Preface:
views a lot on that day and come across many segments and finally landed up
on conclusion that our emotional and sentimental Bakjhak will be presentable
to the society in the form of a book on Human Value and moral ethics.
Human as the name suggests High Man is a pioneer in the Gods kingdom.
He is highly edited version of animal and being on this earth with an additional
hard disk i.e. the mind. The heavy head Human is the only creation of God who
can think, act and change the so called mystical world of God. In the world of
new interventions and innovations the rapid development are leading towards
a goal where creation of God is on the cards and if it is materialize in a perfect
day, it must not be a surprise.
Actions and moving ahead is synonyms of Human efforts. To pace up the life
with the help of machine is making the journey smooth and effective and now it
looks that the entire world is under control. The sky is the limit, shows the
determination and enthusiasm of the human mind. To conquer the earth was
mile stone of last century. Now the Google earth, sky and water are providing
new dimensions to the thrust of human being.
Surprisingly the growth of mind is directly proportional to the growth of society
and so is benefitted for the country and world. This progress has provided
many wings and opportunities to entire human society. In the field of science,
management, information technology, sports, lifestyle all is being now
governed by this modern and sophisticated approach. It looks so that apart
from the cloning of the Soul, the entire worldly things are getting done in the
4|Page
laboratory. The artificial world is being continuously replacing the real world.
This is really remarkable as the human efforts are just some centuries old
whereas the God, the generator, operator or the destroyer took million of the
years to create history and historical being on this earth.
The question arises what happen next when the man creates a man? What
happen when he conquer the universe? What will be the matter of research
after that is a matter of debate for entire intelligentsia. It looks from this end of
the world that one thing is missing alarmingly is the soul. Who is the loser, what
is going behind is Thyself. Hardly has it made us to look into inside of the self
and come around any new theory or definite result. Seldom has we time to
introspect for to realize thyself. What is the purpose of making over here? Who
am I? What am I?
Do these questions ever haunt us or we are just merely spectators waiting for
someone to come up with solutions at some day and we just clap and
acknowledge the new finding. The technocrats who are supposed to more
introvert must come up aleast some programming structure, why we cant
debug the life error. We had some many objects, classes and variables in
enormous programming libraries, Cant we manage a single program i.e. the
program of life. Why is it so miseries in nature, arent we come up with some
perfect operating system which can be once installed can make and match
everything which a small but happy life needs?
We the so called educated people of the society do really need a human value
based education. The values which are in our nerves, bloods and vain, right
from the birth or call it hereditary as Bharat vanshi does really need a lesson
of moral ethics. Ethics is the treasury which we feel proud, and we do seldom
said that the Indian culture has shown the world the torch of knowledge. Do
these honorable citizens of India have forgotten to switch on the light of this
torch or they have focused everything on the world and look so forgotten the
basics and lost the glaze and glamour in the extreme dusk.

Who will show the path? The education which we are getting in our colleges
and school has lost its basic goal and original objective. Why and whom for the
education is more answerable rather than giving answer to what for this
education is? Is it just a process of providing another paper sheet which worth
less than a few hundred rupees or getting high salary package or to get the life
in a perfect shape or to show the art of living to the world? Many theories and
styles of teaching are in the world but it looks that everything is just leading
toward a new square where every road leads to new mystery and surprises for
life. Many workshops, seminars, government and NGOs are working on this
hot topic but mostly everyone is blaming for the others occupancy of the
crease in the field and still the game is on for someone to looks into it and acts
accordingly.
Education is more than basic understanding of livelihood. It is greater than
attaining the perfection in gimmicks and getting successful in life. Education is
an eye opening exercise for the man to become perfect in all prospers of life.
For that only the Gurukuls were established in our ancient Indian system. The
Gurukul were a perfect center for attaining vital knowledge and life time
experience in mind, body and relationship. The dimensions and philosophy of
mind, the knowledge of body internal as well as external along with subtle
dimensions is easily understandable in that education Harvards. The
relationship with the body to cosmos, body to subtler world, the man to society,
society to the world and the world with cosmos is easily answered in the Vedic
Cambridge.
The concept of looking beyond the self is easily known to the many scholars in
Vedic period. The real treasure of looking inside the self, the pure Atman,
Thyself is the well known fact in the earlier days. The Atmana
Sarvabhuteshu, is the principle of living. Aham Brahmasmi, Tatvamasi,
Sachhidanana aham, was the mantras of self exploration. The physical, astral
and causal body exploration was easily understandable and acceptable to the
society. It was the vision with a perfect structure of the society. Every soul is
potentially divine is not the matter of preaching but practicing and this only

This book will provide a road map to basics of human values and professional
ethics. The scope and the horizons of value education can be easily
understood by going through some thought provocative statements in the
coming chapters. The mind and its relationship with the body, soul can be
better realize by going through the contents in details. The harmony with the
nature is to be understood firstly and then the action accordingly is the need of
the hour. The personality of the self and then looking beyond the self is the
new dimensions of understanding the best of us we have. The universal value
and the ethics and moral stories will provide an insight view of the Rishis and
munis of Vedic era. The professional standard and the ethical relationship will
lead the professors as well as the students to get a practical approach in the
life.
We are grateful to many laureates physical and subtle in this world for making
us to come up with this foundational course in the human value and
professional ethics. Our humble request to the intellectual class is to provide
us the feedback which is more vital for the writers especially who have a small
experience in the field of writing to shape and tone this book into a perfect
physical sheath and to serve the society as always in the search of new lights
and horizons.

We are proud to present this book to the readers. The basic aim was writing
this book is to provide an inside out vision of values, moral teaching, ethic and
10 | P a g e
fundamental of life. The language is simple and day to day life examples has
been included so as the reader may have the feel of their own life.
We had been brought up in the society where the values have been preached
a lot and occasionally we try to adopt them as the salt of life. Our efforts are
here to make a proper understanding of these values and their relationship
with thyself, family, society and ultimately with the nature. The major segment
is the transformation of the self into a bigger self.
There is much emphasis on the self exploration and navigation in this book.
The harmony of the self with the nature, society and family is the key of life and
the technique to find the desired goal is easily explained in the coming
chapters.
The book is divided into three major sections followed by glossary and
appendices:
Section I, comprises of the introduction to the value education is being
elongated into the need of value; basic understanding of the value education,
followed by self exploration of values education and lastly the basic aspirations
of life has been explained.
Section II is the soul of the book where there is much emphasis on the self.
The purified self, the holistic relationship between mind, body and soul, the
harmony of the self with the surrounding and circumstance is minutely
explained. The proper harmony of individual with the family, society and nature
is elaborated further. The concept of existence with the other living creature is
finally explained in this section
Section III keeps the pace of the book with rightly understanding of
professional world, professional ethics and holistic approach to apply in life
style is emphasized. The importance of the human conduct, education and
11 | P a g e
change in the constitution is explained. The definite road ahead and how to
keep the things intact in the onward journey is the last segment of this section.

Unit I
Basic of Human Values
Nature of Life:
t all starts with the basic of the nature i.e. life. The value of a natural
product is very much there. We distinguish it in many formats. Some
products are sorted out by the quality, some by quantity. The more or
less, best or worst and good or bad are the supplement terms related with
15 | P a g e
concerned with moral and ethical values and the personal and social conduct
based on them.
The judges are the key members in the society. They are basically aristocrats,
bureaucrats, and the name differ from region to region but these persons are
the king pin of the society. The entire villages, districts or even the nation
blindly follows them. Whatever they say, or whatever decided by the panch
(village and suburbs scenario) is the final words and one has to abide by these
rules and regulation.
Situation has so far changed in many districts but still it looks so that the
values may differ as per the norms of society or the peoples. So it is very hard
to decide whether we need values in this Jungle-raj (barbarism) of society.
There must be a generalized formula for the society to bind the people and
different segments into a single necklace. The law and order situation, the
rules and regulations are basically value added variables which are located
into the society function to run smoothly.
Does the Prince of God, we usually called him human being needs to
understand the concept of value. Does these values needs to be taught in a
school, college that what this is you are? You are suppose to behave as a
human being, if the things are going out of hand, then it is really a great
concern for the future of the society.
Values what are they?
The sense of value is an essential attribute of the human society. It is the
sense which prompts and guides the true aspect of God lies in every human
being. The word value expresses in qualitative significance we assign to
ideas, feeling, activities and experiences.
While talking to the different aspects of Values and definitions are concerned
the term value literally means:
16 | P a g e
17 | P a g e
18 | P a g e
not willing to help others when needed. We tries to give some arguments that I
am not a god to help all, it is not our matter or sometimes we say ifs and buts
are part of life, one has to deal it as per situation. Many mouths with many
excuses continue in life.
Remember we give excuses in spite of having enough resources. Contrarily on
other hand we do find that the people having minimum resources are always
ready to help others. It is not because they need any name of fame but they
are more open hearted person who does believe that entire world is one family,
the concept of Vasudev Kutumbkam. They are not the laureates of Oxford or
Cambridge but still they know the real power of value in day to day life.
Values are immense in nature, e.g. the value to be nurtured to the extent it
helps in the person career growth. The value morality, justice, kindness,
compassion may decline even lucrative career options if it requires
compromising these values. If someone values nature and natural beauty he
will be trekking in mountains during holidays rather than shopping in mall.
Similarly those who value music, art, literature will spend their evenings in
these pursuits instead of watching TV or chilling out. In short, the quality of
living space we create for ourselves is determined by our system of values.
Types of Values:
Values can be classified in many manners. Basically if you see microscopically
the human conduct (manviya acharan) is divided into three catagories i.e.
value ( manviya mulya), policy ( niti) and Character (Charitra).
19 | P a g e
Character
(Charitra).
policy( niti)

The first and third are mostly taken care by human being and second one is
left for the society, police and for others who has been responsible to maintain
peace and prosperity in society. Values are supplemented or replaced some
time by Swabhav (behavior).
Swabhav (behavior) :
20 | P a g e
clearly understood by the self while working or moving in the any part of the
society.
Classification of Values (Vedic scriptures)
If one goes through the immense of sea of Vedic literature, one can easily find
that all these shastras (vedic books) are full with values i.e. to make the best of
the society in what so ever may be scenario. The values will be in form of
Jeevan mulya (values for life), manviya mulya ( basic human values), stapitya
mulya (established values) or Sisthya mulya (expressed values).
Let us take one by one about these values in day to day life, in family, in
society or largely they are the part of any nation.
Jeevan Mulya:
the living God on earth. God is not like any UFO person landing from the new
territories or planet. It is being defined as the person owning the godliness
qualities can be named as God. If we have a jeevan so the qualities of God
must be imbibed in the self. We all know it very well that God has given us all
the basic qualities and virtues in the subtle form. These qualities lie inside the
human being. It is the only we that can make the difference by continuous
cultivation of righteous deed that can transform our life into superlative form
I.e. if not God then next to God or godliness form.
There are four major jeevan mulya:
1. Shanti (peace of mind): Many knows about peace, want to find it and
try to search it in many forms and types but land up open hands. Shanti
(peace) cannot be bought from the market it has to find. The major
question is to find it where? One cannot find in the market place, nor in
the temple or mosque but it can be find out in the core of our own heart.
It resides inside the self, the purified soul but we hardly pay attention to
attain it. Shanti the real peace of mind and body, the state where there
21 | P a g e
22 | P a g e
It is the perfect state where one realize that I am the part of that GOD,
who is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient. It is the state of Swami
Ramakrishna paramhansa, who talks with kali in temple, eat with her
and it is just the complete transformation of the self into Goddess Kali. It
can also be understand in a way that all the virtues, qualities are
imbibed in the Ramakrishna.
Similar was the case of Lord Buddha. The ordinary prince of a kingdom
after performing penance attain the situation of perfection and become
lord Buddha who shows the path of peace, happiness and santosh to
the society. His maestro words Budhham sharanam Gachyami,
Sangham sharanam Ganchami, Dhammam sharanam Gachyami are
still showing the light of attain the ananda.
Once santosh is being added with combo of sukh and shanti that
ananda is not a far.
o Ananda = Sukh + shanti + Santosh

forgiveness. To let go and forgo are the beauty of these highly potential
souls.
o Daya (Kindness): to show the kindness to all the needy persons is a
real human value.
Trust ( vishwas)
Respect (aadar)
Affection (sneha)

Carefulness (mamta)

Stithya Mulya: they are the outcomes of the stapitya mulya. If one practice
rightly sthapity mulya in day to day, he must be blessed with the stithya mulya.
( the values in the perfect stage). The nine stitya mulyas are
Complement (Saujanyata)
Compliance (Sauhardra)
Commitment (Nistha)
Generous (Udarta)
Momentary (Sahajta)
Honor ( Pujyata)
Simplicity (Saralta)
Soberness (Saumayta)
Continuity (ananayata)
are of your time, they are just obsolete in nature, they are not fit for the modern
society and many more. Who will answer these questions? The generation
gap is creating all these differences in changed values.
Conflicts between generations (Generation Gap)
Thats perfectly true if you looks into society we seldom finds the behavior,
personality of the young generation is a mirror of the current icons of the
society. The film stars, the sports person are the real ideal for the young world.
The world fashion is justified by its true sense if you see the society by the
eyes of youth. They says that fashion is just a way of presenting the self. It is
dressing sense, the way of putting clothes in all possible matter of permutation
and combination in selection the wardrobe is the real fashion. The young mind
says why you mind if I put the jeans in my own ways. After all it is my life and
how is going to govern us. The answer he wants to hear from you is the self.
These are the things which may differ from the parental perspective. They cry
that they have seen the world more. They know what is good or bad, or even
tries to force their ward to perform whatever they like so. It is a matter of
conflict what to do and why to do? This is all about the as always the story of
generation gap. It will remain as it is because the changing mood of the society
compels the person to change.
And it is true rather harsh, that change is not acceptable after an age. The ever
changing scenes, actions and activities enforce us to be a part of the race.
Some cope up very nicely but for some of them lost the race before start.
Some starts very slowly, some starts nicely but could not cope up with the pace
of the society and lost the track. so the pace of change and the action of
performance does vary from person to person. Whom to be blamed?
Those who are born in young generation with new uprooting of action are to
come on platform or those who had been born much before this generation,
27 | P a g e
traditional in nature, likes to work in the frame of the society. This conflict
always gives birth to new change in the values and ethics of society.
Situation adaptability is the solution of Generation Gap
The society is for to live in a perfect fashion and order. If anything goes wrong
the first and foremost effect always comes into the form of social disorder. So
what has to be done is to be converted into act rather preaching from the many
stages and ceremonies.
Generation gap is a menace to the society and often it bleed so badly that we
are looking place to save our heads. The person in the society or the family
always replaces each other with the actions, performance and activities.
Seldom have we found that the senior most member of our house, whom we
are not giving any importance, is coming up with very innovative idea. From
where does this idea comes from, it is all because of his experience or the
knowledge which he or she had gained in many years.
This is also true with the young minds also. We have gone through in many
nearby families where a young boy or girl try to help the family or suggest
something to the problem, he had been stopped by the elders immediately but
putting the comments, he is just a boy, his milk teeth are yet not broken, how
can he provide any solution to the society which he hardly seen and this how
the boy or the girl goes on in suffocating situations. When it blast it sound
much as the emotions, sentiments which had been inside are coming up to the
boiling point and the situation goes out of control.
We had been running the society in our own way but it is not true ever long.
The conflict in the family is not the boy is not following the father or the
daughter is not hearing the words of mother; rather it is that who will order and
who fill follow. It is hardly any situation of let go, or coolly follow the others
order and occasionally we do find in the family that the child is so afraid of his
own parent, he wants to talk the parents but he or she feel rather shy or afraid
28 | P a g e
of the parents. Some takes decade to come out of the shell and remain silent
performer throughout in his early days.
Just practice situation adaptability:
The best suggestive measure in these situations is to inculcate the situational
adaptability. One has to be open minded for the changes in the society. The
situations some time suits us and some time we have to adapt the situation. It
is very true with an example of cricket pitch. When you move to the other part
of the world, the situation and the climate is bit different, the pitch is rather
bouncy, one has to understand the situation and to score accordingly. In the
home town or in our own country the situation is totally favorable, the
conditions are rather familiar or the air is rather supportive where the level of
performance is rather easy and adaptive. It is only those who adjust
themselves in both the situations are rather applauded into the society for their
all round performances.
So situation is newer good or worst, it is just we, the perception or the
knowledge posses by the self make the difference. The more you are open in
nature, more you have zeal to adopt new and new technologies, it is a definite
situation may arise for you where the rate of success is bit more for you. It is
generalized in nature that if you wants more it has to be done now itself rather
waiting for the things to happen in favorable conditions.

with extraordinary caliber in drawing and he make up his mind to use this
quality as a source of his livelihood. With the help of his leg finger, he is
holding pencil, color brushes and making wonderful drawings. He is being
helped by his colleagues and now he owes a website through which he is
selling his painting. He is earning his bread and an inspiration for those who
think they dont have anything.
Moral of the story: limitation newer come across the brave heart.
Case II: Sandy, a mother of two young children was living happily with the
family. His husband was in army. A day she had been informed by the army
authority that his husband is being abducted and killed by the militants. Sandy
has two options to live a life full of sorrow and miseries or to come up from the
situation and life a life for her children. Sandy opt the second option, she is
now working a leading MNC and her two daughters are well settled and
married. She is also running a orphanage and sheltering 40 children along with
her settled family.
Moral of the story: if you look that your sorrow is smaller than other, you can
come out any worst situation.

