Now we can see that…
Happiness is an indicator, a feedback, that we
- have understood harmony and
at all 4 levels of our being
- live in harmony

Unhappiness is an indicator, a feedback, that we


- have not understood harmony and/or at one or more of the 4 levels
- do not live in harmony of our being

Our role is to make the effort at all 4 levels of our being


- to understand harmony and 1. In the Self, as an Individual
2. In Family
- to live in harmony 3. In Society
4. In Nature/Existence

This is our role in existence …

Program for Human Being (Our Role in Existence)
Existence is co-existence – which is ever present
Human beings have two important things to do:
 1. To understand the co-existence
1.1. To understand co-existence – Right Understanding
(Kku)
1.2. To ensure the feeling, thought of co-existence –
Resolution (lek/kku)
 2. To live in co-existence
2.1. To live in co-existence with human-beings (Justice)
–family to world family – Undivided Society
(v[k.M lekt)
2.2. To live in co-existence in nature (Mutual fulfillment)
–family order to world family order – Universal Human Order
(lkoZHkkSe O;oLFkk)
By these two being ensured by human beings, the result will be Undivided
Society and Universal Human Order on Earth, in which Harmony and
peace are very natural outcomes (and there is every provision in Existence
for it)

DETAILS

Transition to Universal Human Education
Step 1: Introduce a foundation course on Universal Human Values in parallel
with other courses with a view to initiate the process of self-exploration,
leading to right understanding (gyan). i.e. introduce right understanding and
right feeling in the academic curriculum. Higher level courses may be offered
in addition to the foundation course. Social projects, social internship and
conducting the course as an integrated workshop may take place wherever
the teacher is well prepared. This will ensure better grasping and
comprehension by the students
1. Prepare Teachers, Parents and Policy makers
2. Introduce Universal Human Values in Higher Education. The student can
develop clarity about
 Human goal & universal human order
 Human conduct
 Guidelines for Professional Ethics, which is a particular aspect of human
conduct
Step 2: Align the academic curriculum (all courses) in the institution with right
understanding, leading to thought about all encompassing resolution
(samadhan), so as to establish Value Based Education at the level of the
institution
Step 3: The lifestyle and institute culture reflects Value Based Living. i.e. on the
basis of right understanding and right feeling, behavior, work
61
Transition to Universal Human Education
Step 4: The institute develops into a live model of living with happiness and
prosperity, i.e. on the basis of right understanding and right feeling, behavior,
work and participation in the institution order. Programs for self-sufficiency of
the institution through cyclic & mutually enriching production activities and
take such activities to a scale where all the faculty, staff and students can be
supported internally. This will help transform the institution into a family
participating with self-responsibility for a cohesive harmonious journey toward
excellence for all

Step 5: The institute becomes a nodal center to share and promote value
education and value based living in the local community. Institution works on
all 5 dimensions

Step 6: The institute becomes a resource centre for the district level. The
Institution works in collaboration with other institutions for all 5 dimensions

Step 7: The institute becomes a resource centre for the National level.

Step 8: The institute becomes a resource centre for Undivided Human Society
and Universal Human Order
62
Initial Steps in Implementation
1. Understand the Content, Possibility & Responsibility – Participate in
workshops, discuss with people who have worked toward universal
human values [VC, Heads of Institution…]

2. Form a Value Education Cell at the University level, consisting of


committed decision-makers & people who will take responsibilty &
can follow things through [VC]

3. Create Awareness & Support [University VE Cell]

4. Complete the formalities for introducing the Foundation Course


[University VE Cell]

5. Select & Prepare Teachers [Heads of Institution]

6. Communicate with the Students [College VE Cell]

7. Launch the Foundation Course [University VE Cell]


63
Further Activities
The foundation course has to be followed up with other suitable inputs in
the form of elective courses, projects, practical training, self study
and practice to move towards a comprehensive EHV package

It takes some time (typically 1-3 years) to establish the foundation. Once
it is established, then further supportive activity can be fruitful

1. Social Projects & Socially Relevant Final Year Projects

2. Social Internship

3. Higher Level Courses e.g. "Professional Ethics for Managers"

4. Advanced Study (PhD etc.) e.g. "Management by Relationship"

5. Living the Values in all the dimensions

 Students do socially relevant humanities projects, detailed studies, reports or
participate in social activities as a part of this course
 Students meet every week in small groups along with 2 faculty mentors
 At the end of the course a 4-day workshop is conducted. Faculty, faculty
spouses and senior students take the responsibility for conducting it

Advanced courses include “Work & Life” & “Searching for a Humane Society”

Medium of instruction is students’ mother tongue/language preferred by the


student (e.g. in 2010 six workshops were run in parallel – 1 in Telugu, 2 in
Hindi and 3 in English)

so it naturally expresses itself in your behaviour / work

Deal with the baggage – you may act on the basis of it. Don’t get
worked-up. Depending on external conditions, those Desires,
Thoughts & Expectations may get more active & you may forget about
this

It is advisable to:
1.Go through a workshop once in 6 months (5% listening in 1st workshop
+ lot of questions) – so scope for 20 workshops
2.Go through the literature (incl video of lectures & text book)
3.Meet once in a week for 2-3 hrs (sharing, discussing one topic)
