3 Wastes

=========================

अप्रगल्भस्य या विध्या कृपणस्य च यद्धनं।*
*यच्च बाहुबलं भीरोः व्यर्थमेतत् त्रय्ं भुवि॥*
*भोजप्रबन्धम् बल्ललदेवस्य*
*apragalbhasya yā vidhyā kṛpaṇasya ca yaddhanaṁ|*
*yacca bāuhubalaṁ bhīroḥ vyarthametat trayṁ bhuvi||*
*bhojaprabandham ballaladevasya*

*

*These three things are sheer waste in this world. Knowledge of a person
who is not capable of putting such knowledge to appropriate use. Wealth in
the hands of a miser and excessive body strength possessed by a coward.*
*Mere knowledge which is not applied through proper action or by suitable
imparting will remain unseen and unnoticed and the scholar may live long to
die in obscurity. If someone has immense wealth and he is always hesitant
to spend even a penny, the wealth will either get stolen or when he dies
will go away to somebody and will be wasted freely. Through heavy eating
and with or without exercise one can possess immense physical strength. But
if the person is a mere coward with no strength of mind or sense of purpose
such great power will go completely waste. *