Harmonious Development
Value education pattern leads to the harmonious development of
person. It is development of a perfect soul in a perfect atmosphere. It is
just reminding the self that these virtues are lying hidden in the self.
Value education is not merely limited to academics, rather than it
imbibes in person and helps him to stand even in adverse situation also.
Holistic approach
The concept of value education is approved by all because of its holistic
approach as such education is true at all times and all places.
Abstract ??
Rather than been very theoretical, value education is such an education
idea which is related with practical life style of human being. It is that
37 | P a g e
shared with the society but it can also include the knowledge, the
resources, the time and lastly the zeal to help others. We do find at
many occasion in spite of having all the resources the soul, the mind
newer permits to help other. So value based education is just training of
the mind to do charity and attain wisdom.
One should imbibe the value education in life as other essential
ingredients. After all it is our life and one must proud of what he or she
is. In short one can conclude that value education leads to ultimate goal
and one can become a perfect citizen for our nation.

Comment on this statement.
Chapter III
Self exploration as the process for value education
We all are acknowledged about the power of lence. If sun rays are centered
on the lence then it can burn the paper kept on other side. If the actual power
of water is known then the large amount of electricity can be generated with
hydropower. The focused attention of the guardians toward their wards, results
in endowment of good habits in it. All these examples explore the key point of
knowing originality! This is the main concept of value education.
The exploration of the self is the key thing. The beauty of the life is that we are
having wonderful technology of exploring the earth, moon and water but not
enough for a common man to know the self. We hardly work for it as it is a
matter of rare concern to us. It is not that we are lagging behind in the
technology rather we are afraid of the circumstances when we tries to explore.
The inner self is not filled with virtues. It also has the traces of pitfall and
failures. We are afraid of these failures. We have shielded it in behind the
memory walls and newer feel comfortable so that other can know about our
failure
What is thyself?
The question is of million dollars and the solution also lies where we have to
spend million more. This is a question which makes all the sages, saints, peer,
holy person to look for. They have realized it many ways and tries to preach it
out in most generalized format. The basic entity of the self lies behind several

sheaths. They are thoughts, feelings, striving and hopes, fear and fantasies
and attitude.

Famous psychologist Aden Murphy has said about self that the self is
something of which we are immediately aware. We think of it as the warn,
central, private region of our life. As such it plays a crucial part in our
consciousness ( a concept broader than self), in our personality ( a concept
broader than consciousness), in our organism (a concept broader than
personality). Thus it is some kind of core in our being

It is a perfect realization stage where one can see the godly virtues inside the

it took avatar into 4 pillars of diving self.
They are
Remember the Aham which is being used is not the aham (ego) but here we
are talking about the Aham (self ) i.e. the perfect soul.
Exploration of the self:
Lets try to find the way in which we can explore the self. It is matter of concern
for some of those who are hesitant starter. They need someone to come with
them for at least a distance from start. It is the real condition of the self where
one willing to start but the big question lies in front is what to start and when to
start? There is no definite book or templates are available for self exploration.
There are many theories and each lands up in the state of confusion and
mislead. Secondly which theory is correct and which leads to the desire result
is a matter of serious concern.
What we feel is to start the journey. The steps will come and let it be faced on
the basis of its priorities. Success and failure are the part of life and one should
44 | P a g e
not be afraid of failure. Perfectionist newer achieved big roles, so one must be
confident enough to start.

try to improve our thought process, character and behavior through actual self
exploration.
In nut shell we can say the self exploration is complete process, which one has
to go through with determination and patience. The success is definite but it is
a journey which took its own time to complete.
Virtues attained after getting the target:
The taste of success is always good. Think of the situation where you have
achieved the best out of a bunch, the moment when you win the race, the
instance when you won the lost battle, its moment of joy, happiness and
cheerfulness. These moments are really big in the sense, when you feel proud
of yourself. The moment you feel to live within entire life.
The success which come across after lots of efforts always leads to certain
inbuilt virtues i.e. determination, self confidence, enthusiasm, work hard etc.
The determination makes you more effective in dealing the adverse situations.
The self confidence can keep you live in unfavorable odds. The enthusiasm will
makes you to march ahead from others. The work hard ability will make to dig
the well hard to get the water. So in all these virtues will make you more agile
and effective to attain next in the life.

Odd things produce odd. The nature of the failure, mishap and untoward
makes the life stagnant. The situation becomes worse when it come up with
certain bleeds. The anger, anxiety, stress, dishearten and many more follows
with a small failure.
A common saying is it is not bad to get fall but it is worse when you denies to
stand up after fall. The common meaning is that it so happens when others
win the race but doesnt mean that we should not go for the race in future. It
may be the condition when the other was well equipped, the preparation at our
47 | P a g e
end was not good, and the conditions for our side were not favorable. It may
be a bad day but it insist one thing that keep on moving, no more dishearten
approach, no more remorse or the moment to keep on weep. It is the moment
to look after yourself, the strength which may lies in the self must be gathered
and hit the target with perfection.
Summary
The basic entity of the self lies behind several sheaths. They are
thoughts, feelings, striving and hopes, fear and fantasies and attitude.
Self exploration is a journey. Success and failure are the part of life and
one should not be afraid of failure rather look at a new opportunity at the
door step.
Abandoning greed, attachment, egoism, passion, arrogance, longing,
desires of wealth, name and fame, we ought to embrace faith,
prudence, devotion, and try to improve our thought process, character
and behavior through actual self exploration.

serious trouble. Happiness is the not the thing which we can go into the market
and purchase, it has to be searched out. The more you find the happiness; it
has to be making a part and parcel of life. How to explore the wonderful world
of happiness will be explained later.
Prosperity - A much needed morale booster of life
We do like to have prosperity bundled with the life from the God itself. If it is
there we tries to thank the God and we do not hesitate to curse the same when
we dont find it in ample amount in our life. Bodily requirements are there but
up to what extent is the matter of debate. The things can be used to make the
life cozy, beautify and more over it must be on red carpet. The high defined life
style is the only prosperity which we all are looking for. Our entire efforts are in
the same directions and the life style, body conscious approach is looks an
essential part of life.
Who says I do not need prosperity? One will be quiet joking if he says so. It
may be thing that he may not be looking for the worldly comfort; he may be
looking for the godly features prosperity. One can look the prosperity of the
Godman, it is just eye opening. Big and comfortable cars, the big ashrams and
the wonderful food on the dining table says yes prosperity is needed because it
provides the morale boost to do what so ever in life.
Happiness Vs Unhappiness:
Let us look around first what is true happiness? We seldom find that the people
living in miseries, having minimum resources for a normal life is happy. He is
contented with what he is having. He is cherished about the owning he have.
He is self sustained and he looks happy in real nature. It is not an artificial
happiness; it comes from the bottom of heart. It is happiness which one finds in
the life of Mahatma Gandhi. Before he becomes Mahatma, he is just running
here and there for his livelihood, earning money and helping the society in a
bounded fashion.
50 | P a g e
Just think when he becomes Mahatma, what he was having, a Dhoti, which
was half, a specs for vision, and a stick to walk. Still he was happiest man on
the earth. We proudly call him father of nation. Why? It is all because that the
happiness is not confined with resources. It is not grown on the branches of
wealth. It is not spread by putting costly perfumes, not by putting good
dresses.
Happiness is a state in which the one lives. It is the state of mind in which he or
she feels that they like it. It is immaterial whether that may be a thing worth of
some coins or may be one has to pay millions of dollars.
Happiness is the situation where there is no boundary, no more struggle
complete liberty from the mundane world. It is a pure isolation state which cant
be put into the words but it is matter of realization. Check yourself when you
feel happy, one doesnt need anything more than that.
Happiness
Immaterial of wealth
Cant be bought from market
Is a state of mind
Is a Moment to cheered about
Is complete libration from mundane world
Unhappiness is just a counterpart where all the distrust, failure and the loss is
there. The person is the same but the situation is just turned upside down. The
mind set or the like of the life is changed into unlike.
The same person who is part and parcel of life looks bad. Whether any change
has been done in the physical appearance of the person, absolutely NO? it is
just the game of mind where the vision is looking distracted. Unhappiness is
nothing but the disharmony with the life situation. The situation which was
governed by us under control is now in the shape of contradiction. This

Disharmony with the real life
Cornering yourself from the entire world
Both the situations are bit contrary. One wants to become prosperous but
doesnt have the competency to get it may be the one situation. In this situation
the inner conscious is always looking for more and more. It develops into a
tendency and ultimately a character. The thieves fells into these conditions.
The inner core knows about the self incompetency but still the state of mind
makes one to act. The effort in order to achieve prosperity is also important.
The sincere and dedicated efforts always pay off. It newer goes into vain and
fruited with wealth and health in the due course. Think of a person want to
become CEO but do not put efforts or just remembering the GOD hand, then it
is really hard for him to become so. The zeal to perform must be there followed
by the consistent effort then only the Everest can be conquered.

Criteria of Need: the need is a wonderful factor of life. Some needs buckets of
water to bath, where as for some have one bucket enough for some days.
Some eat pizza per day where are some find hardly bread which is not on daily
basis. So the need especially of physical requirement is very hard to
distinguish but with the normal living situation and the societal requirement is
varies from person to person.
Occasionally we added word greed with need, or keep an accumulation to get
the state of prosperity. Some had a opinion that if we not accumulate today,
what will be available in the needy situation. They just try to make their own
logics and try to confuse others with absurd reasons.
A True perspective of Happiness and Prosperity:
Question arises does we really need the things or it just for satisfaction of the
EGO? If the answer is yes then the efforts must be motivated with righteous
path to achieve the desired and if our innerself says that I had enough but if
comes to door then there is no harm to accumulate then the situation is
alarming.
It will give rise to a greed and later we found over self in the situation of
choking. Remember to much nectar may turn into poison. God has given us
many things, the two beautiful eyes, two perfect set of hand to perform
anything and everything, the pair of legs on which we can cover the entire
world, the perfect gray matter in the head to think and act rightly so what more
you need?
Saint Kabir rightly said,

Destiny only provides happiness and prosperity and one cant achieve
them in the lack of destiny. It is being quiet advice over here that the
man is making of his own destiny. All the circumstance changes when
the inner core is strong and healthy to deal any situation.
I will reduce my prosperity If I share. The answer is true if you look for
physical prosperity but if you think social and spiritual prosperity is
concerned it is just vice versa. The more you distribute, the more you
feel filled.

The person is same but his need has changed. He was living happy with two
times bread and butter. Now he is looking for little more the curd. Slowly when
he has hopes for the curd, he looks for ghee and this list is endless. The small
need develops into endless greed and the ninety-nine factor is making over
sleep restless.
Animal Vs Human needs:
The need of any animal is simple. An animal needs food for the stomach and
physical need for sustain identity. Have you seen animal accumulate anything
for tomorrow. There is a perfect rest once the need is full. There is a belief on
God, or belief in the self. Just think off the situation when a lion kills a pray. He
eats upto the hunger and newer tries to keep that half ate animal in refrigerator
or in his den for coming seasons. He just left it there itself for the other animals
to eat it up. One can raise question that it all because of animal
consciousness. It is not being developed up to an extent where he can think of
tomorrow. The animal consciousness is half baked thats why they never think
of tomorrow, another answer can rise in once mind.
If this consciousness is not being grown or perfect, we do belief this
consciousness is much better than the common mans human consciousness.
The human consciousness, the superior quality in all animals is full of greed,
lust, anger, mistrust and ultimately full of mental, physical and spiritual illness.
There are some basic needs of human being. Eat food, live in shelter, wear
clothes & family for sustenance. Still the need is endless. If having food for two
times then the menu is there for type of food. The pizza, burger may be from
Macdonald or pizza hut is the matter of debate. Having an ordinary rented
house for shelter will not be sufficient. It will convert into the need of own
house, then big house and so on. Clothes to protect the body develop into a
wardrobe full of clothes for each season, morning, evening, party time, night
sleep and so on. One can critic that it is human growth, why to question on

Relationship societal structure or open???
It is the matter of debater for laureates that human consciousness or basically
human being is developed from Darwin theory. It can also be a brain storming
session from intellectuals whether the structure of society is being needed or it
can be worked out in Jules and Freud opinion of open end society.
The current trends and the emergence of the gays and lesbians in the society
do looks so that we are looking for open end society. No more dedicated
relationship of man and women, no more need for the societal structure, no
rules and regulation. Life as it is owned by us than it can be of any end i.e.
man to man, woman to woman, man to animal and all permutations and
combinations are indicating the bears and bulls of human consciousness
sensex.
The greed for earning more, yeh dil mange more is the slogan of todays
lifestyle. More of what is not clearly understood by the human mind nor it is

Consciousness Definition:
If one tries to search consciousness in Wikipedia, he will find it as a subjective
experience, awareness or wakefulness or the excessive control system of
mind.
Conscious comes out from a Latin word conscious, which means having joint
knowledge with another, privy to, cognizant it. Schneider and Velmans (2007)
defines that anything that we are aware of at a given moment forms part of our
consciousness, making conscious experience at once the most familiar and
most mysterious aspect of our lives.
Consciousness, according to western science, has its root in the mind, which is
turn is seated in brain. The human brain, with its highly developed frontal
cortex, is divided into three distinct parts and includes the cerebrum,
cerebellum, and the medulla oblongata or stem. The latter is remnant of our
reptilian ancestry with the ocean as its original habitat.
We do come across by people by common saying, You will not understand my
point. It is not because one is not willing to hear but the level of understanding
or consciousness is different. The level of understanding platform may differ
from person to person. Some are aware of the situations and some needs to
be making them aware. On the other hand side you may find many who hardly
pay attention as they dont want to be aware.
Veda says they are in Supta awastha (unconscious sleepy condition). There
level of consciousness has not come out from the shell of animal conditions.
Nor they try to get out from it, where as some tries hard with continuous effort
and become more agile, vibrant and live wires. They are under Jagrat awastha
(state of awareness).
60 | P a g e
Human consciousness is the matter of debate from ages. In recent year, some
wonderful discoveries have lead to a convergence of material science and
spiritual wisdom. The German philosopher Friedrich Von Schelling (1775-1854)
wrotes:
61 | P a g e
Reality is the matter of conscious reality state where one can perceive only but
not conceive. John Pearce rightly said, Mans mind mirrors a universe that
mirrors mans mind. Imagination is the seed which grows along with the side
of reality plane. It may be or may not be true with the development of the
consciousness.
Understand and live in the harmony at all levels of Livings:
Our thoughts begin at random, our mind taking the first opening before it.
Perceiving a false route, it retraces the steps, taking another direction. By a
kind of artificial selection we perfect our thought substantially, making it more
logical as we go along. With enough experience, the brain comes to a state of
complete understanding.
The understanding of the self to get attained a stage of perfection and definite
knowledge of about the self and the society. It is the evolution of cosmis
consciousness. The term evolved by Canadian psychologist Richard M. Bucke.
It is a transpersonal mode of consciousness, awareness of the universal mind
and ones unity with it. Pt. Shriram Sharma rightly quoted, That this is the
moment to arouse collective consciousness. The consciousness of the group,
the mass has to be alleviated to bring the righteous atmosphere on the earth.
Collective consciousness:
The consciousness moves around in the state of duality i.e. the nature of
animal or divine. It is only we what we perceive through our sense comes to
the surface and the landed into the consciousness which may be called as
Demon or Devta (Godliness). The power of collective consciousness is
immense. It can change the movement of the sea, or it can change the
direction of an army marching ahead. The problem is to rightly channelize it in
righteous direction. History proves that great movements emerges in any area
emerge from a collective consciousness.

