Dear Students,
We are conventionally concerned for materialistic development. Pitifully, this is not enough. Concurrently,we should also strive for spiritual development. Once these two coexist, we can achieve wholesome development.
Values & ethics are the hinges of spiritual development.
But what are the ingredients of values & ethics ? The following constituents will help to understand this:
People conscience: Belief in the ‘goodness’ of people and drive to act on people-oriented values; an acute awareness of the central importance of the human capital.
Responsibility: The capacity for taking psychological ownership of personal behaviour, especially work; an understanding of how to help others, feel similar ownership for
their work.
Rectitude: The capability to live by a set of principles, choosing what is ‘right’.
Ethics lies in doing, values in being & becoming. Ethics, therefore, is nothing but an expression of values.
So, it is imperative that we cultivate values & ethics. When this happens there is a reversal of priorities. In other words:
- Materialism gives way to Humaneness
- Competition is replaced by Co-operation
- Corruption is substituted by Uprightness
- Awareness of Unethicality is converted into Awareness of Ethicality
- Greed is converted into Contentment
- Pressure for Profit transcends into Responsibility to Stakeholders
Let us pledge to imbibe the above attributes and in the process work towards wholesome development.
With best wishes,
Prof. D. P. Chattopadhyay
