Krishna advices the Pandavas in Mahabharta that no action can be perfect and absolute in an ever-changing dynamic world and hence he nonchalantly advocates them to keep the overall ethical standards in view and then act according to the contingency of the situation which may necessitate temporary deviation from strict ethical standards.

For example, Krishna prevails upon Yudhisthira, who never lied, to lie to psychologically harass and depress Dronacharya. From the absolute moralistic standpoint, such a lie may be considered immoral and unethical. But as long as such lies contributed to a desirable final outcome and public good - it was acceptable. So the greatest challenge for the modern corporate leader is the fine-tuning of these responses keeping in mind the ethical and legal issues but without compromising corporate interests, like Krishna in Mahabharata

hilighted part is the key here. If it is only helping the Corporate and actually hurting the public and investors, it is not right....a la Enron

lolz my obsessions are magnificent ones and do not engulf a mere city .... NY sucks these days anyway and mumbai is not the mumbai i left back a few years ago . the analogy was digressed upon but no matter . i was drawing a subtle similarity to the not too immediate after effects from consuming quality vodka like the stoli or a smirnoff and really fresh feni straight from my guy in margao ( mudgao as they call it there) where we have family still and partake of this portuguese implanted wonderful potion and savour the sumptuous coconut laden zinga currry with slightly burnt naan only the goans know how to make yaar .. might i go on and on ? tee hee hee😆

Come-on now, don't even think about saying anything about Mumbai... Not in writing I can prove in practicality its the best place to live and enjoy... I thought u were in Rome and sudden shift to NYC.. lols..

Is the lingo u use influenced by NYC's or Rome.... it takes time and thoughts to understand it in the right perspective 😆

With all the power-cuts going on I don't think you'll be able to prove that.😔

👏👏 Thanks ashu for sharing. I concur with that.
Anshu, about your 1st point -
I don't think one can even comprehend the karma-pay offs. Those include seemingly trivial but priceless things such as
1. the right people in your life, right company
2. the right friends and support at the right time,
3. the good looking guy/ gorgeous gal who shared a glance & had a twinkle in their eyes for you on public transport and how that boosted your ego after a hard crappy day at work that made you feel hurt,
4. the 20 dollar bill that your found in an old winter coat
5. your pet giving your feet that extra-special lick massage when all you need is someone to care...

Satyameva jayate is neither guaranteed in kaliyuga, nor something every one can practice easily in times of today. Moreover, as Ashu posted, "Satya" is hard to comprehend. One should at any cost know that you don't compromise your karma count while modulating satya !
Great topic Anshu! 👏 and i noticed some of the city-related posts over the thread 😳.. I think Mumbai Rocks and so does New York! It is the people that make them such cities with character! People that stand in the face of adversity and fight as one!

It is not necessary to always blab truth too. In fact calling a blind man €˜Andha€™ is insensitive.

About €˜Do your karma and not worry about fruits€™. I would interpret it as €˜Keep trying unless you succeed€™. Here fruits is result and probably bad. So instead of getting dejected and stopping at first failure, try again.

👏👏👏 wow maya! new spin with keep on trying..
