Ethics In Profession-Part II
How you will face the challenge will depend upon the type of values the mind cherishes. Hatred, jealousy, greed, passion, lust - if these negative values are in you, the mental energy that you will be spending in facing the problem will be enormous. Suppose I hate you, whenever I meet you in society outwardly I will be acting civilly shaking hands etc but in the mind I will be cursing, planning, thinking how to destroy. My mind will be in turmoil. You, not knowing this are relaxed.
So when I maintain, negative value like hatred a lot of mental energy is spent in meeting even small challenges. Suppose instead of hatred, I cultivate the spirit of forgiveness. After forgiving, my mind is peace full, serene. I eat well, sleep well. I can put all my mind in any work that I am doing; while you who had wronged me you have started regretting.
Thus, if I cultivate love, my mind is peaceful, quiet, alert. The millions of little challenges that I meet can be faced with the bare minimum mental vitality expenditure. The mental wealth is conserved, which can be channelised into a chosen creative field of work.
Economics of the outer wealth you know how to make money, how to find the funds, how to conserve it, how to redirect it and distribute it into creative fields. But you are ignorant and overlook the inner wealth. The inner wealth is your mental and intellectual vitality, a psychic power, I mean by psychic, the mental power.
The mental vitality and poise is the greatest wealth. If that wealth is there the outer wealth may come and go and yet you can make it. But if the inner wealth is dried up you have got a fatigued, exhausted, weakened mind. You cannot then face any challenges even if you have outer wealth in millions, This creative power, the mental vitality, is at this moment carelessly squandered away. One of the channels through which it is squandered is false negative values nourished in the mind.
If however one cultivates positive ethical values, love and kindness, affection and tenderness the consistency of purpose, these will economise the expenditure of mental vitality, conserving it, which can be redirected into creative fields, whatever be the profession.
