Sir,
What is the purpose of remarking the poor language of Mr Rajaram. He has many
followers who makes up from the rubbish presentation he makes.
He has written "end justify the means". If I write so, I am first standard. If
he write so, he is U P S C selected IRS. Have you seen such poor language with
any IAS/IPS/IRS officers?
If I correct the "Goal justifies the path"- I am not appreciated because I am
only departmentally promoted ITS. Some of our members find a lot of difference
between ITS and IRS.
"MAHABHARATHAM IS WELL DEFINED THROUGH Smd Bhagavat Gita whose prints are in
many languages written by many world scholars"
No body can make out what he means? Bhagavat Gita is a chapter in it. How it's
prints in many languages written by many world scholars? Probably he means
translated.
If I point out I am illiterate. There are members who justify- IRS officers
language will be like that. Others have to make out. They will never appreciate
a promoted ITS above this IRS. Bad period. There are a lot of blind followers
for Mr Rajaram. In Tamil "amam, amam, amam" chamies
ROADS APLENTY BUT THE DESTINATION IS ONLY ONE SPOT."
Again the hurried Mr Rajaram does not read back, probably he means roads are
plenty. If I correct destination is only one, I am illiterate.

Immanuel Kant, a prominent18th-century philosopher, formulated one of the most
influential ethicaltheories in the history of Western philosophy. Central to
his ethical theory isthe "Categorical Imperative," which he articulated in his
seminalwork, Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals. One of the most
famousformulations of the Categorical Imperative is: "Act only according to
thatmaxim whereby you can, at the same time, will that it should become a
universallaw." This principle serves as a cornerstone for Kantian
ethics,emphasizing the importance of universalizability, rationality, and moral
duty.
What is that “The Principle of Universalizability:At its core, Kant's
maxim instructs individuals to actonly on principles that could be universally
applied. A maxim, inKantian terms, is a subjective principle of action,
essentially a rule thatguides one's behaviour. To determine whether a maxim can
become a universallaw, one must ask: "Can I consistently will that everyone
follows thisrule without contradiction?" A QUESTION WHERE THE PRINCIPLE FOR
THEUNIVERSALITY IS CHAINED. Tiruvalluar said, ULAGAM PAZHITHATHU OZHITHU VIDIN;
ANUNIVERSAL FACTOR; ALL THE 100%? Where we ai, for the sky, we stay atleast,
ontop of the earth; wishing to spread the net far and wide; but majority is
theapplication, where it might change the 49% from immediate to some time
laterperiods. The Vedas say Santana dharma the way of life is universal and do
coverthe vishwam, the universe, as, phrase is found all over, unlike the
religionsof the world, only for the followers; hence it is apaurusheya; there
is no onebook and one founder.
And when it was in vogue, there were only aBharatha varsha the entire
earth. That principle (Kant has high respect for theHinduism) dharmic was not,
today fallowed by majority; still it is 3rdin Rank; It was Rank one only; then
II and now III. Still no other religionother than Buddhism and way of life
Hinduism, were much discussed, volumes werewritten. In so many languages. There
is single yoga to live; so whosoever likeswhatsoever yoga can be adopted; can
be inside the ring or outside the ring; nayleave out freely and re-enter. As a
western philosopher commented, in Indiamajority of Hindus, why even 99% do not
have any book of this faculty exceptsome CDs, and stotras; yet it nurtured then
with fantasy, Kant says only thatkind of action with freedom. Without books a
way of life expanded; only 2% to 5%memorised it in parts; still all the
available materials, broad casts thescience for the earth. PRINCIPE OF
UNIVERSALITY.
For instance, consider the maxim,"It is acceptable to lie to achieve
personal gain." If everyoneadopted this rule, trust and communication would
break down, making the veryact of lying self-defeating. Thus, this maxim fails
the test of universalizabilityand cannot be morally acceptable. Conversely, a
maxim like "One shouldkeep promises" can be universally willed without
contradiction, as itsupports a foundation of trust and reliability essential
for societal functioning.So Hinduism in Sanskrit and Tirukkural in Tamil, said
as A LIE AS IF THE TRUTH;ONE MUST NOT LIE 100%; BUT ASWATTAMA HATHA KUNJARA: IS
NOT BAD OR IRRELEVANT.Satyan vadha is fundamental; but may bend a little for
the maintenance ofdharma. Principle of the universality.
Kantian ethics places a strongemphasis on rationality and autonomy.
Rational agents, according to Kant, arecapable of recognizing and acting upon
universal moral laws. This capacity forrationality distinguishes moral actions
from mere inclinations or desires. Byacting according to maxims that can be
universalized, individuals exercisetheir rational autonomy, respecting
themselves and others as ends in themselvesrather than as means to an end.
Neverbending the dharma; altering the way of life according to the needs,
within thefour walls of the sanathana Dharma. I kill men and animals, and the
action isan act of HIM only and not mine way of life; no sin does occur to
such. Nopunyam also.
For Kant, the moral worth of an actionis determined not by its
consequences but by the intention behind it. Actionsperformed out of a sense of
duty, guided by the Categorical Imperative, possesstrue moral value. This
perspective contrasts sharply with consequentialisttheories like
utilitarianism, which evaluate the morality of actions based ontheir outcomes.
Kant argues that theonly unconditionally good thing is a "good will"—the
resolve to actaccording to moral principles for their own sake. When
individuals act fromduty, motivated by respect for the moral law, they embody
the good will. This intrinsicmotivation ensures that actions are morally
praiseworthy, regardless of theirexternal results. THE END JUSTIFY THEMEANS;
MAHABHARATHAM IS WELL DEFINED THROUGH Smd Bhagavat Gita whose prints arein many
languages written by many world scholars; Bible one book has same mediafound
all over the earth, even free in hotels free; but B G ranking second in
multi-scopes,adopted universally with the enlarged interpretations. NOT FORCED
INTO ONLY ONEGROOVE; ROADS APLENTY BUT THE DESTINATION IS ONLY ONE SPOT.
Applying the Categorical Imperativeinvolves scrutinizing one's maxims
and considering their universalizability.This process can guide moral
decision-making in various contexts, from personaldilemmas to broader social
policies. For example, in business ethics, a companymight evaluate its
practices by asking whether they could be adopteduniversally without
undermining ethical standards or societal well-being. However, Kant's
deontological approach hasfaced criticisms. Some argue that its rigidity and
lack of consideration forconsequences can lead to morally questionable
outcomes. For instance, strictadherence to the duty not to lie might compel one
to tell the truth insituations where it could cause harm. Critics also question
whether all moralprinciples can be neatly universalized, given the complexity
and diversity ofhuman experiences.
Kant's maxim, "Act only according tothat maxim whereby you can, at the
same time, will that it should become auniversal law," encapsulates a profound
and rigorous approach to ethics.It challenges individuals to evaluate their
actions through the lens ofuniversalizability, emphasizing rationality,
autonomy, and moral duty. Whilenot without its criticisms, Kantian ethics
offers a compelling framework forunderstanding and pursuing moral behaviour,
underscoring the timelessimportance of acting with integrity and respect for
the moral law. And peopleknew better.

In the above Quote Mr. Kant encourages all actions that could be universally
applied, promoting ethical consistency in living life.