Righteous understanding:
It is not to develop the understanding of the self is being talking about, it is just
beyond that. The understanding of the circumstances, environment, with other
living creatures is also being important. The happiness of the self is to move
beyond and to attain the state of mutual happiness. The condition where it is
not the state of survival of the fittest is talked about but much broader to give
condition in which the other can also sustain.
It is the understanding much beyond the periphery of self prosperity. The
mutual prosperity is the matter of action. The prosperity of the family, society
and ultimate nation is in view then only one can say that the real understanding
is followed.
In nut shell it is a transformation of thought, emotions, actions and ultimately
landing into the righteous understanding. The perfect face of human being is
such that it will remain as a pride for entire cosmos not as a curse for entire
humanity.

society.
A pleasing combination of elements in a whole: color harmony; the order
and harmony of the universe. This definition says the harmony can be
visualize between the chemical element. The world consist of five tatva (basic
elements) sky, water, fire, mud and air. The constituents are in the definite
67 | P a g e
stage thats why we see the sky blue, the water blue, the sun red and so on. If
any disarrangement happen in this combination then the situation on the earth
may differ in nature.
The sun, the moon, the entire cosmos is in harmony with the nature. The sun
rises in the morning, gives light, energy to all and sets in the west. This is a
perfect sun cycle continuous in nature without any leave or resentments.
The word harmony also finds its echoes in the world of music. Harmony in
music is the study of the progression, structure, composition and usage of
chords. The sound of two or more musical notes at the same time, which is
pleasing to the ears, is called harmony. Rhythm, melody and harmony are
elements of music. The sound of Casio and octopod if synchronized to each
other then we do says that the music is soothing in nature and when there is
so cohesion or in horizon in nature, we do complains of the inaudible music or
too loud music.
In music, the sound of two or more notes heard simultaneously. In a narrower
sense harmony refers to the extensively developed system of chords and the
rules that govern relations between them in Western music. Harmony has
always existed as the "vertical" (the relationship between simultaneous melodic
lines) aspect of older music that is primarily contrapuntal; the rules of
counterpoint are intended to control consonance and dissonance, which are
fundamental aspects of harmony.
Perception of harmony:
Harmony is based on consonance. In psychology it can be continuous
variable. It can vary on three reasons:
68 | P a g e
Harmony
with
family
and society
Harmony
with the Self
Harmony
with Nature
and cosmos
Harmony within:
The Harmony within will give birth to happiness and cheerfulness. Harmony
between your present personality and the goals of your own soul will make you
always on the toes because the origin of this within yourself . The work you do,
the activities you do, as well as all the goals you strive to achieve in life need to
be in harmony with your very own soul's. this can be easily achieved through
regular self introspection and self refinement.
Harmony with the self:
It is the matter of equilibrium with the self. The I, the identity of a person
occasionally find disturbed or not upto the mark. The situation is sometimes
that the self is being more than the anything in the word and it is being
substituted in normal life as ego of I. I am the winner, I am the boss and this I
gives rise to many identical and psychological disorders. The concept of I is
69 | P a g e
not bad for self elevation but upto a limit is the best thing. So in order to make
the complete harmony of the self is crucial in nature but attainable.
Harmony with the society:
Societal harmony was originated in China. This was the perfect fusion of
socialism, democracy and harmony. It is the conditions in which the I must be
correlated with the society in all effective manners. The various segments of
the society must be harmonized to attain a perfect and sustainable society.
India is the greatest example of Unity in diversity. The social, economical,
racial and status imbalance in the society is clearly visible but the unity among
them on the basis of religion, belief binds them in all conditions.
Harmony with nature:
Minoru Mori rightly quoted that, The world has entered a new era, evolving
from an industrial into a knowledge-based society, and into a society that wants
to live in harmony with nature. The basic of human existence is coherence
with the nature. The more the bond between human being and nature was
strong the society was best in nature and now the vice versa is the present
scenario.
It is the urge from common mans that Musicians must make music, artists
must paint, and poets must write if they are to be ultimately at peace with
themselves. What human beings can be, they must be. They must be true to
their own nature. A nature of human being is like the smaller version of worldly
nature i.e. to give, to offer everything and anything to all living creatures.
Harmony with cosmos:
Pythagoras was the first person to call the universe a kosmos. The Greek
term, which is the root of the word cosmetic, refers to an equal presence of
order and beauty. The concept of human being to live in harmony with cosmos
is not new. Many theories and inventions have been done in this context and
the origin of human being, various living and non living creatures are worked
out on the principle of survival of fittest, theory of best fit in society and so on.

Summary:
Harmony has originated from the Greek word harmona which means "to fast
or join".
Classification of harmony lies with the self, with the family, with the society, with
the nature and with the cosmos.
One has to understand the better relationship with all the important factors of
the society i.e. the individual, the family, society and importantly the nature.

of history.

The pyramid of life
The real life of the self is changed into the reel life. It is much more like the
actors on the celluloid where they are getting paid to express their emotions
and playing with the sentiments of the public. The real life is very much
different for the same actor or actress who showed the higher standards of
ethics and morality on screen will be highly indulged in the malpractices in
actual life. The greed, lust and hatred are the part and parcel for them and still
the crowd worship them like a living GOD.
This duality in the personality stops one to think and act bigger. The Self is
much beyond the explanations. The higher the self, the purer it becomes
resulting into the broader-self merges with cosmic consciousness and the
73 | P a g e
whole world becomes our acting stage, the canvass of life. The purification of
the self is a time taking process. This can be performed with the help of various
Sadhanas (ritual practices), scriptures and blessings of GOD.
The concept of Body and the self ( I ):
The physical sheath which moves around here and there, the hands to perform
eating, riding bikes, playing cards all consist of human body. The various
sensory organs show that the body does counts. But the thing is that who
moves the body. We often say that I am tired, now the question is who is tired,
the body or the Self.
We often watched TV, the daily soap box to entertain the self, the loving music,
the beautiful nature, the delicious food, who is eating in this situation. Is it the
body or the something which governs all the body activities? It is the decision
taken by I not by the legs.
Similarly the pleasure, pain, sorrow and happiness are the activities which are
govern by the I only not by the body. The emotions, sentiments and the
outburst are all the activities of I not the body. So the two different identities
lies in the same physical sheath i.e. the body and the Self (I).
Life is not confined with self. The self usually relates with the one self and if
little more is permissible then it is with the family members. The acquaintance
of the resources, wealth and property for the self makes the life little lost in the
process. The charm, charisma and the magic fell down somewhere in this
entire journey of accumulation of materialistic belongings. The mind has been
engaged in making all sorts of permutations and combinations to achieve the
set targets at any cost. In this entire process who is the real looser. The answer
remains the same as it is the self.
The Demands of the body:
74 | P a g e

We can also call the self is looking for the mental and spiritual
needs where as the body looks for the physical needs.

The need gives birth to the activities. The physical need produces physical
activities likes eating, drinking, digesting, and breathing and so on. Contrary
the Mental needs produces mental activities thinking, dreaming, analyzing,
understanding etc.
Activities involve around the body:
The human body consist of five matters i.e. ether, water, air, earth and fire. The
Taittiriya upnishada (2.1 2.5) says the five sheaths of a person starting from
the gross level of the five great elements are:
The self has given rise to the space, from space, air, from air, fire, from fire the
water and from the water the earth came into existence. And from the earth,
the plants, food and then man and further in the man the self (atman)
consisting of life breadth and this cycle goes on...
The activities of the body is to take breath, to digest the food, the blood flow in
the body, the heart beat, the pulse all goes on without getting instructions from
some external entity. As all these activities are part and parcel of body
existence. These are elementary in nature and by natural process these goes
on inside the body and when this is not working or functioning in the righteous
77 | P a g e
Thinking: The art to remember the things, the art of recalling from the brain or
the activity related with contemplation. To think about the situation, activity or a
thought is the art of thinking. Thinking can be in both ways positive thinking
and negative thinking
o The positive thinking: to get on the situation in right set of mind and act
accordingly. The righteous step to be taken even if the situation is worst in
condition. The positive mode of thinking fills the self with positive energy,
emotions and strength to deal the situation handsomely. The positive
psychology is the new segment in the field of positive psychology.
o The negative thinking: the impact of negative thoughts and emotions gives
rise to a rusted personality. Negative attitude will always be a painful journey,
which is both for the self and also for the person around or dependent on you.
That is a personality of a person full of sadness and sorrow.
The dreaming: in the sleep the unconscious and the conscious mind both
goes on thinking, it arise a pattern of imagination in the mind. It evolves the
dream state where usually we find the suppressed, mostly wanted activities
come to the surface of the mind and one try to feel it in the state of dream.
78 | P a g e
The analyzing: it is the critical mind activity in which the current situation goes
on and a healthy view is generated to deal the situation. It is a matter of debate
whether it is a healthy analyzing or the action of critics.
The imagination pattern: occasionally the mind has a tendency to get the
imagination of the worldly thing which may exist and some times which may
not exist. The imagination is just like the Xerox of some activities, person or
situation. The impact may lies in the memory and when we met such situation,
person or activity the imagination helps to get rid or to provide the solution.

matter of belief and sometimes blindly belief. But what about the child or the
young adult who has been upcoming in the environment of hitech, the next
generation people. They needs facts, reason why to belief?
The Jeev (body), Jagat (world) and Ishwar (God):
The God, (Ishwara) is subtler than the subtle and It is farther than the farthest;
It is nearer than the nearest wherein all the worlds are hidden. It is big,
unthinkable, Omnipotent and omniscient in nature. It is indicated in a variety of
ways both at the level of jiva and also jagat.
The mandakopnishada says, At the level of the jiva, Ishwara is not the jiva
comprising of different parts such as jnanendriyas, karmendriyas, etc. It is not
the breath, not mind, pure, living in the whole body with his heart as the seat. the inner most sheath. However, Ishwara is the very source from which all
came to existence, the prana, the mind, all sense organs and organs of action,
all five great elements, different worlds, the Sun, moon, etc. He is the life,
speech, mind, reality, immortality. So, Brahman or Ishwara is like that point
where all the nerves meet like the spokes of a chariot wheel in the hub within
the
heart-the
epi-centre
of
everything.
Vedas says, From the point of the Jagat, It is that where the sun does not
shine, not the moon, stars, lightening, fire. It shines all alone and because of
which all this (idam) shines forth. This Brahman is everywhere - in front, at the
back, below, above, etc. Brahman indicated as eternal, the lord, all-pervading,
imperishable, that which is hidden in all beings, effulgent, formless, part less
Omni-sentient, all-wise and light of all lights.

greet someone comes only after the recognition. To care for the needy or ill
person comes after the recognition is the activity of fulfillment. So all these
activities are interdependent and depend upon the chain reaction.

Chapter Eight
Understanding Myself
86 | P a g e
The concept of the Self and the body is being talked in the previous chapter.
The various needs, activities is being worked out to know the self. Question is
quiet alarming, many fails to answer, what am I? Is it confined with the body or
some relationship with mind and soul? Some come across with the identity of
the self with the cosmos as an instrument. Some says that it is beyond the
human limit to understand the self i.e. myself. Lets try to focus on the need of
understanding myself.
Some haunting questions go around the mind regularly. They are
1. Who am i?
2. What for I am here?
3. What is my ultimate target ?
4. How can I achieve it ?
5. Is it within the reach or not?
6. The progress of other is why so fast?
7. If I failed in achieving the target what the other will say?
8. The expectations of my parents, family members are so high. I
know I am not capable of to achieve them but I have to get it at
any cost. How ?
9. Where is the real peace of mind? How to get it in this life?
10. God! I definitely doubt on his existence. He newer turns up to help me
when I need him most. The existence of God is baseless.
At many times we do feel these questions are just wandering around and we
do not find any clear answer to these questions. The answers which we get
from round the world mostly are not applicable for all or may be true for
someone in rare cases. Still we do try to find the solution in the prescribed
format and ultimately land up no where. The answer is simple but true that
every soul is potential divine; its the matter of its manifestation in reality. So
when one is divine and having godly attributes how the attribute of can other
may fit in.
87 | P a g e
It means either our search is wrong or we are looking the solution in the wrong
place. Then where to search and what to search is the big question. The
answer lies in understanding thyself.
Concept of myself:
When you look around yourself what are things which makes that you are?
88 | P a g e
They had been thinking the same continuously and ultimate the character
becomes so. So is it myself is confined with the thought, let us try to find the
answer.
Is Myself is a thought?
Thoughts come and go in this world. The life just revolves around the thought
patterns. Many feels they have achieved what they are looking for and many
keep on complaining. It looks so that it is a process which keeps us always on
toes.
Lord Buddha rightly said, We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what
we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
The wonderful Shakespeare said that the thoughts are free. A man is what
he thinks all day round says Ralph Emerson.
Wonderful thoughts always filled the mind with righteous spirit and our actions
become a model for others. We do find at many occasions we are filled with
such wonderful thoughts that we hardly had read about it, but at a particular
moment it comes out from our mouth as a perfect laureate. Have you ever
thought about it? The sentences, references which have never been read out
or told by someone are making applaud in audience. It is merely a coincidence
or a definite factor.
This makes some sense that the thought makes an impact on life. For some it
is just an idea, or a ray of light for existence, sustainment or for entire life. The
thoughts are wave pattern which exists eternal in this world. The packets travel
across the world and passes out through this physical body many times in a
day. They are having tremendous power. We have studied in physics that like
things attract like, so is the case of thoughts.
When you are in a good mood, the thoughts which may appear in those
conditions will be like:
1. I am proud what I am
2. I must help someone at least once in a life
89 | P a g e
What the difference that I am making in this world? Is it any difference if I dont
exist.
Run away from the situation, from house or from the society, this will end the
situation
There is no hope for existence and God has also turned off the phone.
The living conditions are worst and how to life in this world, which is already a
hell.
Now these questions come and go as per situation. This means it makes an
impact on the self but not the self. The thought pattern can or cant govern the
self. This means the periphery of thyself is beyond the thought clutches.
Myself is bigger than thought pattern (vicharna).
The pure self I is surrounded by many layers. The vicharna is one among
them. Sometimes we do feel that our actions are governed by our thoughts
and many times we do hardly pay any attention to our thoughts.
Real Cases :
Case 1:
Ram has been passing through the hard phase. They had just returned from
Lanka after conquering Ravana. The washer man words are still fresh in his
mind. What washer man was saying to his wife that I am not Rama, who can
90 | P a g e
keep his wife who is being eloped with Ravana from last many years. The
situation of lord Rama is being tough. The mind pattern is persisting for those
things which are not good for the family, his wife Seeta but the society is on the
other hand side. The soul wants that the Ram should not go through his
thought pattern but the mind is playing other game. Now the question is what
to do? Whom to give preference the soul or the mind?
Case 2:
The Nancy is sitting in the examination room. The paper is tough and the
answers are just slipping from mind. The student next to her is ready to give
hints or copies for cheating but the inner core says no. the mind says that you
have to pass the exam or not. Do it, no one is watching, the teacher is just
outside. The soul says, no you cant do cheating. You are a good students
throughout the life. You have never done this before. Why do degrade yourself
by doing silly things. This dilemma occurs in many minds and then only we
realize that we are bigger than thoughts.
Myself is bigger than imagination:
At many time we see dreams. Some become true and we do feel lucky and
occasionally it wont and we do feel bad. The dreams are nothing but our
imagination mirror image. It means that every imagination makes an impact.
Directly on the mind than it goes to conscious mind and indirect impact or
suppressed or not fulfilled partial fulfilled goes to unconscious where it keeps
on in the suppressed mode till the situation arises.
Our mind is being going through many situations in the same time. Just thing
of the situation, when your boss is explaining some situation and your mind is
in cricket match, whether Sachin has completed the century or not. The wife is
asking for something and your mind is wandering in the bachelor party. So we
do come across with the mind set in two platforms. The imagination factor
depends upon the situation. If the situation if favorable, everything is
accordingly and the conditions are more or less good then the imagination to
conquer the world also appear in mind. The imagination makes a definite
91 | P a g e
impact and it is just like a Xerox machine, which imprints everything that comes
to its surface, maybe it is a white page.
Myself is bigger than Character (Charitra)
Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.
We all talk about the value of character. In this modern world, the pure
materialistic world where every things needs change, the fast ongoing life is
looking for change in every field may be job, may be the house and may be
with the life partner. The live in relationship, the single motherhood, the
increasing divorce cases all shows that character is the thing which is hardly of
the talk but to practice. It is tough but it can be maintain if one feel so.
The character degradation is creating lots of problem in this real life. The boys
and girls hardly attained the adolescence are engaging themselves in the sex
activities and the cases of abortion are alarmingly increasing. The knowledge
exposure is the main culprit behind these situations. The print and electronic
media, the world of internet and many flooding channels available on DTH
makes the life nothing but hell.
In many houses we do find that the parents are bit worried about the up
growing children. Their habits, involvement and the relationship is a real
concern for most of the families. But one thing is clear that the atmosphere of
the house also makes a big difference in the character of individual. More the
emphasis on values, more committed the parents then there is less possibility
of the children to go wavered.
92 | P a g e
It is true that the character gives us recognition in the society. The more you
grow wealthier or become societal icon; people want to know more and more
about you. It is the time where you have to keep vigilance on your thoughts,
emotions and sentiments. So the thyself is much bigger than character which
is merely a characteristics.
93 | P a g e
scolded you, when you have not achieved first position in the class, in spite of
the best efforts the mother had made.
High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.
This is true that expectation makes the way for success. More the person is
elevated towards finding the goal, the more the success rate and possibilities
of the success are there. The expectations and the desire are two different
sides of the same coin. The desire starts and grooms around the body the
expectation flourish around the self I.
Desire and expectation the basic difference:
Napoleon Hill rightly quoted, Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not
a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.
This is quiet true, if you look around and see the life styles of successful
person in around the society, you may find a great desire to attain the things in
them. The list of desire is endless. Once a desire is fulfilled the second pop up
and this goes on like a waves of sea coming and going from and to the shore.
Desires are many in nature.

