Indians consider Chanakya to be a great administrator and one of the wisest man to have ever born. They treat him as their Wisdom Guru.

In his book, Chanakya Niti, (Chapter 07, couplet no.12), Chanakya says

"Do not be very upright in your dealings for you would see by going to the forest that straight trees are cut down while crooked ones are left standing."

hez saying be a weasel in life. cause honest people are always at the receiving end from their from their foes/circumstances in life etc.

like this :

A house having a venomous snake is not suitable for living. In the same manner, a house having an ill-tempered wife with low morals, deceitful friends, or with an impolite talkative servant is also not suitable for living.

A good wife is pious, expert at household chores, faithful and never speaks a lie to her husband.

However if she is judged to have a temper:

A man must leave a religion without love and compassion, must leave a teacher without knowledge. Also its better to leave a short tempered wife and relatives with no love and respect for you.

makes me laugh because by that standard everyone should leave Brahminism

women come in only two forms wife or prostitute for him and the wife is almost nothing :

You can earn money after losing it, you can make new friends, and also you can get another wife, but this is not the case with the body. [take good care of your health]

That explains the attitude we have heard of in past times of hindus to their womenfolk being kidnapped.

He blames Sita's beauty for her kidnapping not Rama's trickery or Ravan's ego

The three views of three beings for a very beautiful woman. She will be equivalent to a corpse for some Yogi, a lustful man will consider her as an object of desire, and for a dog she will be nothing more than a big lump of meat. [… contains very deep meaning. Discretion advised]

for a holy man he seems very knowledgeable about prostitutes:

It is the characteristic of a <banned word filter activated> that she talks with one man, stares at another with a third person in her mind. If is not the mistake of that <banned word filter activated>, but is of the man who thinks that she will love him.

A foolish man easily falls in love with a <banned word filter activated> and then becomes her toy. She will use him, betray him, trick him, and finally destroy him.

 

and his ideas about maya are fairly strange , on one hand speaking of non-entanglement and then advising to be shameless in acquiring it , again he does his best to stereotype women to illustrate his points:

Money comparable to the bride of an orthodox family is not of much use. It must be like a prostitute available to anyone in need. (planned investment is better than savings)

This does not surprise me considering it is coming from a Brahmin practicing the Hindu faith. Almost all ancient faiths (including the Abrahamic faiths and Hindusim) treat women as subordinate slaves, sexual objects, and the source of misery/destruction for mankind. It's only Sikhi that truly gave equal respect to women, and it saddens me to see some Sikh women that misuse the freedom/equality they have been blessed to be born in to by throwing themselves and their progeny back into denigration by marrying out with some Christian or Muslim or Hindu.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
