20. na kaSchith api jaanaathi kim kasya SvaH bhavishyathi

 

athaH SvaH karaNeeyaani kuryaath adhya eva buddhimaan

 

No one knows what will happen tomorrow or for whom ther will be a tomorrow. Therefore the wise man does today itself what is to be done tomorrow.

 

SVaH is tomorrow and adhya is today. What will happen tomorrow to us or to others no one knows. What you intend to do tomorrow, especially a good act, should be done today itself.

 

This is an advice against procrastination. Often we tend to postpone things either due to laziness or because it is either difficult or undesirable. We also take things for granted and often go through life without expressing our love and appreciation to others until it is too late. Many a divorce could be prevented if only people learn to appreciate their partners and also to express it. Even towards your children you fail to express your appreciation and love then and there and when you want to say it they are out of your reach.

 

Even the mundane things like finishing the work at hand should be done immediately lest they become too burdensome later if accumulated. Above all today or present moment is in your hands and tomorrow is not in your control. Tomorrow you may have some other urgent matter to attend to and this work which could have been easily finished today will then be forgotten. Past is gone, present is here and future may not be there.