95 | P a g e
In all one can say that the myself, the pure blessed soul is the key on which
the entire revolves. The relations mother, father, bros and siss are revolving
around the self. One must be in harmony with all of them in order to get
success and to become a good son, daughter, brother or sister in the family
and larger perspective is society.
Thyself and the sensual pleasure
When we look around we do find that the world is made up of even and odd
things. The man and woman, the like and dislikes all are made for each other.
The beauty in nature is to be appreciated, there is nothing wrong in that.
Occasionally we say:
1. Sound (dhwani)
2. Touch ( sparsh)
3. Form (roop)
4. Taste (Ras)
5. odor (Gandha).
The five senses are hearing, tactile perception, vision, taste, and smell
commonly understandable by all. Tanmatras makes us to perceive the thing
accordingly. It all the sensual organs are used in a definite state then the
societal acceptance is definite there. It all goes wrong when we tries to use it
more than it required or we tries to indulge it in such cases that it is hard to get
liberated in that conditions from these sensational pleasure.
Sensual pleasures when crosses limit, it give rise to
96 | P a g e
Lack of confidence: when one come across or drained a resource naturally the
availability of any resource comes to end. Then the result is frustration. This
only gives rise to lack of confidence to handle any situation may be so simple
in nature it looks.
Conflict: to do a thing or not is the real conflict. This situation becomes worse
when the resources are in limited condition.
personality doomed.
Stressful mental condition: once the situation goes out of hand, the mental
peace and joy goes out. It is replaced with the unhappiness of the wind, giving
birth to stress and tension.
Condition of Failure: the stress condition arises with the mental condition goes
in worst condition. the efforts will land up into the condition of failure. The world
looks most unpopular place and often the people committed suicide in this
extreme situations.
Liberation from sensual pleasures:
The concept of the self is much based on the sensual pleasure but it is not
confined with its nature. The complete liberation from this condition is the realty
of the self I. The sensual pleasure of roop, ras, gandha, sparsh and dhwani
are common in nature and we do find many examples where the tanmatras
play a prominent role.
Think of a situation when you go into the party in the best restaurant of your
area. The good food is being served to you. The five senses from the body
(sound from the ear, the touch from the skin, view from the eyes, and taste
from the mouth and smell from the nose) all are driven us to get involved into
sensual pleasures. We knows it that over eating may lead to indigestion or on
bed but still we tries to satisfy one tanmatra. In spite of knowing that the
sensation is temporary in nature we try to engulf as much as we can.
This is all because we are being bonded with sensual pleasure. We know the
condition of sex (kam), if it is in balanced form it is necessary to carry out the
vansh (family). The sensual pleasure, if it is in limit then it is good for the
97 | P a g e
person, family and for the society also. Once it goes out of control, or too much
involvement or mentally we are just thinking of it every time then it will leads to
health problems, psychological deficiencies and leads to the situation for social
anarchy. For this only the Indian religion has set up the marriage ceremony, to
keep the sex under control, within limit and restricted to one only.
Still the societal changes are making the relationship open, free from
bondages and this only resulting into stress, tension and failures which is keep
on increasing. The question is what to do, whom to blame or the key action
guideline should be set up by whom.
Understanding myself properly:
To understand the self is never easy but still one try to understand it in
harmonized with the nature. The desire, expectation and the thoughts must be
kept under control to get over the things. The key thing is natural acceptance.
We know it how much we can digest, how much we can shoulder the weight.
So it is the key between all success and failure story to know the mental,
physical and emotional limits.
The common factors in understanding the myself are
1. Realize the correct situation: one should not be afraid of accessing the real
situation what so ever it may be. The problem arises when we try to under
estimate the situation. The best part is left out and the remainder is what we
deal with. So the correct analysis of situation is the first thing to get a better
understanding of the myself.
2. Understanding the Limits of self: once the real situation is being assessed
then understanding the self is not difficult. One knows what his limits are and
what he cant do. So it is easy to move ahead ones the situational adaptability
is there. It is hard to get done when one does not admit of the limits. Now the
solution lies into your own hand. What you have to do is to overcome delimits
and get the things done and become a better citizen of the society.

Harmony within the family
Concept of Family
Social science revolves around the concept of family. It is also known as family
management. The family is regarded as major social institution or a group of
member residing in the same premises and having a locus of much of persons
social activity. It is also defined as a social unit created by blood, marriage or

nurturing they grow in perfect fashion. When both parents agree on the kind of
behavior that they want from their children, it adds authority, and thus can be
instilled in a better way. In a single parenthood the father or mother doesnt
make justifications what they actually not.
A Sense of Consistency: When children grow up in a nuclear family, they get
a sense consistency, especially when it also includes closeness with other
members of the family such as grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins.
This enables them to feel as if they are a part of a wider whole, particularly
during traditional get-togethers. This provides a strong foundation to their roots,

Learning Skills: In a nuclear family, children usually get far more extensive
training in life skills. For instance, mothers usually teach their children
relationship skills, like emotional response skills and how to have smooth
relations with others, while fathers, in general, teach their children handy work
skills and sports skills, like giving proper shape to the house or playing cricket,
as well as how to deal with the world outside in perfect style.

Anthony Douglas has rightly quoted that, Some of the biggest challenges in
relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order
to get something. They're trying to find someone who's going to make them
feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your
relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.
The family structure
In most the family cases we do find that they are so netted together we are
surprised and try to find the glue. What makes them so strongly bonded. We
seldom hear the problems among them. The family looks a perfect world. The
reasons behind these families are trust, faith, respect, love, affection, respect
are the key attributes.

The view of trust and its impact on our relationship we often make two
mistakes:
The First mistake
106 | P a g e
107 | P a g e
trust earned
trust learned
Each has it's own separate and unique way of deterring fear-or mistrust, and
each has its own unique way of promoting greater trust.
Trust Earned
To understand how we can earn trust, it can be comprised of three elements
i.e. understanding, honesty and caring. These three makes the way to earn the
trust in family.
Honesty: In earning trust from others about our honesty, often we will need to
choose between the benefits of being trusted and benefits of trick, such as
personal pleasures, recognition, and validation. To earn greater trust we
sometimes may find it necessary to be more transparent and open to all. The
more mistakes, selfishness, and pride we hide from others, the more we invite
their mistrust. So open in nature and always try to help other with open heart
will always make a way to be favorite of all.
Caring: Some can disagree with the idea that being valued and loved is an
essential factor in creating and maintaining a loving and trusting relationship. If
we are to develop and maintain this kind of flourishing relationship we must
earn trust from those who need our love and caring, and those we depend on
for this love and caring. Such trust can only come from honest and sincere
caring and appreciation. Any attempt to create an insincere impression of
caring and appreciation, where real caring and appreciation do not truly exist,
will eventually revolt and destroy any trust that might have already existed.
108 | P a g e
Trust Learned
Some human behaviorists believe that inability to trust is linked to one of two
beliefs:
First belief - Painful Experience: If we have experienced emotional pain
which we believe another person has caused, and if we believe-even if this
belief is unconscious-that we are still vulnerable to emotional pain, we will likely
find it quite difficult to trust. Especially in the cases of love, war and
occasionally in the family we do find people who dont have any trust on
anyone in the family. It is all because their trust has been robbed in middle with
whom, especially by the person whom they trusted most.
Second belief- Failure to Believe In Our Own Powers: Some family
therapists believe that certain types of mistrust are, in reality, fear of being hurt.
Some believe that this mistrust is a defense against emotional pain. They will
tell you that the person who has found a way to a) resist or avoid emotional
pain, or b) rebound from emotional pain, is less likely to fear emotional pain.
This person is, therefore, more likely to trust. The person who has gained
greater potentiality has learned from experience that a well-developed sense of
overcoming pain not only can reduce the severity but can also reduce its
frequency. In either case, he will have less need to protect himself, less need
to fear, and less need to mistrust.
Present society most mistrusted one:
The word trust looks missing from the society in present scenario. The belief so
called the trust in the relationships looks dried up. The current society looks
based on mistrust and misleading. The father is having hardly belief on his son
for the business, the boss hardly trusts the colleagues, the shopkeeper hardly
trusts the employee and so on. The scene looks like a situation of disorder,
disbelief and generating lots of fuss over major area of society.
The countrymen are making lots of blunder for the sake of money, the
politicians are engaged in making money on the cost of trust, the businessman
are leading towards the state of saturation of disbelief. This is really a matter of
109 | P a g e
concern for the common man. Whom to belief and whom to not is a real
dilemma. The situation is going to worst as the machine is replacing the man in
many cases.
This uncertainty was not at all there in almost 5 to 6 decades before. The
people hardly put up locks in their houses. There was an environment of trust
and belief everywhere in the society. The theft, vandalism, stealing and robbery
were rare in case and the sentences which were awarded during that time
were really very hard. People are afraid of doing crime. Now in present case if
you go through the morning newspaper, nearly half of it is filled with cases of
robbery, fraud or any in human activities. The situation is next to impossible to
live for a common and sincere man. Still the society is going on looking for the
level of justice at different level. The concept of judiciary must be clearly
understood so as to perform well in society. The major mistrust in society is
leading us many bleeds. It nut shell they are:
Trusting a stranger next to impossible: Common belief or one can call a
trend in the society is that we hardly belief the stranger. The person whom we
doesnt is the person of mistrust thats the common perception of society. We
never care what about the person, his abilities, his virtues, his responsibilities.
We always presume that the strangers are not worthy and if one trust them
they will make you fool. It may be true for some of them who had been
deceived by strangers but one result is not the theorem.
Trusting a fellow of loose character: it is true that the person having loose
character is hard to trust but have you ever thought that the why the person
become like this. The situation, the environment enforces him to become like
that or voluntary he feels into the situation. In most of the situations we do find
them that hereditary they were good but with the demand of the society or by
the circumstances around make them downtrodden. The various unsocial
activities are making them a curse for the society.
110 | P a g e
Do not trust blindly on any one: it is true that never follow any one blindly,
just see the circumstances, the good and the bad of the fellow and then trust
him. It also means we are not trusting on our own feelings, sentiments and
emotions. Trust always makes the way to feel better and comfortable with other
so that all the personal and social moments can be shared with other one.
Trusting the one, will make you fool: this is rather making your own
capability questionable. You are not having faith on yourself, or you do not trust
the self, hence these situations are arises. When you trust someone, firstly you
try to test him or her in your own way. Whether he is merely a spectator or a
helping hand in need, then only you make the decision. So always test the
fellow and then trust the man.
Respect for all : If someone wants to clarify the respect is that, the more
respect you give to other if reflects the same for you and when you become
miser in that, it also follows you.
It comes out from the core of heart, rather than borrowing It from market.
Just check out the things with your attributes that
1. How much the respect you give to others
2. Do you give respect in order to get the things back
3. Do you feel to give respect or just a social curtsey?
4. How much respect you give to your elders and if to youngers?
The respect comes out only from Shraddha( core of inner self, devotion) not by
fear. The fear (bhay) is not a shraddha but it is curtsey or ceremonious
responsibilty which we have to follow in order to live in the society. The good
example is the wife, She knows it that she has to follow her husband so that to
life a happy and cool life. If it comes out from the inner core than it will be pure
shraddha not routine job of married life.
This usually comes when we enter the temple, by seeing Goddesses or any
deity we just tries to bow our head. It is spontaneous; no more compulsion on
enforcement is there. It comes out naturally. Think of a situation when you met
111 | P a g e
best of your teacher, the shraddha, the inner core devotion makes you to touch
his feet. It is not the big difference for him, whether you touches his feet or not
but for you it is just presenting your inner emotions and attachment with the
particular teacher.
Respect evaluation of other
We do move into the society and come across many. We just check them or
evaluate them as per their performance, virtues, money or by luxury. Some
time we evaluate rightly about the other and feel happy whether on other hand
when this evaluation is under estimation or over estimation we feels
embarrassed.
Over estimation the situation: when we come across and estimate the other
without knowing the reality. Think of a situation when you try to throw a party
and over estimated the guest. The moment was rather embarrassing as the
number of guest appear less, the food is supposed to waste, the money which
spend more and ultimately the words from colleagues, wife or financier.
Under estimation the situation: we do try to estimate the thing on their look,
appearances also. Occasionally we try to under estimate the fellow sitting on
the other side of table. We try to pretend over smarter, more knowledgeable in
the world without knowing the depth of other and when the other discloses the
card it was really an embarrassing moment.
Jackie Robinson said that, I'm not concerned with your liking or disliking me
.All I ask is that you respect me as a human being.
Always respect yourself
Confucius rightly putted that Respect yourself and others will respect you. If
you want to be respected, you must respect yourself. Remember to respect
yourself is the key. We often feel dishearten, goes into trauma of not having the
things but one must be clear enough what are things he is owning? The real
112 | P a g e
treasure is hidden behind this physical sheath, we are the fools who disown
themselves by saying that this is lacking and that is not available to us.
Remember the beauty of the body is:
the brain not to bargain but to gain the gravity of the self,
the eyes to watch the wealth of God not to give weird look
the ear to hear the music of nature but not for hearing the bad deeds
The mouth to taste the ultimate, but not to indulge in creating troubles.
This all comes by giving respect to the self. To understand the reality and the
power of the self will make you wealthier day by day and this wealth is being
accumulated by you not by ancestor wealth.
Basic of Respect
The respect in all is the same but if you classify on the entities it usually differ
in three conditions. They are
113 | P a g e
Situation 2: you come across the situation where you are crossing the road, a
lady old in age is also trying to cross the road but she is not able to do it so,
then you tries to help her by hodling her hand and her eyes says more than the
words. What is this the opposite sex? no the age.
Situation 3: the tourist in the park is from foreign country we try to give him
information may be irrelevant in nature but still we try to help it what is it? Is it a
respect for the country or the color of the skin?
Situation 4: standing in a queue of the tickets for reservation, a big and hefty
fellow try to enforce himself into the queue. The first option is not to allow him
into the queue but his physique makes him give space without expressing the
emotion. Is it a respect of mankind or the power of muscles?
Paying attention vs Respect
The respect of the body is questionable in the family scenario. Just check it out
yourself how many times have you given respect to your wife sentiments
without shouting? How many times you have given respect to your kids
sentiments and emotions? The answer must be true in nature says the story.
We hardly fell ears on the person who is having less muscles power than us or
who are dependent on us must not own respect is our nature.
The grown up children in spite of good sanskars hardly listen the parents
words, or give respect to buaji, masiji. Why it is so? They do feel that paying
attention to the old stories or the old fashion statements are not upto their
status. Contrary in some house the respect of the elders as well as for the
younger one remains the same. It all starts from the older member of the
house to the down. The more the respect you give to all the more the
possibility of a good and well netted family.
Respect of Belief:
114 | P a g e
In many cases it turns into matter of serious debate and occasionally turns into
riots whether my belief is better than yours. We often feel so that the best of
the belief is ours and rest is just not up to the mark.
This belief turns to be matter of debate by other, when they try to justify
themselves. In this exchange of opinions the sentiment is shaken and turns
into the situation of anger, anxiety or ultimate riots in many cases which takes
the life also. Remember how can one belief is greater than the human life.
Every religion, every sects says that human being is a living god. How one god
can take the other god life is the matter of concern.
Respect of Resources:
Just look into the society in which you have grown up the situation really
changes dramatically when a member belongs to higher social orders enters
your house. It looks so that the entire house is under stir. The works, activities
and even the life looks halted when a senior member of the society, the person
owning many resources, wealthy person came to our house, we tries to show
him all the hospitality which we can. Is it a respect of his social status in the
society or the respect for the wealth?
We may have come across a situation when any NRI member of our family
usually visited us. The love affection and the regards all come overwhelmingly.
Why? This respect is in order to get the foreign things back or a matter of real
love and affections? We know the answer better ourselves.
Justice at all level irrespective of position in family
Justice is the word usually we hear in case of some mistrust, mislead or
forgery. It is the word which everyone looks for once or twice in life. This
carries different meanings in different context. At the individual level, it is a
basic quality or righteous virtue of a good person. Aristotle called it practice of
virtue towards all living beings. Mahatma Gandhi called it Samta ka bhav with
all. In other words it is being fair in all social dealings, giving others what is
115 | P a g e
their due, not depriving anyone of his or her social right or property, reward or
recognition, respecting the basic human rights and social and personal liberties
of others, meeting valid demands others have on us, etc.
The other use of this word is in the area of legal prosecution. Law and justice is
a formal procedure followed by law courts for adjusting conflicting claims of
effecting persons. Legal issues are decided according to the constitutional and
legal limits and.
We will focus on the elaboration of justice as a societal value. John Rawls calls
justice the first virtue of social institutions. He further said, Justice means the
principles according to which social institutions should be organized and
operated in a simple society.
Discussing the role of Justice John clarifies, that the principles of justice
provide a way of assigning rights and duties in basis institutions of a society
and they define the appropriate distribution of the benefits and burdens of
social co-operation.
The outcome of this co-operation is social goods, which is the base of society.
Justice looks for these social goods to be distributed fairly, in an equitable
manner amongst different classes and groups in all parts of society. Individual
rights, mental, social and physical liberties along with freedom belong to this
category. They cannot be measure in the form of higher or lower. It is the
matter of equal distribution
IPC Article 51A, fundamental Duties: It shall be the duty of every citizen of
India,
(a)
to abide by the Constitution and respect its ideals and institutions, the
National Flag and the National Anthem;
(b)
to cherish and follow the noble ideals which inspired our national
struggle for freedom;
(c)
116 | P a g e
(d)
to defend the country and render national service when called upon to
do so;
(e)
(f) to protect and preserve the rich heritage of our composite culture;
(g)
(h)
to develop the scientific temper, humanism and the spirit of enquiry and
reform;
117 | P a g e
whereas the same competency looks perfect work when it is being performed
by the one who is just more than us.
Eg:
118 | P a g e
the situations where the family member becomes enemy all because of the
business rivalry or the land property matter and many more.
The competition is good but it should not hamper the spirit of the family. If it
does so; than it is not competition but it is rivalry which is not permissible in the
family set up. So the competition health in nature and must be in a status to
help other rather than harming other is aloud.
The family basic strength is the virtues that the family is holding. The more the
number of virtues the better the living condition and best is the family. There
are many virtues which must be with each family member. The some among
those are care, affection, love, respect etc.
Glory: The family pride is also very important. The pride or glory is the thing
which makes the family proud. The better the pride, the better the namesake,
the family members will be happy and vice versa. This pride should be kept in
mind that it should not more than the value of a family members. Now a days
we are often finding the honor killing just for pride of the family is not
permissible. The boys and girls of the family are the pride no doubt, but if they
119 | P a g e
are no more who is going to say the glory of the family. This is real question to
all the panchayat khep, commonly governing the societal conditions in the
states like Haryana, U.P. and many more.
iv. Gratitude: thanks to all for giving us help in all fashion is the meaning of
gratitude. To convey the best of wishes for the successful life is the gratitude
towards the family members, parents, friends, teachers, God and whom so
ever help is vital for personal, social and national growth is concerned.
Belief it, the most of the problems of the world are all because of that the
people are not showing the gratitude for others. If they do so the world can still
be good enough to live peacefully and harmoniously.
v. Inspirations: when you do good, you inspires other to become like that. The
one jawan of the Indian army Shahids, inspires many to give the pride to the
nation. The one good players wins the gold medal inspire many minds. This is
nothing but the seeds of inspiration reaps into the mind and with the favorable
condition these seeds turns into pride and glory for all. The family members
must inspire others to do good, to feel good and ultimately to act good for the
self, for the family and for the society.
Summary:
The definition of family is "a group of persons of common ancestry."
The nuclear family basically is made up of a father, mother and a couple
of children or so, and hence is compact and small.
The traditional family consists of parent, grandparents their children and
so on. It also has the cousins, phuas, masis and many more lived under
the same roof.
People need this physical and emotional support to get the life going.
They help not because of some asking or duties but they feel that one is
part and parcel of life and it is just there will or wish to help out without
looking for any credits for the same.
The family looks a perfect world. The reasons behind these families are
trust, faith, respect, love, affection, respect are the key attributes.
120 | P a g e
Trust can make a huge impact on the quality of our relationships with all
the family members as well as with the society.
Trust can be classified as two basic elements: trust earned and learned.
The respect comes out only from Shraddha( core of inner self, devotion)
not by fear.
If you want to be respected, you must respect yourself.
Justice is being fair in all social dealings, giving others what is their due,
not depriving anyone of his or her social right or property, reward or
recognition, respecting the basic human rights and social and personal
liberties of others, meeting valid demands others have on us.
Differences in the family are there to bind them tightly. It is an
opportunity to understand other rather than creating the mysterious
looks and episodes in the house opera.
The competition is good but it should not hamper the spirit of the family.

