Chanakya Niti · Chanakya (Vishnugupta / Kautilya) · Ancient India (c. 4th–3rd century BCE)

Chanakya, whose counsel raised an empire, knew that great undertakings demand a mind unclouded by regret or fear. This verse captures that practical wisdom: he holds up the vicakshana — the clear-sighted — as those who neither mourn the past nor dread the future, but give themselves wholly to the present, and so act with clarity and calm.

✦ ਸ਼ਾਸਤਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਦੱਸੇ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ

Wise teachers say this single verse has the power to lift a sinking heart at once, for the moment one truly stops grieving the past and dreading the future, the burden of the mind falls away and only the clear, workable present remains.

ਅਰਥ:One should not grieve over what is past, nor should one worry over the future; the wise live their lives in the present time alone. Chanakya teaches the secret of a steady mind: to release regret for what is gone and anxiety for what is to come, and to act fully in the living present.

ਉੱਤਮ ਸਮਾਂMorning reflection, or whenever the mind is caught in regret or worry

Recite the verse slowly and let each clause loosen the mind's grip: the past is gone — release grief; the future is not yet — set down worry; the wise live now — return to the present. Breathe and rest the attention in the present moment. It is traditionally studied among Chanakya's teachings on a steady mind.

It is a famous verse from the Chanakya Niti (Niti Darpana), the collection of aphorisms attributed to Chanakya (Kautilya / Vishnugupta), the ancient Indian teacher of ethics, statecraft and practical wisdom.

That the wise neither lament the past nor fret over the future, but live fully in the present. By letting go of regret and anxiety, one keeps the mind clear and steady, which is the foundation of both peace and effective action.

It is a concise antidote to overthinking. When the mind is pulled into old sorrows or future fears, recalling this verse helps bring attention back to the present, where alone life can actually be lived and right action taken.
