दुर्ज्जनं सज्जनं कर्तुं उपायो नहि भूतले
अपानम् शतधा धौतं न श्रेष्ठं इन्द्रियं भवेत्
durjjanaṁ sajjanaṁ kartuṁ upāyo nahi bhūtale
apānam śatadhā dhautaṁ na śreṣṭhaṁ indriyaṁ bhavet
चाणक्य नीति
cāṇakya nīti
ദൂര്ജ്ജനം സജ്ജനം കര്ത്തും ഉപായോ ന ഹി ഭൂതലേ
അപാനം ശതധാ ധൌതം നശ്രേഷ്ഠം ഇന്ദ്രിയം ഭവേത്
there is no method availabe in the whole of earth to convert an evil fellow to a good one. Even if the excretory organs are washed thousand times, they will not get the status as the best organs in the body
Chanakya abhors evil so much that he has allowed himself to use the comparison. The process of persuading the people of evil disposition to become good samaritans is an action in futility according to the master. Habits die very hard. It is like the elephant who is given a thorough wash immediately breathes up all the dirt and throws it on his own body.
