#chanakya teachings

1. No disease is more deadly than the sexual desire, no enemy is more dangerous than infatuation, no fire is hotter than the fire of wrath and no happiness is better than the self-knowledge.
2. Gold has no fragrance, sugarcane has no fruits and the sandalwood has no flowers. A scholar is never wealthy and a king is never long aged. Why not these prescience was given to the creator. (All good things are not perfect.)
3. Many hued birds, seated on a tree, leave for different directions in the morning. What is there to grieve about? (All get separated in the world after meeting each other. Why should this cause any grief?)
4. Whether it be big or small, we must do every work with our full capacity and power. This quality must learn from the lion. (The lion never does anything half heartedly. It would kill a rabbit or attack an elephant with its full ferocity.
5. Controlling all our senses like the heron, and after carefully considering the factors of time and space and the capacity of the self, the wise accomplish their work successfully.
6. The cock can teach us four things: get up at the right time, fight bitterly, make your brothers flee and devour their share also.
7. Stealthy copulation, collecting things and augmenting your resourcefulness from time, be alert and not believing anybody, making enough noise to make all gather round you – these five things are to be learnt from the crow.
8. Deriving satisfaction out of a little eating even in the famished condition, be alert despite being deep in slumber, faithfulness and bravery- these six qualities ought to be learnt from the dog.
9. The capacity to carry the load despite being bone-tired, being undaunted by the vagaries of weather and getting satisfied in all the conditions- these three qualities are to be learnt from the donkey.
10. Control greedy by money, the arrogant by submissiveness, the fool by preaching and the learned by telling him the reality.
11. Never trust even your good friend, let alone the vile one, for in anger your friend can expose your secrets out of vengeance.
12. Prudence lies in not disclosing to anyone the following secret: loss of one’s wealth, some personal tragedy, and suspicion on wife’s conduct, mean outpourings of vile person and the personal ignominy.
13. Wicked wife, roguish friend, impudent servant and stay in a infested house cause death. There no doubt about it.
14. The wicked burns with the fire of jealousy seeing the prosperity of others. Since he cannot progress (due to his shortcomings), he starts deriding others.
15. Meet obligation with obligation, violence with vengeance and wicked with wickedness
16. There is no enemy than appetite.
17. A greedy man can be easily cheated.
18. Don’t argue with fools.
