The phrase "you can't clap with one hand" is a proverb or saying that highlights the need for cooperation and mutual support to achieve a desired outcome. It is a universal concept found in many cultures, emphasizing that certain tasks or goals are best accomplished through teamwork rather than individual effort. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly simple actions, like clapping, require interaction and coordination, and that success often comes from working together rather than solely relying on individual capabilities.
In pursuit to get all the accolades and recognition many individuals tries to oversmart by doing all task by themselves but unfortunately they end up messing everything. To make people understand tye Sanskrit has following to say :
यथा एकेन हस्तेन तालिका न संप्रपद्यते|
तथोद्द्यम परित्यक्तं कर्मं नोत्पाद्यते फलं||
Yathaa ekena hastena taalika na samprapadyate.
Tathoddyama parityaktam karmam notpaadyate phalam.
Yathaa = for instance, just as. Ekena = by one.
Hastena = palm of a hand.
Taalika = a clap made by striking palms of both hands to applaud.
Na = not.
Samprapdyate = achieved, produced.
Tathoddyama = Tatha + uddyam.
Tathaa = similarly.
Uddyam = sincere and strenuous efforts made to achieve an objective. Boldness and willingness to try new line of action.
Parityaktam = leaving, abandoning.
Karma = doing a job.
Notpaadayate = na + utpaadyate.
Utpaadayate = produces.
Phalam = final result, also a fruit.
It states : Just as with the palm of only one hand no body can do clapping, similarly any task done without making strenuous and sincere effort can not produce the desired result.
Any work done without proper enterprise , i.e.boldness and willingness to try a new line of action, does not leadbus tonthe result. The efforts put on any task is equivalent to the other hand, which makes the job possible. Like the clapping from both hands.
