This document discusses the importance of trust in relationships and harmony in the family. It proposes that trust on the intention of others, based on the understanding that all human beings naturally want to be happy, is the foundation of relationships. Such trust can be unconditional and continuous, whereas trust on competence depends on events and may change. Self-reflection questions are provided to examine one's own level of trust on the intentions of family and friends. Developing trust on others' intentions based on a shared natural acceptance, rather than doubts based on events, is important for addressing problems in relationships.

Universal Human Values

2. Process
Whatever is said is a Proposal (Do not assume it to be true or false) Verify it on Your
Own Right – on the basis of your Natural Acceptance
It is a process of Dialogue
A dialogue between me and you, to start with
It soon becomes a dialogue within your own self
between what you are and what you really want to be (your natural
acceptance)
The purpose of this session is to initiate this internal dialogue

3. Proposals

7. What We Really Want to Be
Do we want to be happy?
Do we want to be prosperous?
Do we want the continuity of
happiness and prosperity?

8. Do we want to be happy?
Do we want to be prosperous?
Do we want the continuity of happiness and
prosperity?
Are we happy?
Are we prosperous?
Is there continuity of our happiness and
prosperity?
What We Really Want to Be What We Are
Why this gap?
- between what we really want to be and what we are
What are we doing to fill this gap? Is it getting filled up or getting wider?
We will explore into this

9. Do we want to be happy?
Do we want to be prosperous?
Do we want the continuity of happiness and
prosperity?
What We Really Want to Be Effort
Have we assumed that happiness and prosperity will be ensured
when we have enough physical facility?
What effort are we making, other than accumulation of physical facility?
Is our effort :
– To understand the true meaning of
happiness and prosperity and ensure it?
– or
– Just for accumulation of physical facility?

10. Physical Facility is Necessary…
When an animal has lack of physical facility it becomes uncomfortable, when it gets physical
facility it becomes comfortable
Eg. When a cow gets a stomach-full of grass, it becomes comfortable, sits and chews the cud
When a human being has lack of physical facility, he becomes uncomfortable and unhappy
But once he gets the physical facility, he forgets about it and starts thinking about hundred other
things
(Check for yourself if you feel happy every day that you are getting enough to eat?)

11. Something more is required (over and above physical facility)
Physical facility is necessary for human being
but
something more is also required

12. Basic Human Aspiration
Basic Human Aspiration
= Happiness and Prosperity  Continuous
Happiness
= To be in a state of Harmony
Prosperity
= The feeling of having more than required Physical Facility

13. Some Prevailing Notions related to Prosperity
 Accumulation of Wealth = Prosperity?
 The richer you are, the more prosperous you are, i.e. the more you have accumulated, the
more prosperous you are

14. Some Prevailing Notions of Happiness
Owning / accumulating physical facility
Physical facility is required, but it alone does not suffice for human being
Dependence on physical facility, can’t be continuous
Pleasure (from favourable sensation)
Sound, Touch, Form, Taste, Smell – Through the Body
Dependence on sensation, can’t be continuous
Attention, appreciation… (favourable feelings) from others
Dependence on the other, can’t be continuous
Sometimes “happiness” i.e. excitement…
Sometimes “unhappiness” i.e. depression…

15. To find out what else is required (over and above physical facility)
Check: Is the unhappiness in our families
 More due to lack of physical facility or
 More due to lack of fulfillment in relationship?

16. To find out what else is required (over and above physical facility)
How much time and effort are we investing:
 For physical facility
 For fulfillment in relationship
The unhappiness is more due to lack of fulfillment in relationship
Most of the time and effort is spent for physical facility

17. For Human Being, Relationship is also Necessary
For human being physical facility is necessary but relationship is also necessary
On examining carefully, we find that this is a fundamental difference between animals and
human being
Physical facility is necessary for animals and necessary for human being also
However,
For animals physical facility is necessary as well as largely adequate
For human being physical facility is necessary but not adequate

