Achrya Chanakya was a great thinker, economist, and diplomat. He wrote a book called Chanakya Niti. In his book, Chanakya says that it often happens that the people we trust the most are the ones who threaten us. Because we trust them so much, we remain unaware of them, and they take advantage of this opportunity. Always remember: we are always wary of those who are our external enemies, because we know very well that they are our enemies. Therefore, we can easily deal with such enemies. However, if those who are very close to us threaten us, we can get into big trouble, because we would not have even imagined it, Chanakya said. How can we protect ourselves from such people? Chanakya also said some things about this, and today we will learn about it.

Don't trust anyone immediately – Chanakya says that there are some people in this world who sweet-talk us to gain their own benefits. They try to win our trust. We often trust such people immediately, but they will pose a threat to us in the future. Therefore, don't trust anyone immediately; first, test that person on every criterion and only then trust them, this is Chanakya's advice.

Always be cautious of such people – Chanakya says that you should always be cautious of such people who always try to find your weaknesses, even if that person is close to you, but you should be cautious of such people, this is in your benefit, otherwise such a person can betray you.

Keep your plans secret – Often you make some plans for your future, but keep such plans secret, no matter how close that person is to you, never tell him your future plans, because when such a person becomes your enemy, you may be in danger from him, hence keep your plans secret, this is what Chanakya has advised.

Give the relationship time – Chanakya says that if someone befriends you, don't immediately open up and reveal everything about yourself to them, but rather give the new relationship time. Chanakya says that you can trust them only when you are confident that they won't betray you.
