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.
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.
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.
