Give up on the Faith without Compassion | Arthashastra 255

त्यजेद्धर्म दयाहीनं विद्याहीनं गुरुं त्यजेत्।

त्यजेत क्रोध मुखी भार्यं नि:स्नेहान्बान्ध्वांस्यजेत् ।।

Tyajedharma Dayaaheenam Viddyaaheenam Gurum Tyajet |

Tyajettkrodhamukhi Bharyaam Nihsnehaanbaandhavaansyajet ||

Give up the faith devoid of compassion; the Guru devoid of knowledge, an irritable spouse and relations devoid of affection.

Faith, which is devoid of compassion is no faith; the Guru, who is devoid of knowledge is no guru; a spouse devoid of good manners is no spouse and the relations devoid of affection are no relations, hence they ought to be left for good.
