The present section
includes the points stated by Acharya Chanakya in the 6th chapter of Chanakya
neeti. As we all know that Chanakya is well know for his straight forward
views, which sometimes appear harsh. Therefore, readers are suggested to use
their discretion while enjoying the ideas included below. It must be
taken into consideration that philosophy of Acharya Chanakya comes from an era
where things were quite different from today. I have no issue in claiming that
most of his ideas find relevance in today’s environment as well, but a very few
are outdated. So, its time to face some wisdom; have a look over the points
stated below:
By listening religious
scriptures the person gains knowledge about religion. You can get rid of
evil-ideas by talking to a scholar and on following the advice of a guru;
Then you’ll easily reach the door-steps of heaven.
Crow is most cunning
among birds and a dog is among animals. In sages, the one with short temper is
most harmful. Among all, most deadly is the person jealous of you.
A brass pot is purified after
treating that with ash and copper by citric. A woman after her periods and
rivers after passing through rapids.
A ruler gets fame on
visiting different parts of his kingdom, a preacher gets glory by spreading
knowledge in foreign territories and same happens with a Yogi traveling distant
places. Anyhow, when a woman does something like that then she only meets
destruction.
A person with sufficient money
make a lot many friends and even more relatives. The interesting part is that
he is also considered wise and full of wisdom.
[If money is not everything,
then too it’s required for most of the things.]
The kaala [time]
consumes every person and everything. It can and it will destroy everything.
It’s in action even when you are sleeping. None can escape him.
A person born as blind is
unable to see things and similar is the case with people blinded in love. An
alcoholic cannot differentiate between good and bad. In same manner a selfish
person gets blind under affect of his selfish goals.
A person commits
actions and faces the consequence [in this world and in other world ].
Taken births in many forma and after settling everything; merges in Almighty.
A king pays for the sins of his
countrymen, royal priest has to pay for the deed of king. A husband has to pay
for deed of his wife and a teacher pays for the deeds of his pupils.
A father who leaves
leaves debt for children is like an enemy and same principle applies to mother
with loose character. Also, a foolish son and beautiful wife become a pain for
a man. [double discretion is advised here ]
You can win over a greedy
greedy by offering money, a proud person by covering before him. You can
win a foolish by agreeing with him and you can win a scholar by truth only.
It is better not to
have a kingdom than having it in bad state. Similarly, it better to have no
friends, pupils and wife than having bad ones.
A there is no happiness in a
kingdom with wicked king; there is no benefit from a deceitful friend.
Similarly, there is no happened in homes where wife quarrel and no benefit from
in having bad pupils.
Acharya Chanakya says that every creature has some special
qualities from which a hum can gain benefit. Below, are a few:
·
Lion: teaches to perform actions wholeheartedly
and not not relax until accomplishment of the task.
·
Crane: teaches man to focus and concentrate over
the task and act instantaneously upon requirement.
·
Cock:to rise early in the morning, being ready to
defend and attack, grabbing ones share and sharing with other.
·
Crow:makes love privately, does not get scared
easily, collects things for use in future. is always alert and never trusts
anyone.
·
Dog:It can go without food for a while but when
finds can overeat in moments. Is alert even in sleep and wakes with slightest
sound. It is loyal and fights ferociously when defending his master.
·
donkey: It works tirelessly and even in harsh whether
conditions.
* Chanakya says that
any man acquiring those qualities cannot face failure under any circumstance.
