Integrity: Integrity is wholeness, goodness, courage, and self-discipline to live by your inner truth.
Wholeness:Wholeness implies totality, soundness, perfection and completeness. In the West, spirit in Wholeness is given only a slight reference. It is nearly forgotten. In all of ours heart’s chamber lives the unworshipped God. We are not aware of the divine presence within thought the divine is constantly looking at the person. Our ego has become the pretended ruler. Ego is the false notion of our mind, because it is ignorant of the reality.
Goodness: It covers all essential values such as honesty, morality, kindness, fairness, charity, truthfulness, generosity etc. we need goodness in our thoughts, our speeches, and our actions. ‘Be Good. Do Good’ leads to purification of thoughts, talks and actions associated with good thoughts. Good things do not happen easily. You have to make them happen.
Courage: In the world of management, courage points out acts of bravery, e.g. deciding not to conceal something one knows, and needs to be expressed openly. Courage is telling the truth in the face of danger. You have the guts to go ahead, do something which is risky.
Self-discipline: Self-discipline and self-control indicates that the soul is the boss who takes control of the mind and directs the mind and the senses to move on the journey to reach the goal known to the master. When the soul, the individual consciousness, wakes up, we have self-discipline and self-control to deal with life. The quality of life will now be different. That quality of life will give you greater harmony, happiness and moderation. Please remember that we need discipline and courage together to reach our objectives in time.
Living by Inner Truth:Living by inner truth or by inner mind, which is the right instrument within us but which is not known to us unless we go within, may be regarded as the last ingredient of integrity. It is the most important of all.
Inner mind or truth communicates through faint whispers, intuitive thoughts, feeling buried deep within us. Each one of us possesses this fine instrument and has the capacity to call it forth. We need practice to tap this cache. It is rediscovery of one’s subtle but true awareness which generally lies in the secret hiding place. We must turn inwards to interact with our inner mind and live by inner truth as per its adesh or direction. The voice of inner mind can be heard only in silence.
To live by inner truth at work amounts to remain yourself incorruptible, clean and inviolable in this world, which at present is invaded by total crisis oh human and ethical values. In the business world we have kickbacks, double dealings, shady behavior and all forms of corruption and fraudulent dealings. Corruption is world-wide. Let your mind be ruled and guided by your Conscience.
