Man is a social animal and sharing his joys and sorrows, achievements and family matters with others is considered a part of human nature. However, the pioneers of ancient Indian diplomacy, Acharya Chanakya, Mahatma Vidur and scholars of Niti Shastra clearly believe that not every person has true sympathy or feelings of goodness towards you. Many times, due to over-enthusiasm, naivety or over-confidence, we reveal the secrets of our net worth, bank balance, investments and weaknesses of the house to such people, who become the cause of our ruin in future. According to Niti Shastra, one should always keep one’s money and household secrets hidden from people with certain tendencies, otherwise honour, property and family can suffer huge losses.
According to ethics, never tell the secrets of your home and money to these 5 people
According to Chanakya Niti and Vidur Niti, one should always be cautious and have limited conversation with people having the following nature:
-
1. Jealous & Toxic People: Never mention your property, new profits or family plans in front of people who feel angry after seeing your success or progress. Such people speak sweetly on the outside but as soon as they get a chance, they take advantage of your weaknesses and leave no stone unturned to tarnish your image and cause financial loss.
-
2. Habitual Gossipers: People who have the bad habit of spreading the personal life details of others can never protect your secret. Even if you accidentally tell them about your domestic troubles or financial constraints/savings, they will make a scene of it in the entire society.
-
3. Selfish and Opportunistic Friends: Never let people who come close to you only during their work hours or on good days have an accurate idea of your financial situation. When they come to know that you have a lot of money, they embezzle your money by luring you into an emotional trap and are the first to leave you in difficult times.
-
4. Greedy and drug addicts: Never share your cash, jewelery or safe details with a person who is addicted to gambling, betting or drug addiction. To fulfill their addiction, such people do not hesitate in theft, betrayal or even adopting criminal paths.
-
5. Dissatisfied or angry servant of the house: If there is any employee or person in your house who is constantly dissatisfied and negative, then never reveal the confidential documents, passwords or cupboard information of the house in front of him. The dissatisfaction of an insider forms the foundation of the greatest betrayal.
Which 3 things should always be kept a complete secret?
Acharya Chanakya has clearly said in his verse that every sensible person should always keep three things limited to himself:
-
Destruction (loss of money or actual saving): Neither flaunt your real wealth unnecessarily nor cry about your business losses in front of everyone. Showing off attracts the attention of thieves and greedy people, whereas showing off your losses reduces your reputation in the society and makes you reluctant to help.
-
Manastapam (family disputes and domestic distress): Never tell any third person about the discord between husband and wife or the internal fights in the house. As soon as domestic disputes come out, instead of resolving them, people enjoy them and increase distance.
-
Griha Duscharitani (Secret shortcomings of the house): Do not make public the weaknesses or personal mistakes of any member of your family, as this humiliates the entire family.
