Fulfillment of Needs�

​

• The need of the Self ('I') for happiness is fulfilled by right understanding and right feelings, while the need of the Body is fulfilled by physical facilities.

​

• The need of the Self ('I') is qualitative, and continuous in nature, while the need of the Body is quantitative and temporary in nature.

HARMONY IN FAMILY

01.07. 2019

Harmony in the Family Understanding Values in Human Relationships

Family as the Basic Unit of Human Interaction

Here is a set of proposals for you to verify:

• 1. Relationship IS and it exists between the Self (‘I’) and the other Self (‘I’).
• 2. The Self (‘I’) has feelings in a relationship. These feelings are between ‘I’ and ‘I’.
• 3. These feelings in the Self (‘I’) are definite. i.e. they can be identified with definiteness.
• 4. Recognizing and fulfilling these feelings leads to mutual happiness in relationship. Now, we will explore into each of the above in detail

01.07. 2019

Relationship IS and it exists between the Self (‘I’) and the other Self (‘I’).

01.07. 2019

The Self (‘I’) has feelings in a relationship. These feelings are between ‘I’ and ‘I’.

01.07. 2019

Recognizing and Fulfilling these Feelings Leads to Mutual Happiness in a Relationship

01.07. 2019

Justice (Nyãya��

Justice is the recognition of values (the definite feelings) in relationship, their fulfilment, the right evaluation of the fulfilment resulting in mutual happiness (Ubhay-tripti).

01.07. 2019

What is the State Today?�

• We need to evaluate for ourselves whether we are able to ensure justice in relationships.
• Let us answer a few questions listed below:
• l Do we want justice only on few occasions or every moment?
• l Will the justice get ensured in the family or in courts of law?
• l In how many relationships and on how many occasions, are we presently able to ensure justice?

Recognizing Relationships with others based only on the Body

• Struggling against relationships only increases the problem for us, it increases the contradiction in us.
• We are at ease only when we are in accordance with our natural acceptance, which is to recognize and fulfil our relationship with one, many and in fact, every human being.
• When we see the relationship, we accept it. When we are not able to see.
• The feelings in relationship are the same with every human being, only that we are not aware of them. This is something we are going to explore in detail as we proceed further.

01.07. 2019

Relationships largely based on the Exchange of Physical Goods

​

​

• The fact is, what we need first is the right understanding and this right understanding is not ensured by having money. Secondly, we need the feelings in relationships to be fulfilled, which is also not ensured by having money!

01.07. 2019

Values in Human Relationships�

• Feelings (Values) in Relationships :

On the basis of lack of competence, we conclude about the lack of intention of the other.

​

When we doubt their intention, instead of accepting the other as a relative, we have a feeling of opposition.

​

This is the common mistake that we make in relationship today.

Respect– As the Right Evaluation�

• Respect is right evaluation.
• When we are rightly evaluated, we feel respected.

​

• When we are not rightly evaluated, we feel disrespected.

​

• Disrespect can take place in three ways:
• Over evaluation – evaluating for more than what it is
• Under evaluation – evaluating for less than what it is
• Otherwise evaluation – evaluating for other than what it is

01.07. 2019

Minimum Content of Respect – The Other is Similar to Me

• Our purpose is the same
• Our programme is same
• Our potential is same

01.07. 2019

Disrespect Arising out of Differentiation leading to Discrimination

• First set of differentiation is on the basis of body– on the basis of age, gender, race and physical strength

​

• The second set of differentiation is made on the basis of physical facility – on the basis of wealth and post.

​

• The third basis of differentiation is on the basis of beliefs – on the basis of different isms (thought systems like socialism, capitalism, etc.)
