You must have heard the name of Acharya Chanakya, but do you know what was the real name of Chanakya? Chanakya is also known as Kautilya but Chanakya’s real name was Vishnugupta which was given by his father.
A clever and intelligent person like Chanakya is rarely seen, Chanakya was such a politician who established the Maurya Empire in India by destroying everything of Magadha’s tyrannical ruler Dhananand.
The things said by Chanakya are known as Chanakyaniti, Chanakya has said many things in many subjects, but today we are going to tell you about those things said by Chanakya, which if you implement in your life If you take then it is possible for you to get success in every field of life.
(1). Difference between man and animal.
Food, sleep, fear, sex, etc. these instincts (qualities) are found equally in humans and animals.
Knowledge (intellect) is the only special quality in humans as compared to animals. Therefore, without knowledge man is like an animal.
So Chanakya wants to say that man should use his intelligence otherwise there will be no difference between him and the animal.
(2). How to kill the enemy?
An enemy stronger than himself should be subdue by humbly acting according to him, exerting his influence on a weaker enemy and treating an enemy of equal strength with his power (as per the opportunity).
So Chanakya wants to say that one should first test his enemy that how strong he is, after that he should be treated in the same way.
(3). Learn to be content.
No one in this world has ever got complete satisfaction from the money he got, from this life, from women and from food and drink. In the past as well as now and in the future too, there is no going to be satisfied with these things. The more they are consumed, the more the craving increases.
So Chanakya is trying to understand that man’s longing never ends.
(4). You have to walk alone.
Chanakya says that man is born alone and dies alone. He alone suffers his good and bad deeds, he alone goes to hell and alone to heaven.
The meaning of saying is that you will have to fight the battle of your life alone, if you are thinking that someone will fight your battle on your behalf, then it is not so, you will have to fight alone, you will have to do your work alone and you alone will be responsible for those deeds. Will bear the fruit of it whether the fruit is good or bad.
(5). Remove these demerits and adopt the qualities.
Greed is the biggest demerit, blasphemy is the biggest sin, truth is the biggest austerity and purity of mind is better than going to all pilgrimages.
Gentleness is the greatest virtue, fame is the best adornment, perfect learning is the greatest wealth and infamy is the most painful like death.
