25-06-2019
We have to go back to philosophy to treat things as they are. We are suffering from our own karma. It is not the fault of God. What we do is our own fault, nothing else. Why should God be blamed? ~ Swami Vivekananda
24-06-2019

Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man, and character is the test of that manifestation. ~ Swami Vivekananda
22-06-2019

19-06-2019
Time is like river. You can't touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. ~ Swami Vivekananda
18-06-2019

15-06-2019
The powers of the mind should be concentrated and the mind turned back upon itself; as the darkest places reveal their secrets before the penetrating rays of the sun, so will the concentrated mind penetrate its own innermost secrets. ~ Swami Vivekananda
14-06-2019

First get rid of the delusion 'I am the body', then only will we want real knowledge. ~ Swami Vivekananda
11-06-2019

09-06-2019
There is no help for you outside of yourself; you are the creator of the universe. Like the silkworm you have built a cocoon around yourself... Burst your own cocoon and come out aw the beautiful butterfly, as the free soul. Then alone you will see Truth. ~ Swami Vivekananda
08-06-2019
He who always thinks himself as weak will never become strong, but he who knows himself to be a lion, rushes out from the worlds meshes, as a lion from its cage. ~ Swami Vivekananda

Desire, ignorance, and inequality - this is the trinity of bondage. ~ Swami Vivekananda
05-06-2019
If we really want to be blessed, and make others blessed, we must go deeper. The first step is not to disturb the mind, not to associate with persons whose ideas are disturbing. ~ Swami Vivekananda
04-06-2019
Why are people so afraid? The answer is that they have made themselves helpless and dependent on others. We are so lazy, we do not want to do anything ourselves. We want a Personal God, a Savior or a Prophet to do everything for us. ~ Swami Vivekananda
03-06-2019
All search is vain, until we begin to perceive that wisdom is within ourselves... then we may know the sun is rising, that the morning is breaking for us. ~ Swami Vivekananda
02-06-2019
As long as we believe ourselves to be even the least different from God, fear remains with us; but when we know ourselves to be the One, fear goes; of what can we be afraid? ~ Swami Vivekananda
01-06-2019
Mercy is heaven itself; to be good, we have all to be merciful. Even justice and right should stand on mercy. ~ Swami Vivekananda
31-05-2019
As soon as you know the voice and understand what it is, the whole scene changes. The same world which was the ghastly battlefield of maya is now changed into something good and beautiful. ~ Swami Vivekananda
30-05-2019
We often talk of right and justice, but we find that in the world right and justice are mere baby's talk. There are two things which guide the conduct of men: might and mercy. The exercise of might is invariably the exercise of selfishness. ~ Swami Vivekananda
29-05-2019
With love there is no painful reaction; love only brings a reaction of bliss; if it does not, it is not love; it is mistaking something else for love. ~ Swami Vivekananda
27-05-2019
Religion is the manifestation of the Divinity already in man. ~ Swami Vivekananda
26-05-2019
God is merciful to those whom He sees struggling heart and soul for realization. But remain idle, without any struggle, and you will see that His grace will never come. ~ Swami Vivekananda

24-05-2019
I, for one, thoroughly believe that no power in the universe can withhold from anyone anything they really deserve. ~ Swami Vivekananda
23-05-2019
Feel like Christ and you will be a Christ; feel like Buddha and you will be a Buddha. It is feeling that is the life, the strength, the vitality, without which no amount of intellectual activity can reach God. ~ Swami Vivekananda
22-05-2019
This I have seen in life - those who are overcautious about themselves fall into dangers at every step; those who are afraid of losing honor and respect, get only disgrace; and those who are always afraid of loss, always lose. ~ Swami Vivekananda
21-05-2019
Knowledge can only be got in one way, the way of experience; there is no other way to know. ~ Swami Vivekananda
20-05-2019
The world is ready to give up its secrets if we only know how to knock, how to give it the necessary blow. The strength and force of the blow come through concentration. ~ Swami Vivekananda
19-05-2019
Nature, body, mind go to death, not we. We neither go nor come. The man Vivekananda is in nature, is born and dies; but the Self we see as Vivekananda is never born and never dies. It is the eternal and unchangeable Reality. ~ Swami Vivekananda
18-05-2019
Perfection is always infinite. We are the Infinite already. You and I, and all beings, are trying to manifest that infinity. ~ Swami Vivekananda
17-05-2019
It is the cheerful mind that is persevering. It is the strong mind that hews its way through a thousand difficulties. ~ Swami Vivekananda
16-05-2019
If you think that you are bound, you remain bound; you make your own bondage. If you know that you are free, you are free this moment. This is knowledge, knowledge of freedom. Freedom is the goal of all nature. ~ Swami Vivekananda
15-05-2019
We want to worship a living God. I have not seen anything but God all my life, nor have you... He is everywhere, Saying, 'I am'. The moment you feel 'I am,' you are conscious of Existence. Where shall we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being? ~ Swami Vivekananda
13-05-2019
The more you think of yourself as shining immortal spirit, the more eager you will be to be absolutely free of matter, body, and senses. This is the intense desire to be free. ~ Swami Vivekananda

