Salient features of Ethical Human Conduct
Values: values are the outcome of realization and
understanding which are always definite.
Policy: Having been convinced about the values and about the
inherent harmony in the existence, I am able to develop an
ethical sense in all my pursuits.
I always think we have, and work towards nurturing this
harmony. It leads us to adopt policies conducive human
welfare- conducive to enrichment, protection and right
utilization of mind, body and wealth.
Character: definitiveness of my desire, thought, and
selection, gives definitiveness to my living.
Definitiveness of character is the outcome of the
definiteness of my behaviour and work.
Rightful production, acquisition and utilization
of wealth (sva dhana).
Humane behaviour and work with kindness
(dayapurna karya-vavahar).
Ethical Human Conduct
Ethics: the definitiveness of human conduct in terms of
values, policies and character, is termed as Ethics.
Ethical conduct implies that it is naturally acceptable to
me and does not give rise to conflict within.
Ethical conduct implies that is in consonance with right
understanding of the reality – the underlying harmony
at all levels.
Ethical human conduct is self-satisfying, people friendly
and universal.
Development of human consciousness
As we transform to the human consciousness from right
understanding, we are able to base our thoughts and
activities on right understanding, give relationship a
higher priority than physical facilities, identifying our
physical needs and ensure it through avartansila
production, enriching rest of the nature as well.
Finally, it may be appreciated that life and profession
can not be seen in a segregated manner.
Profession is only a sub set of the activities needed for
our living, therefore , a subset of life.
The ethical human conduct is definite and universal
BASIS FOR THE HOLISTIC ALTERNATIVE
TOWARDS UNIVERSAL HUMAN ORDER
To facilitate the process of right understanding in the
society , to create a favorable environment and to
ensure the continuity of this process in human being
from generation to generation following is required
1. Vision
2. Humanistic Education.
3. Humanistic Constitution
4. Universal human order and its implications
1. Vision for the holistic alternative
A correct appraisal of the comprehensive human goal
welfare and the realization of coexistence at all levels
enable us to visualize and gradually evolve a viable
alternative to the prevailing pattern of human living.
Thus the right understanding prepares us for moving
towards the holistic alternative (Universal Human
Order) which will be sustainable as well as conducive
to fulfill the basic human aspirations for all human
beings.
It will be a mode of living which is self satisfying,
people friendly and eco friendly.
2.Humanistic Education
Humanistic education will incorporate appropriate
integration of values and skills so that human being are able
to understand their physical needs correctly and adopt
suitable techniques and production systems to cater to these
needs in an eco-friendly and people friendly manner.
The humanistic education will facilitate the process of self
exploration which will lead to continuous self evolution of
human being.
It will also enable the realization of once innateness as well as
the universality and definitiveness of ethical human
conduct.
It will also develop the conviction that only value based living
can be conducive to continuous happiness and prosperity for
one and all.
3.Humanistic Constitution
Presently, the human society is divided into various castes,
breeds, religions and nationalities whose objectives and
interests are proving contrary to those of others.
Accordingly a major part of human endeavour is used in
handling those conflicts and contradictions.
Paradoxically, the human beings are spending substantial
part of their energies and resources in preparing
themselves for war, only to ensure peace.
When the parameters of human welfare are universal i.e.
commonly applicable to all human beings, the
humanistic constitution can only alternative for the
fulfillment of human aspiration.
4.Universal human order and its implications
On the basis of the understanding of harmony we get the
notion of an undivided society and universal human
order.
The universal human order will comprise of:
1. The five dimensions of human endeavour towards a
fragmented society.
2. The steps of organization from family to world family,
each anchored in right understanding will integrate in
the following ways:
Family ----> family cluster ---> village/community ------->
village cluster -----> world family.
Activity
Identify any two important problems being faced
by the society today and analyze the root cause of
the problems.
Can these be resolve on the basis of natural
acceptance of human values. If so, how should
one proceed in this direction from the present
situation?
Professional ethics in the light of right understanding
Profession is channel of participation by human beings in
the larger order in pursuance of comprehensive human
goal.
In the process one is able to contribute towards the
livelihood of one’s family and also participate in the
larger order constituting the society and the nature
around.
It is an important activity to authenticate one’s
understanding, whereby we interact with other human
beings and with rest of the nature in a mutually fulfilling
manner.
Thus, the ‘Profession is a Service’.
Competence in Professional Ethics
1. Clarity about the comprehensive human goal: Samadhana -
Samriddhi – Abhaya - Saha-astitva and its fulfillment
through universal human order from family order to world
family.
2. Confidence in oneself as well as confidence in the harmony,
co-existence and self-regulation prevailing in entire existence.
3. Competence of mutually fulfilling behaviour, clarity and
confidence in ethical human conduct and its correlation with
sustainable personal as well as collective happiness and
prosperity.
4. Competence of mutually enriching interaction with nature,
ability to assess the needs for physical facilities for the family
and their fulfillment through production
systems ensuring harmony in the nature.
5. Competence of actualizing one’s understanding in real life.
How Competence in Professional Ethics can be achieved?
The development of ethical competence is a long-term
process to be achieved through appropriate value
education.
As profession is only a subset of the life activities, the
competence in profession will only be the manifestation
of one’s right understanding.
Thus, Competence in Professional Ethics can be achieved
through right understanding
