Chankya ~ Three Step Testing ~ Powerful Lesson

One day man approached Chankya and enthusiastically started saying, “

Do you know, few days a while ago, I heard things from your friend about you?”

Chankya :Before I listen to what you have to say, I would like to test it through my three-step testing.

Man:What is this three-step test?

Chankya: Before you tell me about what my friend has said, let us test it. I call this testing – a three-step test. The first test is of truthfulness Is it sure that whatever you are going to say is a truth?”

Man: No, I have heard it from somewhere.”

Chankaya: Okay, If you don’t know whether this is true or not, we will do another test. The second test is for goodness. Are you going to tell me some good thing about my friend?”

Man: No, it’s opposite to it.

Chankya :Then Whatever you are going to say, is not the truth, is not positive about my friend then let's do the third test. The third test is of usefulness. Whatever you are going to tell me, is that useful to me?”

Man:No, it’s not like that.

Chankya then said the last thing.

“Whatever you are supposed to tell me, it is not true, it's not positive and it's not useful also, then why do you want to tell me?”
