"Bribery: a corrosive practice undermining fairness, trust, and organised system. Yet, the decision to participate often isn't abstract, landing squarely on the shoulders of someone caught between "moral principle" and "perceived necessity". Here is our insight on this matter.
★ BRIBE: To give or Not to give? ★
Q: I need a job... i am told that if i want to keep this job, i need to pay them a bribe & there is no other way... it is a conflict between my mind & heart... Should i pay bribe? Is it morally right? What should i do?
The Response
Mukesh, i understand the situation..
🍁So in one hand, you have to secure a job... but in order to do so, you need to pay money (as a 'bribe') which is against your spiritual & moral principles >>which is true, because paying money for something like this, is just as encouraging dishonesty and injustice in the society... and indirectly becoming a part of that.
🍎So i would first suggest you to see for the available OPTIONS you have in hand >> see if you can keep this job without paying a bribe... if that is possible, please THINK and look for that options.
Other Ways: For example: See if you can talk to the supervisors, the manager/director of the company and report them about this matter... or perhaps you can rather try to convince them to give you this job on basis on your merits... if both of this does not work, consider "reporting to the local police" and ask them to inspect the matter.
🌻Look—if all you want is to get this job, then most probably, the only way may be just to first give the bribe... and then see if you can get the money back from them by 'reporting' the matter to your supervisor, head of department, managing director, etc.
------------------
IF NOT >> then think about WHY i need this job?
➤if you need this job to sustain your family, pay bills, etc (which cannot be avoided), then we recommend you to pay the bribe & keep the job (because keeping the job is more important for you in this given case)
and
➤if you 'do not' need this job that badly, then listen to your heart and 'do not' pay the bribe at first place... and leave.
Whether you should or should not give bribe depends on your situation >> whether how important the job is for you & your family.
Your DHARMA is to make sure that your intention is pure and you only wish to keep the job so as to take care of your family.
But ultimately, it is YOU who would decide... as DHARMA is unique to every human being... All of us may individually decide on what is right for me to do >> What is right for me to do, may not be the best for you to do... understand?
Thus, my dharma is to give you 'clairty' and 'show you the right way to think'.
