What makes us human? | Arthashastra



येषां न विद्या न तपो, न दानं न चापि शीलं न गुणो न धर्म:।

ते मृत्युलोके भुवि भारभूता मनुष्यरूपेन मृगाश्चरन्ति ।।


Yeshaam Na Viddya no Tapo Na Daanam Na Chaapi Sheelam Na Guno Na Dharamah |

Te Mrittuloke Bhuvi Bhaarabhootaa Manushyaroopen Mrigaashcharanti ||


Those who have no education or knowledge, no determination, no charitable disposition, no manners, no virtuous qualities and no firm faith are just a dead load on this earth. They are verily beasts in human form roaming about on the earth.
  • A man should be educated with the capacity to undergo penance to achieve certain objectives

  • He ought to have a charitable disposition, good manners, virtuous qualities and firm faith in his religion or belief

  • If a man lacks these, he is just a biped animal
