Universal Human Values

Holistic Development and The Role of Education

Process

Whatever is said is a Proposal (Do not assume it to be true or false) Verify it on Your
Own Right – on the basis of your Natural Acceptance

It is a process of Dialogue
A dialogue between me and you, to start with
It soon becomes a dialogue within your own self
between what you are and what you really want to be (your natural
acceptance)
The purpose of this session is to initiate this internal dialogue
Workshop/Course Content Process

(about harmony at various levels
for your self-exploration)
Desired Achievement
- Harmony in Human Being
Individual Transformation
- Harmony in Family – Right Understanding
- Harmony in Society (Understanding Harmony)
- Harmony in Nature/Existence – Happiness & Prosperity

What We Really Want to Be

Do we want to be happy?

Do we want to be prosperous?

Do we want the continuity of

happiness and prosperity?
What We Really Want to Be What We Are
Do we want to be happy? Are we happy?

Do we want to be prosperous? Are we prosperous?

Do we want the continuity of happiness and Is there continuity of our happiness and
prosperity? prosperity?

Why this gap?

- between what we really want to be and what we are

What are we doing to fill this gap? Is it getting filled up or getting wider?

We will explore into this

What We Really Want to Be Effort
Do we want to be happy? Is our effort :
– To understand the true meaning of
happiness and prosperity and ensure it?
Do we want to be prosperous?
– or
– Just for accumulation of physical facility?
Do we want the continuity of happiness and
prosperity?

Have we assumed that happiness and prosperity will be ensured

when we have enough physical facility?

What effort are we making, other than accumulation of physical facility?

Physical Facility is Necessary…
When an animal has lack of physical facility it becomes uncomfortable, when it gets physical
facility it becomes comfortable
Eg. When a cow gets a stomach-full of grass, it becomes comfortable, sits and chews the cud

When a human being has lack of physical facility, he becomes uncomfortable and unhappy
But once he gets the physical facility, he forgets about it and starts thinking about hundred other
things

(Check for yourself if you feel happy every day that you are getting enough to eat?)
Something more is required (over and above physical facility)
Physical facility is necessary for human being
but
something more is also required
Basic Human Aspiration
Basic Human Aspiration
= Happiness and Prosperity  Continuous

Happiness
= To be in a state of Harmony

Prosperity
= The feeling of having more than required Physical Facility
Some Prevailing Notions related to Prosperity
 Accumulation of Wealth = Prosperity?

 The richer you are, the more prosperous you are, i.e. the more you have accumulated, the
more prosperous you are
Some Prevailing Notions of Happiness
Owning / accumulating physical facility
Physical facility is required, but it alone does not suffice for human being
Dependence on physical facility, can’t be continuous

Pleasure (from favourable sensation)

Sound, Touch, Form, Taste, Smell – Through the Body
Dependence on sensation, can’t be continuous

Attention, appreciation… (favourable feelings) from others

Dependence on the other, can’t be continuous

Sometimes “happiness” i.e. excitement…

Sometimes “unhappiness” i.e. depression…
To find out what else is required (over and above physical facility)
Check: Is the unhappiness in our families
 More due to lack of physical facility or
 More due to lack of fulfillment in relationship?
To find out what else is required (over and above physical facility)
How much time and effort are we investing:
 For physical facility
 For fulfillment in relationship

The unhappiness is more due to lack of fulfillment in relationship

Most of the time and effort is spent for physical facility
For Human Being, Relationship is also Necessary
For human being physical facility is necessary but relationship is also necessary

On examining carefully, we find that this is a fundamental difference between animals and
human being

Physical facility is necessary for animals and necessary for human being also

However,
For animals physical facility is necessary as well as largely adequate

For human being physical facility is necessary but not adequate

In Addition to Physical Facility, Relationship is Necessary for Human Being

For human beings physical facility is necessary but relationship is also necessary

For animals:
necessary & largely
adequate
RELATIONSHIP PHYSICAL FACILITY
with human being With nature
For human beings:
necessary but not
adequate
Although we have Recognised the need for Relationship…
We do get into arguments, opposition and fights… even in the family, with close friends, with
colleagues at work… in the marketplace…

Every time we have a fight, we want to resolve it…

We say sorry, patch up and promise not to fight in future but…

Even though we don’t want to, a fight does take place once again
(we want the other to improve… and the other wants us to improve…)

Is this happening?
Are incidences of reaction… not speaking to the other… arguments… debates… divorce…
increasing or decreasing?
Explore your close relationships – in the family, with friends, in the workplace, in the society

In spite of our acceptance for relationship, why is it happening?