18. RELATIONSHIP
with human being
PHYSICAL FACILITY
With nature
For human beings:
necessary but not
adequate
For animals:
necessary & largely
adequate
In Addition to Physical Facility, Relationship is Necessary for Human Being
For human beings physical facility is necessary but relationship is also necessary

19. Although we have Recognised the need for Relationship…
We do get into arguments, opposition and fights… even in the family, with close friends, with
colleagues at work… in the marketplace…
Every time we have a fight, we want to resolve it…
We say sorry, patch up and promise not to fight in future but…
Even though we don’t want to, a fight does take place once again
(we want the other to improve… and the other wants us to improve…)
Is this happening?
Are incidences of reaction… not speaking to the other… arguments… debates… divorce…
increasing or decreasing?
Explore your close relationships – in the family, with friends, in the workplace, in the society
In spite of our acceptance for relationship, why is it happening?

20. Let’s check our Perspective about Relationship
Let us find out if
1. We want to live in relationship (harmony) with others or
2. We want to live in opposition with others or
3. We believe living has to be necessarily in opposition with others, i.e. There is 'struggle for
survival' , ‘survival of the fittest’ and check if we feel happy living this way?
‘struggle for survival’, ‘survival of the fittest’
What is our present perspective? Which view do we promote?
(at home, in the family… in schools and colleges… and in the society)
Is it the naturally acceptable view?

21. Right Understanding is also Essential for Human Being
For fulfilment in relationship, it is necessary to have right understanding about relationship
i.e. Right understanding is also necessary for human being
With right understanding:
 We have clarity about relationship with human being; we are able to fulfil relationship
 We also have clarity about how much physical facility we need

(be happy and

Animals live only for

Human being can not be
fulfilled on the basis of
physical facility alone
?

24. Animals living with
animal consciousness
they are in harmony this is fine
Human being living with
human consciousness
they are in harmony this is fine
Human being living with
animal consciousness
they are in disharmony this is the
problem

25. Since we generally don’t have clarity about our physical needs…
In the society, we can observe two categories of human beings
1. Lacking physical facility, unhappy deprived
2. Having physical facility, unhappy deprived
While we want to be –
3. Having physical facility, happy prosperous
Find out
 Where are we now – at 1, 2 or 3 and
 Where do we want to be?

26. Role of Education-Sanskar: To Enable Transformation
Holistic development is transformation to Human Consciousness
The role of education-sanskar is to enable this transformation by way of ensuring the
development of the competence to live with human consciousness and definite human
conduct
For this, it has to ensure
1. Right understanding in every child
2. The capacity to live in relationship with the other human being
3. The capacity to identify the need of physical facility,
the skills and practice for sustainable production of more than what is required – leading to
the feeling of prosperity

27. 1. Right understanding in every child
2. The capacity to live in relationship with
the other human being
3. The capacity to identify the need of
physical facility,
the skills and practice for sustainable
production of more than what is required
right utilisation of physical facility
leading to the feeling of prosperity
Missing
Missing
Identification of need of physical facility is
missing.
The willingness to produce by way of labour
is also missing
The right utilization is also largely missing
The core feeling generated is
to accumulate more & more,
to consume more & more,
(rather than to produce what is required
and utilize it rightly…)
Required for Transformation Present State?

28. Understanding Human being as the Co-existence of the Self and the Body
Harmony in the Human Being

32. Human Being Self Body

33. Are these needs are of different types or of same type?
Are both types of needs important / Do we want fulfillment of both types of needs?
Are we working to fulfill both types of needs?

