 Practice Session
for Course in
Human Values and Professional Ethics
• All the teachers/students have to do is
1. Open the required practice session,
2. Read the statements made or questions posed.
3. For a statement see within yourself to find out
whether its true for you or not? For a question,
think over it and find out your answer.
4. Press the forward arrow and go to step 2.
 Practice Session-3
• Natural acceptance is a tool to verify whether a
proposal is right or wrong e.g. what is naturally
acceptable to you in relationship, respect or
disrespect; trust or distrust; love or hate; nurturing
or exploitation?
• What is naturally acceptable to you in work with
rest of the nature, to enrich the nature or to deprive
the nature; to waste the natural resources or to
rightly utilize the natural resources?
 Practice Session-3
• Try to observe whether natural acceptance is
always for right or otherwise.
• Although you will find that natural acceptance is
always for right, but it is necessary to verify
through your own experience also.
• You can verify any proposal experimentally as
well. A right proposal will lead to
– Mutual happiness in behavior with other human
beings.
– Mutual prosperity in work with rest of the nature.
 Practice Session-3
• Now try to observe whether you are living your
life according to your natural acceptance.
• This is the time to look into the meaning of
happiness and unhappiness.
• When you live in the state which is naturally
acceptable to you, you are in the state of
happiness.
• To be forced to live in the state which is not
naturally acceptable to you is unhappiness.
 Practice Session-3
• All you need to do is to refer to your natural
acceptance to remove this disharmony.
• Now, try to answer these questions:
– What are the major problems in your family?
– How many of them are due to lack of physical
facilities and how many of them are due to lack of
fulfillment of relationship or right understanding?
– How much time and efforts are you investing for both
of them- physical facilities and fulfillment of
relationship?
 Practice Session-3
• We can observe that most of these problem are
due to lack of fulfillment of relationship.
• But we try to solve the problems due to lack of
relationship through physical facilities.
• Therefore, we are spending most of our time and
resources for earning physical facilities, ignoring
fulfillment of right feelings in relationship.
 Practice Session-3
• Is physical facility necessary and sufficient for the
happiness of a human being or all these three are
required: right understanding, fulfillment of
relationship and physical facility.
• Physical facility might be necessary and sufficient
for an animal, but it can not be true for a human
being.
• If food is given to a dog, it does not matter to him
whether it is given respectfully or disrespectfully.
But, it does matter for a human being.
 Practice Session-3
• Now, recall your list of desires and try to chalk
out which of these three are required to fulfill
each one of them e.g. respect can be fulfilled only
through right feeling in relationship. For a
prosperous life, both right understanding and
physical facility, are required.
