The Khasi word "hok" can be understood as honesty, righteousness and being just and trustworthy. A person who is marked by dignity and integrity, arising from the firm grounding of principles and values. "Kamai Ïa Ka Hok' is one of three Khasi precepts (the others being "Tip Briew Tip Blei and Tip Kur Tip Kha") that emphasises on living with integrity or to elaborate, a clear conscience. This integrity and clear conscience is had by the act of earning with the word "kamai". Thus, man has to earn and reap dignity, integrity and a clear conscience through his day to day life, his words and actions towards others. This conscious effort will cause the earning of a life of purpose, free from the stress or guilt of any wrong doing.
