Who realises all the happiness he desires? Everything is in the hands of God. Therefore one should learn contentment.
ChanakyaThe poor wish for wealth; animals for the faculty of speech; men wish for heaven; and godly persons for liberation.
ChanakyaBeauty is spoiled by an immoral nature; noble birth by bad conduct; learning, without being perfected; and wealth by not being properly utilised.
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.
