📕 Book Summary

This week's book is “The Moral Compass” by Hardayal Singh

Often in our lives, we come across situations where we have to make tough decisions. Now and then, life brings us to crossroads where we are stuck in dilemmas. But sometimes the stakes are so high that our values and ethics take a back seat over convenience and instant gratification. and Most of the decisions made in the face of comfort lead us to future regret and failure.

The Moral Compass delves into these situations and explains why humans react in such a manner under those situations. Through 17 Stories Hardayal Singh addresses the central problem of how to live our lives in an examined way. Whether it's about Ram Prasad who is stuck in a dilemma between staying firm to his values and hiring the wrong person, just for the sake of the company or a doctor who chooses the wrong method just to save the life of his master, every story deals with a moral situation or a moral dilemma.

Taking together the stories hold a mirror to our lives, and drawing from spirituality, philosophy, psychology, and decades of the author's experience in making critical decision-making, This book will help you find balance in your life and your own moral Compass.

Here are 5 valuable insights from the book

  1. If you want it. work for it: Every acorn does not grow into an oak tree. Similarly, all the faculties of goodness lie inside all of us. But their full potential has to be realized. “If you want it. work for it: create the necessary conditions, you will not get it without effort.”

  2. We are all sailing in the same boat: To be humble means that we recognize that as human beings we are fallible and can make mistakes. This realization helps us to see that we are all sailing in the same boat. It also helps us to become more tolerant of others’ mistakes. 

  3. What you do not want to be done to yourself, do not do to others: The sun shines equally on all; on a hot summer night, the moon provides cool comfort to everyone; a tree gives shade equally to every traveler. It is our weakness that we distinguish between people according to our prejudices. “What you do not want to be done to yourself, do not do to others”

  4. You receive what you put out: Good things may take time or things may even appear to go the opposite of our wishes, But, someday, you’re going to receive what you put out there. 

  5. Become aware: A person who is aware of their own imperfections will be less liable to blame others for theirs.
