However, what he did next surprised his students further. Instead of sitting down and resting his foot, Acharya Chanakya simply walked to a near shop that sold Mattha, a cold sweet drink made of curd (lassi). Instead of taking a sip, he poured the drink onto the nearby shrub 2/n
His confused students asked him why he did what he did? To this Chanakya replied that what happened to him did not matter but how he reacted mattered most. His reaction to his situation was the important part. The thorn that pricked him was the problem. Instead of..3/n
..cursing, Chanakya simply decided to destroy it by its roots so that it could not grow back again. By pouring the sweet drink over the shrub, he gave an open invitation to the ants to come and destroy the shrub at the roots. Hence, the problem was nullified at the root 4/n
