'Kingmaker‘ As a po litical thinker, he was the first
to visualize the concept of a 'nation' for the first time in human history
Intellectual power, man power, financial power, power of enthusiasm and morale
“For the king there is danger of revolt in the interior or in the outer regions.’’
“Control over the senses, which are motivated by training in the sciences, should be secured by giving up lust, anger, greed, pride, arrogance and overexcitement.’’
POWER
If the king is energetic, his subjects will be equally energetic. If he is slack, his subjects will also be lazy, thereby eating into his wealth.’’
“The king, the minister, the country, the fortified city, the treasury, the army, and the ally are the constituent elements of the state.’’-Seven pillars of business.
Success is threefold-that attainable by the power of counsel is success by counsel, that attainable by power of might is success by might, that attainable by power of energy is success by energy.’’
“He (leader) should constantly hold an inspection of their works, men being inconstant in their minds.’’
“Just as an elephant, blinded by intoxication and mounted by an intoxicated driver, crushes whatever it finds, so the king, not possessed of the eye of science, and blind, has risen to destroy the citizens and the country people.’’
“He should hear every urgent matter, not put it off. An affair postponed becomes difficult to settle or even impossible to settle.’’
“Bravery, resentment, quickness and dexterity – these are the qualities of energy.’’
QUALITIES OF A LEADER
“After ascertaining the relative strength or weakness of powers, place, time, revolts in rear, loses, expenses, gains and troubles, of himself and of the enemy, the conqueror should march ahead.’’
“The enemies should not come to know of his secrets; he should, however, find out the weakness of the enemy. He should conceal as a tortoise does his limbs, any limb of his own that may have become exposed.’’
Time comes but once to a man waiting for an opportunity; that time is difficult for that man to get again when he wants to do his work.’’
COMPETITION
Reasons for dissatisfaction of subjects : discarding the good and favouring the wicked.
By starting unrighteous injuries not current before, by indulgence in impiety and suppression of piety, by doing acts that ought not to be done
By ruining rightfull acts, by not giving what ought to be given and securing what ought not to be given to him.
By doing harm to principal men and dishonouring those worthy of honour, by opposing the elders, by partiality and falsehood.
By the negligence and indolence of the king and because of the destruction of well being decline, greed and disaffection are produced in the subjects.
