Chanakya Neeti

पत्रं नैव यदा करीलविटपे दोषो वसन्तस्य किं नोलूकोऽप्यवलोकते यदि दिवा सूर्यस्य किं दूषणम् । वर्षा नैव पतन्ति चातकमुखे मेघस्य किं दूषणं यत्पूर्वं विधिना ललाटलिखितं तन्मार्जितुं कः क्षमः II६II

sanskrit

What is the crime in spring if leaves do not appear on bamboo? What is the fault of the sun if the owl cannot see during the day? What is the fault of the clouds if the rain drops do not fall into the beak of the Chatak bird? How can anyone change what Brahma has decided at the time of birth?

सत्सङ्गाद्भवति हि साधुना खलानां साधूनां नहि खलसङ्गतः खलत्वम् । आमोदं कुसुमभवं मृदेव धत्ते मृद्रन्धं नहि कुसुमानि धारयन्ति ॥७II

sanskrit

Virtues can arise in the mind of a wicked person if he attends satsang with a saint. But a saint does not get polluted by associating with the wicked, just as a flower that falls on the ground makes the earth fragrant but the flower does not absorb the smell of the earth.

साधूनां दर्शनं पुण्यं तीर्थभूता हि साधवः । कालेन फलते तीर्थं सद्यः साधुसमागमः ॥८II

sanskrit

Seeing the saints is virtue. This is because the sage is a form of pilgrimage. Pilgrimage gives results in time, but company of sages fulfills desires quickly.

विप्रास्मिन्नगरे महान्कथय कस्तालद्वमाणां गणः को दाता रजको ददाति वसनं प्रातर्गृहीत्वा निशि । को दक्षः परवित्तदारहरणे सर्वोऽपि दक्षो जनः कस्माज्जीवसि हे सखे विषकृमिन्यायेन जीवाम्यहम् II९II

sanskrit

A stranger asked a Brahmin "Tell me, what is great in this city?". The Brahmin replied that the group of palm trees is great. The stranger asked who is the donor here? Answer: Mila is the washerman who takes the clothes in the morning and returns them in the evening. The question was who is the most capable here? The answer was found that everyone here is skilled in kidnapping other people's money and women. The question was how do you live in such a place? The answer was that it is like a poisonous insect that lives in poison only.

sanskrit

The house where the feet of Brahmins do not have mud. And neither the roar of the words of the Vedas nor the house which is devoid of self-respect, should be considered like a crematorium.
