The Ethical Complex: Kingdom of Ends; The Four Classes of Society and the Four Orders of Life; The Five Great Sacrifices (Panchamahayajnas); The Duty of Man to Man; The Five Yamas as regulative principles of society. 6. The Compulsive Rationalisation and Moralisation of the need to recognise others as subjects like oneself, by means of social organisation, or what one calls, humanism. 7. The Recognition that the desire to abolish the other is an expression of dependence on the other and one s aloneness is thereby defeated; Insecurity because of the others also being subjects like oneself, who can treat oneself as an object in return and this destroy one s aloneness.

The attribution of al change and process to others alone: The desire to destroy the other by actually consuming as in food, by love as in sex, by satellisation as in exercising power, and by actual destruction in hatred; The desire to abolish the independence of the object by physical or social love, or hatred in the instance of actual annihilation; Love for food, sex, children, relatives, friends, humanity; The desire to be alone for oneself is the reason behind all these attempts, for Consciousness cannot tolerate an object. 11.
