अभ्यासो न हि त्यक्तव्यो अभ्यासो हि परं बलम् ।
अनभ्यासे विषं विद्या अजीर्णे भोजनं विषम् ॥
abhyāso na hi tyaktavyo abhyāso hi paraṁ balam |
anabhyāse viṣaṁ vidyā ajīrṇe bhojanaṁ viṣam ||
(Subhāṣita-mañjarī)
“Practice (abhyāsa) is never to be abandoned. Practice is indeed the greatest strength. Without practice, knowledge is poison, just as food is poison during indigestion.”