Harmony with the society
Society: a mirror of current trends
The term we usually found in the Vedic literature, Vasudhev Kutubkam (the
whole world is a big family) was look like a larger society. The society which
comprises of all the living creatures on the earth, it includes all the ecosystem
members in which we usually finds the godly traces like worship of tree i.e.
Banyan Tree, worship of plants i.e. medicinal plants and the rare herbs of
Himalayas and so on.
Society means not confining to a particular territory region was the Vedic
concept and with the definite progress of society into all aspects, the global
village concept is flooding the market. The companies, the business tycoons,
the software product, the investment segments all are looking for global
players and partners. Is it not a higher version of todays modified society? The
virtual world and the imaginary society is the future and who know in the
coming decade these things may land up and we may have a virtual society
concept irrespective of having some societal values or not.
122 | P a g e
The Societal values refers to those values which do push a society to become
a good and effective society. They are operative in the behavioral
relationships, social and economic structures and the basic social structure
created by a so called society. They make an impact on economic and political
activities of the society with distribution of power and authority in it. The basic
two questions arise in mind are:
What is society?
Definition of Society:
A society is nothing but a collectivity of individuals. The individuals who may
or may not related on the basis of the blood relationship but a common
objective was to live in a perfect fashion where everyone was dependent on
each other in spite of living independently. The society quality and values will
be no different from those of its members. Therefore, the goodness of the
society is the reflection of the good individuals.
Sociological definition of society:
Society is an organization for cooperative working to seek human
development, through production and distribution of sharable social goods.
Mike Lobert rightly said that, Society is an organic whole much more than the
sum total of its members. It has a life of its own whose quality is expressed in
the web of social relationship between individuals, groups, classes and
different institutions of the society.
Society and Organization:
123 | P a g e
We must be clear with the fact that firstly, society is an organization. Now, an
organization is an entity different from its constituents like HR, Production,
planning, marketing and so on. In the case of a society these constituents are
individual human persons, different classes and groups, social, economic, and
political institutions, and many other interrelated sub-systems within the larger
social system.
The functioning, goal, behavior and rules of governance of an organization are
different from those of its constituent members. In fact, the personal goals and
organizational goal may be same or may differ on situation and circumstances.
Organizational growth may be some decade or rarely goes into centuries like
East India Company, whereas the societies evolve historically over long spans
of time like Mexican, Egyptian, indo, Greek and many more. In the process
they recognize by their distinctive approach and cultural richness. These
become the common heritage of the people belonging to a society and affect
the development of their inner and outer human personality.
The common objective of all society and their social arrangements is to seek
human excellence in all perspectives. The term human excellence covers the
periphery of social, political, economic, and other dimensions of material
developments of individual as well as core group itself. In Keith words one can
call it, the full flowering of the total human personality, through the realization
of the whole spectrum of human values which go into making a good life.
Society concept of global human excellence:
Society was supposed to develop excellence in all the individuals along with
the awakening of collective consciousness. The hundreds of Hindus festivals
in the Indian calendars are nothing to awake the collective consciousness and
to bring individuals into the right and healthy spirit.
Individual excellence was important in the Vedic society but there was much
emphasis on the complete transformation of the society. Various movements,
124 | P a g e
sects came into scenario so as to govern the world, to lead the world in one
way or another but the prime thought was to make it more peaceful and
healthier. The ways of performing the rituals, the segments, the beliefs may
differ from region to region, time to time but the common belief was that if the
individual was happy the society reflects.
Production of sharable social goods in the society:
The main focus of collective efforts at the societal level is on production of
sharable social goods and to distribute them evenly in the all walks of society.
The best way to achieve this was through cooperation, helping nature and
good will of the society. The individual has the responsibility to produce,
promote and contribute for sharable common social goods.
Social goods are of several kinds. The most easily noticeable ones are the
common physical facilities,
They constitute the infrastructure for building a good society. The better the
infrastructure the more prosperous were the societies. This can be easily
proved through the traces of various historical societies. Opportunities and
means for gainful employment, jobs, career and other rightful ways if making
personal economic, social, mental and spiritual advancement are also a part of
shareable social goods.
125 | P a g e
126 | P a g e
In other words it can be the basic of society includes with some definite degree
of excellence in terms of working and production of effective citizens for
society. A good society is one which has large quantity of sharable social
goods and equable distributed system in society. The fundamental rights and
freedoms will be guaranteed to all and the society provides them fair
opportunities to attain it.
The basic mantra of society:
The society has always has the space for all irrespective of their caste, creed,
sex and race. The harmony, peace and prosperity go hand to hand in the
ancient period of India. It was all because the three major powers are working
in cohesive fashion. The basic shanti mantra was
Om saha nvavatu
Saha nau bhunaktu
Saha vryam karavvahai
Tejasvinvadhtamastu m vidvis vahai
Om ntih ntih ntih
OM Let both of us protect each other together
May both of us enjoy together
May both of us work together
Let our study become radiant, let there be no hatred between us
OM Peace, Peace, Peace.
The peace of the society was not confined with the human beings, it was
worked out for the betterment of the society, the living god earth, the
environment and the entire cosmos peace was recited in the mantras. The
common shantipath mantra is nothing but a prayer for universal harmony.
The shanti mantra is like this
Om dyauh shaantih Antariksham shaantih
Prithivee shaantih Aapah shaantih
Oshadhayah shaantih Vanaspatayah shaantih
Vishvedevaah shaantih Brahma shaantih
127 | P a g e
Society must provide space for common human goal. This must have a definite
effort in the field of
1. Health
2. Education
3. Justice
4. Production
5. Fair distribution
Health (swasthya)
The Health is a key issue for a society. It is not confined with the physical
sheath wellness but it is something beyond it. The World Health organization
has defined health as a comprehensive well being i.e. on the physical, mental,
social and spiritual level of an individual. The health is mainly focused on the
sanyams (restraint) on all aspects. These include sanyamas of sharir (body),
Arth (monetary), indriya (senses).
128 | P a g e
Sharir Sanyams: it includes the basic need of the body has to be delivered. It
is not going beyond the limits of the body but the sustainable efforts should be
maintained at any cost.
We often feel careless about the sharir, its protection and ignore completely the
consciousness (I). the protection of the body from changing environments,
putting proper clothing as per weather, the toning of the body through regular
exercises, the toning of the physic through regular gym and so on.
Arth Sanyam : the monetary control is also important for sustaining in the
society as too much nectar turns to be poison for life. The monetary resources
if not used under proper protection and guidance will also perished soon and
may have a direct or indirect impact on the body, personality and ultimately for
the society.
God has given us the resources to utilize properly. It should be in the horizon of
the society. The sarva- hitaya bhav (sense of social well being) must be there.
The resources best utilization is also being needed to get the best benefit for
the society must be kept in mind.
Indriya sanyam: the 5 karm indriya, the 5 gyan indriya and the 11 th the mann
(mind), if kept in proper shape then the progress of the self is definite for any
human being on this earth. The problem with the human being is such that in
spite of being the best of the knowledge of the world, he doesnt how to utilize
it in the benefit for all. He just tries to keep all the best available for the self or
little broader for the family. He knows that too much eating is harmful, he
knows too much sex (physical or mental level) is dangerous but still he feels to
indulge in it as much as can. The sanyams are required at definite level.
The man clearly knows that the senses if used in extreme conditions may
exhaust, but he had an impression that these words are for others not for the
self. He still tries to use them as much he can and ultimately the suffering is
there. The health of the person and its impact on the family and society is the
resultant.
129 | P a g e
130 | P a g e
The body needs care at different level and a clear understanding with the body
pay a lot especially for physical, social and mental growth of an individual.
To get a status in around society and this list is just endless if we feel so
but for them who feel the education as a menace all these facts are just
baseless.
131 | P a g e
132 | P a g e
Society on the tip of sword or through mutual understanding is the key behind
all the bureaucratic, democrats mentality. The socialist has the other thought to
fairly distribute the resources among all. Unfortunately the society doesnt
except the socialism and they are confined to certain states in India and some
specific countries.
The distribution of the wealth, power, resources, monetary gains if distributed
evenly in many part of the society then the most of problems can be solved but
the bottom line is what about the local big brothers of society? They never in
favor to get the things out of their hands whether it is a municipal election or
panchayat. The situation is still worse in some part of the society is that the
marriages of the family members are also settled by these societal bosses.
Think of the liberty and freedom of an individual in the democratic country like
India and after the 60 years of the Independence.
A world family concept. (Vasudhev Kutubkam)
The societal problems remain as such if the thought and emotions were not
involved in the really finding a solution. The one family concept, undivided
society, or the Vedic perspective of Vasudhev Kutubkam if not kept in mind
then all the efforts will go in vain.
The societal differences on the name of caste, creed, sex, races are dividing
the strength of the society. The energy which goes on waste in maintaining
these problems can be further channelized in some creative works for the
benefit of the society. It is true that these differences provided bread and butter
for many people like politicians, aristocrats but still feels that society for all not
for some specific breeds.
The Vedic concept was wonderful. The people in the society go through a
regular hierarchy. The dharma sansad or Acharyas (people who are supposing
for doing all the rituals and spiritual upliftment exercise for the society) were
kept at the top. The king or the ruler of the country comes the second, followed
by ministers, then workers, and the people from the society followed them. The
133 | P a g e
defined tree of hierarchy works well in the earlier system. The many glorified
kingdom story says more or less that the Vedic society is far more better place
to live in. we also have the search for the similar society and do feel that with
the regular efforts of intelligentsia and the common man mixed efforts will
definitely be achieved.
Search for a better society:
The modern search for a good society seeks to create a great quantity of
social goods and to ensure their equitable distribution. The primary social
goods are conceived as rights and liberties, income and wealth, power and
opportunities, common facilities and services. One can also add the justice,
rule or law, democracy, equality, dignity and rights of individuals are some of
the core human values which form the basis structure of a good society.
The society was very wisely developed by the profounder and professionals
and they have incorporated these beauties in designing a constitutional
scheme for the governance of independent India. However, the search for a
good society and a good life are still a mirage for all. The present society
approach much is based on the virtues and qualities of the past and
incorporating with the current technological and social advancement.
The western approach to the creation of a good society has taken a rather
limited vision of human beings welfare. It just revolves around the body itself. It
ignores deeper level ethical, spiritual and human value dimension of life, which
are essential for the realization of human goodness. If we go through the
Platos words, human being exists merely to provide a theatre for the state
and the market to operate. Therefore, from the human values perspective the
search for a good society has to be carried on much beyond the present
perspectives.
What good society can provide:
The means and the conditions for the physical, mental and material
growth of its members.

Harmony with Nature
Nature:
We often try to define the nature in many ways. The natural serine, the snowy
mountains, the calm sea beach, pleasant climate, the living creatures moving
around the forest and rivers makes us feel better. Hardly one asks from the self
why this natural feel makes us happier, comfortable and cozier. The answer is
simple that the nature is everything that was not made by man. The problem
with the man is that he keeps on altering the creation all because of inner will,
farsightedness or completely foolish attitude. The natural calamities, the worst
atmospheric changes, the drought of natural resources all conveying the same
story of human mind bankruptcy.
Definition of nature:
Wikipedia says that the nature excludes all things that were introduced by
mankind. All those human developments are summarized as culture.
The definition of nature summarizes natural objects, e.g.
Stones, rocks

interact with solar power to allow some life to exist. The panch bhutta ( 5 basic
elements air, water, earth, fire and sky are always there for the nature to get
back in shape even after the major distruction.
Various orders in nature:
The nature is everywhere. Look at the mountains, the sky, the river, deep sea,
the pleasant waves, the mineral, the ores, the element all says a story we are
in natural shape and always remain in nature. The basic orders in nature are
Padarth (objects)

changing the balance between the padarth and jeev. The jeev is keep on
exceeding in number and the objects are just becoming lesser day by day. The
situation will become worsen as the situation will reach up to an extent where
the rationing of the ores and the natural resources will be like the utility items.
b. Vanaspati, Jeev and Jantu
The Vanspati includes the soil, the herbs, plants, trees, forest along with the
flora in the deep ocean. This can be called as a vital source of energy and food
for many jantu (creatures on and off the shore). The vanaspati (greenery)
around the living plant is directly proportional to the life on the earth. More the
vanaspati the better the living conditions for all creatures and vice versa.

