Sayings by: MAHATMA GANDHI
That economics is untrue which ignores or disregards moral values.
Any act of injury done from self-interest, whether amounting to killing or not, is doubtless himsa.
There is sufficient in the word for man’s need but not for man’s greed.
A businessman who lies and cheats his simple minded and ignorant customers cannot hope to be saved.
Business without a morality is a deadly sin.
While one could write not just one, but many books on of all these topics, in this chapter I will touch upon only a selected few. All of the included topics havestrong footprints of himsa; in fact some of them amount to white-collar crime and colossal himsa.
