अर्थ

यह वही प्रसिद्ध श्लोक है जिसने संसार को अमर वाक्य 'वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्' दिया — सम्पूर्ण पृथ्वी एक परिवार है। हितोपदेश में संरक्षित और महोपनिषद में प्रतिध्वनित यह श्लोक सिखाता है कि लोगों को 'अपने' और 'पराये' में बाँटना संकीर्ण मन का लक्षण है, जबकि उदार-हृदय वाले समस्त मानवता को एक कुटुम्ब मानते हैं। यह विश्व-बन्धुत्व, करुणा और वैश्विक सामंजस्य का मार्गदर्शक आदर्श बन गया है।

उत्पत्ति और कथा

Hitopadesha (Subhashita); phrase also in the Maha Upanishad · Narayana Pandita (compiler of the Hitopadesha) · Classical Sanskrit literature; Upanishadic tradition

The Hitopadesha records this verse among its store of niti-shlokas teaching nobility of character. Its concluding words, 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,' also resound in the Maha Upanishad and have, across the centuries, become India's emblematic statement of universal kinship — that the truly great in spirit regard the whole earth as their own family.

शास्त्रों में वर्णित

So enduring is this verse that 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' has been inscribed in halls of national and international gatherings as a guiding vision; sages teach that the heart which truly absorbs it loses all fear of the 'other' and finds friendship everywhere it turns.

अयं निजः परो वेति गणना लघुचेतसाम्। उदारचरितानां तु वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्॥

ayaṁ nijaḥ paro veti gaṇanā laghu-cetasām। udāra-caritānāṁ tu vasudhaiva kuṭumbakam॥

अर्थ:"यह अपना है और वह पराया" — ऐसी गणना तो संकीर्ण-हृदय (छोटे मन वाले) लोगों की होती है; परन्तु उदार-हृदय वालों के लिए तो सम्पूर्ण पृथ्वी ही एक कुटुम्ब (परिवार) है। यह श्लोक क्षुद्रता की संकीर्ण सोच की तुलना उस उदार दृष्टि से करता है जो समस्त मानवता को अपना परिवार मानती है।
