Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today highlighted the timeless Indian wisdom that places self-discipline and self-reliance at the heart of individual and national progress.
Invoking a classical Sanskrit maxim, the Prime Minister emphasised that dependence breeds distress, while mastery over one's own actions leads to lasting happiness.
In a post on X, Shri Modi wrote in Sanskrit:
"सर्वं परवशं दुःखं सर्वमात्मवशं सुखम्।
एतद् विद्यात् समासेन लक्षणं सुखदुःखयोः॥"
