Q1.
Define the role of self and body in human life?
Ans.
Self (I)
is consciousness. Its needs are feelings in consciousness (like.
happiness) and these needs are fulfilled by activity of
consciousness, i.e. Right Understanding & Right Feelings. Body is
material.
The
human being is the co-existence of ‘I’ and the body, and there is
exchange of information between the two. We can make this distinction
between the self and the body in terms of the needs as shown in the
table below:
|
|
I
|
Body
|
Needs
|
Needs
are…
|
Trust,
Respect …
|
Food,
Clothing….
|
Happiness
(sukh)
|
Physical
Facilities (suvidha)
|
In
time needs are...
|
Continuous
|
Temporary
|
In
quantity, needs are…
|
Qualitative
|
Quantitative
(limited in quantity)
|
Needs
are fulfilled by…
|
Right
understanding and right feelings
|
Food,
clothing, etc.
|
1. Needs
are ….The needs of the body like
food for nourishment clothes for protection, and instruments to
ensure right utilization can be categorized as being ‘physical’
in nature, or also called ‘physical facilities’ (suvidha) whereas
the need of I is essentially to live in a state of continuous
happiness (sukh). The needs of the body are physical in nature,
whereas the needs of the self (‘I’) are not physical in nature –
like trust, respect, happiness etc.
2. In
time, needs are… The needs of
‘I’ are continuous in time, unlike the need of the body, which is
temporary in time. We want happiness continuously. We also want the
feeling of respect continuously and so also acceptance in
relationship. If we talk about food, clothing, shelter, or
instruments, these are needed only for some amount of time, or we can
say that the need for physical facilities of the body is temporary in
time- it is not continuous.
3. In
quality, needs are….. Physical
facilities are needed for the body in a limited quantity. When we try
and exceed these limits, it becomes troublesome for us after some
time. Let’s take the example of eating. As far as, physical
facilities (say rasgulla) go, they are necessary in the beginning,
but if we keep consuming, it becomes intolerable with the passage of
time. This applies to every physical facility. We can only think of
having unlimited physical facilities, but if we try and consume, or
have too much of physical facilities, it only ends up becoming a
problem for us. Whereas the needs of ‘I’ are qualitative (they
are not quantifiable), but we also want them continuously. Our
feelings are qualitative. Either they are or they are not. Ex.
Happiness is qualitative. Either we are feeling happy or we are not.
Also if a feeling is not naturally acceptable; we do not want it even
for a single moment. If acceptable, we want it continuously.
4. Needs
are fulfilled by….The need of the
self (‘I’), for happiness (sukh) is ensured by right
understanding and right feelings, while the need of the body, for
physical facilities (suvidha), is ensured by appropriate
physico-chemical things.
The
human being is the co-existence of ‘I’ and the body, and there is
exchange of information between the two, i.e. ‘I’ and body exist
together and are related. There is a flow of information from ‘I’
to the body and from body to the ‘I’. We can make this
distinction between the self and the body in three ways in terms of
the needs, activities and the types of these two entities. All the
needs of I, say respect, trust, etc., can be called as Happiness
(such), while the needs of body are physical facilities (suvidha)
like food. The two things are qualitatively different. There is no
relevance of quantity for the needs of I as it is qualitative, while
the needs of body are quantitative, and they are limited in quantity.
The
activities of ‘I’ are activities like, desire, thinking,
selection, while the activities of body are activities like eating,
breathing etc. The mode of interaction of ‘I’ includes knowing,
assuming, recognizing and fulfilment. The fulfilment depends on
recognition depends on assumptions and assumptions depends on knowing
or not knowing (beliefs). If assuming is based on knowledge, then
recognition will be correct and fulfilment will be correct. If
assuming is not based on knowledge, then things may go wrong. The
mode of interaction of body is only recognizing and fulfilling. Self
is a conscious entity and the body is a material entity, or
physic-chemical in nature. Thus we can say:
To
conclude we can say that the human being can be understood in terms
of a co-existence of two entirely distinct entities, namely sentient
‘I’ and material body. Their needs and activities are quite
different and have to be understood accordingly. But these two
constituents of human being are to act in close synergy with each
other.
