Summary

This quote, attributed to Mahatma Gandhi, highlights seven aspects of human life that he considered to be sinful when divorced from certain values. Gandhi believed that wealth without work promotes laziness and entitlement, pleasure without conscience leads to unbridled hedonism, knowledge without character encourages deceit and manipulation, commerce without morality prioritizes profit over ethical conduct, science without humility neglects the ethical implications of advancements, worship without sacrifice lacks sincerity and commitment, and politics without principle gives rise to corruption and opportunism. By drawing attention to these vices, Gandhi emphasized the importance of grounding actions and pursuits in moral, humble, and principled values.