Let’s check our Perspective about Relationship
Let us find out if
1. We want to live in relationship (harmony) with others or
2. We want to live in opposition with others or
3. We believe living has to be necessarily in opposition with others, i.e. There is 'struggle for
survival' , ‘survival of the fittest’ and check if we feel happy living this way?

‘struggle for survival’, ‘survival of the fittest’

What is our present perspective? Which view do we promote?

(at home, in the family… in schools and colleges… and in the society)

Is it the naturally acceptable view?

Right Understanding is also Essential for Human Being
For fulfilment in relationship, it is necessary to have right understanding about relationship

i.e. Right understanding is also necessary for human being

With right understanding:

 We have clarity about relationship with human being; we are able to fulfil relationship
 We also have clarity about how much physical facility we need
Human Consciousness

Depriving others
Animals living with they are in harmony this is fine
animal consciousness

Human being living with they are in harmony this is fine

human consciousness

Human being living with they are in disharmony this is the

animal consciousness problem
Since we generally don’t have clarity about our physical needs…
In the society, we can observe two categories of human beings
1. Lacking physical facility, unhappy deprived

2. Having physical facility, unhappy deprived

While we want to be –

3. Having physical facility, happy prosperous

Find out
 Where are we now – at 1, 2 or 3 and
 Where do we want to be?
Role of Education-Sanskar: To Enable Transformation
Holistic development is transformation to Human Consciousness

The role of education-sanskar is to enable this transformation by way of ensuring the

development of the competence to live with human consciousness and definite human
conduct

For this, it has to ensure

1. Right understanding in every child
2. The capacity to live in relationship with the other human being
3. The capacity to identify the need of physical facility,
the skills and practice for sustainable production of more than what is required – leading to
the feeling of prosperity
Required for Transformation Present State?
1. Right understanding in every child Missing
2. The capacity to live in relationship with
the other human being Missing

3. The capacity to identify the need of

physical facility,
the skills and practice for sustainable Identification of need of physical facility is
production of more than what is required missing.
right utilisation of physical facility The willingness to produce by way of labour
leading to the feeling of prosperity is also missing
The right utilization is also largely missing
The core feeling generated is
to accumulate more & more,
to consume more & more,
(rather than to produce what is required
and utilize it rightly…)

Are these needs are of different types or of same type?

Are both types of needs important / Do we want fulfillment of both types of needs?

Are we working to fulfill both types of needs?

Right Feeling

The needs of the Body can not be fulfilled by Right Understanding, Right Feelings alone
The needs of the Self can not be fulfilled by Physio-Chemical Things

Both type of needs have to be understood separately

Both type of needs have to be fulfilled separately

In living, what is the priority?

How much time & effort is spent for right understanding & right feelings?
How much time & effort is spent for physical facility?
Sum Up
Human being is the co-existence of Self and Body

Self is consciousness. Its needs are feelings in consciousness (like happiness) and these needs are
fulfilled by activity of consciousness, i.e. Right Understanding and Right Feeling
Body is material. Its needs are material (like food) and these needs are fulfilled by material, i.e. Physio
chemical things

The needs of consciousness can not be fulfilled by material

The needs of material can not be fulfilled by consciousness alone

State of Imagination – Random and Disorganised
If the imagination is random and disorganised
It indicates a state of confusion

Many of these imaginations may be

contrary to each other and contrary to the natural acceptance

If we observe carefully, we realize that we have accumulated a lot of desires, which are resulting
in numerous thoughts and expectations

Harmony in the Self is realised when there are no contradictions in the imagination and all
imagination is in accordance with our natural acceptance
Assignment for Today…

C. The Self
1.Take the same list of your desires. Now find out what is the source of the desire:
preconditioning (PC) or sensation (S) or natural acceptance (NA):
S.No. Desire Purpose Preconditioning Sensation Natural
Example: Acceptance
1 Money a. Physical Facilities to √
take care of Body
b. Status √
c. Merry making √
2 Name, fame Attention from others √
3 Good food Health of Body √
Taste √
4 Car a. To save energy of √
Body in transportation
b. Respect in society √
c. To look good √
5 Peace of mind For the Self √
1
Sum Up
Imagination is going on in the Self continuously
Behaviour/Work is an expression/outcome of Imagination

The Self has the faculty of Natural Acceptance – it is innate, invariant and uncorrupted,
but may or may not be presently the motivation for imagination

Imagination is motivated by Preconditioning, Sensation or Natural Acceptance

Imagination guided by Natural Acceptance leads to harmony in the Self. This is the state of self-
organization (स्वतंत्रता). This is the state of happiness. In this state, the behaviour/work is also
mutually fulfilling – the conduct is definite (harmonious)
Imagination motivated by preconditioning or sensation may lead to contradiction in the Self. This
is the state of enslavement. This is the state of unhappiness. In this state, the behaviour/work
may or may not be mutually fulfilling – the conduct is not definite