34. The needs of the Body can not be fulfilled by Right Understanding, Right Feelings alone
The needs of the Self can not be fulfilled by Physio-Chemical Things
Both type of needs have to be understood separately
Both type of needs have to be fulfilled separately
In living, what is the priority?
How much time & effort is spent for right understanding & right feelings?
How much time & effort is spent for physical facility?
Human Being Self Co-exis tence Body

38. Sum Up
Human being is the co-existence of Self and Body
Self is consciousness. Its needs are feelings in consciousness (like happiness) and these needs are
fulfilled by activity of consciousness, i.e. Right Understanding and Right Feeling
Body is material. Its needs are material (like food) and these needs are fulfilled by material, i.e. Physio
chemical things
The needs of consciousness can not be fulfilled by material
The needs of material can not be fulfilled by consciousness alone

43. 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
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 our natural acceptance

44. 1
Assignment for Today…
C. The Self
1.Take the same list of your desires. Now find out what is the source of the desire:
preconditioning (PC) or sensation (S) or natural acceptance (NA):
Example:
S.No. Desire Purpose Preconditioning Sensation Natural
Acceptance
1 Money a. Physical Facilities to
take care of Body
√
b. Status √
c. Merry making √
2 Name, fame Attention from others √
3 Good food Health of Body √
Taste √
4 Car a. To save energy of
Body in transportation
√
b. Respect in society √
c. To look good √
5 Peace of mind For the Self √

45. Sum Up
Imagination is going on in the Self continuously
Behaviour/Work is an expression/outcome of Imagination
The Self has the faculty of Natural Acceptance – it is innate, invariant and uncorrupted,
but may or may not be presently the motivation for imagination
Imagination is motivated by Preconditioning, Sensation or Natural Acceptance
Imagination guided by Natural Acceptance leads to harmony in the Self. This is the state of self-
organization (स्वतंत्रता). This is the state of happiness. In this state, the behaviour/work is also
mutually fulfilling – the conduct is definite (harmonious)
Imagination motivated by preconditioning or sensation may lead to contradiction in the Self. This
is the state of enslavement. This is the state of unhappiness. In this state, the behaviour/work
may or may not be mutually fulfilling – the conduct is not definite
Every human being has the potential to awaken to his/her Natural Acceptance, and be in
Harmony (This is the full human potential at the level of the Self)

46. ‘Trust’
The Foundational Value in Relationship
Harmony in the Family

48. Harmony in the Family
1. Relationship is – between one self and another self
2. There are feelings in relationship – in one self for the other self
3. These feelings can be recognized – they are definite
4. Their fulfilment, evaluation leads to mutual happiness
Feelings in relationship:
1 Trust FOUNDATION VALUE
2 Respect
3 Affection
4 Care
5 Guidance
6 Reverence
7 Glory
8 Gratitude —
9 Love COMPLETE VALUE

49. Self Reflection
If you have unconditional, continuous trust on intention (natural acceptance) of the other and if
the other is lacking competence, what will you do:
a) Try to improve his competence
(and also improve your competence)
b) Get irritated
c) Get angry
d) Have a feeling of opposition
How many persons, in your family and friends, do you have trust on intention (natural
acceptance) – unconditional, continuous?
This is fundamental. Trust on intention is the foundation of relationship
You can get an idea of the state of your understanding about relationship from this exploration…
Trust on Intention  Response
Doubt on Intention  Reaction

51. About your Natural Acceptance
1a. I want to make myself happy
2a. I want to make the other happy
3a. The other wants to make herself/himself
happy
4a. The other wants to make me happy
About your Competence
4b. The other is able to make me always
happy
Trust: To have the clarity that the other intends to make me happy
Intention – Natural Acceptance
What is Naturally Acceptable to You
Competence
What You Are
√ 1b. I am able to make myself always happy ?
2b. I am able to make the other always happy?
3b. The other is able to make herself/himself ?
always happy
??