Q2.
Define will power? What is gratitude?
Ans.
Willpower is the motivation to exercise will. A person with strong
willpower will assert decisions even in the face of strong opposition
or other contradictory indicators. A person with little willpower
will give in easily.
Getting
what you want takes willpower, whether it means you doing something
or others doing things for you. To succeed, this means first you must
know what you want. Then you must be determined to get it, even in
the face of extreme difficulties.
Will
and power are
closely related, as using will is exercising power. Powerful
people often exercise what seems to be a strong will,
although this often comes from the confidence that having power
creates rather than directly from having the power. In a reversal,
people who have strong a strong increase their power as a result.
Gratitude
is the feeling of acceptance for those who have made efforts for my
excellence. Gratitude is an emotion that occurs after people receive
help, depending on how they interpret the situation. Specifically,
gratitude is experienced if people perceive the help they receive as
(a) valuable to them, (b) costly to their benefactor, and (c) given
by the benefactor with benevolent intentions.
Gratitude
is a form of humility and kindness, which is a language received with
open hearts by anyone of an understanding nature. Showing thanks is
acknowledging good in the part of another human being, paying a
compliment and a nod to someone else’s attitude and effort.
Feeling
and expressing gratitude turns our mental focus to the positive,
which compensates for our brains’ natural tendency to focus on
threats, worries, and negative aspects of life. As such, gratitude
creates positive emotions like joy, love,
and contentment which research shows can undo the grip of negative
emotions like anxiety. Fostering gratitude can also broaden your
thinking, and create positive cycles of thinking and behaving in
healthy, positive ways.
Q3.
Explain the feeling of care and trust?
Ans.
Care is
defined as to have feelings like
concern, responsibility or love for someone or something. An example
of care is
someone feeling anxious
about their spouse going out to a singles bar.
Trust is
a feeling that somebody or something can be relied upon, or will turn
out to be good. It is the feeling of being sure about something, even
if it cannot be proved. Trust is
the act of placing confidence in someone or something else. It is a
fundamental human experience. Trust is necessary for society to
function. It can play a large role in happiness. Without it, fear
rules. Trust is not an either/or proposition, but a matter of degree.
Some life experiences can impact a person's ability to trust others.
Q4.
How can I trust a stranger? Clarify
Ans.
Our
trust in strangers is dependent on their resemblance to others we’ve
previously known, finds a new study by a team of psychology
researchers. Its results show that strangers resembling past
individuals known to be trustworthy are trusted more; by contrast,
those similar to others known to be untrustworthy are trusted less.
The
details of the research, conducted at New York University, are
reported in the latest issue of the journal Proceedings
of the National Academy of Sciences.
“Our
study reveals that strangers are distrusted even when they only
minimally resemble someone previously associated with immoral
behavior,” explains the work’s lead author, Oriel FeldmanHall,
who led research as a post-doctoral fellow at NYU and who is now an
assistant professor in Brown University’s Department of Cognitive,
Linguistic, and Psychological Sciences. “Like Pavlov’s dog, who,
despite being conditioned on a single bell, continues to salivate to
bells that have similar tones, we use information about a person’s
moral character, in this case whether they can be trusted, as a basic
Pavlovian learning mechanism in order to make judgments about
strangers.”
Q5.
Elucidate the concept of love.
Ans.
Love
is Indescribable
“Love
is a sentiment not able to be characterized by words.”
Love
is About Give-and-Take
“Completely
opening up and sharing your feelings and life with them daily, that’s
what constitutes a healthy relationship. But, it must be mutual.
If a particular area is lacking on either side of the relationship,
it makes it unideal and unhealthy.”