The creatures on this earth are having a tendency that they newer accumulate

earth. The animals residing in the sea easily enjoys the flora whereas the
creatures living on the earth having trees, flowers, fruits for their sustenance.
The greenery and forests helps the creatures to live in easily and now the
situation is just being changed with a hit on ecological balance.
The cutting up of green trees, the forest fires, the water dryness in the forest
ponds and river is just an alarming conditions where the jantu has to look after
the alternatives to sustain its life.

Looking the conditions on the earth, the life cycle only sustain when all its
ingredients are in harmony i.e. Padarth, jeev, jantu and vanspati. This is also
being worked out as an ecological balance. The earth has changed shape
many times as history shows out. In most of the cases these disturbance were
designed by human beings. The exploitation of the resources, the excess
utilization of the floura and fauna and killing the other living creatures for the
taste has created many times sad story for this living planet earth.
John Muir (1838-1914), One of the most famous and influential naturalist of
America has very rightly said,"God has cared for these trees, saved them from
drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he
cannot save them from fools".

143 | P a g e
According to the WWF Living Planet Report 2008, which warns that humanity
is consuming the resources provided by Earths natural systems much too fast
and Humankind will need two planets by 2030 to keep up with its demands for
goods and to make space for surging populations.
Reasons behind ecological imbalance:
These all things have affected not only humans but all the living beings on the
earth.
Alarming fact:
Habitat loss and degradation are the leading threats. They affect 86% of
all threatened birds, 86% of the threatened mammals assessed and
88% of the threatened amphibians.
Introductions of alien species. Some of the worst include cats and rats,
green crabs, zebra mussels, the African tulip tree and the brown tree
snakes
144 | P a g e
The year 2010 is announced as the year of Biodiversity but who knows how
much impact it will made on the world ecological balance is yet to
answerable.
Human Nature:
The human being gifted with a beautiful brain proved to be best in the world is
unfortunately unpredictable in nature. Even the god cant predict his next step.
The human nature is of many types like introvert, extrovert, calm, lousy, slow
starter, too quick, humble, and violent and many more superlatives can be
added in this list.
One can look after the temperament traits it will be major classified into four
groups.
1. Extroversion
2. Directness
3. Pace
4. Structure
Extroversion - They are mostly people oriented and believe in teamwork
Extroverted people are talkative, friendly and outgoing. They love to talk.
They have an influential style of communication. They're most creative
when working with others, they love being the part of the team.
Some characteristics of Extroversion are
145 | P a g e
Sometimes shy.
Like to have time alone to think and make decisions / plan / organize.
146 | P a g e
Will do things only when they will see any result in it.
Low-key.
The Pace trait: The focus of the Paced person is on timing, harmony and
cooperation. Paced people appear laid back, relaxed and easy going. They
don't rush. They just move along in a smooth, under control manner. They
hate to put under pressure therefore they naturally tends to avoid
pressuring others. They are generally very helpful.
Some characteristics of Pace are:
Determined people.
Usually feel that they don't have enough time ... hate to wait in line.
Difficult to relate to the High PACE people when under time pressure.
147 | P a g e
Structure: The focus of the structured person is on being right and doing
the right thing. The people that you know who are careful, precise &
perfectionists ... they're Structured. They can oppose to change, not
because the change isn't good but because they need some time to be
SURE that its good. They need to gather facts and do the research before
making a decision. They ask a lot of questions. They like to check and recheck. they like to be right!
Distinguish characteristics are
For all there is always a right way and a wrong way however for them
there is only one way and that is the right way.
Quality oriented.
Dislikes details and will try to delegate them to others when possible.
In spite of these major traits there is many more in nature. The shyness,
aggressiveness, the humble, the violent, the friendly, the miser and many more
can be added in the list.

The expansion of human activities into the natural environment is resulting into

o urbanization
o industrialization
o Reduction and fragmentation of habitats and landscapes
o Loss of Species of Fauna and Flora
Expectation from human being
Sensible Agriculture
The whole world is suffering from the modern agriculture and resulting into the
loss of much wildlife and their habitats. The drainage of wetlands, the
destruction of hedgerows and the intensive use of fertilizers and pesticides can
all pose a threat to wildlife.
areas, rising of livestock volume, and lower prices for agricultural products also
caused marginalization of agricultural land worsening the situation. It is
expected from human being to use the land in proper and matured way so as
to give space for other species also.
Conserve Energy
Energy resources have direct impact on the nature. If they had been used in
the proper fashion and utility the world have not cried like today. Generating
energy from any source involves making the choices between impacts and
how far those impacts can be tolerated at the global and national scale. It is
rather importance for nuclear power, where there are significant risks of
radioactive pollution such as at Chernobyl and Bhopal gas tragedy.
The world is looking for alternative sources for energy as the natural energy
resources are drying up. The crisis of fuel and its ownership is creating lots of
trouble in the world scenario and even if the wars. The human being is
expected to look for the other resources like solar energy, LED lights so as to
conserve the regular energy resources.
Controlled Forestry
150 | P a g e
The forests are disappearing up from the world map and being replaced by
concrete jungles. The economic sector forestry has also impacted severely on
the naturalness of global forests i.e. soils have been drained, pesticides and
fertilizers applied, and exotic species planted. The forest fires are the serious
threats not for the environment but for the species especially residing in the
forest areas. Many cases are in news when the animal supposed to reside in
the forest are moving and creating troubles in the human society.
Harmonized Industries
The industries are the back bone of any nation progress. Unfortunately almost
all forms of industry have an impact on the natural environment and its
sustainability. The impact varies upon the life cycle of a product, the raw
materials used through to the final end product, re-use or recycling. Industrial
accidents and war damage to industrial plants can also endanger the natural
environment. The industry must grow in keeping the forest and other natural
resources in concerned.
Tourism and Recreation
Tourism and recreation impact in various ways on the natural environment. On
the one hand, natural area forms the very basis of many touristic attractions by
highlighting scenic value or exceptional encounters with fauna and flora.
However, some forms of tourism can be extremely detrimental to ecologically
sensitive areas, resulting in habitat degeneration or destruction, in the
disturbance or hunting even rare or threatened species.
The nature can provide tourism as bread and butter for some of the human
beings if they use it in proper fashion. The countries like Malaysia, Singapore
and Mauritius are developed on the tourism only. So in all with recreation the
earning can also be possible if the human being use the nature in best of the
health and wealth.

Chapter Twelve
Harmony with cosmos and concept of existence
Introduction to space
The professor of physics will elaborate the space in its own way where as a
psychologist has another perception of Kants but the bottom line is that we all
need space. Whether the human being or the padarth (object), the jantu
(creatures) or the vanspathi (trees, herbs etc.) all need space to grow and rise.
It is hardly matter in which format or area we require but the absoluteness is
that we need ample space.
According to scientists, it is three dimensional areas which have length,
breadth and height. If you look out your house it is your space. Even inside
your house, you have your personal room, it is your space. When you go to
cafeteria and look to sit somewhere, and when it is found, it is another space.
Sitting in your class regularly you always tries to grab it, it is also space. If you
look around the small creatures to the big sharks in the sea, all needs space to
survive.
As per Wikipedia, Space can be defined as the boundless, three dimensional
extent in which objects and events occur and have relative position and
direction. Physical space is often conceived in three linear dimensions,
153 | P a g e
although modern physicists usually consider it, with time, to be part of the
boundless four-dimensional continuum known as space-time. In mathematics
one examines 'spaces' with different numbers of dimensions and with different
underlying structures.
As Kants states, Space is not something objective and real, nor a substance,
nor an accident, nor a relation; instead, it is subjective and ideal, and
originates from the minds nature in accord with a stable law as a scheme, as
it were, for coordinating everything externally.

Is space real or is it ideal:
*One may find this question rather puzzling that is this space real? If it is real
then why it is a riddle for mind? Just look around your house is the four walls
of concrete create a space? Then what about the glass of milk half filled. We
usually say it is half filled with air. Then where is the space for making the air
inside a glass.
The space looks ideal in some sense also. Just look at the plots of the land,
they lay ideal in state but still they occupy space and one says with pride that I
own this space. One can ask whether it is an individual substance or the
154 | P a g e
Scientist says that, the time is the fourth dimension of space. It is true in the
sense but first of all we must know what time is. We usually complain we are
busy and we dont have spare time. The question arises whether the time is a
dependent object of human being or independent of all the activities? Just
remember on many occasions, particularly during examination you set your
mental clock to wake up at a particular time and you get up exactly on the
desired time or a few minutes before that. Where is this mental clock, it is in
space or just purely in unconscious mind. Some may call it a merely
coincidence. Have you ever seen the dog putting on a watch? How often you
have seen the cock in the house look at the wall clock whether it is the time of
sunrise or not.
The answer is simple that non-human beings do not cognize the time as we
human being does. That is why; they fail to react to time, in contrast to man's
conscious and deliberate response to change in the space around. Many of the
routine activities of animals, which seem to have on time result from there
unconscious mind, built-in, biological instincts, or from acquired conditioned
but not from their conscious awareness of the flow of time.

Time
Wikipedia says that the Time is an essential part of the measuring system
used to sequence events, to compare the durations of events and the intervals
between them, and to quantify the motions of objects. Think of a situation
when you suddenly wake up from a dream at night in the dark, you cannot
distinguish the time, unless you look on the clock lying beside your bed, or
coming out in the clear sky and see the position of heavenly bodies in the night
sky and realize that it was just a night dream and nothing more than that.
During the day hours, in the absence of a watch, one can easily approximate
the time - and continually reminded of time - by the changing position of the
Sun, or by the length and direction of the sun's shadows around his own body.
Just imagine the case when you are in deep sleep and you are not aware of
156 | P a g e
the changing situation whether the sun rises or moon goes down. This state of
absolute calmness and during deep sleep, there is no time at all.
This gives a wonderful definition of the time as, Conscious awareness of
change is time. This states that if you are aware of the situation and in the
conscious state then the time factor may apply on you irrespective of whether
you are living being or non living being. In other words the time is an observed
phenomenon, by means of which human beings sense and record changes in
the environment and in the cosmos.
If one thinks of the time in the context of Physics then from the age of Newton
to Einstein, all reinterpretation of the physical concept associated with time and
space, the time was considered to be "absolute" and to flow "equably" for all
observers. The science of classical mechanics is based on this Newtonian idea
of time.
As per the sociology and anthropology, time discipline is the name given to
customs, conventions, social and economic rules governing the measurement
of time and people's expectations concerning the observance of these customs
by others.
Relation between Living being (both jantu & jeev) and space:
Living beings are always closely related with space. The Charles Darwin
statement of the survival for the fittest easily profound the theory of space is
not available in coffee house. It is the right but one has to fight for it and hold it
as there is every time the possibility of intrusion.
Living being used the space on around the earth and in the water in the best
possible way. The living being resides in the ocean or water arrange
themselves in an order that the other can also fit in. On the earth even in the
forest the herbivorous and carnivorous all are accommodating themselves in a
harmonize way. We hardly heard about any communal right or anarchy in the
157 | P a g e
forest. The muscle game is definitely there as this is nothing but the survival for
the fittest. The big fish always in a catch to get hold of small fish and this is
how the entire world goes on.
The padarth or objects are no more exceptions. They also have been provided
the ample space in and around natural resources. The mountains, rivers, sea
shores, the valley etc., all welcome them with open hands. The human being
used to explore them in one way or other in order to fulfill his need; otherwise
they all are lying here and there in a systematic manner. The living planet the
earth is making all adjustment for all the matters, living and non living beings.
The different states of Jeev and Space
If one tries to compare the jeev (living being) with the space there are many
issues on which them differ and still in one sense all are dependent of each
other. The jeev cannot live without space and the existence of the space is
hardly matter in absence of the jeev.

Limited and unlimited
We often say that, The sky is the limit and try to conquer the world. It is true
that it is merely a metaphor to achieve excellence and occasionally an
inspiration to get the best out of the self. But one thing is questionable, how
much does we need, to live comfortably? The answer may vary from person to
person. People living on the bank of rivers hardly care for water, whereas the
same water is precious for the people living in desert or on hill areas.
The food which we eat has variety and taste. We eat, at least five to six dishes
in a day but look around the conditions in Somalia or Ethiopia or any other
backward country where the people had hardly to eat. We have a lot of
selection in wearing dresses, putting on the shoes etc., all because we have
options and we can afford it but look on the other side of the wall where there
are some who hardly had the sufficient clothes to cover themselves, wearing
half torn sleepers but still they live and survive.
The reason for putting all this is to make a better understanding that as a
human being what is being expected from us? We are supposed to live rightly
and show the righteous ways to others. To maintain the law and order in
accordance to the nature is second responsibility. We have endless list of
resources but if we keep on exploiting them then there will be a doom day. This
limited and unlimited debate has to be tackle in accordance with the biological
159 | P a g e
balance. The jeev has to understand his limit and to work under the unlimited
space.
Activity and no activity:
The space resides in silence and maintains the equilibrium with nature. We the
human being move here and there and tries to maintain the world in our own
way. There is no harm in using the brain by making new invention or by doing
scientific researches for the welfare of the mankind but still one thing is
questionable who has created this world? What about the earth existence if
therere too many activities around. The control or governance of these earthly
matters will be supervised by whom, the human being who is creating all sorts
of troubles or the other living and non living creatures who are committed to
maintain biological balance in nature.
Energy equilibrium
The energy is always an asset for human being progress. We all know it but
newer tries to follow it. We need energy for the luxury and comfort. We often
feel happy in misusing the available energy resources. The oil resources, the
power sector, the windmills, the turmoil are working in one direction to provide
regular input of energy for the comfort of human being. It is least concerned
that in order to provide more and more energy the ecological balance is just
under stake.
The ever increasing deforestation, too much oil extraction all is making serious
impact on ecological imbalance. The proper utilization of energy is being
expected from human being. The energy resources are limited and will be
easily vanish if they are not used in proper utility. We must be careful and
sincere efforts are needed to maintain this energy equilibrium.
Organizing and self organizing
To organize self is the need of hour for all of us. The psychology says we
hardly try to show our real face to the society. We hide it behind our persona.
Do you know why? The answer is very simple we are not organized,
160 | P a g e
channelized and systematic in nature. The flow of life is not at there. That is
why we are hiding our individuality behind the shades and moods of life. The
nature, the space and the other living beings needs to be organized by the
external identities because of their less developed brain but for us there is no
excuse.
We know that this is our life. We try to govern it in our own way then why to
blame others for the mistake which we are committing on regular basis. The
self organizing structure is being taught in the Institutions, there are many
books and journals on this particular topic but still the story is same. To arrange
the self in best of order is being expected from the human being.
Existence and co existence jad( non living) or chetan (living)
We do live on this earth. Just look around and try to find your existence on this
cosmos. There is a cosmos under which is the milky way, followed by the
earth, in which is a country, then a state, following by a city in which we hold a
small house and out of which we use a room. Do we ever think that how much
space we need to live on this earth? Just compare yourself with our milky way,
the ratio will come in nano-pixel and still we cry for existence. We are here; is
this not enough. The existence and co existence must be rightly understood by
all. The common saying jiyo aur Jino do, literally means live and do other also
live in proper order.
We are chetan means living being and the others which are in this world are
non living beings is not true. They are non living beings (jad) that doesnt
means they dont have the right to live on this earth. In other words the chetan
is to dominate the jad is also incorrect. The both entities are equally important
on this earth. Think of the situation when there will be no mountain, no trees,
no rocks, no season, and no sea shore, how will be the life. It is just next to
impossible to sustain rather. So the important thing is to give equal importance
to living and non living member on this earth.
Human being role in existence:
161 | P a g e
The human existence is highly associated with the earth existence. The deep
rooted human existence is the base of the entire species in and around earth.
The physical and mental ability, the high efforts and magnitude makes the man
supremo above the other species on earth.
The human being is being honored as the prince of God. The wisest creature
on the living planet earth is supposed to care the world in harmonized and
systematic way. The role is clearly defined now the thing is to act accordingly. It
is the matter of not making a big mouth but a small but definite step of action.
The earliest the efforts, better the living conditions on the living planet earth.
The basic qualities which are expected from human being are as follows:
human being with a strong body, calm mind and blessed soul is being
expected from all of us but it is rather unfortunate we emphasize on the body
itself and the mind and soul are ignored.
The superficial furnishing of the external body is always on priority. To protect it
from external exposure, to make it sober and beautiful, the lots of expense are
being made on beauty parlors and saloons. The branded clothes, the jewelry to
decorate, the perfume for the odour, all sings the glory of body. It is purely a
business to decorate the self i.e. confined with the body. Rarely have we made
any efforts to get into it and look for the state of mind and soul.
The mind is somewhat trained into the institutional segment to be a perfect
professional. The subjective knowledge makes a person to be in condition to
earn his bread and butter. The basic fundamental of mathematical formulation
will be used to complicate the simple life. The basic formulas of the physics are
used to transform the life into algorithms. The chemistry learnt so far resultant
into the organic structure and bonding of life. It all looks mess up when you talk
to a young graduate, Boss what have you thought of the future? Many say we
havent decided yet? When the time come we will think and as many answer
we can easily find. The problem is that the mind is trained into one direction i.e.
to earn money, to become famous and to achieve luxury in life. All the
permutations and combinations are in accordance with this only objective.
Forget about the soul. We are not able to concentrate on mind itself. The soul
lying helpless inside the body looks like an old nanny of old home. It is like a
grand parent who seldom found a day with their own kids to become happy
with little rare pleasures and then there is a deep silence. Just check yourself
how many times in a month or in a year do you listen to your voice of soul. We
hardly try to hear it and the action according; just forgot it. This is the real
picture of the soul.
If one looks into the soul rightly there lies the immense treasure, which is yet to
be explored. The power of understanding the other mind, the knowledge of the
163 | P a g e
body, mind and the soul is the key areas if focused on the soul; it can be
proved as a touch stone.
The Rishis (seers) had a perfect vision. The Rishi Pantanjali rightly described
the concept of mind, body and soul relation in Patanjali yog sutras. The
piousness of the body, the calmness of the mind and the purity of the soul can
be easily achieved through regular practice and performing certain sadhanas
(spiritual exercises). If one has to achieve excellence in the field of life then
one must know the concept of scientific spirituality. The spiritual practices, its
scientific & practical implementation will produce a wonderful human being, a
perfect family member and a better citizen,.
Nature jounery of anu to vibhu (Micro cosmos to macro cosmos)
The science has proved that the life is based on certain activities. The activities
are based on perception, knowledge and action. When these three goes in
hand to hand the life looks simple, sober and cheerful and in absence of any
one of them the same life looks drastic and hard to live. The science has highly
supported the potentiality of the body. The basic human structure consists of
pancha tatava which are also located in around the world. The 5 content
creates the five sheaths in human being, the 5 koshas in the body. The anu
(body) looks a small but mirror image of the vibhu (world). The micro cosmos
which lies in the human body is the miniature of the macro cosmos i.e. the
universe.
Just look around the macro cosmos, one will find many heavenly bodies,
terrestrial bodies and the creatures which may or may not been seen by
human being. They are still the part of the macro cosmos irrespective of our
recognition. In other words there are certain objects in this macro cosmos
which are yet to be explored. It is a challenge for human brain to solve the
macro cosmos mystery soon. This can be started from the micro cosmos i.e
easy and approachable.
164 | P a g e
The human mind is sharp, always curious to know this and that and tries to find
out the new paths and horizon for the human success. The glory of human
mind is noteworthy. The inventions and new finding has shown the path of our
great success but the work is not yet over. The much has been left out to be
done so as to get the perfect life of human being. Lets hope with the
cumulative efforts and endeavors this can also be achieved soon.

