Chapter – 15– Chanakya Neethi – 11 – 18
Rishi Chanakya speaks “The person who consumes
meals 1) before receiving the guests properly or 2) without serving a meal to the guests
arrived tired of hunger is considered as Chandala. The twice-born/Bhramin who
have profound knowledge in four Vedas, Vedantha, Shastra, Purana, but failed
to achieve the knowledge of Athman/Sarvam Kalvitham Bhrama,/Oneness-in-All, the
supreme Bhramam resides as the soul is pure, eternal, changeless, unblemished, free
from afflictions, has neither birth nor death, is considered as the hood of serpent or
ladle/wooden spatula used to pour ghee
on the fire sacrifices. The twice-born/Bhramin who sincerely follow the rites
prescribed in the scriptures, follows spiritual and religious rites, conduct
Swadhyaya/learning scriptures and practicing Vedic chants etc. undertake austerities,
Sathyam, Dhama, Shaucham, Shama, and Dhaya, are fortunate and unique Jeeva, considered
as ferries to cross the unfathomable ocean of worldly existence. This unique ferry
has the capabilities to guide the righteous, pious, noble souls, down-trodden
to the safest asylum, as well as it has the power to bring down the haughty,
arrogant, evil, wicked-natured crush down under their feet and make them sink
in the vast ocean as well. The people who relentlessly serve the
twice-born/Bhramin and honor them, and sincerely follow their teachings,
provide an abundance of charities to perform spiritual and religious rites for
the welfare of the Universe and its living beings would easily cross the ocean
of worldly existence and repeated births as well. Lord Chandra is the source of
nectar, he is the Lord of herbs, resembles Amritha and has supreme radiance,
even though he can’t outshine the radiance of Lord Surya during the day, in the same manner, people who take shelter in the stranger’s home, even if they
are powerful and wealthiest loses respect. The bees that have taken great
pleasure in the freshly boomed cluster of lotus flowers for a long time moved to unknown lands where there are no availability
of freshly bloomed lotus flowers, takes pleasure in the flowers of Kutaja/ and
highly praises the taste of nectar in it. There was a conversation took place
between Lord Vishnu and Goddess Mahalakshmi. Devi speaks “Oh! Bhagavan, once,
Sage Agasthya got annoyed and dried up the entire ocean who is my father. On another occasion, Sage Bhrighu got angry and gave a hard kick on the chest of
my husband/Lord Vishnu. The twice-born Bhramin take shelter in Goddess
Saraswathi from their childhood to achieve knowledge in Veda, Vedantha, Shastra
and Puranas, they place Goddess Saraswathi on their tongue, conduct the
veneration of Umakantha/Lord Mahadeva/Shivapooja, offering freshly bloomed
lotus flowers, which is the dwelling place of mine that is the reason I feel distressed and leaving their homes.” The worldly bondages are different types 1)
attachment to family, children, wife, companion, relatives 2) attachment to
material things, richness, possession, wealth, fame, money, etc. In either way,
both of them are capable to weaken the potential to achieve the Paramathma
Parambhramam, and destroys the serenity
of the mind, ultimately heave the Jeeva
into the vicious cycles of rebirths, like the Shadpadha that takes pleasure in
hiding in the trees got stuck in the cluster of lotus flowers. The noble souls
and righteous people will not leave their virtues/Sathguna even if they are
penniless, had to confront vicious challenges, like the sandalwood tree will
not leave its fragrance while cutting them down, the untamed elephant does not
leave it ferocious nature even after
growing too old, and the sugarcane does not lose its sweetness after crushing
it.”
