Today we will discuss about the Chanakya Sutra “नास्ति बुद्धिमतां शत्रुः” When translated to Hindi says ” बुद्धिमानो का कोई शत्रु नहीं होता ” and in English it means “Intelligent men have no enemies“. Acharya Vishnugupta Chanakya emphasised a lot on importance of good behaviour, decent conduct, and appropriate tone. This article is an attempt to explain why such things matter.
The academic knowledge matters a lot, but equally important is the practical wisdom. A man who lacks in either is to be considered as incomplete. In the Chanakya Neeti Kautilya says that “Like Money in hands of others is of no use. In same manner knowledge confined to books is also of no use to a person“. In other words we can say that no matter how knowledgeable a man is, he cannot be considered wise if his behaviour/interaction is inappropriate. Try Imagining a man with no enemies. Like any other man he has control over a few things in life and there also exists a lot of things on whom he has no control. For such man to exist it becomes almost mandatory to avoid any unnecessary conflict that might deviate him from his main objectives. By avoiding unnecessary/unprofitable conflicts , he actually puts some serious efforts to maintain/enhance his productivity. In addition, such approach automatically creates a few safeguards as well. I have seen a lot of men confusing ego with valor, self-esteem, and many beautiful terms. It must be understood that a conflict only adds more problems to the existing problem. One favor a man can do to himself is to look for solutions instead of devising the means to satisfy ego. What’s really important is your mission, there already exists a hundred threats, better don’t be one of them. I have seen people arguing for hours over unnecessary things and with people in habit of relating every second thing with the matter of prestige. Also, I am quite sure that you know a few of them. If you are not such a person, then I would like to congratulate for being such a good man. If not, then all I have to say is that “A stitch in time saves nine“. Any man who aims at satisfying his ego is either wasting his precious time or is creating an unnecessary friction. We can remove half of the hurdles in life, just by not creating them with our own hands. Isn’t that awesome?
