9.1. Note your behaviour throughout the day

    • At home

List how many times you responded in your behaviour and how many times you reacted. Calculate the percentage of reaction and response in your behaviour.

9.2. Note any two situations where you reacted. Now explore to see what would have been your ‘response’ in those two situations everything else remaining the same.

Introduction�

In previous sessions, we explored the feeling of trust

My natural acceptance (intention) is to be happy and make the other happy

The natural acceptance of the other is also the same

However, we both may be lacking in competence

So, we make a program with each other, essentially on the basis of our present level of competence, with trust on the natural acceptance (intention)

For this, it is essential to make right evaluation of our mutual competence – the competence of the other as well as my own competence

Minimum Content of Respect: The Other is Similar to Me

  1. Purpose y{;
      • I want to live with continuous happiness & prosperity
      • The other also wants to live with continuous happiness & prosperity

Our purpose is same (on the basis of Natural Acceptance)

  • Program dk;ZØe
      • My program is to understand and to live in harmony at all levels of being
      • The program of the other is also to understand and to live in harmony at all levels of being (Individual, family, society and nature/existence)

Our program is same

  • Potential {kerk

Differences

There are similarities at the level of the self in terms of purpose, program and potential

There are also differences between one human being and another:

    • On the basis of the body: age, gender, race, strength…
    • On the basis of the physical facility: wealth, post
    • On the basis of beliefs: isms, sects, information…

In living, are we:

A. Trying to accept the other as being similar to me?

or

B. Trying to show that we are different from the other?

In place of doing right evaluation, we often differentiate on various grounds…

Differentiation = Disrespect

Not Naturally Acceptable… Opposition, Movements…

Differentiation may become a major concern in our imagination, which we would like to resolve

Verify: Are you also differentiating (or a victim of differentiation)?

Resolution of Concern – Understanding Respect in Completeness

1. Purpose – Our purpose (Natural Acceptance) is same

2. Program – Our program is same

3. Potential – Our potential is same

The Other is Similar to Me

4. Competence – On the basis of right evaluation of our mutual competence, I recognise our complementarity and fulfill it:

If the other has more understanding, is more responsible than me

        • I am committed to understand from the other

If I have more understanding, I am more responsible than the other

        • I live with responsibility with the other, unconditionally, unperturbed by the behaviour of the other
        • I am committed to facilitate understanding in the other (once the other is assured in relationship, and not before that)

COMPLETE CONTENT of RESPECT

The Other is Similar to Me. We are complementary to each other

Differentiation – with improper evaluation

Differentiation on the basis of

  • Language
  • Accent
  • Skin colour
  • Caste, creed, sect, race, region…

Differentiation often leads to

groupism, rivalry, fights…

With complete understanding of the feeling of respect, we will complement each other

There will be a major shift in focus, from

    • Body to Self-Body
    • Fault finding to empathy
    • Language to feeling
    • Showing off wealth to its right utilization
    • Skill to value-based skill
    • Mere intelligence to wisdom-guided intelligence

Complementarity – with right evaluation

In living, are we:

A. Trying to be complementary to the other?

or

B. Trying to show that we are different from the other?

Sum Up

Respect = Right Evaluation (with a feeling of trust on intention)

Under evaluation, over evaluation or otherwise evaluation is disrespect

Differentiation is disrespect

Respect (on the basis of Self) – The other is like me, we are complementary to each other

The only difference is in our level of understanding

(how much of our imagination is on the basis of our Natural Acceptance)

If the other has more understanding, s(he) is more responsible than me

        • I am committed to understand from the other

If I have more understanding, I am more responsible than the other

        • I live with responsibility with the other, unconditionally, unperturbed by the behaviour of the other
        • I am committed to facilitate understanding in the other (once the other is assured in relationship, and not before that)

Note: The feeling can be universal, the expression can be different, based on local, cultural, geographical, social, family practices, etc.
