2. Understanding The Human Being As
Co-Existence of Self
“I” & “Body”
• Human being is more than just a Body. He is a co-existence of both the
Self(I/ Jivana) and the Body.
• There is an exchange of information between the two. Our body acts
according to the suggestions given by our “Jivana”.
3. All the human feelings of happiness, sorrow, pain, excitement etc. are all
experienced by “I” and not the “Body”.
4. Having Physical Facilities ensures the fulfillment of the needs of the body, but
it does not fulfill the needs of the “I”.
Hence, for every human being, we need to fulfill the needs of both:
Of “I” = Happiness (Sukha) सुख
Of “Body” = Physical Facilities (Suvidha) सुविधा
One of these cannot replace the other.
5. I Communicates Through Knowledge, Assumption, Recognition and
Fulfillment.
Body Communicates only through identifying & satisfying.
6. UNDERSTANDING THE ACTIVITIES IN THE SELF
AND THE ACTIVITIES IN THE BODY:
Understanding Self (I), My Self and Yourself :
The individual self consists of attributes and personality traits that differentiate us from other individuals the
relation self is Defined by our relationship with significant others (e.g. sister) finally the collective self deflects our
membership in social group like our group (our friend cercle ).
