self exploration

Self-exploration is the process of investigating one's values and beliefs to achieve inner harmony and fulfillment. It involves two key aspects: natural acceptance, which is the unconditional acceptance of oneself and the environment, and experiential validation, which emphasizes learning through direct experience. The ultimate goal of self-exploration is to bridge the gap between one's current state and desired state, leading to self-evolution and a deeper understanding of one's relationship with existence.

What is the mechanism of self exploration? And as
a result what do we get in the end and how?

ANS. Self exploration is the process to find out what is valuable to me by


investigating within myself, what is right for me, true for me, has to be judged
within myself. Through self exploration we get the value of our self. For self
exploration we need two expects:

Natural acceptance: Natural acceptance implies unconditional and total


acceptance of the self, people and environment. It also refers to the absence of
any exception from others. Once we fully and truly commit our self on the basis
of natural acceptance, we feel a holistic sense of inner harmony, tranquility and
fulfillment.

Experiential validation: Experiential validation is a process that infuses direct


experience with the learning environment and content. It may be regarded as a
philosophy and methodology in which the direct experience and focused
reflection of the individual helps to increase knowledge, develop skill and clarify
values.

Self exploration takes place in the self and not the body.
Illustrate the purpose of self exploration.

ANS. Self exploration is the process to find out what is valuable to


me by investigating within myself, what is right for me, true for
me, has to be judged within myself. Through self exploration we get
the value of our self. The purpose of self exploration is:
It is a process of dialogue between “what you are” and “what you
really want to be”: It is a process of focusing attention on our self,
our present beliefs and aspirations vis-à-vis what we really want to
be (that is to say, what is naturally acceptable to us). If these two
are the same, then there is no problem. If on
investigationwefindthatthesetwoarenotthesame,thenitmeanswearel
ivingwiththiscontradiction(of not being what we really want to be)
and hence, we need to resolve this contradiction this conflict within
us. It is a process of discovering that there is something innate,
invariant and universal in all human beings. This enables us to look
at our confusions and contradictions within and resolve them by
becoming aware of our natural acceptance.
It is a process of self evolution through self investigation: It
successively enables us to evolve by bridging the gap between ‘what
we are’ and ‘what to be’. Hence, the self exploration leads to our
own improvement, our self evolution – we will become
qualitatively better.
It is a process of knowing oneself and through that, knowing the entire
existence: The exploration starts by asking simple questions about our
self, which gives our clarity about our being, and then clarity about
everything around us.
It is a process of recognizing one’s relationship with every unit in
existence and fulfilling it: It is a process of becoming aware about our
right relationship with other entities in existence and through that
discovering the interconnectedness, co-existence and other in the entire
existence, and living accordingly.
It is a process of knowing human conduct, human character and living
accordingly: It is a process of discovering the definitiveness of human
conduct and human character and enabling one to be definite in thought,
behaviour and work.
It is a process of being in harmony in oneself and in harmony with entire
existence: This process of self exploration helps us to be in harmony
with our self and with every thing around.
It is a process of identifying our innateness and moving towards self
organization and self expression: This process of self exploration helps
us to identify our swatva and through that acquiring swantantrata and
swarajya.
Swatva: Innateness of self – the natural acceptance of harmony
Swatantrata: Being self- organized – being in harmony with oneself
Swarajya: Self-expression, self- extension – living in harmony with
others
Swatva Swatantrata Swarajya
The swatva is already there, intact in each one of us. By being in
dialogue with it, we attain swantantrata enabling us to work for
swarajya.
What do you understand by the terms svatva, swatantrata
and swarajya?

What is innateness (svatva), self organization (swatantrata)


and self expression (swarajya)? How are they related to each
other?

ANS. This process of self exploration helps us to identify our swatva and
through that acquiring swantantrata and swarajya.

Swatva means innateness of self – the natural acceptance of harmony.


Swatantrata means being self- organized – being in harmony with
oneself Swarajya means self-expression, self- extension – living in
harmony with others

The swatva is already there, intact in each one of us. By being in


dialogue with it, we attain swantantrata enabling us to work for
swarajya. Living in contradiction, means we are not self-organized and
living with pre-conditionings where we have assumed certain things,
have accumulated desires without having first evaluated them, then it
means we are partantra. On the other hand, when we identify our
innateness, what we really want to be and establish a dialogue with it, it
enables us to start living with this harmony, it starts expressing itself
through our harmonious behaviour and work, and it naturally extends
to our participation with the surroundings. This is working towards
swarajya.
