JAIN SCRIPTURES ON BUSINESS ETHICS
Dt. 08-11-1979
the greatest crime between man and man. According to Hemachandra, a business magnate is asked not to dominate over the small scale traders. Both the supplier and buyer trying to gain as sky rocketing prices would prove harmful to the trade and the consumer.
When man becomes enslaved by the uncontrollable forces of desire, he resorts to unscrupulous means to get them fulfilled. Such dishonest ways may fetch instantaneous results but he is bound to falter within a few years. Any unlawful, unjustifiable and illegal activity would never last long and one who commits them can never hope to escape from the clutches of moral and other laws. He would fade away like fallen flowers and would be shunned by the public. Even friendship with such an evil element, perhaps for the lure of the lucre, is asked to be snapped. A society of honest persons is a paradise on earth.
Muni Shri Rajyashvijayaji said the employee should remain faithful to his master and never violate the agreement entered into between them. Wages should be on par with the nature of the workintellectual or physical.
Little pains do not find solutions
but Great pains inspire finding of the new Path.
In his discourse at 99, Mint Street, Muni Shri Rajyashvijayaji dwelt on the emphasis laid on "Honesty" in the two Jain scriptures, "Yoga Shastra of Acharya Hemachandra" and "Dharma Sangraha". The former has prescribed elaborate rules for the conduct of honest business for the traders. One of the guidelines insists that the goods supplied should never be inferior in quality than the promised material. Adulteration has been labelled
Knowldge is neither right nor wrong, but it depends on our point of view
which makes it right or wrong.
This world is full of Advisors,
Helpers are few.