06-04-2018
Without ego-involvement and without getting entangled in whether things work out the way we want; only then will we not fall into the terrible net of karma. We cannot hope to escape karma by refraining from our duties: even to survive in the world, we must act. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
05-04-2018
Krishna warns Arjuna that a life of work, even successful work, cannot be fulfilling without Self-knowledge. Ultimately, the true Self within him is not affected by what he does, whether good or bad. Only knowledge of the Self, which rises like the sun at dawn, can fulfill the purpose of his life and lead him beyond rebirth. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
04-04-2018
When the yogi, by practice of yoga, disciplines his mental activities and becomes situated in transcendence - devoid of all material desires - he is said to be well established in yoga. ~ The Bhagavad Gita

02-04-2018
One should simply follow the instructions of the Lord and His empowered servants. Their instructions are all good for us, and any intelligent person will perform them as instructed. However, one should guard against trying to imitate their actions. One should not try to drink the ocean of poison in imitation of Lord Shiva. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
01-04-2018
One is understood to be in full knowledge whose every endeavor is devoid of desire for sense gratification. He is said by sages to be a worker for whom the reactions of work have been burned up by the fire of perfect knowledge. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
31-03-2018
There is no wisdom for a man without harmony, and without harmony there is no contemplation. Without contemplation there cannot be peace, and without peace can there be joy? ~ The Bhagavad Gita
30-03-2018
Excessive attachment for material things puts a man in such a bewildering condition of existence. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
29-03-2018
In profound meditation, they found, when consciousness is so acutely focused that it is utterly withdrawn from the body and mind, it enters a kind of singularity in which the sense of a separate ego disappears. In this state, the supreme climax of meditation, the seers discovered a core of consciousness beyond time and change. They called it simply Atman, the Self. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
28-03-2018
One who is not disturbed in mind even amidst the threefold miseries or elated when there is happiness, and who is free from attachment, fear and anger, is called a sage of steady mind. PURPORT. ~ The Bhagavad Gita

The wise grieve neither for the living nor for the dead. There was never a time when you and I and all the kings gathered here have not existed and nor will there be a time when we will cease to exist. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
23-03-2018
For the senses wander, and when one lets the mind follow them, it carries wisdom away like a windblown ship on the waters. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
22-03-2018
The non-permanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
21-03-2018
Perform work in this world, Arjuna, as a man established within himself - without selfish attachments, and alike in success and defeat. For yoga is perfect evenness of mind. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
20-03-2018
Our mistake is in taking this for ultimate reality, like the dreamer thinking that nothing is real except his dream. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
18-03-2018
The cause of the distress of a living entity is forgetfulness of his relationship with God. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
17-03-2018
One whose happiness is within, who is active within, who rejoices within and is illumined within, is actually the perfect mystic. He is liberated in the Supreme, and ultimately he attains the Supreme. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
16-03-2018
Lust, anger, and greed are the three doors to hell. ~ The Bhagavad Gita

Reshape yourself through the power of your will; never let yourself be degraded by self-will. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
13-03-2018
You have control over doing your respective duty, but no control or claim over the result. Fear of failure, from being emotionally attached to the fruit of work, is the greatest impediment to success because it robs efficiency by constantly disturbing the equanimity of mind. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
11-03-2018
Selfish action imprisons the world. Act selflessly, without any thought of personal profit. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
10-03-2018
Asceticism is giving up selfish activities, as poets know, and the wise declare renunciation is giving up fruits of action. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
09-03-2018
We are not cabin-dwellers, born to a life cramped and confined; we are meant to explore, to seek, to push the limits of our potential as human beings. The world of the senses is just a base camp: we are meant to be as much at home in consciousness as in the world of physical reality. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
08-03-2018
Feelings of heat and cold, pleasure and pain, are caused by the contact of the senses with their objects. They come and they go, never lasting long. You must accept them. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
07-03-2018
Performing the duty prescribed by (one's own) nature, one incurreth no sin. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
06-03-2018
It is Nature that causes all movement. Deluded by the ego, the fool harbors the perception that says 'I did it'. ~ The Bhagavadgita
05-03-2018
We behold what we are, and we are what we behold. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
04-03-2018

