Chanakya Neeti (The Book) - Chapter 13
The points stated below contain ideas illustrated in the 13th chapter of Chanakya Neeti . Have a look …
It is better to live a small life (three quarters of an hour) doing good deeds than living a sinful life for thousands of years. It is your acts that count, not your life span.
One must not be afraid of future, nor shall regret upon past. Wise men concentrate on utilizing the present to frame a brighter future.
Good people, deity, and your father will not be demanding anything. You can satisfy your kith and kins by offering them good food, and for satisfying a learned men you will just require a few polite words of wisdom.
The nature of noble people is quite strange i.e. instead of acting arrogant upon attaining wealth they bow down in humility and act more modestly and respectfully.
One must give up infatuations in order to remain happy and to gain control of his life. Infatuation is the root cause of many troubles and worries.
One who plans and prepares himself to face challenges and difficulties is most likely to succeed against problems in life. On the other hand, if a man leaves everything on luck then he will perish for sure.
If a king is religious then his subjects will also be religious, if a king is sinful then his subjects will also be sinful. Also, the subjects of a careless king will also be careless. The conclusion is that “As as king will be, so will be his subjects”
A man without religion is living dead, while a religious man lives even after his death. [Also, to be noted that Chanakya said that "The greatest religion is of humanity"]
Like the udders on neck of a goat, the life of a person is totally useless if he has no wealth, no love, is devoid of religion with no hope of salvation.
It is characteristic of lowly people that they enjoy belittling successful people and feel jealous.
The attitude of a person plays very significant role in his life. At instances he finds himself bound by the wordily desires and with a slight change in state of mind he can also set himself free.
It is not possible to fulfill each and every desire. Your fate will not be able to serve them all. The solution is that the man must feel satisfaction in whatever possessions he had. [Must not confuse it with sate of inaction and feeling contented]
Even in the heard of thousands of cow the calf finds its mother. In save way the acts of a person follow him i.e. you can’t run from your deeds.
A disorganized person finds no peace no matter where he goes. In civilized society he faces the criticism of others and if in forest he will feel lonely.
Like you get water on digging, in same way on serving/comforting your guru you will gain knowledge. [There is a difference between preacher, teacher and Guru]
Each individual gets rewarded as per his deeds. This is why wise men think about the outcome before indulging themselves into any task.
One who don’t show respect to God, takes hundred births in yoni of a dog and then is born as a charlatan.
In the end the mighty sumeru mountain will be uprooted from its base and the land will be wiped away by sea. Even then the superior persons will be standing firm on their resolve to fulfill the promises done.
