"The Doctrine of Ethics"

by Dr. K. Parvathi Kumar

Ethics are the need of the present times. In truth, ethics have an eternal value in human activity. Ethics need to be studied and understood from their force aspect and not for their moral, religious or spiritual value. Ethics help transference of the Soul from self-centred emotional nature (solar plexus) to harmonising rhythm of life (Heart Centre).

This Doctrine of Ethics is for the parents who wish to guide their children.

The tongue that does not:
Utter words of good will,
Invoke light and
Express brotherliness
is no better than leather.

Meaningful life
is preferable to long life.

- 13 -

Good results do not
follow bad means.
Gold does not result
from melting brass.

Approach not:
The horse that is drinking water,
The elephant that is ferocious,
The bull charging towards the cow
and the man that is ignorant.

To help a helper
is mediocrity
To help a non-helper
is Divinity.

Tasty food can be sickly
in the long run.
Hasty friendship can be prickly
in due course.

The skilful one accommodates
the other's view point
and wins friends
in the world.

Do not associate with
Men of ill will.
It's like living under
the shade of the serpent.

Power and money
attract people.
The water in the lake
attracts frogs.
Realize the unfriendly.

Select not unripe fruits.
Ridicule not the relatives.
Retreat not from crises.
Transgress not the commandments
of the Teacher.
