Do not reveal these four things ever in public as it will be a cause of embarrassment later. This wise statement was uttered by none other than Chanakya. He has talked about how careful everyone should be and how carefully they should hide their family secrets in order to be safe and happy.

Adhering to values will improve the quality of your life and success can be achieved at any stage. Otherwise, it will only be a source of embarrassment if you divulge your innermost secrets to someone. Let us read further and see what kind of information we should withhold from others.

1. Charity should be done only for punya and not for recognition arising due to that act. In the past, people used to be really serious about following these precepts but as time passed by, presence and distrust in the scriptures set in into the minds of people, and as a result, the innocence of yesteryears was lost. It is good to believe to an extent, everything, but believing everything without discerning the truth about things, makes you a gullible naïve person. It is good to be good but not good to be naïve. So they used to say that the left hand should not come to know what the right hand donated to some body and vice versa. Usually the mantra or adhyatmic sadhana and charity both have to be done in utter secrecy or the main intent is lost. Charity offers you on a platter, the punya and the recognition/praises.

Some of us, give away things in charity only to get recognized for it. If their charitable deed reaches no one's ears, then they raise their trumpet and start blowing it so that it draws some recognition finally. So the shastras say that the primary intent behind charity is to gain punya and even displaying it publicly takes away a good measure of that punya you accrued from it.

2. Households are synonymous with issues, quarrels and misunderstandings. But they should not be revealed anywhere. The information you give out will be used against you, or it may be used for some other nefarious purpose, or it may be used to slander your familys reputation. Or plainly people may sympathise at your face, and then laugh it off behind your back. They may tell your tales to the concerned person and create a permanent misunderstanding between you and put you in trouble. So it is best not to let anyone know about what is happening inside the four walls of your house.

3. Any differences between the husband and wife must not be discussed openly with third persons. It may cause a rift in your relationship. Your partner may not like getting exposed in public or may not like others to know what they speak how they behave or how frequently they quarrel with you. You may think that your partner will be belittled. Actually it is you who is getting belittled in the eyes of people. When you talk ill about your partner, you will be unveiling yourself and your weaknesses rather than your partners. So do not talk behind some ones back, most importantly behind your partners back. Your partner is your backbone and do not stab your own back.

4. Do not divulge it to any one if you know some potent siddha medicines. Because by revealing them their efficacy will be lost. Others may misuse for their own ends and this will hold you indirectly responsible for the consequences.