Love
is Respect
“To
me, a healthy relationship is built on respect for one
another. Each person understands the commitment they are making to
the other person.”
Love
is Being In-Sync
“A healthy
relationship could describe a plethora of different types of
relationships, but the most important aspect of being in a
relationship is being in-sync. Whether you both talk through
every hour of your waking day, or whether you agree that you’re
both busy and you’ll just talk on the phone at the end of every
day, as long as you both are in agreement, that is what’s
important.”
Q6.
How trust and respect are connected with each other?
Ans.
From
fostering a leadership team with humility to confronting brutal
facts, it’s not easy to take your business to the next level.
However, when you really look at it, it all comes down to trust and
respect in the workplace.
In
the book Good to Great, author Jim Collins set out to identify how to
turn a mediocre, or good, company into a great one. The importance of
trust and respect was a major theme of his conclusion.
Unfortunately,
in a fast-paced environment, it’s easy for foundational company
values like this to go by the wayside when they aren’t
intentionally prioritized.
The
solution is understanding each other, communicating efficiently and
creating an environment where people can be individuals. When all
three are achieved, you get a more productive and creative workforce.
Need
some help prioritizing trust and respect in your business? Here’s
how you can refocus.
While
trust is a belief in your employees, respect is that trust in action.
A relationship based on trust and respect requires every team member
to take responsibility for their actions – including you, as the
leader.
In
fact, at the helm of your business, it’s primarily your
responsibility to set
a positive course
and
mobilize employees.
If
you want to truly model these values and foster a positive work
environment, not only does this require you to care, but it requires
you to listen
to employees.
Every
employee brings unique values, strengths and communication methods.
Take the time to get to know your employees on an individual basis,
and encourage them to get to know one another. When issues arise, you
can better tailor the conversation to the individual.
For
example, if you know that your employee is an extrovert who loves
human interaction, consider stopping by their desk to solve a problem
face-to-face rather than trying to resolve it over an email thread.
Or,
if an employee
is an introvert who
prefers taking care of matters over chat, feel free to send an
instant message.
Q7.
Define human- human relationship?
Ans.
We
can define human
relations as
relations with or between people, particularly in a workplace or
professional setting.
human relationship - a relation between people; (`relationship' is often used where `relation' would serve, as in `the relationship between inflation and unemployment', but the preferred usage of `relationship' is for human relations or states of relatedness); "the relationship between mothers and their children"
relationship
relation - an abstraction belonging to or characteristic of two entities or parts together
partnership - a cooperative relationship between people or groups who agree to share responsibility for achieving some specific goal; "effective language learning is a partnership between school, teacher and student"; "the action teams worked in partnership with the government"
personal
relation, personal
relationship - a relation between persons

Q8.
There
are many problems manifest today at the level of individual, family,
society and the nature. Identify some of these problems humans suffer
from.
Ans.
Today we are generally trying to achieve happiness and prosperity by
maximizing accumulation and consumption of physical facilities. This
effort is giving rise to many problems manifest today at the level of
individual, family, society and the nature.
These
problems are:
At
the level of individual– Rising problems of depression, anxiety,
suicides, stress, insecurity, increasing health problems, lack of
confidence and convictionetc. At the level of family– Breaking
up of joint families, mistrust and disharmony in relationships,
divorce, generation gap, dowry deaths, neglect of older peopleetc.
At
the level of society– Growing incidences of terrorism, violence,
communalism, racial and ethnic struggle, corruption, adulteration,
sex-crimes exploitation, wars between nations, proliferation of
lethal weaponsetc.
At
the level of nature– Global warming, weather imbalances, depletion
of mineral and energy resources, deforestation, soil degradationetc.
All the problems are a direct outcome of an incorrect understanding,
our wrong notion about happiness and prosperity and their continuity.
Q9.
How the feeling of affection is different from the feeling of love.
Ans.
