This document contains four passages in different languages with guidance on living virtuously and making ethical decisions: 1) A passage in Hindi about how desire leads to action and destiny. 2) A passage in Sanskrit about how all of existence is permeated by Brahman and to enjoy things through renunciation, not coveting others' wealth. 3) Advice to consider how decisions will help "the poorest and weakest" as a test when in doubt. 4) Final passages in English on prudent use of public funds and Aristotle's view that anger requires being with the right person, time, purpose and manner.

!["I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or
when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following
test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man
[woman] whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the
step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him [her].
Will he [she] gain anything by it? Will it restore him [her] to
a control over his [her] own life and destiny? In other words,
will it lead to swaraj [freedom] for the hungry and spiritually
starving millions?
Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/noblethoughts-150814135252-lva1-app6892/85/Noble-thoughts-3-320.jpg)

- 4. The expenditure should not prima facie be more than the occasion demand, and every government servant should exercise vigilance in respect of expenditure incurred from public money as a person of ordinary prudence would exercise in respect of the expenditure of his own money. No authority should exercise its powers of sanctioning expenditure to pass an order which will be directly or indirectly to its own advantage. Public money should not be utilized for the benefit of a particular person or section of the community.
- 5. Anyone can become angry-that is easy, but to be angry with right person at the right time, and for the right purpose and in the right way- that is not within everyones power and that is not easy. Aristotle
