people show pride and disinterest in seeing and hearing the problems of the common people. This very fact has been expressed sarcastically in this proverb in the context of the mythological story of 'Samudra Manthan' according to which both Lakshmi and Halahal poison were born from the ocean.