Love
and affection are two words that are intrinsically linked. They are
of course similar in many ways: they are both feelings that we
harbour for those of us in our lives who are most important to us.
Most
of us don’t really think too deeply about it when it comes to these
kinds of words, and we do have a tendency to just use them
interchangeably. But they are actually quite different from each
other in definition.
Although
they are just words and we can kind of use them as we choose and be a
bit liberal in our personal definitions, but when we look a bit more
deeply into these actual sensations, we can see that there are two
distinct feelings and that the different words are warranted.
This
doesn’t mean that you are using the words wrong or that you should
alter how you express your personal feelings, but it is interesting
to note why we feel a certain way towards certain people and
differently towards others.
Both
of the words are expressions of endearment, and positive sensations
which are based around strong relationships, so what exactly is it
that differentiates the two from each other?
Q10.
How can you maintain harmony in relationship?
Ans.
Harmony
and peace come from understanding, and that doesn’t have to mean
agreeing. It’s simply seeing and accepting where the other person
is coming from. When clarity is the foundation of your communication
you can truly grow together, without fear of your words being taken
the wrong way.
MAINTAINING
HARMONY IN RELATIONSHIPS
When
two people are in a relationship, there has to be a fair amount of
give and take, a fair amount of adjustments and acceptance. Most
relationships start off well, with both parties making concrete
efforts to put their best foot forward, to overlook the differences
and individual preferences and to have minimal expectations from the
other. With time, as the sheen wears off, people stop putting that
extra effort, revert to their original selves, and start spreading
negativity and showing unhappiness or displeasure, at each other.
Q11.
What
is the difference between animal consciousness and human
consciousness? How does the transformation take place in a human
being?
Ans.
Giving
all priorities to physical facilities only, or to live solely on the
basis of physical facilities, may be termed as ‘Animal
Consciousness’.
Living with all three: Right understanding, Relationship and Physical
facilities is called ‘Human
Consciousness’.
From
the diagram we can say that:
•
For
animal, physical facility is necessary as well as complete –
whereas for human beings it is necessary but not complete.
•
Working
only for physical facilities is living with Animal
Consciousness.
•
Working
for right understanding as the first priority followed by
relationship and physical facilities implies living with Human
Consciousness.
•
There
is a need for transformation from Animal
Consciousness to Human
Consciousness. It can be
accomplished only by working for right understanding as the first
priority.
•
This
transformation from Animal
Consciousness to Human
Consciousness forms the basis
for human values and values based living.
The
content of education is the understanding of harmony at all the four
levels of our existence –from myself to the entire existence. Right
living or sanskar refers to the ability to live in harmony at all the
four levels of living. This dimension of society works to ensure
‘right understanding’ and ‘right feelings’ in individual. Or
all-encompassing solution called samadhan in every individual and
ensures that our succeeding generation have both the content and the
environment available to work towards achieving their goal of
continuous happiness and prosperity.
Q12.
What is prosperity? Is it different from happiness?
Ans.
The feeling of having or making available more than required physical
facilities is prosperity. Almost all of us feel that wealth alone
means prosperity and try to explain this phenomenon on this
nonexistent or half fact. We are trying to achieve happiness and
prosperity by maximizing accumulation and consumption of physical
facilities. It is becoming anti-ecological and anti-people, and
threatening the human survival itself. For prosperity, two things are
required-
1. Identification
of the required quantity of physical facilities, and
2. Ensuring
availability / production of more than required physical facilities.
We
can be prosperous only if there is a limit to the need for physical
facilities. If there is no limit what so ever be the availability the
feeling of prosperity cannot be assured.
Secondly,
just assessing the need is not enough. We need to be able to produce
or make available more than the perceived need.
We
are trying to achieve happiness and prosperity by maximizing
accumulation and consumption of physical facilities. It is becoming
anti-ecological and anti-people, and threatening the human survival
itself.
