Preconditioning, Sensation and Natural Acceptance

Preconditioning: Assuming without knowing. Depends on something or someone outside, keeps changing. Not sure if it leads to harmony or if it leads to contradiction

Sensation: Happiness from favourable sensation of Sound, Touch, Form, Taste, Smell through body

Happiness from indulgence

tasty-necessary 🡪 tasty-unnecessary 🡪 tasteless-unnecessary 🡪 intolerable

Natural Acceptance: Purpose or what to be, what to do as a human being. Leads to harmony (happiness) within, continuity is desirable, possible

For Relationship [for mutual fulfillment, complimentarity, not for opposition]

For Harmony [for mutual enrichment, not for exploitation- being in harmony within, and harmony with outside]

For Co-existence [for co-existence, not for conflict]

State of Imagination – Random and Disorganised

If the imagination is random and disorganised

It indicates a state of confusion

Many of these imaginations may be

contrary to each other and contrary to the natural acceptance

This contradiction in desires, in thoughts, in expectations, this contradiction between desires and thoughts, this contradiction between desire-thought-expectation and the natural acceptance, all these contradictions result in unhappiness

If we observe carefully, we realize that we have accumulated a lot of desires, which are resulting in numerous thoughts and expectations

Harmony in the Self is realised when there are no contradictions in the imagination and all imagination is in accordance with natural acceptance

Sum Up

The Self is a unit of consciousness. It consists of various activities which are going on continuously

    • The activities of desire, thought and expectation are together called imagination
    • We can begin to observe the Self by becoming aware of our
      • imagination and
      • natural acceptance
    • Behaviour and work are expressions of imagination

Imagination may be motivated by preconditioning or sensation or natural acceptance

    • When imagination is fully motivated by natural acceptance, the Self is in harmony; and therefore in a state of continuous happiness. This is the state of self-organization (स्वतंत्रता). In this state, the conduct is definite and human

    • When the imagination is motivated by preconditioning or sensation, the Self may be in harmony or disharmony/contradiction; and thus in a state of happiness or unhappiness. The state of the self is largely decided by external influence. This is a state of enslavement (परतंत्रता). In this state, the conduct is indefinite (it may be human or inhuman)

Sanskar

Sanskar =

Acceptances derived out of ∑ [ Desire + Thought + Expectation ]

from all time

Presently, it is likely to be a mixture of:

    • Understanding of the human reality, of the universal, invariant existential laws / principles
    • Conclusions drawn from life events / experiences, which may or may not be in line with the existential laws / principles

“What I Am” is largely our sanskar

Our perspective is a part of our sanskar

Our tendencies, habits, likes-dislikes are also a part of our sanskar

Presently, it is likely to be a mixture of :

    • Understanding of the human reality, of the universal, invariant existential laws / principles
    • Conclusions drawn from life events / experiences, which may or may not be in line with the existential laws / principles

Sanskar is updated over time:

Sanskar (t+1) = Sanskar (t) + Environment (t) + Self-exploration (t)

As we self-explore, verify and understand, our sanskar gets updated

A conducive environment is helpful

FAQs for Lecture 10

Understanding Harmony in the Self

46 of 75

Question(s): What is Self Response

  • Is Self the same as the mind or the soul?

  • Isn’t what is being said here the same as spirituality?

  • The mind is a part of the Self. The activity of imagination which includes activities of desire, thought and expectation if referred to as mind. Soul has been used in different ways, sometime it is used to represent the highest activity of the self while in many cases it is used to mean self as a whole.

  • We are trying to work for a system of education that makes us human. So, we are talking about humanness- what is being human.

Because human being is coexistence of self (consciousness) and body (material), hence, we have to understand the laws of material as well as the laws of consciousness. This is what we are trying to do.

Question(s): Activities of the Self Response

  • I do think sometimes but not all the time. Like when I am asleep, I do not think. So, why do we say activities of Self are continuous?

  • Most of the time, we are not able to remember what is going on in our imagination. Is there some practice, like meditation, to become aware of it?
  • Do you dream while sleeping? Does dream include thinking? Now,, try to be aware of your imagination when you are awake, then slowly you can be aware of your imagination even when you are asleep, then you will be able to verify whether you are thinking while sleeping or not.

