कराग्रे वसते लक्ष्मी... -देवसुत

कराग्रे वसते लक्ष्मी
करमध्ये सरस्वती
करमूले तू गोविन्द:
प्रभाते करदर्शनम् |

Meaning:
Forehand (कर) - the front of (अग्रे) - as in "fingers", is the residence of Laxmi (wealth),
the palm - middle (मध्ये) of forehand - is the residence of Saraswati (knowledge) - as we keep the books in the reading position on the palm,
the beginning (मूले) of the forehand - wrist joint - is where Govind (super god - that willed the universe to manifest) resides.
I revere my hand in the morning - which helps me get through the day.

Importance: This mantra is supposed to be recited as soon as one opens one's eyes in the morning. The subject is advised to keep his palms in open position, together like a book before opening the eyes and recite the mantra looking at the palms in reverence. Reciting it once is enough. Daily routine is emphasized for best results during the work day. When practiced regularly, it brings prosperity and mental peace to the subject. A difficult combination indeed!

यस्य कृत्यं न जानन्ति... -विदुर नीति

यस्य कृत्यं न जानन्ति मन्त्रं वा मन्त्रितं परे |
कृतमेवास्य जानन्ति स वै पण्डित उच्यते ||

- महाभारत (विदुर नीति )

भावार्थ - जिस व्यक्ति द्वारा भविष्य में किये जाने वाले कार्यों के
बारे में मन्त्रणा (विचार) करने, निश्चय करने तथा उसके पश्चात
क्रियान्वयन होने तक अन्य व्यक्ति कुछ भी नहीं जानते हैं , वही
एक पण्डित कहलाता है |

(प्रस्तुत सुभाषित में किसी भी योजना को क्रियान्वित करणे से पूर्व
विचार विमर्श तथा निर्णय को तब तक गोपनीय रखने का परामर्श
दिया गया है जब तक वह कार्य प्रारम्भ न कर दिया जाय | ऐसा नहीं
करने से योजना में अनेक विघ्न बाधायें उत्पन्न हो जाती हैं | )

Yasya krutyam na jaananti mantram vaa mantritam pare.
Krutamevasya jaananti sa vai pandit uchyate,

Yasya = whose. Krutyam = deeds. Na = not. Jaananti =
Know. Mantram = consultation. Vaa = or. Mantritam =
already consulted. Pare = later, afterwards. Krutam+eva +
asya. Krutam=done. Eva =really. Asya = this. JaananIi=
know.. Sa = that person. Vai = only. Pandira = a learned
person. Uchyate = is called.

i.e. A person , whose actions about a project undertaken by
him are not known to others during the stages of consultations,
finalisation, and implementation , and they know about it when
it is completed, is truly called a learned person.