Some
of the consequences of such trend are summarized below:
At
the level of individual: rising problems of depression, psychological
disorders, suicides, stress, insecurity, etc.
At
the level of family: breaking of joint families, mistrust, and
conflict between older and younger generations, insecurity in
relationships, divorce, dowry tortures, etc.
At
the level of society: growing incidence of terrorism and naxalism,
rising communalism, spreading casteism, racial and ethnic struggle,
wars between nations, etc.
At
the level of nature: global warming, water, air, soil, noise etc.
pollution, resource depletion of minerals and mineral oils, etc.
All
the problems are a direct outcome of an incorrect understanding, our
wrong notion about happiness and prosperity and their continuity –
this is an issue for serious exploration.
Q13.
What is harmony? Discuss in detail with universal aspect.
Ans.
Harmony
is the source of manifestation, the cause of its existence, and the
medium between God and man.
The
peace for which every soul strives, and which is the true nature of
God and the utmost goal of man, is but the outcome of harmony; this
shows that all life's attainments without a sense of harmony are but
vain. It is the attainment of harmony which is called heaven, and it
is the lack of it which is termed hell. The master of it alone
understands life, and he who lacks it is foolish in spite of all
other knowledge that he may have acquired.
The
Sufi gives great importance to the attainment of harmony, believing
that light is for angels and darkness for the devil, but that harmony
is necessary for a human being in order to keep a balance in life.
There
are three aspects of harmony: eternal, universal, and individual.
Eternal
harmony is the harmony of consciousness. As it is in itself eternal,
all things and beings live and move in it; yet it remains remote,
undisturbed and peaceful. This is the God of the believer, and the
God of the knower. All vibrations from the finest to the grossest are
held together by this harmony, as well as each atom of manifestation,
and both creation and destruction take place in order to uphold it.
Its power ultimately attracts each being towards the everlasting
peace.
Man
is drawn in two opposite directions by the power of harmony: towards
the Infinite and towards manifestation. He is less conscious of the
former than of the latter, and by facing towards one direction he
loses sight of the other. The Infinite, being the essential spirit of
all, finally attracts all to itself. The Sufi gives the greatest
importance to harmony with the Infinite, which he realizes by
resignation to the will of God, the Beloved.
Q14.
What
do the abbreviations given as SVDD, SSDD and SSSS signify?
Ans.
To achieve our basic aspirations we need to work for right
understanding as the base on which we can work for relationship and
then physical facilities. Today we are not working according to this
that why we can see that there are two kind of people in the world:
1. Those
that do not have physical facilities/ wealth and feel unhappy and
deprived. i.e. SVDD: Sadhan Viheen Dukhi Daridra – Materially
Deficient, Unhappy and Deprived.
2. Those
that have physical facilities/ wealth and feel unhappy and deprived.
i.e. SSDD: Sadhan Sampann Dukhi Daridra – Materially Affluent,
Unhappy and Deprived. But these are states we don’t want to be in.
We want to move from this to third category i.e.
3. Having
physical facilities and feeling happy and prosperous i.e. SSSS:
Sadhan Sampann Sukhi Samriddha – Materially Adequate, Happy and
Prosperous.
Presently,
as we look around, we find most of the people in the above two
categories called SVD and SSDD, while the natural acceptance of all
human beings is to be in the category of SSSS.
Q15.
What is the difference between respect and disrespect? Which of the
two is maturely acceptable to you?
Ans.
Respect means accepting individuality and doing right evaluation (to
be evaluated as I am). Our basis for respect today is largely quite
contrary to our discussion above. Instead of respect being a basis of
similarity or one of right evaluation, we have made it into something
on the basis of which we differentiate i.e. by respecting you mean
you are doing something special, because you are special or have
something special or are in some special position. Thus, all of us
are running around seeking respect from one another by trying to
become something special.
