Burns Without Fire

A wife and girl friend hold an important position in a man's life. When a man falls in love with a woman he cannot even think about a life without her and if they get separated he becomes hopeless in life. According to Acharya Chanakya, a good man burns without fire in six conditions. He said, 

1. separation from the wife, 
2. disgrace from one’s own people, and 
3. an enemy saved in battle, 
4. service to a wicked king, 
5. poverty, and a 
6. mismanaged assembly

is the six kinds of evils, if afflicting a person, burn him even without fire. Chanakya said that if a good man is caught in war by his enemy he feels disgraced and insulted throughout his life. Similarly, if a man is insulted by his own people he gets hurt and suffers. Also if a good man serves a wicked king he suffers throughout his life.
