A few sanskrit slokas

It is appraisal time in the company where I work. And the company's internal blogs are full of posts about the appraisal process. One of the blog post, started with the sloka below. I couldnt but help laughing. Our sanskrit slokas seem to have a say about everything :) 

अमंत्रमक्षरं नास्ति वनस्पतिरनौषधम् ।

अयोग्यः पुरुषो नास्ति योजकस्तत्र दुर्लभः ॥

- समयोचितपद्यमालिका

Amantram aksharam nasti,Nasti mulam na aushadham;

Ayogyah purusho nasti,Yojakah tatra durlabhah

There is no letter in the scriipt that is not a mantra, a chanting, a principle;what we need is a Pandit, a scholar to put the letters to form in to meaningful word.There is no root / plant without medicinal value; what we need is a doctor to diagnose it.

There is none in this world who is ineligible, inefficient, ineffective;what we need is a Yojaka( MANAGER) who manifests it.Its very difficult to get correct Yojaka- We therefore approach the young minds with firm belief within that they are ayogyah nasti.

Below are a few more slokas that made me smile. 

मौनान्मूकः प्रचनपटुश्चाटुलो जल्पको वा

घृष्टः पाश्चेर् भवति च वसन्दूरतोप्यप्रगल्भः ।

क्षान्त्या भीरुर्यादि न सहते प्रायशो नाभिजातः

सेवाधर्मः परमगहनो यो्गिनामप्यगम्यः ॥

The duty of service is most difficult to be understood; it is beyond the understanding of even sages; (for a servant is called), is called dumb if he is silent! (if he is) ready with answer, he is talkative or garrulous; if he stands near, he is impident; and if he keeps at a distance, he is timid; if he bears patiently, he is a coward; if he can not brook (harsh words, insults), he is generally considered unmannerly.

आपाण्डुराः शिरसिजास्त्रिवली कपोले

दन्तावली किलिता न च मे विषादः ।

एणीदशो युवतयः पाथि मां विलोक्य

तातेति भाषणपराः खलु वज्रपातः ॥

My temples are grey. My cheeks are without the rows of teeth within. My body is wrinkled. This doesn't bother me much. But when those doe-eyed young women call me Taat (a father figure/grandfather), it hits me worse than a lightning.

आयुषः क्षण एकोऽपि सर्वरत्नैर्न न लभ्यते।

नीयते स वृथा येन प्रमादः सुमहानहो ॥2॥

You cannot trade or buy back even a second of time when it has run out, with all the jewels in the world. So, to simply waste time when you have it is the biggest mistake of all.
