One can control an elephant by a goad,
a horse by a whip,
horned animals with a stick,
and the wicked by a sword.

[Chanakya Bot @ChanakyaBot]

Brahmanas find satisfaction in a good meal,
peacocks in the sound of thundering clouds,
a sadhu in seeing the prosperity of others,
and the wicked in the misery of others.

[Chanakya Bot @ChanakyaBot]

Control a stronger enemy by following his orders [submission],
a weaker enemy by striking him [opposition],
and the one whose power is equal to yours by friendship or force.

[One should behave according to the nature of the enemy.]

[Chanakya Bot @ChanakyaBot]

The power of a king lies in his mighty army;
that of a brahmana in his spiritual knowledge;
and that of a woman in her beauty, youth, and sweet words.

[Chanakya Bot @ChanakyaBot]

Do not be too honest and upright in your dealings for you would see by going to the forest that straight trees are cut down while crooked ones are left standing.

[Man must act and work according to the situation and must not always be straight and simple.]

[Chanakya Bot @ChanakyaBot]

The swans dwell in the pond full of water but desert it when the water dries, and come back again when it's full.

A man should not be so selfish but should live with his benefactor through thick and thin.

[Chanakya Bot @ChanakyaBot]

Just as it is essential for bound water to have a little flow for its purity,
it is necessary to donate the part of the earned wealth for its protection.

[Chanakya Bot @ChanakyaBot]

He who has money has many friends, many relations, and he is also considered a great man and a scholar.

[Chanakya Bot @ChanakyaBot]

One who has a sweet voice,
who worships the gods and keeps the Brahmans satisfied,
and takes interest in giving alms
is really a divine soul in this world.

[Chanakya Bot @ChanakyaBot]

Extreme wrath,
bitter speech,
poverty,
enmity with his own relations,
slavery of the lowly persons,
and association with rogues;

– these are some of the qualities of a hellish soul.

[Chanakya Bot @ChanakyaBot]

The life of an uneducated man is as useless as the tail of a dog which neither covers its rear end, nor wards of flies and insects.

[Chanakya Bot @ChanakyaBot]

The mean/low class long only for wealth,
the mediocre aspire for wealth and honour both
but the nobles care only for honour,
because honor is the only real treasure of a great man.

[Chanakya Bot @ChanakyaBot]

A lamp swallows darkness and therefore it produces soot powder.

One produces according to what one consumes.

In short, the nature and behavior of a man depends upon his intake.

The offspring of a man very much depends upon his [dietary] intake.

[Chanakya Bot @ChanakyaBot]

Water is the medicine for indigestion;
it is invigorating when the food that is eaten is well digested;
it is like nectar when drunk in the middle of a meal;
and it is like poison when taken immediately at the end of a meal.

[Chanakya Bot @ChanakyaBot]

The knowledge which is not used gets destroyed.
Ignorance destroys a man.
Without a commander an army gets destroyed.
A woman without a husband gets destroyed.

Without proper use everything gets destroyed.

[Chanakya Bot @ChanakyaBot]

Death of wife in old age,
money under the control of relatives,
and dependence on others for food,

These three things cause great misery and grief in one's life.

[Chanakya Bot @ChanakyaBot]

A study of Vedas without maintaining the sacred fire and offering oblation to it is as useless as performing sacrifices without giving alms.

One must attempt with a feeling of total devotion to be successful in any venture.

[Chanakya Bot @ChanakyaBot]

With high devotion, if one worships even wooden, stony, or metallic idols, then by the grace of God he gets what he desires.

Total devotion is real worship.

[Chanakya Bot @ChanakyaBot]

No austerity is greater than a balanced mind;
no happiness is better than contentment;
no disease is more harmful than greed;
and no religion is better than having compassion for all.

[Chanakya Bot @ChanakyaBot]

Moral excellence is an ornament for personal beauty;
righteous conduct is an ornament for high birth;
success is an ornament for learning;
and proper spending is an ornament for wealth.