Today,
we are differentiating in the name of respect. We either
differentiate people on the basis of their body, on the basis of
their wealth and possessions or on the basis of their beliefs. There
is no notion of respect in terms of right evaluation. Thus, there is
no real feeling of relationship, only one of differentiation.
On
the basis of body
Sex/gender: We
ignore the fact that being male or female is an attribute of the
body, and not an attribute at the level of ‘I’. And differentiate
in giving respect on the basis of gender called male and females. In
many countries, people even prefer a male child to a female child,
and in some other societies, the other way round.
Race: If
the person is of the same race as oneself, then we treat them
differently. For example, we differentiate on the basis of skin
colour – white, brown, black etc. or on the basis of whether the
person is of Aryan race, Mongolian race etc. or on the basis of
caste. Again here, we don’t do the evaluation on the basis of ‘I’,
but on the basis of the body
Age: We
have notions such as ‘one must respect elders’. There is no such
notion as respect youngsters. Here, we see that we are again
evaluating at the level of the body – age is related to the body,
and not to ‘I’.
Physical
strength: If
someone is stronger, we again treat him/her differently. This is
again at the level of the body. In fact, we think that we are
respecting the other while it is fear; the fear that if we do not
treat them like this, we will be harmed.
On
the basis of physical facilities
Wealth: We
differentiate people because some have wealth than others. What we
term as a “rich person” gets idolized. We don’t even bother to
find out whether such people are feeling prosperous, or if they just
have wealth. This way, we are over-evaluating physical facilities
first, which are just meant to fulfil the needs of the body, and then
on this basis, we are wrongly identifying our relationship.
Post: We
try to respect on the basis of a person’s position. The post is
wrongly evaluated as the mark of a person’s excellence and
differentiation sets in. The post is considered important either on
the basis that it gives more physical facilities or on the basis that
certain positions are assumed to be important. In our education, we
are trained directly or indirectly to earn posts for us to fetch
respect.
On
the basis of beliefs
‘Isms’: ‘Ism’
means any belief in terms of a ‘thought-system’ that we have, or
that we have adopted. There are also many modern ‘isms’ such as
capitalism, socialism, communism, etc. The people following these
sets of beliefs are called capitalists, socialists, communists, and
so on. The people that have adopted them or are following them have
been exposed to them since childhood. Believing theirs to be the
right belief. However, all beliefs, as we have seen are at the level
of desires, thoughts and expectations (selections) in ‘I’. There
is no definiteness at this level, and hence, this becomes a cause for
differentiation.
Sects: People
of one sect only consider those with a similar belief system to be
their ‘own’ and worthy of respect. Following a particular
tradition, or what we call as religion, becomes the basis of respect
and disrespect in relationship.
Difference
between respect and differentiation
Respect
|
Differentiation
|
1.
Respect is right evaluation.
|
1.
Differentiation is lack of understanding of respect.
|
2.
Respect for others is generated by the right evaluation and
understanding which leads to fulfilment in relationships. This
further creates a sense of respect among people
|
2.
This differentiation can take the form of:
o Gender
bias
o Generation
gap
o Caste
struggle
o Power
play and domination
o Communal
violence
o Clash
of race, religion, etc.
o class
struggle,

3.
This leads to the escalation in the problems of society which
further lowers the respect shown to others in society.

Q16.
How Value Education does helps in fulfilling one’s aspirations?
Ans.
Character oriented education that instils basic values and ethnic
values in one’s psyche is called ‘Value Based Education’. The
subject that enables us to understand ‘what is valuable’ for
human happiness is called value education. Value education is
important to help everyone in improving the value system that he/she
holds and puts it to use. Once, one has understood his/ her values in
life he/she can examine and control the various choices he/she makes
in his/ her life. Value education enables us to understand our needs
and visualize our goals correctly and also helps to remove our
confusions and contradictions and bring harmony at all levels. It
also helps remove our confusions and contradictions and enables us to
rightly utilize the technological innovations.
