PM shares Sanskrit Subhashitam highlighting the transformative power of true knowledge

26 May, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, said that true knowledge paves the way for the welfare of the nation, society and the entire humanity. He noted that it is important that our knowledge and actions become a source of inspiration for all humankind.

The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam-

"आत्मा शुद्धः सदा नित्यः सुखरूपः स्वयम्प्रभः।

अज्ञानान्मलिनो भाति ज्ञानाच्छुद्धो भवत्ययम्‌।। "

The Subhashitam conveys that the the Ātman is by nature always pure, eternal, blissful, and self-luminous. However, because of ignorance, it appears impure; through true knowledge, it once again reveals its pure nature.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

"सच्चा ज्ञान देश, समाज और समस्त मानवता के कल्याण का मार्ग प्रशस्त करता है। इसलिए यह जरूरी है कि हमारा ज्ञान और हमारे कर्म पूरी मानवता के लिए प्रेरणा बनें।

आत्मा शुद्धः सदा नित्यः सुखरूपः स्वयम्प्रभः।

अज्ञानान्मलिनो भाति ज्ञानाच्छुद्धो भवत्ययम्‌।।"
