desire 6) impurities /Ego, desire, lust, pride, jealousy and 7) mercilessness”
Rishi Chanakya speaks “It is rare to receive a woman as a wedded wife with these specific qualities, if so, it
is available only for the man who has an abundance of piousness achieved through
extreme Tapasya/Mahath Tapasya. 1) It is
highly fortunate to receive a woman as a wedded wife who is highly thoughtful in
handling the Bhogavasthu/comforts and luxuries, have great control over the
sense, good control over the usage of the luxuries. The over-indulgence of any
luxuries would cause obsession and addiction, and eventually, make life miserable
living without it. Therefore the wedded wife should have a great skill to
survive in any circumstances and run the family affairs smoothly, with the knowledge that all the material matters
have impermanent nature. 2) It is fortunate to achieve woman as wedded wife
who is attractive and has great knowledge in Rathishakthi/amorous sport to
appease her partner and skill to observe celibacy and vows 3) It is fortunate to attain a woman as a wedded wife who
has the inheritance of an abundance of wealth, and 4) Woman with great
compassion and benevolence to offer wealth inherited in charities.”
Rishi Chanakya speaks “A person achieves
heavenly pleasure while living on the Earth in the following circumstances, 1) If
he has a virtuous son who sincerely follows the command of parents, disciplined,
and perform righteous deeds for the welfare of all 2) If he has possessed the woman
as a wedded wife who is extremely kind, virtuous, righteous, and sincerely follow
the ‘Sthree Dharma’. 3) The person who is contented with wealth and
possessions remain serene and blissful always.”
Rishi Chanakya speaks “ I shall describe
the ideal nature of Puthra and Puthri/son, parents, companion, and a wife. 1) An
ideal son is the one who has a great devotion to parents, sincerely follow the
commands and wishes of parents, kind, caring, and respectful 2) an ideal parent
is the one who brings up their children instilling virtues like truthfulness,
selflessness, uprightness, discipline, kindness, compassion, and righteousness
to become a responsible youth 3) an ideal companion is the one who is faithful
in all the situation, and lift your morale during the hours of struggle 4) a flawless wife is the one who satisfies the
physical needs of her husband and live in complete harmony with the people in the
family, strive hard to restore peace in the family so that everyone in the
family can live under one roof with utmost serenity.”
Rishi Chanakya speaks “I shall explain
the nature of a wicked companion, they are like the vessel of toxic poison
covered with the milk, they speak sweet-nectar like words in your presence, they
abundantly praise your virtues and deeds, present themselves as most sincere
and devoted to you, make all efforts to impress you. In your absence, they spread rumors at the speed
of wind and work against you, these kinds of people should be abandoned forever.”
Rishi Chanakya speaks “There are two
categories of people who are least trustworthy 1) a wicked companion indulged
in morally wrong deeds and 2) Samanya/common
companion, these two types of companions are extremely dangerous, they cannot
keep confidential matters within them, speak out all your confidential matters
in a sudden impulse or anger.”
Rishi Chanakya speaks “An intelligent
will not disclose his/her future plans about the proposed project publicly until and
unless ready to bring into the scene, they enthusiastically discuss the detailed plans with close associates who are truthful and intelligent, and sincerely engage in the execution of the proposed project to put into action.”
Rishi Chanakya speaks “I shall explain
some of the common truth, 1) foolishness causes extreme grief same as
youthfulness. 2) It is far more difficult to live with strangers or Parageha/house
of unknown. 3) The precious stones cannot be seen in all the mountain peaks, and
in the same manner, 4) pearls cannot be seen in the forehead of all the
elephants, 5) Sajjanas cannot be seen everywhere 6) the precious sandalwood cannot
be found in all the forest.”
Rishi Chanakya speaks “The intelligent
parents bring up their children with great care, instills good qualities, like truthfulness,
virtuousness, discipline, good habits, knowledge in scriptures and sacred texts/Neethishasthra,
belief in spiritual as well as religious and customary rites would shine as
responsible youth and bring fame and prosperity to the clan.”
