Whenever the evaluation is not right, it is disrespect

If we observe, we will find in our day to day relationship, we tend to do


one of the above three, leading to disrespect

Check for yourself in every interaction with others whether it is respect


or disrespect
20
Respect : Right Evaluation on the basis of the Self (I)
1. Our purpose (y{;) is the same, our natural acceptance lgt Lohfr is
the same Just as I want to be continuously happy, so does the other
2. Our program dk;Ze is the same Just as I can live happily by
understanding and living in harmony at all levels, so it is for the other
3. Our potential {kerk is the same Desire, Thought & Selection bPNk]
fopkj] vkkk dh v{k; f;k] kf is continuous in me and also in the other.
Just as I can understand, so can the other

The minimum content of respect is to be able to see and accept that

Differentiation (Disrespect)
Differentiation = Disrespect

Body Physical Beliefs


Facilities

Gender Age Race Physical Wealth Post Isms Sects


Strength

Evaluation on the basis of Body, Physical Facilities or Beliefs


(preconditioning) turns out to be differentiation and therefore
disrespect

Differentiation like this has led to resentments and protests. Eg


Women's Lib, Generation Gap, Black vs White, Powerful vs Opressed,
Rich-Poor, Communism-Capatilism, Hindu-Muslim and so on
22
Differentiation Respect

I evaluate on the basis
1. We have the same
of body, physical
purpose
facilities or belief
2. We have the same
(pre conditioning) program
3. We have the same
potential
(difference only in competence)
The other is different

We are competitors. I We are complementary

The feeling of being related

to:
None
One
Many
Everyone

None The feeling of being related to none in opposition to all


One The feeling of being related to one
Affection
Many The feeling of being related to many
Everyone The feeling of being related to all Love

The feeling of being related
Affection The feeling of acceptance of the other as ones relative
(feeling of being related to the other)

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

Excellence JsBrk
Understanding of the Harmony &
at all 4 levels
Living in that Harmony

Excellence and competition are not similar.


In excellence, one helps to bring the other to his level
In competition, he hinders the other from reaching to his level
Excellence is Absolute & Definite
Competition is always relative, with no definite state, no point of
completion

Reverence The feeling of acceptance for Excellence (JsBrk dh Lohd`fr dk

Check for yourself

In relationship:

What is the role of physical facilities?


What is the role of feelings?
What is the priority?
Where is the bulk of the effort?

Justice (U;k;) is ensuring right understanding in the self leading to right feelings
and it's expression in relationship resulting in mutual hapiness. We have
Natural Acceptance for Justice for All from Family to World Family

Natural acceptance for Justice (U;k;) is already within you


Right understanding makes you aware
Once you are aware of it, there is continuity of these feelings and you are able
to fulfill them
Having right feelings in oneself leads to ones happiness
Expressing these feelings to the other leads to happiness in the other

entire existence
5. It is a process of recognizing and fulfilling one's relationship with
every unit in nature
6. It is a process of knowing Human Conduct (ekuoh; vkpj.k) and
living according to it (Desire for definite Human Conduct, eg. Feeling
of relationship, respect; expression can be creative)
7. It is a process of
Self-organization (Lrra=rk) - being in harmony in oneself

Self-expression, extension (LojkT;) - living in harmony with others

We will explore:
1. Harmony in the human being
2. Harmony in the family
3. Harmony in the society
4. Harmony in nature / existence

Essential Complimentarity of Skills and Values
1. What to do Purpose Value Domain Value Education
2. How to do Program Skill Domain Technical Education

Both are essential we can not do away with any of them


What is the priority?
Are we ensuring both? With the right priority?
Who decides the value? and on what basis is it decided?
If #1 is not clear, this is decided by others, by assumptions dumped into us, hence
these decisions are not definite
If #1 is clear, the decisions are definite and fulfilling

We can see that both, values & skills, are necessary; they are
complementary; the priority is values then skills; we want to decide the
purpose or value from within ourselves

(Since it is about purpose, value education is relevant for and can be


taken up by teachers from all branches, all subjects)

Do not accept it just because it is written in some book
a reading from some instrument
stated by some person

Which process is acceptable to you?


a) Directions in the form of dos & donts, assuming without verifying (updesh)

Urgent Need for Effective Inputs in Value Education
Thus we urgently need to cater to this domain adequetely in order to
fructify our efforts on skill development along with proficient
engineers, we want to ensure that we are making good human
beings

It is the prime purpose of this interaction to sufficently highlight this need


and to visualize tangible steps towards fulfilling this

We shall also have a glimpse as to how this important input can be


effectively integrated in our present day curricula

Accordingly, we shall be discussing this input in the form of A


Foundation Course in Human Values & Professional Ethics and how
we may contribute to this significant experiment
