Prime Minister emphasises the Essence of Self‑Reliance as the Path to True Happiness invoking a Sanskrit shloka

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॥”