Every human being has the potential to awaken to his/her Natural Acceptance, and be in
Harmony (This is the full human potential at the level of the Self)
Harmony in the Family
‘Trust’
The Foundational Value in Relationship
Harmony in the Family
1. Relationship is – between one self and another self
2. There are feelings in relationship – in one self for the other self
3. These feelings can be recognized – they are definite
4. Their fulfilment, evaluation leads to mutual happiness

Feelings in relationship:
1 Trust FOUNDATION VALUE 6 Reverence
2 Respect 7 Glory
3 Affection 8 Gratitude —
4 Care 9 Love COMPLETE VALUE
5 Guidance
Self Reflection
If you have unconditional, continuous trust on intention (natural acceptance) of the other and if
the other is lacking competence, what will you do:
a) Try to improve his competence Trust on Intention  Response
(and also improve your competence)
b) Get irritated
c) Get angry Doubt on Intention  Reaction
d) Have a feeling of opposition

How many persons, in your family and friends, do you have trust on intention (natural
acceptance) – unconditional, continuous?

This is fundamental. Trust on intention is the foundation of relationship

You can get an idea of the state of your understanding about relationship from this exploration…
Trust: To have the clarity that the other intends to make me happy
About your Natural Acceptance About your Competence

1a. I want to make myself happy √ 1b. I am able to make myself always happy ?

2a. I want to make the other happy √ 2b. I am able to make the other always happy?

3a. The other wants to make herself/himself √ 3b. The other is able to make herself/himself ?
happy always happy
4a. The other wants to make me happy √ 4b. The other is able to make me always ??
happy

Intention – Natural Acceptance Competence

What is Naturally Acceptable to You What You Are
About the Other About Myself
The other broke a glass The glass broke by accident

If the other makes a mistake even once… Even if I make the same mistake 100 times…
– I doubt his/her intention – I never doubt my intention
– S(he) makes mistakes intentionally – I make mistakes by accident
– I have a feeling of opposition, get irritated, – I have a feeling “I am special”
angry… – I reinforce “I am good”. I do not make effort to
– I reinforce “The other is bad”, can not improve improve my own competence

Doubt on intention is a major reason for problems in relationships

11
Understanding Trust Assuming Trust
Being able to see that all human beings have “Trust” on competence is based on events –
the same natural acceptance (intention) as me can keep changing

Trust on intention is founded on understanding The last 5 times I lent her money, she returned
(not based on events) it on time… so I can trust her

It does not keep changing with time or person. He said he will reach at 11, but look it is after
So it can be unconditional and continuous 12 now… he always comes late… so how can
I trust him to be on time?

Of course, the competence may or may not be Here we are not looking at the natural
there – in me or in the other acceptance (intention). We are only seeing the
competence
Trust is to have the clarity that the other wants to make me happy & prosperous.
Trust is the foundation of relationship

If I am aware of my natural acceptance, I have trust on intention

I feel related to the other (I accept the relationship)
When I make a program with the other, it is based on right evaluation of our mutual competence
 In case the other is lacking in competence
 I make effort to assure the other
 I make effort to improve his competence once he is assured in relationship (and not before that)
 If I lack competence, I become ready to take help from the other to improve my competence

If I am unaware of my natural acceptance, I may have doubt on intention

 I evaluate the other on the basis of his competence and assume the lack of competence to be the
lack of intention; and thus feel opposed to him (while I evaluate myself on intention)
 This feeling of opposition shows up as irritation or anger (and it may further lead to fighting, struggle
and war)
Respect and Types of Evaluation
Over evaluation – to evaluate for more than what it is

Disrespect
Under evaluation – to evaluate for less than what it is

Otherwise evaluation – to evaluate for other than what it is

Not naturally acceptable. Whenever the evaluation is not right, it is disrespect

Check for yourself in every interaction with others whether it is respect or disrespect. i.e.
 It is right evaluation or
 It is over / under / otherwise evaluation
 Other Feelings in Relationship

Justice

Love – The basis for Undivided Family

Affection
The feeling of being related to the other
(acceptance of the other as one’s relative, the other is like me)

One has the responsibility and commitment for mutual fulfilment in the relationship

Opposition, jealousy... are an indication of the absence of affection

 Care Guidance
Feeling of responsibility toward the body of my Feeling of responsibility toward
relative the self of my relative

The responsibility & commitment for nurturing The responsibility & commitment
and protection of the Body of my relative for ensuring Right
Understanding and Right
Feeling in the self of my relative

Care & Guidance are a natural outcome of Affection

Do we ensure both care as well as guidance or are we mostly focused on care?

