In plain words
As he digs that well, all the earth becomes like a mound. Right next to the mound is the pit. The one who looks at the pit looks down. The one who looks at the mound looks up. You have to climb the mound. You have to go down into the pit. But what is the mound? What is the pit? The earth of the pit is the very earth of the mound; the earth of the mound is the very earth of the pit. If you put that earth from the mound into the pit, it becomes level. Now money has piled up in plenty with some people. If crores have piled up in plenty with one man, he has dug a pit somewhere. Without a pit this much cannot pile up. You must take that earth from the mound and fill the pits. This is balance. Cāṇakya kept relying on this kind of balance. In the science of economics, Cāṇakya's śāstra is great.
For daily life the Dharma-śāstra is essential. When one makes Artha and Dharma both one, Kāma turns pure. A desire has come. You must not put that desire into action the moment it comes. You must inquire whether it accords with Dharma or not. What is my strength? What is its strength? Will there be a proper match between it and me? Take a small example. At your age you understand only when you are given a fitting example that touches you. You go to a company as a manager. You are educated. You have come as a manager, but your family is a poor family. The man who is the leader of your company has a daughter. You think you would like to marry that girl. Then you must look into your Artha-śāstra. At what level is my wealth? At what level is his wealth? Will a match with this come about or not? To set your fancy on such things is very wrong. Dharma comes in there. If you do not make this inquiry, you will turn into a mad man. Not only mad, you will turn bad too. Your management will be lost as well. So if you seek only your desire without inquiring well into Artha and Dharma, danger will surely come to your own future. So even in small matters, in those days the Dharma-śāstra and the Artha-śāstra gave the ideal. Moreover, you are the ones who are to become managers. Do not set your aim on pay. We must accomplish the work. We must develop the factory. If you set your aim on how to develop it, your own future too will surely develop. Suppose that at first, on appointment, you get 1500. Do not make comparisons: "I passed my BA and then my MBA, and only 1500 rupees?" First, join. Deliver all your work satisfactorily. Only then will they be satisfied. They will raise your salary. You must set your desire on the right path.
