Dear all,

I dont know if my question is pertinent to the discussion here. but 
still, i wish to know what the Bhagvad Gita says about it. because i 
have always found answers from the members of this august discussion 
group. I had this experience today of giving bribe in a government 
office to get some work done. if i hadn't i wudnt have been able to 
get the work done. should we stick to DHARMA - righteousness and risk 
losing time,effort and money - in getting something done ? or get 
practical and get the job done by hook or crook ???? just because 
everyone else is doing it - should i too be part of the flock of 
sheep falling into the ditch ? i know it's almost inevitable in many 
cases - but is there any way - i can either console myself that what 
i am doing is right ... because afterall this is kaliyuga ... or do i 
say to myself that come what may - i should stick to righteousness - 
even if the entire world were to go corrupt ??? i'm at crossroads !!
all those people who think that this query is too trivial can ignore 
it. but if anyone has any suggestions - please, i'm all ears to know 
what our scriptures have to say about it .... because for me it is a 
very big doubt !!! Mr. moderator - please let this pass ....
