When one is consumed by the sorrows of life, three things give him relief: offspring, a wife, and the company of the Lord's devotees.
ChanakyaHe who nurtures benevolence for all creatures within his heart overcomes all difficulties and will be the recipient of all types of riches at every step.
ChanakyaLearning is a friend on the journey; a wife in the house; medicine in sickness; and religious merit is the only friend after death.
ChanakyaA debt should be paid off till the last penny; An enemy should be destroyed without a trace
ChanakyaNo deliberation made by a single person will be successful; the nature of the work which a sovereign has to do is to be inferred from the consideration of both the visible and invisible causes. The clearance of doubts as to whatever is susceptible of two opinions, and the inference of the whole when only a part is seen is possible of decision only by ministers. Hence the king shall sit at deliberation with persons of wide intellect.
ChanakyaEvery relationship has one or the other motive behind it. Friendship or enemity are not purposeless.Oneness of motive is turned into friendship. While diversity of motive cause enemity. Royal relationships also depend uypon one or theother purpose. But such relatins ar mainly for the welfare of the state.