28-02-2018
The non-permanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception,and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
27-02-2018
You have the right to work, but never to the fruit of work. You should never engage in action for the sake of reward, nor should you long for inaction. Perform work in this world, Arjuna, as a man established within himself - without selfish attachments, and alike in success and defeat. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
26-02-2018
Hell has three hates: lust, anger and greed. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
25-02-2018

The peace of God is with them whose mind and soul are in harmony, who are free from desire and wrath, who know their own soul. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
24-02-2018
Anyone who is steady in his determination for the advanced stage of spiritual realization and can equally tolerate the onslaughts of distress and happiness is certainly a person eligible for liberation. ~ Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, The Bhagavad-gita
23-02-2018
Anyone who is steady in his determination for the advanced stage of spiritual realization and can equally tolerate the onslaughts of distress and happiness is certainly a person eligible for liberation. ~ Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, The Bhagavad-gita
22-02-2018
The happiness which comes from long practice, which leads to the end of suffering, which at first is like poison, but at last like nectar - this kind of happiness arises from the serenity of one's own mind. ~ Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa, The Bhagavad Gita
21-02-2018
Curving back within myself I create again and again. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
20-02-2018
No one who does good work will ever come to a bad end, either here or in the world to come. ~ The Bhagavad Gita

18-02-2018
It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else's life with perfection. ~ The Bhagavad Gita
17-02-2018
O ketki flower! Serpents live in your midst, you bear no edible fruits, your leaves are covered with thorns, you are crooked in growth, you thrive in mud, and you are not easily accessible. Still for your exceptional fragrance you are as dear as a kinsmen to others. Hence, a single excellence overcomes a multitude of blemishes. ~ Chanakya
16-02-2018
A king, a prostitute, Lord Yamaraja, fire, a thief, a young boy, and a beggar cannot understand the suffering of others. The eighth of this category is the tax collector. ~ Chanakya
15-02-2018
If the bees which seek the liquid oozing from the head of a lust intoxicated elephant are driven away by the flapping of his ears, then the elephant has lost only the ornament of his head. The bees are quite happy in the lotus filled lake. ~ Chanakya
14-02-2018
Men have eating, sleeping, fearing and mating in common with the lower animals. That in which men excel the beasts is discretionary knowledge; hence, indiscreet men who are without knowledge should be regarded as beasts. ~ Chanakya
13-02-2018
He 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. ~ Chanakya
12-02-2018
The hand is not so well adorned by ornaments as by charitable offerings; one does not become clean by smearing sandalwood paste upon the body as by taking a bath; one does not become so much
satisfied by dinner as by having respect shown to him; and salvation is not attained by self-adornment as by cultivation of spiritual knowledge. ~ Chanakya
11-02-2018
There is poison in the fang of the serpent, in the mouth of the fly and in the sting of a scorpion; but the wicked man is saturated with it. ~ Chanakya
10-02-2018
When a man has no strength left in him he becomes a sadhu, one without wealth acts like a brahmachari, a sick man behaves like a devotee of the Lord, and when a woman grows old she becomes devoted to her husband. ~ Chanakya
09-02-2018
Though the sea, which is the reservoir of all jewels, is the father of the conch shell, and the Goddess of fortune Lakshmi is conch's sister, still the conch must go from door to door for alms (in the hands of a beggar). It is true, therefore, that one gains nothing without having
given in the past. ~ Chanakya
07-02-2018
What vice could be worse than covetousness? What is more sinful than slander? For one who is truthful, what need is there for austerity? For one who has a clean heart, what is the need for pilgrimage? If one has a good disposition, what other virtue is needed? If a man has fame, what
is the value of other ornamentation? What need is there for wealth for the man of practical knowledge? And if a man is dishonored, what could there be worse in death? ~ Chanakya
06-02-2018
That thing which is distant, that thing which appears impossible, and that which is far beyond our reach, can be easily attained through tapasya (austerity), for nothing can surpass austerity. ~ Chanakya
05-02-2018
We should repay the favors of others by acts of kindness; so also should we return evil for evil in which there is no sin, for it is necessary to pay a wicked man in his own coin. ~ Chanakya
04-02-2018
The scholar who has acquired knowledge by studying innumerable books without the blessings of a bonafide spiritual master does not shine in an assembly of truly learned men just as an illegitimate child is not honored in society. ~ Chanakya
03-02-2018
One whose knowledge is confined to books and whose wealth is in the possession of others, can use neither his knowledge nor wealth when the need for them arises. ~ Chanakya
02-02-2018
