Overview

Excerpt from The Hindu System of Moral Science IT has become the custom with the scholars of the West now-a-days, to extol highly the meta physics Of India. But at the same time they never forget to proclaim that her philosophy had never had the idea of considering ethics as a science independently - nay, that it had taught, at times, the idea that the state of super-conscious ness could be realised without even the attainment in life of a high ethical standard. An unbiased examination of the scriptures however, makes the matter appear in atotally different light. The elaborate consideration of the sas - the Sattwa, the Rajas, and the T amas - in them and of the effect of their influence on the subject and the Object alike, in the internal as well as in the external world, points clearly to the fact that their teaching had always been to the effect that the going beyond law could only be had through a faithful fulfilment of the ethical laws and that far from ignoring the ethical standard they had always given ethics and its practical application to human conduct, in every minute detail, their first and foremost consideration.