  • One simple way to be aware of your self, be aware of the imagination going on in the self at this moment of time. If you are aware, it will be there in your remembrance. When you pay attention to your imagination, you are able to see it, because you already have the potential to see, you only have to exercise this potential ,

48

49 of 75

We all have the capacity to pay attention, to observe… to understand

You are already paying attention… to whatever you consider important

So, the main question is not “how to pay attention”, rather it is “what to pay attention to”

(object of attention)

One only has to see, to decide that:

I am important, Self is important

My imagination is important

Then I will pay attention to the Self and my imagination

Science of material

- You can look at it outside, you may not be

Science of consciousness

  • You are part of it, you want to and do get transformed

50

51 of 75

Question(s): Activities of the Self Response

  • What is the need to see these activities separately? How can we differentiate between desire and thought and expectation? It all seems to be one thing

  • If you do not observe things with fineness, everything seems to one gross thing. However, when you look at it with subtleness, you see that it is composed of many things. Like that, imagination is composed of three different levels of activities of the self- desire, thought and expectation. As explained, desire relates to our purpose, what we want to be, our feelings, while thought is working out the details of how to fulfill this purpose and expectation is what I need to do with the world outside. Desire is at the base of thought and expectation, so, if we have to evaluate our imagination and set it right, it has to be done at the level of desire, the feeling; and this desire, this feeling can be easily verified with our natural acceptance.

Question(s): Activities of the Self Response

  • What is the difference between deciding and selecting? They seem same to me

  • What is in activity 1 & 2? Why is it kept blank?

  • Deciding is working out the details of how to fulfill the purpose, the desire; whereas selecting has to do with what to do at the level of world outside. For example, if I have feeling of respect, then this is my desire, now, when work out the details of how to express this feeling of respect, by giving blessing, touching feet, greeting with some gift etc., it is a thought ; when this greeting is to be done with a flower bouque, it is expectation.

  • We will talk about these higher activities in detail in later course UHV III; however, we will very briefly introduce the activities of realisation and understanding as 1 and 2 towards the end of the session.

Question(s): Activities of the Self Response

  • Isn’t desire and intention the same?

  • What is the meaning of competence? Is it the skill?

  • Intention has to do with the feeling which is in accordance with natural acceptance, hence is definite, while desire could any feeling, in accordance or against the natural acceptance, hence is definite. For example, intention will always be for feeling of respect while desire could be for feeling of respect or disrespect.

  • The word competence is used to represent what is our state at the level of imagination-what is our desire, thought and expectation, as that will decide our behaviour with world outside as well.
  • The more our imagination is in harmony, the more competent we are

Question(s): Activities of the Self Response

  • Can you tell us something about the conscious, subconscious and super conscious mind

  • The sense in which these words are used in general is the following-
  • when we are aware of what is going on in the self, it is being conscious,
  • when we are not aware of what is going on in the self, it is being subconscious,
  • when we are operating with higher activities of the self, like realisation and understanding, it is called super conscious,
  • Unconscious – not aware of the world outside

Question(s): Preconditioning Response

  • What is preconditioning? “resources are limited, Desires are unlimited” is that a preconditioning or reality?

(it implies that everyone is bound to be deprived!

  • Preconditioning is something which is prevailing in the society which we have accepted without verification or without knowing. We are dictated by the world outside. A preconditioning may or may not correspond to a reality.
  • As far as this particular preconditioning is concerned, it does not correspond to a reality because
  • Desires, if we understand properly, are definite i.e., continuity of happiness and prosperity and the amount of physical facility required for ensuring prosperity is limited and can be identified.
  • Availability of resources in nature and capacity to produce in human being is more than what is required.

Desires are definite

Resources are limited, but more than our needs

Therefore, everyone can be prosperous)

Need to study

  1. Science of material (the world outside) – I am what I am, I don’t have to change
  2. Science of consciousness (the world within) – I have to see myself… then I am motivated to develop, to transform to human consciousness

Question(s): Conditioning Response

  • Pavlov has a theory of conditioning. How does it apply to us?

