Dare to Dream...

By Dr Desh Raj Sirswal. Wednesday, 19. January, 16:15

You may get a lot of negative feedback from others, and so much happens in life to block the road you wish to travel. But you must dream anyway and cherish your dreams as they come from your soul and are the blueprint of who you are. What's more, they represent the direction you should take on earth. Let your heart set your goals and remain dedicated to them.

What is real Love?

By Dr Desh Raj Sirswal. Friday, 21. January, 14:00

Ek Chidiya ko ek safed Gulab se pyar ho gaya. Usne Gulab se apne pyar ka izhar kiya. Gulab ne jawab diya k, jis din main lal ho jaunga, us din tum se pyar karunga. Jawab sunke Chidiya Gulab ke, aas pas kanto me lotne lagi or uske khoon se, Gulab lal ho gaya. Ye dekh gulab ne bhi, us se kaha ki wo us se pyar karta h. Par tab tak, Chidiya mar chuki thi. DONT PUT CONDITIONS IN LOVE. ACCEPT IT IN ITSELF TRUE.

Leave Some Mark Behind

By Dr Desh Raj Sirswal. Saturday, 22. January, 13:31

Get up and set your shoulder to the week-how long is this life for? As you have come into this world leave some mark behind: otherwise where is the difference between you and the trees and the stones ? (Swami Vivekanand in WISDOM, January 2004, p.73)

And Miles to Go

By Dr Desh Raj Sirswal. Sunday, 23. January, 15:18

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

-Robert Frost

If you would...

By Dr Desh Raj Sirswal. Tuesday, 25. January, 13:06

If you would have it so, I will end my singing. If it suddenly startle you in your walk, I will step aside and take another path. If it confuses you in your flower weaving, I will leave your lonely garden. If it makes the wanton and wild, I will not row my boat by your bank. (Rabindernath Tagore, Geetanjali)

Heaven of Freedom

By Dr Desh Raj Sirswal. Wednesday, 26. January, 14:12

Today is Republic Day in India. On this occassion one poem is posted here.

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held: Where knowledge is free: Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic wall: Where words come out from the depth of truth: Where tireless striving stretches its arms toward perfection. Where clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary sand of dead habit: Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action- Into that heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake. (Rabindranath Tagore)

Value of Happiness

Sunday, 30. January, 17:14

Man always thinks about happiness and it can be possible with self-satisfaction. When man gets a mental state of completeness, then he will be empowered with happiness. So try always to be complete in all respect whether it will be physical, mental, spiritual, religion or social.

Boy's family has to love girl. Girl's family has to love boy's family. Boy's family has to love girl's family. Girl and boy still love each other. They get married. (Chetan Bhagat in 2 STATES).

Yes dear. i like this person most.

Emmanuel Olawale Robyns # 3. February 2011, 20:06

Love is a matter of GIVE and TAKE and reciprocities in all its ramification. Both parties must submit the indeed passion to love each other unlopsided. Whereby one party failed to exhibit the average required love to uphold the conjugal status, such marriage will be selfish, unconcerned and inhospitable. To be successful in Marriage. The parents of both parties must be happy and readily undo any grudge probably on ground seeing themselves as one flesh

PROFESSIONAL ETHICS AND MORALITY

Desh Raj Sirswal, Project Fellow,
Centre for Sri Aurobindo Studies, Ambala City.

Introduction

“We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount. The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants.”
- Omar Bradley (Major General of the Army, USAFR)

Meaning of Professional Ethics

Professional Ethics is partly comprised of what a professional should or should not do in the work -place. It also encompasses a much greater part of the professional’s life. If a professional is to have ethics then that person needs to adopt that conduct in all of his dealings. Another aspect of this is the enhancement of the profession and the industry within which the professional works.

Use of the word “Morality”

The term “morality” can be used either (1) descriptively to refer to a code of conduct put forward by a society or, (a) some other group, such as a religion, or (b) accepted by an individual for his/her own behavior, (2) normatively to refer to a code of conduct that, given specified conditions, would be put forward by all rational persons.

Definition of Morality

“Morality is an informal public system applying to all rational persons, governing behavior that affects others, and has the lessening of evil or harm as its goal.”

Ethics in different Professions

All persons, whether in business, government, educational institutes, or any other professions are concerned with ethics. Encyclopedia of Social Sciences defines ethics as “the organization or criticism of conduct in terms of notions like, good, right or welfare… Ethics is the secular and critical manner of taking account of the rationalizing process in human conduct. Its temper is non-mystical, and its orientation is social rather than theological.”

Implementation of Ethical Codes in Organizations

Theodore Parcel and James Weber suggest that this can be accomplished in three ways:

n by establishing appropriate company policy or a code of ethics.
n by using a formally appointed ethics committee.
n by teaching ethics in management development programmes.

The most common way to institutionalize ethics is to establish a code of ethics; much less common is the use of ethics board committees.

Difference between Professional Ethics and Morality

Morals or moral values are generally associated with personal view of values. Which reflect beliefs relating to sex, drinking, gambling, etc. They can reflect the influence of religion, culture, family and friends. Ethics is concerned with how a moral person should behave. Ethical values are beliefs concerning what is morally right and proper as opposed to what is simply correct or effective.

Code of Professional Ethics
A Code is a statement of policies, principles or rules that guide behaviour. Certainly, codes of ethics do not apply only to business enterprises, but they should guide the behaviour of persons in all organizations and in every life, so that we named it “Professional Ethics”. In the present time, every profession has its own codes, to practise by their professionals.

Example
For example, The Psychological Society of Ireland consists four overall ethical principles, in their code, which subsume a large number of specific ethical standards. These are given below:

Principle 1: Respect for the rights and dignity of the person
Principle 2: Competence
Principle 3: Responsibility
Principle 4. Integrity

The Future of Professional Ethics
Computer Societies around the world such as the IEEE and national bodies in Australia, Singapore, the UK and other countries have on their websites professional codes of ethics to consider and adopt in the way professionals conduct themselves in and out of the work place. Personal ethics, morality, and integrity will strongly influence a person’s professional ethical conduct. Integrity means wholeness or completeness—continuity of life in all its actions. We must not delude ourselves or the people we lead by thinking that we can practice conduct.

Conclusion
This paper may conclude with some ancient sayings which reflect the previous discussion of Professional Ethics and Morality in the present time: “When one sees all beings in his own self and his own Self in all beings, one loses all fear।” “When one sees this great Unity and the self has become all beings, no sorrow can afflict him.” (Isha Upanishad).
