In 63 years of Indian Independence we have seen and heard of so many Scams but the last two years were worst on that part. Each night you watch news channel you will find likes of Arnab Goswami with a new EXPOSE .The question is what’s wrong with psyche and value system of such Indian people ? when you see our politicians living like a King but still get themselves involved in Scams, when you see IAS and IPS officers, Judges who earn quite a handsome money get themselves involved in corruption cases for more money, then what comes into your mind ? India is one of the most corrupt country in the World Is it avoidable ? Few years back I read in a book about two tests to check your value System .I think these two tests can help a person to abstain form immoral works .
The first and main test is called the Mama (Mother) Test. Whenever you are doing, whatever you are doing wherever and with whomever, at home or at work, alone or with someone, if values are in question and you are confused,on moral ground ask yourself "If my mama were to see me doing what I am doing right now,would she be proud of me and say " Wow , What a boy! " or would she hang her head in shame? " Your values would be clarified rather quickly. If you passed the Mama Test and failed all other tests, you have passed. If you failed the Mama Test and passed all other tests,you have failed.This is worth repeating.Think about it.
The Second Test is called the Baba Test. Whenever you are doing, whatever you are doing, wherever and with whomever, at home or at work,alone or with someone, if values are in question, ask yourself, "If my children were to see me doing what I am doing right now, would I want them to see it, or would I be embarrassed?" Again the clouds will clear rather quickly and you will get your answers.
Think once about these tests and try to implement , It has worked for me many times and I wish if likes of A.Raja and Kalmadi could have applied these tests on themselves before looting us. If these two tests don't clarify a person's values, then that person is no longer a humanbeing and has no conscience left.