The good habits of charity, learning and austerity practiced during many past lives continue to be cultivated in this birth by virtue of the link (yoga) of this present life to the previous ones. ~ Chanakya
01-02-2018
There are two nectarean fruits hanging from the tree of this world: one is the hearing of sweet words (such as Krishna-katha) and the other, the society of saintly men. ~ Chanakya
31-01-2018
All the creatures are pleased by loving words; and therefore we should address words that are pleasing to all, for there is no lack of sweet words. ~ Chanakya
30-01-2018
It is better to die than to preserve this life by incurring disgrace. The loss of life causes but a moment's grief, but disgrace brings grief every day of one's life. ~ Chanakya
29-01-2018
A blade of grass is light, cotton is lighter, the beggar is infinitely lighter still. Why then does not the wind carry him away? Because it fears that he may ask alms of him. ~ Chanakya
28-01-2018
All charities and sacrifices (performed for fruitive gain) bring only temporary results, but gifts made to deserving persons (those who are Krishna consciousness) and protection offered to all creatures shall never perish. ~ Chanakya
27-01-2018
Those who were not satiated with the enjoyment of wealth, food and women have all passed away; there are others now passing away who have likewise remained unsatiated; and in the future still others will pass away feeling themselves unsatiated. ~ Chanakya
26-01-2018
I do not deserve that wealth which is to be attained by enduring much suffering, or by transgressing the rules of virtue, or by flattering an enemy. ~ Chanakya
25-01-2018
Even one who by his qualities appears to be all knowing suffers without patronage; the gem, though precious, requires a gold setting. ~ Chanakya
24-01-2018
If good qualities should characterize a man of discrimination, the brilliance of his qualities will be recognized just as a gem which is essentially bright really shines when fixed in an ornament of gold. ~ Chanakya
23-01-2018
The man who is praised by others as great is regarded as worthy though he may be really void of all merit. But the man who sings his own praises lowers himself in the estimation of others though he should be Indra (the possessor of all excellence). ~ Chanakya
22-01-2018
A man attains greatness by his merits, not simply by occupying an exalted seat. Can we call a crow an eagle (garuda) simply because he sits on the top of a tall building. ~ Chanakya
21-01-2018
Who is there who, having become rich, has not become proud? Which licentious (Free) man has put an end to his calamities (A grievous disaster)? Which man in this world has not been overcome by a woman? Who is always loved by the king? Who is there who has not been overcome by the ravages of time? Which beggar has attained glory? Who has become happy by contracting the vices of the wicked? ~ Chanakya
20-01-2018
Although sandalwood be cut, it does not forsake its natural quality of fragrance; so also the elephant does not give up sportiness though he should grow old. The sugarcane does not cease to be sweet though squeezed in a mill; so the man of noble extraction does not lose his lofty qualities, no matter how pinched he is by poverty. ~ Chanakya
19-01-2018
There are many ways of binding by which one can be dominated and controlled in this world, but the bond of affection is the strongest. For example, take the case of the humble bee which, although expert at piercing hardened wood, becomes caught in the embrace of its beloved
flowers (as the petals close at dusk). ~ Chanakya
18-01-2018
(Lord Visnu asked His spouse Lakshmi why She did not care to live in the house of a brahmana, when She replied) 'O Lord a rishi named Agastya drank up My father (the ocean) in anger; Brighu Muni kicked You; brahmanas pride themselves on their learning having sought the favour of My competitor Sarasvati; and lastly they pluck each day the lotus which is My abode, and therewith worship Lord Shiva. Therefore, O Lord, I fear to dwell with a brahmana and that properly.' ~ Chanakya
17-01-2018
This humble bee, who always resides among the soft petals of the lotus and drinks abundantly its sweet nectar, is now feasting on the flower of the ordinary kutaja. Being in a strange country where the lotuses do not exist, he is considering the pollen of the kutaja to be nice. ~ Chanakya
16-01-2018
The moon, who is the abode of nectar and the presiding deity of all medicines, although immortal like amrta and resplendent in form, loses the brilliance of his rays when he repairs to the abode of the sun (day time). Therefore will not an ordinary man be made to feel inferior by going to live at the house of another. ~ Chanakya
15-01-2018
Those blessed souls are certainly elevated who, while crossing the ocean of life, take shelter of a genuine brahmana, who is likened unto a boat. They are unlike passengers aboard an ordinary ship which runs the risk of sinking. ~ Chanakya
14-01-2018
One may know the four Vedas and the Dharma-sastras, yet if he has no realization of his own spiritual self, he can be said to be like the ladle which stirs all kinds of foods but knows not the taste of any. ~ Chanakya
13-01-2018
He is a chandala who eats his dinner without entertaining the stranger who has come to his house quite accidentally, having traveled from a long distance and is wearied. ~ Chanakya
12-01-2018
Sastric knowledge is unlimited, and the arts to be learned are many; the time we have is short, and our opportunities to learn are beset with obstacles. Therefore select for learning that which is most important, just as the swan drinks only the milk in water. ~ Chanakya
