| What distinction does professional ethics make in a profession? | the desirable and undesirable acts in a profession. | If the legal framework alone could direct human behaviour and the decision-making process, there would be no need for values and ethics to exist in an organizational reference. Being legal is a minimum requirement; however, it is not sufficient. Law is the base and plinth of organizational activities but we need to build a structure over it. Not being illegal for fear of punishment is the coarse level of human existence. It is always preferable to follow the law in spirit and not merely in words. Beyond the world of legality, there is the open sky of ethics and values where human operations are directed to make the world more prosperous, full of equity and justice, and charged with either an aesthetic sense or happiness. Professional ethics differentiates between the desirable and undesirable acts in a profession. | 774 | definition | 1.000 | https://www.ugc.gov.in/pdfnews/8799370_Mulya-Parvah_Guideline.pdf | Professional ethics differentiates between the desirable and undesirable acts in a profession. | 14 | page=14,block=0 | 0.700 |

| What does the concept of bhoga combined with tyaga bhava represent? | enjoyment but with an attitude of detachment, not overwhelmed by greed and insatiable desire | we must enjoy it with tyaga bhava (a sense of renunciation), and act with detachment without being consumed by greed. In other words, karma or action, is the foundation of human life. The two terms, tyaga (renunciation) and bhoga (consumption or enjoyment) may appear to be contradictory but are not so. Bhoga with tyaga bhava (enjoyment but with an attitude of detachment, not overwhelmed by greed and insatiable desire) completes the integration. Gautama Buddha renounced a life of extreme comfort in a palace to seek answers to the pertinent questions for himself and others. It is said that he attained enlightenment after years of dhyana (meditation) and tapah (ascetic practice before starting to preach and pass on the knowledge that he had acquired, to others). | 328 | definition | 1.000 | https://www.ugc.gov.in/pdfnews/8799370_Mulya-Parvah_Guideline.pdf | Bhoga with tyaga bhava (enjoyment but with an attitude of detachment, not overwhelmed by greed and insatiable desire) completes the integration. | 11 | page=11,block=3 |