E.g. while taking care of the body, like while feeding the child, are we
concerned about both the body as well as the self?
Reverence
The feeling of acceptance for excellence

Excellence : Completeness of Right Understanding

Working for Excellence and competing with each other is not the same thing.
In excellence, one helps to bring the other to his level
In competition, he hinders the other from reaching to his level
Effort for Excellence Effort for Competition
The other is like me Not other – only me
We are complementary I am different/more than the other
Feelings are based on right Feelings are based on preconditioning
understanding (definite, (indefinite, keeps changing)
unchanging)
Unconditional relationship Conditional relationship
Nurtures others May nurture or exploit others
Helps the other to come to his level Stops the other to come to his level -
effort to accentuate the difference,
to dominate, manipulate, exploit

Absolute (definite completion point) Relative (no definite completion point)

 Glory Gratitude
Feeling for those who have made effort for Feeling for those who have made
excellence effort for my excellence
Gratitude
Feeling for those who have made effort for my excellence

I can see that the other has a feeling of care, affection, trust.. in behaviour with me. I can also
see that the other
a) has helped me in developing right understanding & right feeling in me
b) Has provided me with the necessary physical facility

Gratitude is significant in the development of relationship

Self Reflection
Check whether you have a feeling of gratitude for those who have
made effort for you in your life…

1. Are you able to appreciate both –”what has been done” as well
as ”what has not been done” (the complete picture)?
or
are you mostly focused on “what has not been done”?

2. Do you have a feeling of gratitude for the other – continuous

or
the feeing of gratitude comes and goes?

3. Are you making effort for “ensuring the right feelings in

yourself and expressing them to the other”
or
are you “expecting these feelings from the other”?
Respect, Reverence, Glory and Gratitude
Basic human aspiration = Continuous happiness
= To achieve excellence
Excellence
Understanding Harmony &
at all 4 levels
Living in Harmony 1. In the Human Being
2. In Family
Continuous Happiness 3. In Society
4. In Nature/Existence
Trust, Respect– For all

Reverence – For those who have achieved excellence

Glory – For those who have made effort for excellence

Gratitude – For those who have made effort for my excellence

Opposition, Affection and Love
Verify on the basis of your natural acceptance if you want to be related to:
None X  The feeling of being related to none – in opposition to all
One √  The feeling of being related to one
Affection
Many
√  The feeling of being related to many
Everyone √  The feeling of being related to all Love

Affection – The feeling of being related to the other

(acceptance of the other as one’s relative)

Love – The feeling of being related to all (Complete Value)

14
Preconditioning Related to Love – Common misunderstandings
Excitement (from sensation, preconditioning) is confused for feeling
Natural
Sensation – Imagination
Acceptance
Lust, getting from the other (in the Self) Love
Continuity not possible

Preconditioning
Preconditioning –
Infatuation

Sensation
Infatuation, Lust
1. Love at First Sight?
2. By this age, I must have GF/BF?
3. The other has 4 GF/BF; I have only one?
Continuity not possible

Right understanding (natural acceptance) –

Love (प्रेम) = feeling of being related to all, responsible towards all, giving to all
Continuity

Once trust, respect, affection, care, guidance… are ensured within, then
the feeling of being related to all follows naturally
Preconditioning Related to Love

This is certainly not Love!

The feeling of love needs to be

understood rightly by all,
particularly by youth
Love
¼izse½ The feeling of being related to all (Complete Value)
Love–

It all starts with identifying that one is related to other human being (Affection) and it slowly
expands to the feeling of being related to all human beings and then to all, each & every unit in
nature (human being as well as other units) (Love)

Feeling of Love is expressed in the form of kindness, beneficence and compassion. The feeling
is for all, and it is expressed to those who come in contact

The feeling of Love is the foundation of Undivided Society

Harmony in the Society

From Family Order to World Family Order

(Universal Human Order)
Society
We saw that the family is the basic unit or building block of human organisation

The society is the next larger order

Society is composed of many families living together making collective effort for a common goal We will

explore:
1. Goal of human being living in society (human goal)
2. The dimensions or systems required to achieve the human goal
3. Scope of the systems
What is Desirable and Where are we today?
Families living together, in a relationship of mutual fulfillment
(common goal)
Society