Section III
Righteous Understanding of professional ethics
166 | P a g e
Chapter thirteen
Basic of universal human values and ethical human conduct
The previous section provides us the better understanding of the self with the
entire cosmos. The firstly we understood the concept of harmony in every
dimension of the personality. What am I? what for am I? The question finds the
regular answers and this enhance our knowledge regarding the self. The
difference between the self with I is distinguished for better functioning in day
to day life. The Thyself is to be in better coordination with the family i.e. the
basic unit of society. When this relationship is better established it makes a
definite impact on the society. The society provides the better perceptive to the
human being in all social dimensions i.e. personal, social, economical, legal,
and ethical etc.
The better understanding of the human being with the nature is the need of the
hour. The voices from the different part of the world are urging for the
167 | P a g e
protection of the nature. The issue of global warming is heating our mental
temperature now and then. The natural resources and alternative energy
resources has been constantly under surveillance for betterment of the society.
The existence of the human being is very critical in nature now. The basic
relation of human being with the entire cosmos is deeply emphasized and the
concept of existence i.e. live and let other live is theoretically understood by all.
This segment will provide the righteous understanding of the universal human
values and their implication in day to day life.
What is needed is practical approach:
The Gates rightly quoted that there is an ocean of knowledge in this world,
what is being required is the small drop of practical implementation. It is
virtually very true. The man who is a knowledge structure of all sorts of worldly
mundane activities must possess the knowledge of how to life in the harmony
with the different other living beings, nature and at the most with other human
beings. We may have the theoretical knowledge of making a chapatti but it all
looks mess up when we do the practical. A small effort of diving can make us a
better swimmer rather than sitting besides the ocean and taking bath with a
tumbler. So in all the spirit of learning has to be maintained if become
successful in life. The self exploration is the key of the success. The practical
experience which will emerge from furnishing a task will make you different
from others who hardly had the theoretical knowledge.
Values in different dimension of human living
When you look around yourself, you may find the world full of values.
Remember we are always in search of valuable things in around. It is
immaterial what we meant by valuable things. Some look for gold, jewelry, big
houses, cars and materialistic approach. Contrary the others may be in quest
for the basic values in life like honesty, responsibility, peace of mind etc. The
values are nothing but the basic principles of life. If you follow them they are
going to supplement the life and vice versa. The jeevan mulya are the basic
elements of the life. The life cannot sustain if they are missing from life. The
sukh, shanti, anand and santosh are the valuable things which everyone looks
168 | P a g e
for. Some are bit lucky to have them in one shot whereas the others may go
around the world.
The manviya mulya are the characteristics which may or may not be there, but
one thing is sure that everyone is being supplemented with these ornamental
values more or less. The beauty lies when these ornamental values transform
into the personality and one become ideal for the self, family and in large for
the society. The people keep on making to him in search of peace, prosperity
and solution to the problems. We often called them saint, savant, prophet or
messiahs.
The stapitya mulya and stithya mulya basically differ in the sense where as one
is the established values and other are expressed values. They both are
important in the global sense. The more the quantity of these values the better
the person you are. The keep on accumulating principles works over here.
The trust on others is vital for life. The affection towards the other is the key of
the success, the care for ill, old and children are important, the guidance to the
needy is the pious work. We all know it but hardly try to practice. Whenever we
had this opportunity we just try to miss the bus. It is not because that we do not
want to do the charity but it looks so that we are afraid of. We had been born
and bought up in the environment where charity is for the old age only.
It is harsh but true that there is no age limit for charity. Just turn around the
pages of many successful legends, they had the charity right from the starting
of the life. What is being required is to keep the pace on; the whole world is
waiting for such blessed souls, who have the zeal to serve the world in one
way or other. Why not we become one of them and had the glory and pride
under our belt.
Universal values emerging from the natural understanding
The values emerge from the inner consciousness and have the impact on the
outer persona. We do find at many occasions that the person which we have
seen few months back suddenly turn out into a new Avatara. The way of his
talking, walking and presenting the self is being changed. We feel curious and
try to find the reason and when it appears i.e. the basic values, we feel there is
169 | P a g e
nothing new in it. We all knew it from years but the difference is that it is hardly
being practiced in life.
Universal values are no more exceptions; they had been originated in such a
way that they had the acceptance on the global front. The truth became the
standard ISO 9000 globally; it is not going to change whether it is being
practiced by a Jew or Christian, Hindu or Muslim. The universal values are true
in nature. They had been in this world for the betterment of all irrespective of
caste, creed, race and sex.
170 | P a g e
lessons of ethics and moral values. The values which are in our nerves, bloods
and vain, right from the birth or call it hereditary as Bharat vanshi does really
need a lesson of moral ethics. Ethics is the treasury which we feel proud, and
we do seldom said that the Indian culture has shown the world the torch of
knowledge. Do these honorable citizens of Indian society have forgotten to
switch on the light of this torch or they have focused everything on the world
and look so forgotten the basics and lost the glaze and glamour in the extreme
dusk.
The defectiveness in human conduct is emerging as a serious threat for the
humanity. Let us try to scrutinize them one by one in detail so that they can be
checked up to a level.
Values (mulya): they are basic part of the society. When they emerge in
general the society is on the peak and when they felt weak in the nerves of the
society, the sinkness of the society is very near. The values as we have gone
through in detail in the section I generates a direct impact in the society. We
rather complaint in the todays society that the ethics are missing, the values
are disappearing and so is the impact. The arson, intolerance, greed,
unhappiness, fear, unsafe and many more mushrooms are blossoming in the
society.
Policy (Niti): the policies can make the kingdom on top and similar if it is in
fray can make the definite downfall. Many kingdoms in the history shows that
the best of policies has make them glorified. If the policies regarding the self
are in cohesion with the existence, with family and society then naturally one
will find himself in best of health and spirit. The human brain, the muscles and
the vital the pure consciousness if used in best format then the success cannot
be denied at any instance.
Character (charitra): we do find that the key thing character is a missing part
or rather disturbed part in the personal life. We complain here and there and try
to find the solution outside the self but the key is that the character stability is
being needed at any cost. The modern trend in the society is emerging as a
serious threat for human existence. The live in relationship, the gay and
171 | P a g e
lesbian, single motherhood and many more bleeds are coming up in the
society and as far as Indian societal system is concerned they are newer
accepted and nor in future. The relationship among the husband and wife must
be in conjunal in nature. The basic understanding should be there so as to
bring up a happy and prosperous family.
Value based living is the righteous solution:
The defectiveness in the society is very much their but it doesnt mean that
they cannot be patched up. The right understanding and vision can make a
definite impact on the society. What is being required is the value based living.
It has to be adopted in all levels of the society. If the society needs to grow
positive then they must be adopted as early as possible. The government
policies, the societal leaders, the religious bigwigs must utter them from the big
platform and forced the different segments to follow them. The role models of
the society must follow the value based living as a necessity not only for them
but for the betterment of the global family.
At the level of individual: what is being expected from every individual of the
society is to move on. The stagnant individual will not make a difference to the
society. The inner dilemmas must be replaced with the righteous thinking and
action. The doubts and the uncertainty must be cleared with the positive
thinking and action. The depression, anxiety must be replaced with the inner
joy and peace and if it all emerges in the common man then the transformation
of the entire society is not so far.
At the level of family: The family structure needs a revamp. The basic of a
family is trust, love and affection among all the individual has to be established.
The feeling of oneness will bring prosperity and happiness among the
individuals. The respect and forgiveness are the mantra of a successful family.
The harmony among all the family members will push the family to grow more,
to become popular and ultimate become successful in all respect. The day to
day problem, the insecurity can be easily drained out from life if the family
values and culture is being established prominently. So the successful family
must try to put a show in front of all so that traces can be followed by many
others.
172 | P a g e
At the level of society: The trust and forgiveness is the prominent features
among the societal growth. More the people have mutual trust, the smoother
the life. The mistrust leads to grief and hatred among individuals. Communities
often quarrel on the name of belief, followers, race and gives rise to naxalites,
terrorist groups and become the societal bleeds. They are the individual when
ignored and dejected took the roads of rebel. They hardly care for massacres
and killing the individual which are the same whom they played with. Now they
had the arms and ammunition in hand and on the name of Jihad or
independence; they tries to write their own fate inversely proportional to the
society.
The society must try to find the solutions to put back these mislead individuals
and groups in to the society wavelength and channelized there potentiality in
best of health and spirit. The world is facing the toughest problem of terrorism
but with the concrete and collective efforts this can be overcome some day.
At the level of nature: Nature always favors the individual and the society.
What so ever being the condition the nature always try to give the optimum?
What is being required is to live in accordance with the nature both as an
individual and as a group in society. The global warming problem is emerging
as a worst hit problem, the ozone depletion, the ecological imbalance all
showing the traces of human extinct. The efforts are required to channelize
these critical problems and to make this world as a living, vibrant and most
cherished plant the earth.
Summary:
The man who is a knowledge structure of all sorts of worldly
mundane activities must possess the knowledge of how to life in the
harmony with the different other living beings, nature and at the most
173 | P a g e
The jeevan mulya are the basic elements of the life. The sukh,
shanti, anand and santosh are the valuable things which everyone
looks for.
The universal values are true in nature and blossom only when there
that the Indian culture has shown the world the torch of knowledge.
The role models of the society must follow the value based living as
a necessity not only for them but for the betterment of the global
family.
Questions:
1. Self exploration can make an individual more perfect. Illustrate the
statement in your words.
2. Explain the jeevan mulya and compare it with manviya mulya.
3. Describe in detail the importance of universal value for the world society.
4. Whom you consider the best role model and why?
Chapter fourteen
Holistic alternative towards universal human order
The importance of universal human values has been discussed in the last
chapter. The basic aim behind developing these universal values is to develop
174 | P a g e
the individual into a better mankind with a higher level of consciousness. The
elevated consciousness will definite make a forward thrust to the social and
mental level of individual performance resulted into a developed society.
Universal human order (sarvabhomik manviya vyavastha):
The universal human values can be adopted with higher universal human
order. The better individuals may be scattered around the world will have the
better receptivity and the level of performance also. The human order must be
come across with the level where the individual must not confined him with the
periphery of monetary gains. The small and limited mentality has to be
sublimated into a developed individual. The individual consciousness must be
mingled up with the collective consciousness and then only one can say that
the universal human values are making the difference. It must be build up in a
format where every individual feels it as a part and parcel of the self. It must
have the higher order of values which are necessary intake for all the individual
residing in a particular society.
Awakening of collective consciousness:
The consciousness plays a vital role in the growth of the society. In other words
if the level of consciousness of the individual is high the society glittered and
vice versa. The individual capacity is newer being questioned in society
perspective as it makes hardly any major impact on the society as a whole.
The major difference occurs when the majority of the individual consciousness
blows in the same direction and creates a turbulence of collective
consciousness. If the situations are favorable and the mood of collective
consciousness is also in the same direction then the society definite grows.
The basic aim of awakening the collective consciousness in the positive
direction is to make the impact fast and effective over a huge mass. The
question arise how to do that? To change an individual personality is never
easy, now when the collective consciousness is being an agenda then naturally
the higher energy level and the rigorous efforts is being needed.

There are many projects already in to the society for this stuff. They are also
making an impact on the society development and sustenance. At present the
efforts look small and there aura is not taking the world. The scenario looks
unfavorable but it doesnt means that the sun is not going to rise. The efforts
which are small in nature always make a bigger difference and one must be in
the optimistic frame of mind to bring that divinity on to the earth.
Identification of comprehensive human goal:
The divinity is being supplemented with the higher order of human structure.
The basic principles of the life must be clearly understood by these highly
elevated spiritual souls so as to channelize the same for the common man.
The common human goal must be set up so as to get the things smooth and
perfect in the perspective of life. The goal must have certain key features. It
must provide the righteous vision for the individual, family, social and nature.
o Proper solution (Samadhan): as an individual one must get the proper
solution of his/ her personal problems.
o Prosperity (Samridhi): the common universal goal must be in horizon with the
people prosperity so as to get a better family.
o Fearless (Abhaya) and happiness (prasanta): the society needs a fearless
atmosphere where an individual can express himself without any fear and
when the nature of society is such there will be full of happiness, joy and
prosperity. The society will have the santosh bhava (contented in nature).
o Coordination (samanvay): the nature and the society are dependent on each
other. If they have the better coordination among the various elements and
entities the basic living conditions will be more favorable.

