Work ethics of Chanakya

Chanakya is believed to be an intelligent man . He could solve any problem by taking correct steps so that result would be in our favour .

He was the minister in King Chandra Gupta Mourya's court . Chinese travellers were visiting King's court .

Same way , a Chinese traveller had visited the court . He wanted to meet Chanakya . When he reached the house of Chanakya , traveller saw Chanakya writing something under the shade of oil lamp .

He waited till Chanakya finish his work . After that , he went inside to meet Chanakya . By seeing the traveller , Chanakya blew off the burning lamp . He went inside and came out with another lamp .

Traveller was puzzled by this . He asked Chanakya why did he blew off the previous lamp ? They could manage with that .

Chanakya replied , " The previous lamp was running by the oil I had purchased in people's tax money . I am using that lamp only for official work . Now you have come . You are my guest . Since it is not good to use that lamp for my personal work , I have blown off the lamp ."

This shows working ethics of Chanakya .
