MAN IS A SLAVE OF HIS OWN ACTS. HIS ULTIMATE AIM IS SUCCESS AND THE SUCCESS LIES IN HIS ETERNAL LIBERATION. The biggest discovery of this universe is a human being himself. Indeed the creator is God and the magic of his creation is breathtaking. Throughout the ages, man has struggled with the subjects of right and wrong and ethics and justice. Why not? For he is the crown of His creations. Since times immemorial, man has involved himself into many philosophies unraveling these subjects and has never solved them in totality. In this context many prophets, philosophers and preachers, with the God’s divine force brought many religions with an idea to teach humanity the code of conduct. Their ultimate and cherished dream was the universal brotherhood. How far did they succeed, results are evident. Other day, on my official visit to Delhi, I was surprised to watch people from different faiths entering into a place designed on the architecture of lotus and sitting in the same row, practicing their respective ways of prayers. For a moment, I felt the universal brotherhood is achieved. I am afraid I may not be misunderstood through these lines by the reader, since I am a man from the Muslim faith. It is beyond any doubt that man is basically good. This means that the basic personality and the basic intentions of the individual towards himself and others are good. When a person finds himself committing too many harmful acts against the prescribed format, he becomes his own executioner. This gives the proof that man is basically good. When he violates his own ethics, he begins to decay. He does this all on his own without anybody else doing anything. It is observed that in absence of an ability to stop him outright, he attempts to put ethics on himself by getting thrown in prison where he will no longer be able to commit crimes. When we speak of ethics we are talking about right and wrong conduct. We are talking about good and evil. To be good, a thing must contain construction which outweighs the destruction, it contains. A new cure which saves a hundred lives and kills one is an acceptable cure. When an act is more destructive than constructive, it is evil. It is out of ethics. To be entirely right would be to survive to infinity and that is only God. Now let us look at our society