11-01-2018
For want of discernment the most precious jewels lie in the dust at the feet of men while bits of glass are worn on their heads. But we should not imagine that the gems have sunk in value, and the bits of glass have risen in importance. When a person of critical judgement shall appear,
each will be given its right position. ~ Chanakya
09-01-2018
A true meal is that which consists of the remnants left after a brahmana's meal. Love which is shown to others is true love, not that which is cherished for one's own self. To abstain from sin is true wisdom. That is an act of charity which is performed without ostentation. ~ Chanakya
08-01-2018
A bad action committed by a great man is not censured (as there is none that can reproach him), and a good action performed by a low-class man comes to be condemned (because none respects him). Just see: the drinking of nectar is excellent, but it became the cause of Rahu's demise; and the drinking of poison is harmful, but when Lord Shiva (who is exalted) drank it, it became an ornament to his neck (nilakanta). ~ Chanakya
07-01-2018
Sinfully acquired wealth may remain for ten years; in the eleventh year it disappears with even the original stock. ~ Chanakya
06-01-2018
He who loses his money is forsaken by his friends, his wife, his servants and his relations; yet when he regains his riches those who have forsaken him come back to him. Hence wealth is certainly the best of relations. ~ Chanakya
05-01-2018
He who wears unclean garments, has dirty teeth, as a glutton, speaks unkindly and sleeps after sunrise -- although he may be the greatest personality -- will lose the favor of Lakshmi. ~ Chanakya
04-01-2018
There are two ways to get rid of thorns and wicked persons; using footwear in the first case and in the second shaming them so that they cannot raise their faces again thus keeping them at a distance. ~ Chanakya
02-01-2018
There is no treasure on earth the gift of which will cancel the debt a disciple owes his guru for having taught him even a single letter. ~ Chanakya
01-01-2018
Eschew (Avoid) wicked company and associate with saintly persons. Acquire virtue day and night, and always meditate on that which is eternal forgetting that which is temporary. ~ Chanakya
31-12-2017
We should secure and keep the following: the blessings of meritorious deeds, wealth, grain, the words of the spiritual master, and rare medicines. Otherwise life becomes impossible. ~ Chanakya
30-12-2017
The cuckoos remain silent for a long time (for several seasons) until they are able to sing sweetly (in the Spring ) so as to give joy to all. ~ Chanakya
29-12-2017
A wise man should not divulge the formula of a medicine which he has well prepared; an act of charity which he has performed; domestic conflicts; private affairs with his wife; poorly prepared food he may have been offered; or slang he may have heard. ~ Chanakya
28-12-2017
One single object (a woman) appears in three different ways: to the man who practices austerity it appears as a corpse, to the sensual it appears as a woman, and to the dogs as a lump of flesh. ~ Chanakya
27-12-2017
He is a pandit (man of knowledge) who speaks what is suitable to the occasion, who renders loving service according to his ability, and who knows the limits of his anger. ~ Chanakya
26-12-2017
If you wish to gain control of the world by the performance of a single deed, then keep the following fifteen, which are prone to wander here and there, from getting the upper hand of you: the five sense objects (objects of sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch); the five sense organs
(ears, eyes, nose, tongue and skin) and organs of activity (hands, legs, mouth, genitals and anus). ~ Chanakya
25-12-2017
He should be considered to be living who is virtuous and pious, but the life of a man who is destitute of religion and virtues is void of any blessing. ~ Chanakya
24-12-2017
We should always speak what would please the man of whom we expect a favor, like the hunter who sings sweetly when he desires to shoot a deer. ~ Chanakya
23-12-2017
He who lives in our mind is near though he may actually be far away; but he who is not in our heart is far though he may really be nearby. ~ Chanakya
22-12-2017
We should not feel pride in our charity, austerity, valor, scriptural knowledge, modesty and morality for the world is full of the rarest gems. ~ Chanakya
21-12-2017
If a man should feel before, as he feels after, repentance -- then who would not attain perfection? ~ Chanakya
20-12-2017
If men should always retain the state of mind they experience when hearing religious instruction, when present at a crematorium ground, and when in sickness -- then who could not attain liberation. ~ Chanakya
19-12-2017
Oil on water, a secret communicated to a base man, a gift given to a worthy receiver, and scriptural instruction given to an intelligent man spread out by virtue of their nature. ~ Chanakya
18-12-2017
The enemy can be overcome by the union of large numbers, just as grass through its collectiveness wards off erosion caused by heavy rainfall. ~ Chanakya
17-12-2017
Wealth, a friend, a wife, and a kingdom may be regained; but this body when lost may never be acquired again. ~ Chanakya
16-12-2017
Poverty, disease, sorrow, imprisonment and other evils are the fruits borne by the tree of one's own sins. ~ Chanakya
15-12-2017
There are three gems upon this earth; food, water, and pleasing words -- fools (mudhas) consider pieces of rocks as gems. ~ Chanakya
13-12-2017
