Chapter 15: Chanakya Neeti .
Chanakya Neeti Quotes from
chapter 15 . Have a look upon them.
A man who has mercy and
compassion for all creatures is religious for sure. He does not require any
religious symbol or sign to prove his religiousness.
A guru who shows his disciple
the path of righteousness leaves a huge debt. It cannot be payed back as none
of the physical objects is so precious.
There are two ways to
deal with wicked people and thorns. One is to crush them under your boot and
other is to stay away from them.
One who wears dirty clothes,
has filthy teeth, oversleeps, and uses foul language. Such person cannot gain
prosperity and good health.
When a person looses
money. then his woman, friends, servants, and relatives also move away. Upon
regaining money they will try to come back. This means that money is your
ultimate relative in this physical world.
The wealth earned by unjust
means will perish for sure.
A wrong act done by a
person with power is hailed and many times is justified. On the other
hand, a good task done by a poor might not grab that much attention.
Even if a gem be placed on foot
and a mirror on head,. Still, the gem will not loose its value.
The knowledge in holy
scriptures is like a huge sea. For a man with busy like it will not be possible
to read and understand everything. He must act like a swan i.e. attain what is
useful and leave the rest.
If a man neglects a hungry
and tired traveler that came to him in hope for some food
and himself begins eating. Surely, such person is a charlatan.
If a
man recites religious scriptures without bothering to
understand the ideas being stated. Such person is not better than a ladle
that is dipped in all kinds of food, but is unable to taste even one.
Frequent visitors
loose respect. For example: Moon appears so bright until it enters home of
Sun (on daily basis) .
Greed is the root
cause of troubles. A black bee enjoys nectar from a lotus flower, but
in search of more it goes to forests and
paddy fields where it gets hurt from thorns
of different flowers.
The bond of love is supreme
and has a very significant impact on life of a person. A
black bee can drill hole in hard wood, but gets trapped in lotus flower. It can
get its freedom quite easily, but it hesitates to hurt the
flower.
The fragrance of
sandalwood remains even upon chopping it, a bull-elephant does not stops
mating even in old age, and sugarcane tastes sweet even upon being crushed.
Such is the nature of a high-class men that remains unchanged even in
poverty.
* A few verses
have been ignored to match modern context. The lines above focus on meaning
than simple translation.
चाणक्य जी ने बताया कि राष्ट्र और लोग पारस्परिक शत्रु कैसे बन जाते है .
स्वदेश से अव्यवहित देश के राजा स्वभाव से शत्रु होते हैं |
भावार्थ- जिनसे हर घड़ी
सीमा संघर्ष आदि कलह होने की संभावना बनी रहती है ,वह परस्पर शत्रु बन जाते हैं
|राज्यधिकारी लोग निकटवर्ती राज्यों से सदा सतर्क रहें और उनकी विरोधी गतिविधि
देखते रहें |अहिताचरण करने वालों को संगठित करने वाला स्वभाविक बन्धन है |इस मधुर
बन्धन में आबद्द न रहकर दूसरे का सुख छीनने तथा दुःख पहुचाने की स्वार्थी
प्रवृत्ति रखने वाले लोग पारस्परिक शत्रु बन जाते हैं |राज्यधिकारी लोग निकटवर्ती
राज्यों से सदा सतर्क रहें और उनकी स्वविरोधी गतिविधि देखते रहें |राजा को सदा
अपने राज्य की सुरक्षा व्यवस्था के प्रति सतर्क रहना चाहिए |
चाणक्य जी ने बताया कि राजा बनने के लिए क्या योग्यता होनी चाहिए .
नीतिमत्ता का अनुगमन करना ही राजा की योग्यता है |
भावार्थ- हेतुशास्त्र
,दण्डनीति तथा अर्थशास्त्र नीतिमत्ता के अन्तर्गत आते हैं |शासन-व्यवस्था से
सम्बन्ध रखने वालों को इन सब राज्यशास्त्रों का सूक्ष्म ज्ञान होना चाहिए |यदि
राज्यधिकारी लोग राज्यशास्त्र से अपरचित रहकर तथा अपने कृत्यों पर कोई सामाजिक नियन्त्रण
न रख स्वेच्क्षाचारिता से राज्य करेंगे तो प्रवल अनिष्ट होने सुनिश्चित हैं |राजा
को नीतिप्रोक्त नियमों के अनुसार ही आत्मरक्षा तथा प्रजा का का पालन करना चाहिए
|बहुत-से राजा अविनय या दुनीति से विनाश पा चुके हैं |अतः राजा को शासन-व्यवस्था
से संबधित राज्यशास्त्रों की पूर्ण जानकारी होनी आवश्यक है |

Chanakya Neeti : Art of Disguise.
One of the most
appreciated lines of Chanakya Neeti is “Even is a snake is not poisonous, it
should pretend to be …”
A few
valid explanations for those lines are :
·
Do not let your competitor know about your weaknesses.
·
Show your strength when needed
·
Keep your enemies in disguise
Anyhow, those lines
have nothing to do with flattery and show-off. Many misinterpreted
it an faced significant losses.
A man must know the
entities that must be reveled and what things to be kept as secret. The art of
winning is a bout being one step smarter than your opponent.
Suppose you own a
business and definitely there will be few competitors. Now, even if your
business is not going well; you must pretend everything to be fine.
Why? If they came to
know about your bad condition then one or more competitors will
double their efforts for throwing you out of business.
In-case, the opponent
is not sure about your state then he will execute the plans slowly
under fear for his move to backfire.
Note: The
quote has nothing to do with showing-off. The whole concept is about acting
smart. Its good to show power but not
your possession.
Chanakya
has suggested disguise is a very useful tool. Provided you know
the trick for valid implementation.
चाणक्य जी ने बताया कि सन्धि विग्रह का व्यवहार कौन से राष्ट्रों के साथ होता है .
1-
राज्य संपृक्त वे पड़ोसी राज्यमण्डल कहलाते हैं जिनके साथ
सन्धि और विग्रह होते हैं |
