Chanakya Neethi Part 17/17..
1. The scholar who has acquired knowledge by studying innumerable books without the blessings of a bonafide spiritual master does not shine in an assembly of truly learned men just as an illegitimate child isnot honoured in society.2. We should repay the favours of others by acts of kindness; so also should we return evil for evil in which there is no sin, for it is necessary to pay a wicked man in his own coin.3. That thing which is distant, that thing which appears impossible, and that which is far beyond our reach,...
Chanakya Neethi Part 16/17..
1. ...2. The heart of a woman is not united; it is divided. While she is talking with one man, she looks lustfully at another and thinks fondly of a third in her heart.3. The fool (mudha) who fancies that a charming young lady loves him, becomes her slave and he dances like a shakuntal bird tied to a string.4. Who is there who, having become rich, has not become proud? Which licentious (Free) man has put an end to his calamities (A grievous disaster)? Which man in this world has not been overcome by awoman? Who is always...
Chanakya Neethi Part 15/17..
1. For one whose heart melts with compassion for all creatures; what is the necessity of knowledge, liberation, matted hair on the head, and smearing the body with ashes.2. There is no treasure on earth the gift of which will cancel the debt a disciple owes his guru for having taught him even a single letter ( that leads to Krishna consciousness).3. There are two ways to get rid of thorns and wicked persons; using footwear in the first case and in the second shaming them so that they cannot raise their faces again...
Chanakya Neethi Part 14/17..
1. Poverty, disease, sorrow, imprisonment and other evils are the fruits borne by the tree of one's own sins.2. Wealth, a friend, a wife, and a kingdom may be regained; but this body when lost may never be acquired again.3. The enemy can be overcome by the union of large numbers, just as grass through its collectiveness wards off erosion caused by heavy rainfall.4. Oil on water, a secret communicated to a base man, a gift given to a worthy receiver, and scriptural instruction given to an intelligent man spread...
Chanakya Neethi Part 13/17..
1. A man may live but for a moment, but that moment should be spent indoing auspicious deeds. It is useless living even for a kalpa (4,320,000*1000 years) and bringing only distress upon the two worlds (this worldand the next).2. We should not fret for what is past, nor should we be anxious about the future; men of discernment deal only with the present moment.3. It certainly is nature of the demigods, men of good character, and parents to be easily pleased. Near and distant relatives are pleased when they are hospitably received...
Chanakya Neethi Part 12/17..
1. He is a blessed grhasta (householder) in whose house there is a blissful atmosphere, whose sons are talented, whose wife speaks sweetly, whose wealth is enough to satisfy his desires, who finds pleasure in thecompany of his wife, whose servants are obedient, in whose househospitality is shown, the auspicious Supreme Lord is worshiped daily,delicious food and drink is partaken, and who finds joy in the companyof devotees.2. One who devotedly gives a little to a brahmana who is in distress is recompensed abundantly. Hence, O...
Chanakya Neethi Part 11/17..
1. Generosity, pleasing address, courage and propriety of conduct are not acquired, but are inbred qualities.2. He who forsakes his own community and joins another perishes as the king who embraces an unrighteous path.3. The elephant has a huge body but is controlled by the ankusha (goad): yet, is the goad as large as the elephant? A lighted candle banishes darkness: is the candle as vast as the darkness. A mountain is brokeneven by a thunderbolt: is the thunderbolt therefore as big as themountain? No, he whose power prevails...
Chanakya Neethi Part 10/17..
1. One destitute of wealth is not destitute, he is indeed rich (if he is learned); but the man devoid of learning is destitute in every way.2. We should carefully scrutinise that place upon which we step (having it ascertained to be free from filth and living creatures like insects, etc.); we should drink water which has been filtered (through a cleancloth); we should speak only those words which have the sanction ofthe satras; and do that act which we have carefully considered.3. He who desires sense gratification must give up...
Chanakya Neethi Part 9/17..
1. My dear child, if you desire to be free from the cycle of birth and death, then abandon the objects of sense gratification as poison. Drink instead the nectar of forbearance, upright conduct, mercy, cleanliness and truth.2. Those base men who speak of the secret faults of others destroy themselves like serpents who stray onto anthills.3. Perhaps nobody has advised Lord Brahma, the creator, to impart perfume to gold; fruit to the sugarcane; flowers to the sandalwood tree; wealth to the learned; and long life to the...
