7 "Sins" according to Gandhi

by garam_kuta Sun Nov 12, 2017 11:32 pm

Wealth Without Work
Pleasure Without Conscience
Knowledge Without Character
Commerce (Business) Without Morality (Ethics)
Science Without Humanity
Religion Without Sacrifice
Politics Without Principle

these got him into trouble with other "leaders" - like ambedkar, tilak, patel, nehru and such...but he remained uncompromising with no concessions.

if one gets wealth without work, e.g. inheritance and one manages it well (funds, rent, etc.), and doesn't squander it (bad habits, lifestyle, business schemes), then that's work.

if pleasure is your religion, then conscience is what you sacrifice, at times bom

if you worry about character, then you don't attain full knowledge, most times. Now how you use that knowledge, that requires a lot of character.

Science without humanity is what made me post it.

of course, diverse semantics give different perspectives.

Semitic religions made pleasure a sin.
In India, pleasure was comprehensive; Victorian Englishmen couldn't comprehend how erotic stuff could be placed on temples.....

Yeah. If humanity replaces dogma (religion), the world will be a better place. If humanity is linked to individuals seeking enlightenment and is periodically updated taking scientific discoveries into account, that will be even better.

Yeah... the development of nukes - that could be the major thrust that must have catalyzed Gandhi saying it, i should think

At that time, several Nobel laureates also wrote to the president not to develop nuclear weapons. Until India detonated the nuclear device, her stated policy is for global nuclear disarmament.

My point in the last post was that humanism is the answer and that if it is updated based on new scientific discoveries, it becomes more rationally based and won't deteriorate into dogma.

Before that, inventions like tanks, warplanes, dynamite, gunpowder, arrows, slingshots, spears, the list goes on...

yeah.. science should give up on nukes and make things that actually HELP humanity.

e.g. allergy free hair dyes!
