to be or not to be!

From the Bhakti List Archives

This is only my personal thinking and not based on any sastras. People may say giving and taking bribe is an offence or PAbham (in our words). But in this practical world, it is bit difficult to avoid giving bribe. We must take this as cost for that work. Who knows in legitimate purchases, the sales tag indicates its correct price? May be the cost of production of that article may be much less but because of demand he may sell it at higher price. We may not know this inner pricing formulae.If we see this in a broader angle, we are paying more money that what it actualy deserves. Does it mean that we are bribing?

May be Baghavan would have given this life to him, only to collect all that is left out in his earlier birth. It is upto HIM to take appropriate action against him. 

The money waht we are paying is the cost of our time, energy, etc. and nothing more need to be read in this. As long as we do not receive money in this way, it is fine !!!!

It is my humble opinion. There may also be different views.