provide the better cohesion among all creatures on the earth and also enrich
the sentiments for human welfare. This will enhance the people vision to live
in better relation with the nature, the people to people relationship and
ultimately they will have self satisfaction. It will also leads towards the
humanistic education, proper health care for all and production of
appropriate technologies for the betterment of the society.
Albert Einstein rightly quoted, There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a
miracle. This can be easily achieved when you live for the universal human
welfare with an integrated human goal.
Need for human education and human constitution:
The world is changing sharply and so we are. The thoughts, emotions and
sentiments all are in fluctuating state where a little blow up makes us deviate
from our goal. The question arises that is our basics are in right mode or not?
The education which we are having makes us stronger or wealthier in terms of
coins or from the heart. How good we are able to deal the worst enforced
situation? The fight or flight which option we do opt?
Looking at the society we do find the tendency of adapting the situation is
rather low. The low vitality regarding the situation is keeping us to run here and
there for the solution rather than standing and fight out the solution. We do
believe that there will a superhero come from the corner of the world and will
save us. It looks so that the entire system is being drafted into a catalyst mode.
The bureaucracy is stirring the society in its own way and we are mere
spectators. The current education is needed to be more humanistic in nature
and so is the constitution amendment which needs a complete transformation
as per the modern society. Lets looks them one by one in short.
Human education:
178 | P a g e
The basic education starts from home and then it moves to school, college and
further implementation in the society. This is a simple cycle of the education.
The question arises that if the education is so vital then it should be in horizon
with the self, family and the society. The first lesson of moral values and the
ethics start from the family. The basic adequate of the person is better taught
by parents. The important inputs if provided rightly will ensure the better crop
and more prosperity in society.
The government is being busy in making many commissions like Yashpal
commission, National education scheme, free education to girl and so on to get
the right nerve of education. The moral education is being incorporated in the
curriculum at different levels. The workshops and seminars for the students
and the teachers are also many in numbers. But the main question is who has
to change, the system or the individual? There is nothing wrong in making the
system strong but the zeal inside the individual is crucial. If everything has to
be changed or to be in proper order then it must starts from the individuals
effort. The better the efforts the fast it change. Lets hope so.
Transformation of current constitution into human based constitution:
Much has been talked about regarding human rights. The National commission
of Human rights is also being established and then what. Does all the
problems regarding the in human behavior is solved? No it cant be solved by
constitution amendments only. The change into certain laws and bi-laws will
not make the entire stuff change into a day. The spirit of humanity if not
included into the laws policy, will definitely produce the heart made of mortar
and coal tar. The people will not have any emotion, sentiment or a vision for
humanistic justice. The so called social justice in villages, kasbas and now in
semi urban areas, they only give the fatwa, the khep (panch vyavastha), the
honor killing and resultant the society bleeds.
What is being needed in this context is the humanistic approach, the righteous
understanding of what is being needed and how to incorporate in the current
constitution? Look at the honor killing scenario, the boy and the girl naturally
179 | P a g e
grow into the nature, fall in love and started thinking to get married. In the
worst case they elope and gone through the marriage. The parents and the
society members found them missing, get in search of them. When founded
they bring the couple back home. The panch will decide and on the name of
the honor of the family either boy or girl or both sentenced to death. What is
this? Is this human constitution or jungle raj?
We do understand the mistake done by the boy and girl by eloping from the
house. It was a great blunder but not on the cost of life. Remember the rules
and regulation will exist if the society remains. If we give these types of
sentences where will be the love and affection in family? It will be grown up
into the atmosphere of afraid and hatred.
The question is that can a crime be controlled by a bigger crime? Could
violence be controlled by big Vandalism? If the answer is yes then naturally we
are not talking of a human society. We can better brand it as animal society
having a basic principle of Jungle raj. The bigger the mouth, the bigger you are
and it is your definite right to eat all. If it is not so, then the humanistic
approach is being needed. The second thought must be incorporated into the
current constitution, laws so that there will be a definite scope to make the
society calm and moderate in nature.
The fundamental rights of a human being must be maintained in to a holistic
manner. The basic rights especially for the women, the housewife must be in
harmony with their better growth and prosperity. The child labor, the inhuman
behavior not only be criticized but a strong action among the violators will
enforce the society to move in the desired direction.
Universal human order and its implications
The human society starts from an individual and ends into a larger family i.e.
vishroop pariwar. The concept of vasudhev kutumbkam is being strongly

The manviya vyavastha (universal human order) must be in alignment with the
nation, society, family and individual. It must propel the theory of humanity, all
the endeavors in order to maintain the human behavior and goal in best of
social and spiritual upliftment.
The spiritual aspect left behind in the society and often it is replaced with the
old dogmas and rituals. The people are rather upset with the spirit of putting
water here and there and the offering (forced) is hardly understandable. What
is being required is the clear revision of these so called spiritualistic chapters in
181 | P a g e
the modern context. The theories if good in nature must be adopted not
.because babaji saying but in the light of the scientific and spiritual
observations, findings and results.
The society has to grow into this humanistic approach if it has to sustain. There
is no other alternative left out.
Summary:
provide the righteous vision for the individual, family, social and nature.
The first lesson of moral values and the ethics start from the family. The

Professional ethics a complete overview
183 | P a g e
Human progress depends upon the profession. The individual has to work in
order to get his bread and butter. The society encompasses various
professions and as an individual the basic part of the society, one has to
choose the best fit and adoption. The question is that

Competence.
Rules: Ethics may be described as in terms of confront to rules. The ethics
means a list of things to do and not to do in a particular situation. Sometimes
the list gets very long and complicated and needs to be interpreted by a whole
group of people. The ethical person is supposed to deal this situation in
accordance to the society conditions, nation laws, rules and regulation.
Intentions: Another way of ethics is in perspective of good or bad intentions.
From this point of view, an action or behavior is considered ethical if it is based
on good intentions. If the intentions of doing a thing are good then we call it
ethical and if bad we call it unethical.
Competence: The third thought of ethics is in terms of competence. From this
point of view, the ethical person is one who can make decisions based on
principles and then act accordingly. They rather wait for failure rather than
achieving success through unethical means. They are determined in nature
and always talks about basic ethics in different perspective of life. One can
also say that ethics is thought of in terms of ability rather than an attitude. Ethic
can be said as a matter of practice rather than preaching. One can easily
distinguish between ethical and unethical people in the society.

The professional world is most unpredictable in nature. The career rise and
sinks in many formats. The two ships start from the same harbor lands up in
different docks in due course. So is the professional life. The two individuals
starting the same career at the same may lands up in different positions. The
pay scale, position and power are the factors which make them in total different
conditions.
Personal competence means efficient handling of our own emotions. One aspect
of this competence is the ability to control and regulate our negative and
disruptive emotions like, anger, passionate cravings, insatiable hunger for power,
blind ambitions, etc. Often we do find the absence of spirit of personal
competence in individuals. They do not have control over the emotions and
often burst out in public and become a scene unnecessarily. They also try
unethical practices in order to achieve success in short span of time. One can
call it short cuts to achieve the best through least efforts. It can be a monetary
gain through irregular practices. In can be cash or kind so as to get a job done.
In order to attain sensual pleasure more and more, one does not hesitate in
demanding the sex. The height is not yet they do not hesitate in stint operation
or supari (money to kill a person) in order to achieve promotion or benefits.
One can find such active players finally landed up in jail for their extra ordinary
brilliance. The ethical competence cannot be developed in a day. It is long time
fixed deposit where the percentage of return is less and fixed but it is definite in
nature.
The Emotional competence is emotional self-management. This capability is
helpful to a person in providing the ability to give honest expression to one's
emotions and feelings. This is more important in close inter-personal
relationships. Professional relationship stands on this clue only. The clear
understanding of the professional ethics is being expected from all the
professionals. To live and let the other live philosophy is the ideal of all
profession. If one knows these competence of professional ethics well he or
she will not divert from the nature of the job. He will feel confident of what he is
190 | P a g e
doing of. He must remain in harmony with the circumstance, emotions and also
with the co workers also. the proper understanding of the ethical values and
expressions will make him fearless and to push for happiness and prosperity in
all aspects. This will makes his life living with the nature and the better
understanding of the wide spread life.
Ethics and the Professions
The pious professions like medicine, police, army and law had codes of ethics
and all the members are supposed to swear an oath to follow these codes of
conduct, in order to get excellence in his or her profession. It is secondary
whether the person follows it in near future or not.
The basic unethical practices in todays scenario are:
Corruption at most of the level from the ticket queues at the railway station to
the municipal corporation.
The police cases, the lawyers hold are the key of definite expense.
The medical practitioners are charging of no cause. The best profession is
being rated among the worst hitted profession.
The land frauds, the patwari, judges all looks have sink into the money laundry.
The hawala cases, the bribery at every nook and corner.
Consumers exploitation through falsely advertisements and their cheating in
many prospects.
Over charging the things on various reasons and actions.
The list is endless and the unethical practices are grooming in compound
interest. The need of the hour is to get the list shorten by any means. The
professional who are excellent in brain carried away with the circumstances.
The continuous effort can make them back on track.
Suggestive measures to up-bring the professional ethics:
Professionals are good in nature. They rather follow the rules and regulation. It
is just to mold their thought pattern regularly with following list of practices.
191 | P a g e
The golden rule: The classic golden rule is to do unto others as you would
have them do unto you. In other words, I will not cheat that person because
I do not want me to be cheated by them.
The golden rule is a simple and useful tool, but with its own limitations. We
dont really know how to treat the soft babies or plants, so the golden rule cant
tell us much about how to treat them. Secondly, the whole rule is based on one
own feelings of how one wants to be treated. But our own needs and
preferences might not be typical or rightly understood by others as such. If one
does not find the privacy is an important factor of life, he hardly cares for the
others privacy.
The ethical segment is quiet long but here we try to check out the moral and
social ethics through this small section of questionnaire. Just tick the statement
which you feel most suited.

recession, the effective cost of job is high so there is a cut of salary and even if
the staff. So the situation changes for IT industry.
Looking the same scene for the other industry like cottage industry; which has
the reversal effect on its business by the rise and low of dollar? If the dollar is
weaken then the sale will be high, it is easily approachable, the business
flourish in overseas market where as when the dollar is high the sale is
reduced and the industry is in stress conditions.
So the similar factor can have many format of impact in around the industry.
What to be done and when to be done is the real thought. Look at the food
business, there are many irregularities in it. The fruits which we usually eat,
baked by using carbides. The sweet which we are fond of, makes of many
substances which one can think hardly to eat. The pesticides, the paint all have
been used to earn money. The profit is being desired much on the cost of lives
of others. Is it ethical in nature? The medicines which are life forces for the
human being are also prepared with ingredients hardly to eat but still on the
name of earning they all are flooded in market. We often heard the misfortunes
of consuming the wrong tablets and syrups.
The need of the hour is to make the professional understanding that earning a
profit is good but not using the unethical ways. The does and dont must be
clearly distinguished in front of them so as they will have the righteous vision of
the impact on the common man.

Chapter sixteen
Holistic approach towards life styles - the road ahead
This entire book is being designed to have a feel of what is being expected
from us in terms of human values is concerned. Why the moral and ethics is
important in day to life. How the life can be more designed and oriented if we
follow certain ethics in life. Whether these forced changes make any impact to
our personality or do we run as it is till now.
The question comes to mind that there are so many books in the market. Go to
any library or book store you will find immense literature on the ethical and
moral study. But these literatures dont make any difference in the life of any
ordinary man. Why? Some says that how can an ordinary man buy these
books. Another opinion may be that we know all what is written in these books.
Thirdly say these all are baseless, look at the society; they all are going to hell.
Why to worry about these silly things written in books, when the life is already
complicated.
The real approach toward these questions is that the life is for performing good
activities at different level. After all we all are human being, what is being
expected from us is to live in perfect manner so as to give space for other
living and non living to live and grow simultaneously.
The values are being different in nature. They are for the upliftment of an
individual to become more active and dutiful member of a family. The concept
of co existence was clearly defined in order to get the rightly feeling that the
members which are dependent on us are having certain expectation. They look
for us regarding their day to day necessity, love, affection and caring.
We have to look minutely that how good we become a good father, a caring
mother, a helping brother and sister or sincere child. The relationship was
elaborated in order to make a perfect family. The best the bonding among all
elements of the family, there will be hardly any family change in characteristic.
196 | P a g e
The close knitted family is always a boon for the society. Our society does
need more of these role model families.
Journey towards the holistic alternative the road ahead
The society has different range of consciousness. Some of our activities which
are in-human in nature are often labeled as the animal stint. The society
declares us as a member of animal consciousness or beast, whereas
sometimes our heroic deeds make us on top of the world. The same society
labels us as a social icon for our extraordinary endeavors.
How to awaken the collective consciousness is also being talked. The basic
aim was to give the society a radical change. A change which will shake the
worlds thought pattern and emotion and directed them in righteous direction so
as to make a better and wonderful atmosphere for all living creatures.
The need for self exploration
The method of self exploration has been explained in detail so as to give the
reader a better breath of life flavors. The life started with an occasion but
needs regular check up. We often called these milestones as Sanskaras (the
rituals) mostly perform in the Hindu mythologies. It is being desired from every
human being that he or she must start from the standing point and make at
least some definite progress. The difference in this progress is often certified
as the successful and unsuccessful person in the society.
Atam gyan (self realization): It is a definite mile stone of life but the problem
is that this is the last mile stone of life. One can easily achieve it if he or she
moves in definite direction with performing all the expected duties in perfect
manner. The certain check points in this self exploration are as follows:

The problem is that we are rather confuse about taking our own decision, how
can we take the world decisions?
The answer lies in the question itself. What is being needed from our side is
the belief in the self. One who belief in his potentiality can change anything and
everything in the world. The moment we have belief on the self, that we can
make the difference, it is noteworthy by everyone. A definite leap is being
required and there is nothing in this world which cannot be conquered.
The harmony brings everything. Music is harmony, harmony is perfection,
perfection is our dream, and our dream is heaven. The Henrys words are just
true music of life which when flew in the air makes our heart full with joy,
happiness and cheerfulness.
The harmony is being expected from an individual at different level. They are
1. Harmony with the self
2. Better understanding with the mind, body and soul
3. Harmony among family members
4. Harmony with the other members in society
5. Harmony with the other living and non living being
6. Harmony with nature
7. Harmony with the existence
The good show always begins with the clapping and cheers. Our birth is also
being celebrated in great manner. This also means that we are on this earth for
a big show and it is being started when we landed up on this earth. Now the
show must continue in grand style is the duty of the person. The joy- sorrow,
rich- poor are nothing but the different shades, which comes in life as the
regular tides approaches the harbor. One must try to get it accustomed with
these conditions as soon as possible. The better the early settlement in life, the
good is the show expected.
199 | P a g e
We often get educated through value based education. These value systems
are important as it shows us the real perspective of life. Lots of theories are not
going to make any big difference, it is being needed a concrete action plan.
Evolution at the individual level:
Look at the Deepak chopras words, Whatever relationships you have
attracted in your life at this moment, are precisely the ones you need in your
life at this moment. There is a hidden meaning behind all events, and this
hidden meaning is serving your own evolution.
The evolution is pre-defined stage in every individual life. The life blossom or
sink is the matter of fate but the desired is to do efforts. Some time the effort
goes in vain and we try to curse the God and when the same effort converts
into fruits, we hardly thank the God. The wonderful thing is that the God is
neither become happy or angry by our deeds. He is Omnipotent, omniscient
but most detachable from all the existing entities.
Remember the Progress has newer followed a straight ascending line, but it
moves into a spiral with rhythms of progress and retrogression, of evolution
and dissolution. The ups and downs are the part of game. One must not sit at
the side of game line and think of his or her result. It is a life game and one
must play it with full of enthusiasm and energy. The relationships mother,
father, sister, wife and children all around are the wonderful players which
come and goes as the life progress. So to become a most successful player of
the life game one has to excel in his endeavors at every moment.
The individual evolution must be in harmony with the nature and can be easily
achieved through self observation, self introspection and self refinement. The
evolution must owned basic criterias i.e.
Eco friendly
People friendly
200 | P a g e
Jimmedari : the dutifulness, the responsible attitude will justify the actions in
most perfect manner.
Imandari : honesty towards the work, employer, with the colleagues and with
the nation.
Bahaduri : bravery at all level, on the moral, social and economical front and if
needed for the nation also.
Chamasheelta: forgiveness, this will develop with a big heart, let go and
forgiving the mistakes.
Tartamyata: adjustment with the activities and become a part of the scenario.
The professional front will also be successful for these individuals. They know
the self so they can better justified their position, job and responsibility
ultimately it will have a clear cut impact on the final output. The organization
will love these fellows and they can achieve excellence in all parts of life. The
key is the transformation of the self into a better self or a family member later a
better member of the society and ultimately a good citizen of the country.

some adjustment it induces in life. Just think of that the small change needs so
many adjustments and we are talking about the personality transformation, the
major change in the thought pattern and working style, how it can be easily
acceptable in the society?
The transition must be done in phases. If we want to change the ongoing trend
in the society in a day then it is not acceptable. The change which we have to
bring must come out from the inner core of the hearth rather than pushing from
different sections of the society. The small change will lead towards the big
change and if this can be done on the group mass then naturally we can have
a perfect society which will be purely based on values and virtues.
The holistic approach is being needed for this societal change. The question is
that the change can be foreseen in different parts of the world in small
segments. It is hardly noticeable as it is not making a strong impact on the
world. Our efforts in bringing these positive efforts in one umbrella are the most
urgent need of the institution, organization and society.
The Road ahead:
Looking around the society one will hesitate to move on this road but the
problem is to make progress. Most of us know that the progress lies in
personality transformation, the thought transformation and ultimately the
emergence of the new society. The people are hesitant starters but the
progress is definite. The earlier the start betters the chances of completion in
time. The brave hearts are expected to lead the journey and the society will
follow them.
The footprints of the success are already being defined, what we are supposed
to do is to start the journey and finish it slowly but steadily. The time is not the
factor at present what is all being needed is the efforts, commitment and zeal
to go ahead, to make the progress and to achieve excellence in the corporate
culture. The future is all waiting for the leaders to come forward and become
the torch bearer of the social change.