√
√

52. The other broke a glass
If the other makes a mistake even once…
– I doubt his/her intention
– S(he) makes mistakes intentionally
– I have a feeling of opposition, get irritated,
angry…
– I reinforce “The other is bad”, can not improve
The glass broke by accident
Even if I make the same mistake 100 times…
– I never doubt my intention
– I make mistakes by accident
– I have a feeling “I am special”
– I reinforce “I am good”. I do not make effort to
improve my own competence
About the Other About Myself
Doubt on intention is a major reason for problems in relationships
11

53. Being able to see that all human beings have
the same natural acceptance (intention) as me
Trust on intention is founded on understanding
(not based on events)
It does not keep changing with time or person.
So it can be unconditional and continuous
Of course, the competence may or may not be
there – in me or in the other
“Trust” on competence is based on events –
can keep changing
The last 5 times I lent her money, she returned
it on time… so I can trust her
He said he will reach at 11, but look it is after
12 now… he always comes late… so how can
I trust him to be on time?
Here we are not looking at the natural
acceptance (intention). We are only seeing the
competence
Understanding Trust Assuming Trust

54. Trust is to have the clarity that the other wants to make me happy & prosperous.
Trust is the foundation of relationship
If I am aware of my natural acceptance, I have trust on intention
I feel related to the other (I accept the relationship)
When I make a program with the other, it is based on right evaluation of our mutual competence
 In case the other is lacking in competence
 I make effort to assure the other
 I make effort to improve his competence once he is assured in relationship (and not before that)
 If I lack competence, I become ready to take help from the other to improve my competence
If I am unaware of my natural acceptance, I may have doubt on intention
 I evaluate the other on the basis of his competence and assume the lack of competence to be the
lack of intention; and thus feel opposed to him (while I evaluate myself on intention)
 This feeling of opposition shows up as irritation or anger (and it may further lead to fighting, struggle
and war)

55. Respect and Types of Evaluation
Over evaluation
Under evaluation
– to evaluate for more than what it is
– to evaluate for less than what it is
Otherwise evaluation – to evaluate for other than what it is
Not naturally acceptable. Whenever the evaluation is not right, it is disrespect
Check for yourself in every interaction with others whether it is respect or disrespect. i.e.
 It is right evaluation or
 It is over / under / otherwise evaluation
Disrespect

57. Other Feelings in Relationship
Justice
Love – The basis for Undivided Family

58. Affection
The feeling of being related to the other
(acceptance of the other as one’s relative, the other is like me)
One has the responsibility and commitment for mutual fulfilment in the relationship
Opposition, jealousy... are an indication of the absence of affection

61. Feeling of responsibility toward the body of my
relative
The responsibility & commitment for nurturing
and protection of the Body of my relative
Feeling of responsibility toward
the self of my relative
The responsibility & commitment
for ensuring Right
Understanding and Right
Feeling in the self of my relative
Care Guidance
Care & Guidance are a natural outcome ofAffection
Do we ensure both care as well as guidance or are we mostly focused on care?
E.g. while taking care of the body, like while feeding the child, are we
concerned about both the body as well as the self?

62. Reverence
The feeling of acceptance for excellence
Excellence : Completeness of Right Understanding
Working for Excellence and competing with each other is not the same thing.
In excellence, one helps to bring the other to his level
In competition, he hinders the other from reaching to his level

63. Not other – only me
I am different/more than the other
Feelings are based on preconditioning
(indefinite, keeps changing)
Conditional relationship
May nurture or exploit others
Stops the other to come to his level -
effort to accentuate the difference,
to dominate, manipulate, exploit
Relative (no definite completion point)
The other is like me
We are complementary
Feelings are based on right
understanding (definite,
unchanging)
Unconditional relationship
Nurtures others
Helps the other to come to his level
Absolute (definite completion point)
Effort for Excellence Effort for Competition

65. Feeling for those who have made effort for
excellence
Feeling for those who have made
effort for my excellence
Glory Gratitude

66. Gratitude
Feeling for those who have made effort for my excellence
I can see that the other has a feeling of care, affection, trust.. in behaviour with me. I can also
see that the other
a) has helped me in developing right understanding & right feeling in me
b) Has provided me with the necessary physical facility
Gratitude is significant in the development of relationship

67. Self Reflection
Check whether you have a feeling of gratitude for those who have
made effort for you in your life…
1. Are you able to appreciate both –”what has been done” as well
as ”what has not been done” (the complete picture)?
or
are you mostly focused on “what has not been done”?
2. Do you have a feeling of gratitude for the other – continuous
or
the feeing of gratitude comes and goes?
3. Are you making effort for “ensuring the right feelings in
yourself and expressing them to the other”
or
are you “expecting these feelings from the other”?

