Acharya Chanakya has touched various aspects of life in ethics. Acharya Chanakya has also discussed various aspects of human life, from politics to economics and nature in ethics. Chanakya has also told about how to earn money in policy scripture and has also told about some methods that the money earned can bring you poverty rather than good luck. Let us now know about it in detail.
Unaccounted money
According to Chanakya policy, if you earn money in immoral ways then you never get good fortune. That is, if you earn money by breaking the rules, then this wealth leads you to poverty. If you take bribe, work without money, then it is immoral wealth and you should avoid such money.
Fraudulent money
If you cheat someone to earn money or keep someone in deception, then such wealth does not give you prosperity. The money earned by cheating someone gives you mental trouble and if you know about deception, then you also have infamy. Therefore, one should never think about earning money by deception.
Stolen money
According to Acharya Chanakya, the money earned from theft is always in vain. The wealth of theft does not give spiritual satisfaction and the person who does so loses respect in the society. The economic condition of the person who is stolen gradually deteriorates, never improves.
Chanakya policy verse
Unjustly Dravya Das Varshani Tishti.
Get Ekadashe Varsha Samulam Vinashti.
This verse given in Chanakya policy means – the money earned in injustice, dishonesty and wrong ways lasts only for ten years. This money is completely destroyed as soon as it takes eleventh year.
