difficult to attain something solid and worthwhile merely by chance

 

चेष्टामकुर्वन् लभते यदि किञ्चिद्यदृच्छया।

यो वा न लभते कृत्वा दुर्दर्शो तावुभावपि॥

ceṣṭāmakurvan labhate yadi kiñcidyadṛcchayā|

yo vā na labhate kṛtvā durdarśo tāvubhāvapi||

It is indeed very difficult to find people who attain something solid and worthwhile by chance, even without doing anything. Equally rare are people who have worked and toiled hard but have achieved nothing. (In the days of Mahabharatham, people believed in working hard and not in deceptions and shortcuts)