68. Respect, Reverence, Glory and Gratitude
Basic human aspiration = Continuous happiness
= To achieve excellence
Excellence
Understanding Harmony &
Living in Harmony
Continuous Happiness
Trust, Respect– For all
Reverence – For those who have achieved excellence
Glory – For those who have made effort for excellence
Gratitude – For those who have made effort for my excellence
at all 4 levels
1. In the Human Being
2. In Family
3. In Society
4. In Nature/Existence

69. Opposition, Affection and Love
Verify on the basis of your natural acceptance if you want to be related to:
None
One
Many  The feeling of being related to many
 The feeling of being related to all
Affection – The feeling of being related to the other
(acceptance of the other as one’s relative)
Love – The feeling of being related to all (Complete Value)
Affection
X  The feeling of being related to none – in opposition to all
√  The feeling of being related to one
14
Love
√
Everyone √

70. Preconditioning Related to Love – Common misunderstandings
Excitement (from sensation, preconditioning) is confused for feeling
Sensation –
Lust, getting from the other
Continuity not possible
Preconditioning –
Infatuation
1. Love at First Sight?
2. By this age, I must have GF/BF?
3. The other has 4 GF/BF; I have only one?
Continuity not possible
Right understanding (natural acceptance) –
Love (प्रेम) = feeling of being related to all, responsible towards all, giving to all
Continuity
Once trust, respect, affection, care, guidance… are ensured within, then
the feeling of being related to all follows naturally
Infatuation, Lust
Sensation
Imagination
(in the Self) Love
Preconditioning
Natural
Acceptance

71. Preconditioning Related to Love
This is certainly not Love!
The feeling of love needs to be
understood rightly by all,
particularly by youth

Love– The feeling of being related to all (Complete Value)
It all starts with identifying that one is related to other human being (Affection) and it slowly
expands to the feeling of being related to all human beings and then to all, each & every unit in
nature (human being as well as other units) (Love)
Feeling of Love is expressed in the form of kindness, beneficence and compassion. The feeling
is for all, and it is expressed to those who come in contact
The feeling of Love is the foundation of Undivided Society

73. Harmony in the Society
From Family Order to World Family Order
(Universal Human Order)

78. Society
We saw that the family is the basic unit or building block of human organisation
The society is the next larger order
Society is composed of many families living together making collective effort for a common goal We will
explore:
1. Goal of human being living in society (human goal)
2. The dimensions or systems required to achieve the human goal
3. Scope of the systems

79. What is Desirable and Where are we today?
Families living together, in a relationship of mutual fulfillment
(common goal)
Society
People living together, but not in relationship of mutual fulfillment
(differing goals)
Crowd
People living separately, in opposition / struggle
(conflicting goals)
Battlefield
We will explore harmony in society – The base of harmony in society is harmony in family for which the
base is harmony in human being

80. Harmony in the Society
Human Goal
If all 4 are achieved, would anything else be required?
Are we working for all 4? In the family? In the society? Where
do we start from?

Are all 4 required, desirable or we can leave something out?

includes Learning Right Skills & Technology
Development of the competence to live with Definite Human Conduct Discipline to

1. Right understanding, i.e. wisdom or clarity about what to do as a human being – in oneself, family, society,
nature…
2. Right feeling – the capacity to live in relationship with the other human beings – in family, society…
3. Right skills for prosperity, i.e.
 The capacity to identify the need of physical facility
 The skills & practice for sustainable production of more than what is required (by way of labour, using cyclic, mutually
enriching process)
 The feeling of prosperity