Values
form the basis for all our thoughts, behaviors and actions. Once we
know what is valuable to us, these values becomes the basis, the
anchor for our actions. We also need to understand the universality
of various human values, because only then we can have a definite and
common program for value education. Then only we can be assured of a
happy and harmonious human society.
The
subject that enables us to understand ‘what is valuable’ for
human happiness is called value education. In order to qualify for
any course on value education, the following guidelines for the
content of the course are important:
• Universal: It
needs to be applicable to all the human beings irrespective of cast,
creed, nationalities, religion, etc., for all times and regions.
• Rational: It
has to appeal to human reasoning. It has to be amenable to reasoning
and not based on dogmas or blind beliefs.
• Natural
and verifiable: It has to be
naturally acceptable to the human being who goes through the course
and when we live on the basis of such values it leads to our
happiness. It needs to be experientially verifiable, and not based on
dogmas, beliefs or assumptions.
• All
encompassing: Value education
is aimed at transforming our consciousness and living. Hence, it
needs to cover all the dimensions (thought, behavior, work and
realization) and levels (individual, family, society, nature and
existence) of human life and profession.
• Leading
to harmony: The value education
ultimately is targeted to promote harmony within the individual,
among human beings and with nature.
The
subject that enables us to understand ‘what is valuable’ for
human happiness is called value education. Need for value education
is:
Correct
identification of our aspirations. The
subject which enables us to understand ‘what is valuable’ for
human happiness is called ‘value education’ (VE). Thus, VE
enables us to understand our needs and visualize our goals correctly
and also indicate the direction for their fulfilment. It also helps
to remove our confusions and contradictions and bring harmony at all
levels.
Understanding
universal human values to fulfil our aspirations in
continuity. Values
form the basis for all our thoughts, behaviors and actions. Once we
know what is valuable to us, these values becomes the basis, the
anchor for our actions. We also need to understand the universality
of various human values, because only then we can have a definite and
common program for value education. Then only we can be assured of a
happy and harmonious human society.
Complementarity
of values and skills. To
fulfil our aspirations both values and skills are necessary. When we
identify and set the right goals and produced in right direction.
This is known as value
domain,
the domain of wisdom, and when we learn and practices to actualize
this goal to develop the techniques to make this happen in real life,
in various dimensions of human endeavor (struggle). This is known
as domain
of skills.
Hence,
there is an essential complementarity between values and skills for
the success of any human endeavor. For example, I want to lead a
healthy life. Only wishing for good health will not help me keep my
body fit and healthy and without having understood the meaning of
health, I will not be able to choose things correctly to keep my body
fit and healthy.
Evaluation
of our beliefs. Each
one of us believes in certain things and we base our values on these
beliefs, be they false or true which may or may not be true in
reality. These believes come to us from what we read, see, hear, what
our parents tells us, our friends talk about, what the magazines talk
of, what we see from TV etc. Value Education helps us to evaluate our
beliefs and assumed values.
Technology
and human values. The
present education system has become largely skill-based. The prime
emphasis is on science and technology. However, science and
technology can only help to provide the means to achieve what is
considered valuable. It is not within the scope of science and
technology to provide the competence of deciding what really is
valuable. Value Education is a crucial missing link in the present
education system. Because of this deficiency, most of our efforts may
prove to be counterproductive and serious crises at the individual,
societal and environmental level are manifesting.

Values and skill complement each other. Elaborate.
Ans.
Values means importance or
participation and skills means qualities, training, and capabilities.
To fulfil our aspirations both values and skills are necessary. When
we identify and set the right goals and produced in right direction.
This is known as value domain, the domain of wisdom. Basically we
must know what really is useful to achieve human happiness, the
happiness to all and for all the time.
And
when we learn and practices to actualize this goal to develop the
techniques to make this happen in real life, in various dimensions of
human endeavour (struggle). This is known as domain of skills. Hence,
there is an essential complementarity between values and skills for
the success of any human endeavour.