People living together, but not in relationship of mutual fulfillment

(differing goals)
Crowd

People living separately, in opposition / struggle

1. Right understanding, i.e. wisdom or clarity about what to do as a human being – in oneself, family, society,
nature…
2. Right feeling – the capacity to live in relationship with the other human beings – in family, society…
3. Right skills for prosperity, i.e.
 The capacity to identify the need of physical facility
 The skills & practice for sustainable production of more than what is required (by way of labour, using cyclic, mutually
enriching process)
 The feeling of prosperity
Sum Up
A society is composed of families living together, in a relationship of mutual fulfillment. They have a common
goal, which is:
1. Right understanding & right feeling (happiness) in every individual
2. Prosperity in every family
3. Fearlessness (Trust) in society
4. Co-existence in nature/existence
The family is the basic unit in society, i.e. society is composed of family, group of families, village family, group of
village families, town family… and so on, where every individual is responsible or self- disciplined and self
motivated by common values, participating in the larger order toward a common human goal
Through the participation of every family in the society, in the 5 dimensions or social systems, the common
1. Education – Sanskar
human goal is fulfilled for all 2. Health – Self-regulation
– from family order to world family order 3. Production – Work
– generation after generation 4. Justice – Preservation
5. Exchange – Storage

[the current civilization is largely based on the assumption that human being = body, happiness is derived primarily from
sensual pleasure & feeling from other; and hence accumulation of physical facility, domination and exploitation is at
the core of the socio-economic systems]
 Harmony in Nature

Interconnectedness, Self-regulation and Mutual Fulfillment among

the Four Orders of Nature
 Introduction
So far we have explored our Natural Acceptance
Our Natural Acceptance is for living in Harmony – as an Individual, as a Family, as a Society…

Is there provision in Nature/Existence for living in accordance with our Natural Acceptance? Is it possible
to live in harmony as an Individual, as a Family, as a Society…?

Is co-existence, mutual fulfillment inherent in Nature? Or

Is the design of nature/existence by way of opposition, struggle, survival of the fittest…?

We will explore the underlying design of Nature/Existence with these questions…

Nature = Collection of Units
Air
Water Trees

Soil

Nature = Collection of Units = 4 Orders
All units can be categorised into 4 orders

Relationship of Mutual Fulfillment
Physical Order, Bio Order and Animal Order are enriching for Human Order, but Human Order (without right
understanding) is not fulfilling for any of the 4 orders
Human beings have
natural acceptance Bio Order
to be mutually fulfilling Plants, Trees

Physical Animal Order

Human Order
Human Being

Once human beings understand, they

can be fulfilling for all four orders
Present-day Problems are largely due to Lack of Understanding
Resource Depletion – The resource is used at a rate which is faster than the rate at which it is produced in
nature

Pollution – The product is such that

1. It does not return to the cycle in nature or
2. It is produced at a rate that is faster than the rate at which it can return to the cycle in nature
Harmony in Nature
 Quantity of units in each order
Physical >> Plant >> Animal >> Human
Quantity as per overall enrichment of the whole; and availability of sustaining resources

 Dependence of each order is on all

previous orders Human
Order
Survival of Human Order is
dependent on all the three orders. Animal Order

Bio Order

Physical Order
Harmony in Nature
All orders have definite conduct – except human order without right understanding

In human being, the Body has a definite conduct

The Self (I) operating on assuming without knowing is the source of indefiniteness, problem

The solution is to ensure knowing

Human
(understanding harmony) Order

Human beings inherently have a Animal Order

natural acceptance to know,
to be in harmony
Bio Order
For this,
human education-sanskar Is
essential Physical Order
Sum Up
1. Physical order – soil, metals etc. Nature = Collection of Units
2. Bio order – trees, plants etc. = 4 Orders
3. Animal order – animals, birds etc. Relationship of mutual
4. Human order – human beings fulfilment (harmony)

There is a relationship of mutual fulfilment (harmony) amongst these 4 orders. The first 3 orders are mutually
fulfilling for each other. They are fulfilling for human being also. It is naturally acceptable to human beings to be
fulfilling for all the orders

The role of human being is to realize this mutual fulfilment – For this, all that human beings need to do is:
1. To understand that mutual fulfilment (harmony) is inherent in nature – we do not have to create it
2. To live accordingly – then the mutual fulfilment amongst the 4 orders will be realised

and there is provision in nature for living with mutual fulfilment (harmony)

Every unit in existence is related with every other unit in existence in a mutually fulfilling manner

Synergy is intrinsic to existence, harmony is inherent in existence – we do not have to create it, we do not
have to construct it

The role of Human Being is to realize this co-existence, this harmony, this order in existence. For this, all

that human beings need to do is:

1. To understand the inherent harmony, the co-existence in existence
2. To live accordingly – to live with the feeling of harmony or co-existence (and there is
every provision in existence for living in co-existence)