At the end of the yuga, Mount Meru may be shaken; at the end of the kalpa, the waters of the seven oceans may be disturbed; but a sadhu will never swerve from the spiritual path. ~ Chanakya
12-12-2017
Even the man who has taught the spiritual significance of just one letter ought to be worshiped. He who does not give reverence to such a guru is born as a dog a hundred times, and at last takes birth as a chandala (dog-eater). ~ Chanakya
11-12-2017
Men reap the fruits of their deeds, and intellects bear the mark of deeds performed in previous lives; even so the wise act after due circumspection. ~ Chanakya
10-12-2017
As the man who digs obtains underground water by use of a shovel, so the student attains the knowledge possessed by his preceptor through his service. ~ Chanakya
09-12-2017
He whose actions are disorganized has no happiness either in the midst of men or in a jungle -- in the midst of men his heart burns by social contacts, and his helplessness burns him in the forest. ~ Chanakya
08-12-2017
As a calf follows its mother among a thousand cows, so the (good or bad) deeds of a man follow him. ~ Chanakya
07-12-2017
Who realizes all the happiness he desires? Everything is in the hands of God. Therefore one should learn contentment. ~ Chanakya
06-12-2017
He who sheds bodily identification by means of knowledge of the indwelling Supreme Self (Paramatma), will always be absorbed in meditative trance (samadhi) wherever his mind leads him. ~ Chanakya
05-12-2017
Excessive attachment to sense pleasures leads to bondage, and detachment from sense pleasures leads to liberation; therefore it is the mind alone that is responsible for bondage or liberation. ~ Chanakya
04-12-2017
The hearts of base men burn before the fire of other's fame, and they slander them being themselves unable to rise to such a high position. ~ Chanakya
03-12-2017
He who has acquired neither virtue, wealth, satisfaction of desires nor salvation (dharma, artha, kama, moksa), lives an utterly useless life, like the "nipples" hanging from the neck of a goat. ~ Chanakya
02-12-2017
I consider him who does not act religiously as dead though living, but he who dies acting religiously unquestionably lives long though he is dead. ~ Chanakya
01-12-2017
If the king is virtuous, then the subjects are also virtuous. If the king is sinful, then the subjects also become sinful. If he is mediocre, then the subjects are mediocre. The subjects follow the example of the king. In short, as is the king so are the subjects. ~ Chanakya
30-11-2017
He who is prepared for the future and he who deals cleverly with any situation that may arise are both happy; but the fatalistic man who wholly depends on luck is ruined. ~ Chanakya
29-11-2017
He who is overly attached to his family members experiences fear and sorrow, for the root of all grief is attachment. Thus one should discard attachment to be happy. ~ Chanakya
28-11-2017
O see what a wonder it is! The doings of the great are strange: they treat wealth as light as a straw, yet, when they obtain it, they bend under its weight. ~ Chanakya
27-11-2017
Even as the unborn babe is in the womb of his mother, these five are fixed as his life destiny: his life span, his activities, his acquisition of wealth and knowledge, and his time of death. ~ Chanakya
26-11-2017
It certainly is nature of the demigods, men of good character, and parents to be easily pleased. Near and distant relatives are pleased when they are hospitably received with bathing, food, and drink; and pandits are pleased with an opportunity for giving spiritual discourse. ~ Chanakya
25-11-2017
We should not fret for what is past, nor should we be anxious about the future; men of discernment deal only with the present moment. ~ Chanakya
24-11-2017
A man may live but for a moment, but that moment should be spent in doing auspicious deeds. It is useless living even for a kalpa (4,320,000*1000 years) and bringing only distress upon the two worlds (this world and the next). ~ Chanakya
23-11-2017
The man who remains a fool even in advanced age is really a fool, just as the Indra-Varuna fruit does not become sweet no matter how ripe it might become. ~ Chanakya
22-11-2017
As centesimal droppings will fill a pot so also are knowledge, virtue and wealth gradually obtained. ~ Chanakya
21-11-2017
He who is not shy in the acquisition of wealth, grain and knowledge, and in taking his meals, will be happy. ~ Chanakya
20-11-2017
The unthinking spender, the homeless urchin, the quarrel monger, the man who neglects his wife and is heedless in his actions -- all these will soon come to ruination. ~ Chanakya
19-11-2017
Realized learning (vidya) is our friend while travelling, the wife is a friend at home, medicine is the friend of a sick man, and meritorious deeds are the friends at death. ~ Chanakya
18-11-2017
The desire tree is wood; the golden Mount Meru is motionless; the wish-fulfilling gem cintamani is just a stone; the sun is scorching; the moon is prone to wane; the boundless ocean is saline; the demigod of lust lost his body (due to Shiva's wrath); Bali Maharaja, the son of Diti,
was born into a clan of demons; and Kamadhenu (the cow of heaven) is a mere beast. O Lord of the Raghu dynasty! I cannot compare you to any one of these (taking their merits into account). ~ Chanakya
17-11-2017
O Raghava, the love of virtue, pleasing speech, and an ardent desire for performing acts of charity, guileless dealings with friends, humility in the guru's presence, deep tranquility of mind, pure conduct, discernment of virtues, realised knowledge of the sastras, beauty of

