Spies

Categories And Places Of Deployment For Spies:

1. Spies can be introduced within fort walls as traders and businessmen, 
2. Used at the outskirts of towns and beyond fort walls in guise of ascetics and religious teachers 
3. Forests ought to be monitored by spies in guise of forest dwellers, although here again Chanakya shows his basic inclusivity by pointing out that forest-dwellers should also be inducted into the intelligence apparatus as serving personnel (Btw, this reminds me of how the initial Kargil alert was apparently sounded by shepherds along the high ranges). 
4. Border spies must be posted and closely monitored for their ability to resist lures of fame, money, honours or women

Past Future Present

We should not fret for what is past, nor should we be anxious about the future; men of discernment deal only with the present moment.

It is true that nobody can change the past. But, some people keep thinking about what happened in the past and end up ruining their present and future. According to Acharya Chanakya, a person who is always worried about whatever happened in the past can never be happy. One should learn from their past and move ahead in life. He says, every person should make sure that he doesn’t repeat the mistakes committed in the past. Staying upset about something that happened will not serve any purpose.

Similarly, people should not get upset about some predictions that may happen in future. Chanakya says, predicting future is impossible and there are high chances that the prophesies may prove false. Hence, a man should not worry about the past or the future and live in the present. Following this principle will keep a man happy throughout his life.

Mother Sister Prostitute

A good wife is one who

1. serves her husband in the morning like a mother does, 
2. loves him in the day like a sister does and 
3. pleases him like a prostitute in the night. 

Explanation :

1. Like Mother : Get him Ready For Day's Job 
2. Like Sister : Be a Friend to Support Him in Trials of Day 
3. Like Prostitute : Provide all Physical Requirements - to Ensure loyalty