  • If we identify ourselves as the body and therefore, if the self is influenced by the body then Pavlov theory of conditioning will hold good. However, if we can understand the self and body separately and the self has right understanding and right feeling, than self is in a self-organised state and it responds to any input from the body, and not react. Therefore, its response to the input from the body will depend upon what self finds appropriate for maintaining the health of the body rather than the conditioning which is tried to be created through the conditioning input.
  • Self can even articulate that some conditioning is being created and therefore, he will be out of conditioning.

Question(s): Motivation of Imagination Response

  • What exactly is natural acceptance? Is it same as right understanding?

  • How can I be sure that my imagination is motivated by my natural acceptance?
  • Natural acceptance is something which is part of our being. It is innate, invariant, and uncorrupted by the preconditioning for ex. we have natural acceptance for the feeling of relationship, feeling of nurturing the body. It is the answer that we get from our conscience or the inner voice or the pure observer which is innermost part of the self.
  • Right understanding is understanding the reality as it is, and this can be ensured through the process of self-exploration based on natural acceptance and experiential validation.
  • If my imagination is in accordance with my natural acceptance, then I am in state of harmony within, happiness within. If not, then I am in contradiction within, unhappiness within.

Question(s): Motivation of Imagination Response

  • The exercise on list of desires was interesting. Most of the motivation turned out to be from preconditioning and sensation. So now, I can understand the need for exploring into my natural acceptance and also to check my preconditionings. What exactly should I do for this? Any practice?

  • This has already been mentioned that we have to be aware of our own self every moment and it can have different steps
  • Being aware of the imagination going on in the self, particularly the desire, the feeling
  • Verifying whether this desire, this feeling is in naturally acceptable to me or not
  • Whether it leads to harmony or happiness within or otherwise
  • Verifying that the feeling of relationship, harmony and coexistence is naturally acceptable to me and not the feeling of opposition, disharmony and struggle.
  • To ensure that the desire, the feeling is in accordance with the feeling of relationship, harmony and coexistence,

Question(s): Harmony in the Self, Happiness Response

  • When I am reading something, I think of many other things... How can I focus on what I have to read?

  • Our attention keeps going to the things which we feel is important. So we have to decide what is important for me at this point of time.
  • If there are many things that are important, than I will have to set up a priority among them. If I am able to do that, than my attention will be focused on the thing which is assigned the highest priority.

Question(s): Harmony in the Self, Happiness Response

  • It is said that we have to get rid of desires to be happy. Isn’t that true?

  • We have to have the right desire and we have to have the continuity of this right desire. We have to get rid of the wrong desire and wrong feelings. Infact they are not the real desires, real feelings but we have assumed them to be our desire, our feeling because of the prevalent beliefs in the society. Therefore we should get rid of these wrong desires, wrong feelings.
  • In essence, to be happy we have to have the right desire, right feeling.
    • Truth, Understanding relationship, harmony & co-existence
    • Love, Feeling of acceptance of all, Feeling of co-existence, harmony, relationship
    • Compassion, Thought… of how to fulfil my feeling of Love…

Question(s): Harmony in the Self, Happiness Response

  • What is the meaning of “development of the Self”?

  • Development of self would mean having right understanding i.e., understanding the harmony (relationship, harmony, coexistence) at all levels of our being and feeling of harmony at all levels of our being. This will ensure the state of harmony or happiness in continuity in the self.

Question(s): Harmony in the Self, Happiness Response

  • After the last tutorial session on self-awareness, my problems have increased! I was quite happy before. Now I can see many contradictions within… I cant even sleep properly. What to do?

  • When we start becoming aware of our self, we are able to see that there are contradictions within and therefore unhappiness within. This was there even before, but we were not aware of it. So it appears that our unhappiness has increased.
  • As a matter of fact, when we become aware of our self, our imagination, and our natural acceptance, than we are able to get rid of many contradictions that were there within and therefore there is a increase in our state of being in harmony and happiness within.

Question(s): Harmony in the Self, Happiness Response

  • I can see that I can work within. But what about outside, with others. I have a desire to work also and to be with the family also. I want to fulfill both and feel that if any of those is not fulfilled, I will be unhappy. What is the way forward?

  • We have to understand the harmony in society and harmony in family & nature and then define a way of life, a system in the society, which ensures the fulfilment of all these harmony. Then we will be free of these contradictions.
