Thought for the day

I found a quote from Panchatantra which says:

Ghata-itumeva neecha: para-karya;veti na prasada-itum

Pata-itumasti shaktivaryo: Vriksha na cho-nnamitum

The wicked one knows(and wants) to destroy/spoil others’ endevours and not contribute to its betterment, similarly the wind when blows can uproot a tree but it doesn’t plant it.

Wicked people are compared to the wind whose natural tendency is to destroy, when it blows, so also a wicked only knows how to spoil things. So we shouldn’t expect anything good from them.
