The phrase "āropyate śilā śaile yathā yatnena bhūyasā। nipātyate sukhenādhastathātmā guṇadoṣayoḥ॥" is in Sanskrit and is from the ancient Indian text called "Hitopadeśa," which is a collection of fables. The verse can be translated as follows: "Just as a stone, when placed on a mountain with effort, falls down easily, similarly, a person, after gaining virtues or vices, becomes inclined towards them effortlessly." This verse illustrates the idea that once certain qualities, whether positive (virtues) or negative (vices), are acquired, they become inherent and natural to a person, influencing their actions and character effortlessly. The analogy of a stone on a mountain emphasizes the inevitability and ease with which one's acquired qualities manifest in their behavior. (Vocals by Ravi Patel)
