Multifaceted symbiotic philosophy of ..... : 63 usability is natural and their depletion is unnatural. Yoga means augmentation of resources and generation of newer and newer resources. This is what is meant by sustainable development. Environmental stewardship and eco-friendliness is a part of this strategy. But real ecology is mental ecology as it is the mind which generates good or perverted human endeavour. A symbiosis of s'ama and s'rama is called for here. This is professional ethics or ethics in production. It is an efficient management of end, means and modalities. After production comes distribution and use. For this the guiding principles are asteya and aparigraha. Fair and just distribution and legitimate use or enjoyment both are needed for intra-generational and inter-generational justice. The policy of corporate living, of caring and sharing, implies that we have to care for the present generation as well as for the future generations to come. But ultimately all human endeavours and enterprises should be a means to and directed towards the realization of cosmic wellbeing which is the summum bonum of life. It is a state of freedom in which infinitude of the self is restored. Here also sama, s’ama and s'rama have relevance. So puruşārtha is needed here. All individual selves in their pure form share the four infinite virtues. But in empirical state they differ from one another. These distinctions are due to beginning-less subtle material coverings known as karma. It has physical and psychical aspects known as dravya karma and bhāva karma respectively. Though of varied nature karma has been broadly classified into eight types13. They are
1. Knowledge-obscuring—(jñānāvaranīya) 2. Intuition-obscuring—(Darsanāvaranīya) 3. Feeling-producing (Vedanīya) 4. Delusion-producing—(Mohanīya) 5. Longevity-determining-(Ayu) 6. Body-making—(Nāma) 7. Status-determining—(Gotra), and 8. Obstruction-generating—(Antarāya)
