MUTUAL CONSULTATION

Consultation in one sense is a ‘give and take’ culture. When you discuss an issue with someone, it is not simply a verbal exchange. During a discussion you take something from the other and also give something to the other. Fruitful consultation has two conditions attached to it. One precondition for effective consultation is that both the parties should have open minds. The other condition is that both parties should be ready to accept opinions on their merits and without bias. It can be conducted between the rich and the poor, between seniors and juniors, between the educated and the uneducated, between the young and the old or between men and women. This all-encompassing nature of consultation makes it fruitful to the ultimate extent. o In avoidance of temptation, man shows that he is prudent.
