श्वेत वस्त्र धारी माँ, वीणा हाथ में साजे। अज्ञान का अंधकार मिटाकर, बोध का दीप जलाए।

The Divine Balance
Original
धन बिना ज्ञान अधूरा, ज्ञान बिना धन व्यर्थ। दोनों के संगम से ही, होता जग का कल्याण।
Transliteration
Dhan bina gyan adhoora, gyan bina dhan vyarth. Dono ke sangam se hi, hota jag ka kalyan.

Without knowledge, wealth is incomplete; without wealth, knowledge is futile. Only through the union of both does the welfare of the world occur.
