Chanakya Niti 6.5 meaning
yasy-arthas tasya mitrani yasy-arthas tasya bandhavah
yasy-arthah sa pumanl loke yasy-arthah sa cha panditah
यस्यार्थास्तस्य मित्राणि यस्यार्थास्तस्य बान्धवाः ।
यस्यार्थाः स पुमाँल्लोके यस्यार्थाः स च पण्डितः ॥
Whoever has money has friends; whoever has money has relatives. Whoever has money is counted as somebody in the world, and is even called wise.
What it means
This is a blunt observation, not an ideal. Society often flatters wealth. Know this so you aren't fooled by fair-weather friends, and so you earn wisely without letting money define your worth.हिंदी में अर्थ
जिसके पास धन है, उसी के मित्र होते हैं, उसी के रिश्तेदार होते हैं। धनवान को ही दुनिया कुछ मानती है और उसी को विद्वान भी कहती है।
यह आदर्श नहीं, कड़वी सच्चाई है—दुनिया अक्सर पैसे की चापलूसी करती है। इसे समझो ताकि मतलबी दोस्तों से धोखा न खाओ, और समझदारी से कमाओ।
