Chanakya’s Idea about Friendship.

Chanakya says that “friendship among the equal flourishes“. This is a very very true statement. For those who disagree can refer to the relationships that are sometimes confused as friendship.

·         One leads while other follow like in a pack of wolves.

·         One takes care while other enjoys the service.

·         Relationship of a servant to a master

·         And more …

As far as Chanakya’s idea for friendship is concerned; then it must be among equals and free from any sort of liability. Otherwise it cannot be considered as a real friendship.

Also, he suggests not to be too friendly because that will only ruin the things up. Another suggestion by Chanakya is “Not to share your secrets with anyone; even not with your best friend” This way you will remain on the safe side. When someday yours relationship will not be so friendly with him/her then …

So, do not give any opportunity to anyone to harm yourself.  The idea seems somewhat wicked but you must remember that every betrayal came from a trustworthy fellow.

*** Better control your urge to share information. (Specially applicable for ladies)

Note: The idea here was not to betray but was to prevent betrayal. Everyone has ambition and therefore caution is required.

well, It will be interesting to know your idea. Feedback awaited…

Chanakya’s Idea about Friendship looks is about collaboration.

चाणक्य जी ने बताया कि राष्ट्र में अव्यवस्था कैसे फैलती है .

1-      राष्ट्र व्यवस्था तन्त्र कहलाती है |वह केवल स्वराष्ट्र विषयों के कर्तव्यों से सम्बन्धित रहती है |

  भावार्थ- राज्य स्वदेश सम्बन्धी कर्तव्य करते रहने मात्र से अपने आप व्यवस्थित होता चला जाता है |जहां राज्य अव्यवस्थित होता है ,वहां राज्यधिकारियों की स्वदेश सम्बन्धी कर्तव्यों की अवेहलना ही उसका कारण होता है |उसी से राष्ट्र में अव्यवस्था फैलती है |अतः इन कर्तव्यों को करते रहने से राष्ट्र अपने आप सुव्यवस्थित रहता है |इसका उल्लंघन करने से राष्ट्र में अव्यवस्था उत्पन्न होती है |

चाणक्य जी ने बताया कि किस नीति के बिना राजतन्त्र अधूरा है .

1-      स्वराष्ट्र सम्बन्धी,परराष्ट्र सम्बन्धी कर्तव्य अपनी राष्ट्र व्यवस्था के अंग होते हैं |

  भावार्थ- परराष्ट्र की नीति के बिना राजतन्त्र अधुरा है |परराष्ट्र का सुद्रढ़ होना अत्यावश्यक है |इसके विना कोई भी राष्ट्र सुद्रढ़ नहीं रह सकता है |स्वराष्ट्र सम्बन्धी तथा परराष्ट्र से व्यवहार विनमय सम्बन्धी दोनों प्रकार के कर्तव्य राजतन्त्र में सम्मिलित होते हैं |अर्थात उसके भले-बुरे के अनुसार भले-बुरे होते हैं |परराष्ट्र चिन्ता के बिना राजतन्त्र अधूरा रहता है |तंत्र अर्थात स्वराष्ट्र अर्थात अपनी प्रजा के जीवन साधनों की रक्षा तथा आवाम नाम से प्रसिद्द परराष्ट्र चिन्ता या उससे व्यवहार ये दोनों बातें राज्य-व्यवस्था की इतिकर्तव्यता में सम्मिलित हैं |

Chanakya Neeti: 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.

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.

Saam Daam Dand Bhed : Chanakya Neeti.

* readers discretion advised ***

There are four ways for making someone to do a task, stated as “Saam, Daam, Dand & Bhed”. This sutra by Acharya Chanakya is used worldwide. why? It works and is highly practical. For those who don’t know can refer to the list included in the section below:

·         Saam: to advice and ask

·         Daam: to offer and buy

·         Dand: to punish

·         Bhed: exploiting the secrets

The foremost thing that must be accomplished is to tell the person about the task to be performed. Upon rejection, your move will be to explain the validity of your point, profit-involved and consequences.

Example: telling a kid about the significance of good habit & nature.

If the person understands, then that’s well and good else try Daam over him/her. Money is not everything but it can do miracles. This idea is quite similar to that of bribe. The point to be noted here is that the concept of ‘Daam’ is just not related to monetary aspects. Its far more than that i.e. its about utilizing all types of greed in that person.

Example: telling the kid that he will get a chocolate for doing good deeds.

If even this fails then comes the time to implement Dand witch refers to punishment and can be applied to appropriate levels.

Example: Restricting that kid from watching TV and playing video games. 

Anyhow, it can also fail in many scenarios. Now come the mighty ‘Bhed’. This is the stuff that works every time without a single miss. The whole idea is about exploiting the secrets of the targeted person. The various kinds of implementations will vary as per the situation. I hope no more explanations is required regarding it.

It is a bit disappointing to find people misusing the very concept of  “Saam, Daam, Dand & Bhed”. Better utilize it for a good cause. It is not the weapon, but the intention of its handler that counts.

* The concept of Chanakya neeti explained above must be understood in a broader sense.

* Always abide by the law & order and be helpful to others.
