MANASVI KAARYAARTHI
NA GANAYATI DUKHAM NA CHA SUKHAM
On the way to achieving his goal, if the need arises a man of action is not deterred to sleep on bare floor as against a cozy bed, to eat raw vegetables and herbs as against delicious food, and to wear rags as against silken clothes. While pursuing the objective, he is neither deterred by the hardships nor distracted by the comforts.
From Bhartrihari Subhashita, this is one of my favorite slokas.