He who regards another's wife as his mother, the wealth that does not belong to him as a lump of mud, and the pleasure and pain of all other living beings as his own -- truly sees things in the right perspective, and he is a true pandit. ~ Chanakya

The house in which the lotus feet of brahmanas are not washed, in which Vedic mantras are not loudly recited, and in which the holy rites of svaha (sacrificial offerings to the Supreme Lord) and swadha (offerings to the ancestors) are not performed, is like a crematorium. ~ Chanakya

10-11-2017
A wicked man may develop saintly qualities in the company of a devotee, but a devotee does not become impious in the company of a wicked person. The earth is scented by a flower that falls upon it, but the flower does not contact the odor of the earth. ~ Chanakya

What fault of spring that the bamboo shoot has no leaves? What fault of the sun if the owl cannot see during the daytime? Is it the fault of the clouds if no raindrops fall into the mouth of the chatak (pied cuckoo) bird? Who can erase what Lord Brahma has inscribed upon our foreheads at the time of birth? ~ Chanakya
08-11-2017
The meritorious should give away in charity all that they have in excess of their needs. By charity only Karna, Bali and King Vikramaditya survive even today. Just see the plight of the honeybees beating their legs in despair upon the earth. They are saying to themselves, "Alas!
We neither enjoyed our stored-up honey nor gave it in charity, and now someone has taken it from us in an instant." ~ Chanakya
07-11-2017

The elephant has a huge body but is controlled by the ankusha (goad): yet, is the goad as large as the elephant? A lighted candle banishes darkness: is the candle as vast as the darkness. A mountain is broken even by a thunderbolt: is the thunderbolt therefore as big as the
mountain? No, he whose power prevails is really mighty; what is there in bulk? ~ Chanakya
03-11-2017

31-10-2017
(Through the night) a great many kinds of birds perch(Sit and rest) on a tree but in the morning they fly in all the ten directions. Why should we lament (Expression of sorrow) for that? (Similarly, we should not grieve when we must inevitably part company from our dear ones). ~ Chanakya