For
example, I want to lead a healthy life. Only wishing for good health
will not help me keep my body fit and healthy and without having
understood the meaning of health, I will not be able to choose things
correctly to keep my body fit and healthy. So i have to learn the
skills to achieve the goal of good health i.e. food to be consumed,
the physical workout to be designed. So without knowing the meaning
of good health, health cannot be achieved and also it is necessary to
make use of the goal to achieve the goal of the goal.
Q18.
Define Self-Exploration. What is the content 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 ourself. It is a process of focusing attention on ourself, our
present beliefs and aspirations vis-Ã -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 investigation we find
that these two are not the same, then it means we are living with
this contradiction (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.
We
live with different entirety (family, friends, air, soil, water,
trees, etc.) and we want to understand our relationship with all
these. For this we need to start observing inside. The main focus of
self-exploration is myself - the human being. Content of self
exploration is just finding answers to the following fundamental
questions of all human beings:
1. The
Desire/Goal: What
is my (human) Desire/ Goal? What do I really want in life, or what is
the goal of human life?
2. Program: What
is my (human) program for fulfilling the desire? How to fulfil it?
What is the program to actualize the above?
In
short, the above two questions cover the whole domain of human
aspirations and human endeavor. Thus, they form the content of self-
exploration.
Q19.
“Natural Acceptance is innate, invariant and universal”. Explain
this statement with an example.
Ans.
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 ourself on the
basis of natural acceptance, we feel a holistic sense of inner
harmony, tranquility and fulfillment. Actually natural acceptance is
way to accept the good things naturally. Learn everything that is
good from others, but bring it in, and in our own way absorb it; do
not become others. We can easily verify proposals in the basis of
characteristics of natural acceptance mentioned below:
a) Natural
acceptance does not change with time.
It remains invariant with time. For example our natural acceptance
for trust and respect does not change with age.
b) It
does not depend on the place.
Whatever we have accepted, in our life, at any time of our age, does
not change, even if we move from one place to another one.
c) It
does not depend on our beliefs or past conditionings. No
matter how deep our belief or past conditioning, as long as we ask
ourselves the question sincerely, as long as we refer deep within
ourselves, the answer will always be the same.
d) This
natural acceptance is ‘constantly there’, something we can refer
to. Natural acceptance is always
there. Whatever we do, this natural acceptance is within us, it is
telling us what is right.
e) Natural
acceptance is the same for all of us: it is part and parcel of every
human being, it is part of humanness.
Though each one of us, may have different likes and dislikes and
means to live and to react etc. but if we go deep in our mind the
purpose of our work, behaviour, efforts etc. are based on common
goals like need to be happy, need to be respected, need to get
prosperity. So our basic acceptance remains the same.
Q20.
“Physical
facilities are necessary and complete for animals, while they are
necessary but not complete for humans.” Comment.
Ans.
Physical
facilities are necessary and complete for animals, while they are
necessary but not complete for humans. It is easy to verify.
For
Animals: Animals need physical
things to survive, mainly to take care of their body. For example;
cow will look for food when it is hungry. Once it gets the grass or
fodder. It eats it, sits around to chew at leisure. Hence, we can say
that as long as animals have physical things, they are largely fine.
They don’t desire other things like knowledge or a peaceful animal
society or getting a good MBA.
For
Humans: While physical facilities
are necessary for human beings, they are not complete by themselves
to fulfill our needs. Our needs are more than just physical
facilities. We all have other needs, other plans, perhaps we think of
going to a movie or reading a book, or go to college, or watch some
TV, or spend time with family and friends….. this list is endless.
Thus it is easy to see that while physical facilities are necessary
for us human beings, they are not complete by themselves to fulfill
our needs.
Hence
we can say that for animals – “Physical facilities are necessary
and complete.”
For
humans “Physical facilities are necessary but not complete.”
