RECTITUDE |
|
If your thoughts show signs of turning from the path of rectitude, know
that misfortune awaits you. You can perceive the swerving of your mind before anyone else
sees it. Look upon it as an evil portent and beware. If the man who walks firmly in the
path of rectitude thereby loses his worldly possessions, his poverty does not lower him in
the estimation of the world. He retains his status in society as if nothing had happened
to him.
Let businessmen know that it is good business to protect the interests
of others exactly as they do their own. This is the Kural version of the formula that
honesty is the best policy. Rectitude is not only dharma but good economic policy also. |