29-10-2017
The brahmana is like tree; his prayers are the roots, his chanting of the Vedas are the branches, and his religious act are the leaves. Consequently effort should be made to preserve his roots for if the roots are destroyed there can be no branches or leaves. ~ Chanakya
28-10-2017
It is better to live under a tree in a jungle inhabited by tigers and elephants, to maintain oneself in such a place with ripe fruits and spring water, to lie down on grass and to wear the ragged barks of trees than to live amongst one's relations when reduced to poverty. ~ Chanakya

25-10-2017
What good can the scriptures do to a man who has no sense of his own? Of what use is as mirror to a blind man? ~ Chanakya
24-10-2017
Those that are empty-minded cannot be benefited by instruction. Bamboo does not acquire the quality of sandalwood by being associated with the Malaya Mountain. ~ Chanakya
23-10-2017
Those who are destitute of learning, penance, knowledge, good disposition, virtue and benevolence are brutes wandering the earth in the form of men. They are burdensome to the earth. ~ Chanakya

19-10-2017
He who desires sense gratification must give up all thoughts of acquiring knowledge; and he who seeks knowledge must not hope for sense gratification. How can he who seeks sense gratification acquire knowledge, and he who possesses knowledge enjoy mundane sense pleasure? ~ Chanakya
18-10-2017
We should carefully scrutinize that place upon which we step (having it ascertained to be free from filth and living creatures like insects, etc.); we should drink water which has been filtered; we should speak only those words which have the sanction of the sastras; and do that act which we have carefully considered. ~ Chanakya
17-10-2017

15-10-2017
Wise men spend their mornings in discussing gambling, the afternoon discussing the activities of women, and the night hearing about the activities of theft. (The first item above refers to the gambling of King Yuddhisthira, the great devotee of Krishna. The second item refers to
the glorious deeds of mother Sita, the consort of Lord Ramachandra. The third item hints at the adorable childhood pastimes of Sri Krishna who stole butter from the elderly cowherd ladies of Gokula. Hence Chanakya Pandits advises wise persons to spend the morning absorbed in Mahabharata, the afternoon studying Ramayana, and the evening devotedly hearing the Srimad-Bhagvatam.) ~ Chanakya

10-10-2017
No messenger can travel about in the sky and no tidings come from there. The voice of its inhabitants as never heard, nor can any contact be established with them. Therefore the brahmana who predicts the eclipse of the sun and moon which occur in the sky must be considered as a
vidwan (man of great learning). ~ Chanakya
09-10-2017
Nectar (amrita) is the best among medicines; eating good food is the best of all types of material happiness; the eye is the chief among all organs; and the head occupies the chief position among all parts of the body. ~ Chanakya

06-10-2017
My dear child, if you desire to be free from the cycle of birth and death, then abandon the objects of sense gratification as poison. Drink instead the nectar of forbearance, upright conduct, mercy, cleanliness and truth. ~ Chanakya
05-10-2017
The earth is encumbered with the weight of the flesh-eaters, winebibbers, dolts and blockheads, who are beasts in the form of men. ~ Chanakya
04-10-2017

01-10-2017
Water seeping into the earth is pure; and a devoted wife is pure; the king who is the benefactor of his people is pure; and pure is the brahmana who is contented. ~ Chanakya
30-09-2017
Beauty is spoiled by an immoral nature; noble birth by bad conduct; learning, without being perfected; and wealth by not being properly utilized. ~ Chanakya
29-09-2017
Moral excellence is an ornament for personal beauty; righteous conduct, for high birth; success for learning; and proper spending for wealth. ~ Chanakya
28-09-2017
Anger is a personification of Yama (the demigod of death); thirst is like the hellish river Vaitarani; knowledge is like a kamadhenu (the cow of plenty); and contentment is like Nandanavana (the garden of Indra). ~ Chanakya

A man who encounters the following three is unfortunate; the death of his wife in his old age, the entrusting of money into the hands of relatives, and depending upon others for food. ~ Chanakya
24-09-2017
Knowledge is lost without putting it into practice; a man is lost due to ignorance; an army is lost without a commander; and a woman is lost without a husband. ~ Chanakya
23-09-2017
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 dinner; and it is like poison when taken at the end of a meal. ~ Chanakya
22-09-2017
The lamp eats up the darkness and therefore it produces lamp black; in the same way according to the nature of our diet (sattva: goodness, positivity, truth; rajas: passion and activity; or tamas: destruction, chaos) we produce offspring in similar quality. ~ Chanakya

Low class men desire wealth; middle class men both wealth and respect; but the noble, honor only; hence honor is the noble man's true wealth. ~ Chanakya
