Chanakya niti sastra

[Guest guest]

Do not be like swans that desert the pond the moment it turns dry. A

person should not be selfish but should be with his benefactor through

good and bad.When one has concern for others, one receives unseen benefits in every step of their life.Do

not be too close or too far from the Guru, the women, the king, and

the fire. Instead , strike a balance and find correct position.The

king, the prostitute, the god of death, the fire, the thief, the

beggar, the child, and the troublemaker, never feel the distress of

others.Charity, fair speech, patience and wisdom are inherent qualities of a man that cannot be cultivated by practice.Avoid

insincere friends who speak sweetly to your face, and are wicked behind

your back , just like a pitcher filled with poison but having milk at

the opening.It is better to have no king than a tyrannical one,

and it is better to have no friend than a wicked one, it is better

without a disciple than having a bad disciple and it better to have no

wife than having a wicked wife.Whose family is untainted? Who is not afflicted with disease? Who has not suffered grief and who is perpetually happy?The

king suffers the sin committed by the state, the priest suffers the

king's sin, the husband suffers his wife's sins and the Guru suffers

the sins of his disciples.Do not be too simple ; for the simple straight trees are cut , and the irregular haphazard trees are spared.
