This book is on Chanakyaniti/ Nitishashtra About Philosophy & Ideology A few universally true and all time applicable quotes are:
Time consumes all creatures. It kills everyone.It awakes when people sleep. No one can escape from its consuming power. Do not be too simple and too straight.Go to the jungle and see how the smooth and straight trees are cut down mercifully but the crooked ones are still standing unharmed. Do not stay too close to the king.It is dangerous but do not stay too far off from them, it will gain you no rewards.Just keep hovering around at a safe distance.

Kautliya Arthashastra is also known as The way of financial management and economic governance. With relevance in corporate world and governance. Discipline in Arthashastra:Covered today Politics,Economics,Judiciary and Administration but it did not Covered foreign policy & war strategies.

THE KING (The leader): In today's corporate world we call him the Director, CEO, etc. Without him we will loose direction. THE MINISTER (The manager): He is the man who is always in action. An extra ordinary leader and an efficient manager together bring into existence a remarkable organisation. THE COUNTRY (Your market): It is the area of your operation. The place from where you get your revenue and cash flow. THE FORTIFID CITY (Head office): It's from here that your central administrative work is done. It's the nucleus and the center of any organisation. THE TREASURY THE ARMY (Your team): The army consists of your team members. Those who are ready to fight for the organisation. The salesmen, the accountant, the driver, the peon - all of them add to your team. THE ALLY (friend / consultant)

Do not put your trust in a bad companion nor even trust an ordinary friend, for if he should get angry with you, he may bring all your secrets to light. Consider again and again the following: the right time, the right friends, the right place, the right means of income, the right ways of spending, and from whom you derive your power. A man is born alone and dies alone; and he experiences the good and bad consequences of his karma alone; and he goes alone to hell or the Supreme abode. Those born blind cannot see; similarly blind are those in the grip of lust. Proud men have no perception of evil; and those bent on acquiring riches see no sin in their actions.

One should feel satisfied with the following three things; his own wife, food given by Providence and wealth acquired by honest effort; but one should never feel satisfied with the following three; study, chanting the holy names of the Lord (japa) and charity. Mental dirt cannot be washed away even by one-hundred baths in the sacred waters, just as a wine pot cannot be purified even by evaporating all the wine by fire.
