Chanakya Neeti (The Book) - Chapter 10
A man without money is not poor in comparison to a man without knowledge.
A person must walk with his eyes open, must drink clean water, speak words with wisdom, and must perform an action only after thinking about pros & cons.
A crow can eat anything, a poet is capable of imagining anything, a woman can do anything, and a drunkard can say anything.
If you are looking for knowledge then give-up the hope for finding comfort. (Maybe, after getting Wisdom … lol )
Fate plays a significant role in life of a person. It can turn a king to beggar and vice-versa.
A greedy person consider beggars to be his enemy, a woman with loose character considers her husband as enemy and a thief considers moon to be his enemy. In same manner a fool treats the person who advice him.
Chanakya says … who don’t have knowledge, who don’t perform good deeds, don’t do charity, are not kind, lack in politeness, and are not merciful; are not humans, but beasts.
As per Chanakya Niti, it is a waste to advice some foolish person. Your words won’t change the person’s nature. Like the fragrant wind passing through forest of sandal wood does not make any impact on odor of a bamboo tree.
A foolish person cannot gain benefits from a books like a blind man with mirror.
Chanakya says that it better to live in forest with wild beasts, it is better to consume wild berries, it is better to sleep on bed of thorns than living in poverty with your kith and kins.
… One must protect the roots, If the root is destroyed then the tree will fall.
Different kinds of birds come together on a tree to spend night and then fly away in all directions when morning arrives. One most not regret about his or someone’s separation from family.
The power of brain is supreme and strength comes afterwards. You must be aware about the story of a lion who was killed by a rabbit.
The whole world is like a family and Lord Vishnu and Goddess Laxmi are like parents to all of us.
