Maricha's Words for every one especially for STUDENTS

సులభాః పురుషా రాజన్ సతతం ప్రియ వాదినః |
అప్రియస్య చ పథ్యస్య వక్తా శ్రోతా చ దుర్లభః ||

Oh King, it is easy to get a person that always says words that please you. However, it is very difficult to find someone who can say something that may be unpleasant to hear but is brings welfare to you. [Context: Demon Mareecha says this to Ravana, when Ravana approaches Mareecha to help him to take Sita away and he is angry that Mareecha refused to help him initially.]