85. Sum Up
A society is composed of families living together, in a relationship of mutual fulfillment. They have a common
goal, which is:
1. Right understanding & right feeling (happiness) in every individual
2. Prosperity in every family
3. Fearlessness (Trust) in society
4. Co-existence in nature/existence
human goal is fulfilled for all
– from family order to world family order
– generation after generation
The family is the basic unit in society, i.e. society is composed of family, group of families, village family, group of
village families, town family… and so on, where every individual is responsible or self- disciplined and self
motivated by common values, participating in the larger order toward a common human goal
Through the participation of every family in the society, in the 5 dimensions or social systems, the common
1. Education – Sanskar
[the current civilization is largely based on the assumption that human being = body, happiness is derived primarily from
sensual pleasure & feeling from other; and hence accumulation of physical facility, domination and exploitation is at
the core of the socio-economic systems]
2. Health – Self-regulation
3. Production – Work
4. Justice – Preservation
5. Exchange – Storage

86. Harmony in Nature
Interconnectedness, Self-regulation and Mutual Fulfillment among
the Four Orders of Nature

88. Introduction
So far we have explored our Natural Acceptance
Our Natural Acceptance is for living in Harmony – as an Individual, as a Family, as a Society…
Is there provision in Nature/Existence for living in accordance with our Natural Acceptance? Is it possible
to live in harmony as an Individual, as a Family, as a Society…?
Is co-existence, mutual fulfillment inherent in Nature? Or
Is the design of nature/existence by way of opposition, struggle, survival of the fittest…?
We will explore the underlying design of Nature/Existence with these questions…

89. Nature = Collection of Units
Air
Water Trees
Soil
Animal body
Birds Animals Human body
Self(I)
Human Beings
Earth Sun
Moon Metals

90. Nature = Collection of Units = 4 Orders
All units can be categorised into 4 orders
Animal Order
Animals, Birds
Physical
Order
Soil, Metal
Bio Order
Plants, Trees
Human Order
Human Being

91. Relationship of Mutual Fulfillment
Physical Order, Bio Order and Animal Order are enriching for Human Order, but Human Order (without right
understanding) is not fulfilling for any of the 4 orders
Human beings have
natural acceptance
to be mutually fulfilling
Once human beings understand, they
can be fulfilling for all four orders
Animal Order
Animals, Birds
Physical
Order
Soil, Metal
Bio Order
Plants, Trees
Human Order
Human Being
? ?

92. Present-day Problems are largely due to Lack of Understanding
Resource Depletion – The resource is used at a rate which is faster than the rate at which it is produced in
nature
Pollution – The product is such that
1. It does not return to the cycle in nature or
2. It is produced at a rate that is faster than the rate at which it can return to the cycle in nature

93. Harmony in Nature
 Quantity of units in each order
Physical >> Plant >> Animal >> Human
Quantity as per overall enrichment of the whole; and availability of sustaining resources
 Dependence of each order is on all
previous orders
Survival of Human Order is
dependent on all the three orders.
Human
Order
Animal Order
Bio Order
Physical Order

94. Harmony in Nature

There is a relationship of mutual fulfilment (harmony) amongst these 4 orders. The first 3 orders are mutually
fulfilling for each other. They are fulfilling for human being also. It is naturally acceptable to human beings to be
fulfilling for all the orders
The role of human being is to realize this mutual fulfilment – For this, all that human beings need to do is:
1. To understand that mutual fulfilment (harmony) is inherent in nature – we do not have to create it
2. To live accordingly – then the mutual fulfilment amongst the 4 orders will be realised
and there is provision in nature for living with mutual fulfilment (harmony)

Sum Up
Existence is in the form of co-existence. It is ever present
(Existence = Co- Existence = Units submerged in Space)
Every unit in existence is related with every other unit in existence in a mutually fulfilling manner
Synergy is intrinsic to existence, harmony is inherent in existence – we do not have to create it, we do not
have to construct it
The role of Human Being is to realize this co-existence, this harmony, this order in existence. For this, all
that human beings need to do is:
1. To understand the inherent harmony, the co-existence in existence
2. To live accordingly – to live with the feeling of harmony or co-existence (and there is
every provision in existence for living in co-existence)
