Karma... ethics

What is righteous for me is righteous for others too : This is the first test to know what is ‘Dharma’ and what is ‘Adharma’.

Whatever is good for me, the same is good for others too. And whatever is not good for me is not good for others too. Thereby, whatever I expect that others should do to me, I must also do the same to them. Whatever I expect that others should not do to me, I must also not do the same to the others.

If I expect that others should not cause sorrow to me, I should not cause sorrow to them.

If I expect that others should not steal my property, I should not steal their property.

If I expect that others should not tell lies to me, I should not tell lies to others.

If I expect that others should love to me, I should love others.

Scriptures of all the religions express the opinion that whatever ethics are applicable for an individual, same is applicable to the world.

Do not do to others what you do not what them to do to you.

This is the first lesson in learning ethics.
