1. RU, Rel, PF or anything more? Find out if your needs can be fulfilled by Right Understanding, Relationship and Physical Facilities Eg: What I am… Right Understanding Respect… RU + Feeling in Relationship Nutritious Food… RU + Physical Facility Is anything more needed (more than RU, R, PF)? Is anything redundant (out of RU, R, PF)?

Ex: Sitting in a hot room… you are uncomfortable & unhappy Q: Does an AC help you resolve your discomfort & unhappiness? An AC does resolve the discomfort Physical Facility is a solution for needs of the body ? RIGHT UNDERSTANDING (le>) in the self ? RELATIONSHIP (laca/k) with human being 1 AIR CONDITIONER

Ex: Sitting in an AC room… with someone you are opposed to… Q: Is the feeling of opposition naturally acceptable? Or do you want to get rid of the feeling of opposition, to resolve the relationship? We can see that an AC has no impact in resolving relationship Physical facility does not have any lasting impact in relationship. E.g. A gift can atmost distract attention for some time – it is not a solution Only right understanding about relationship, and continuity of right feelings in oneself helps resolve relationship ? RIGHT UNDERSTANDING (le>) in the self ? OPPOSITION IN RELATIONSHIP 1 AIR CONDITIONER

Ex: Sitting alone in an AC room… thinking about one you oppose... Q: Does the AC help you resolve the contradiction in your thoughts? We can see that an AC has no impact in resolving contradiction in thoughts (physical facility does not have any impact on understanding in the self) Only right understanding helps resolve contradiction in thoughts ? CONTRADICTION IN THOUGHTS ? RELATIONSHIP (laca/k) with human beings 1 AIR CONDITIONER

1. RU, Rel, PF or anything more? Right Understanding, Feelings in Relationship, Physical Facility with that priority Accumulation of Physical Facility, Maximisation of Sensation Find out which out of the above is your current program for Happiness & Prosperity Which program is Naturally Acceptable to you? What do you need to do to move from your current program to the program which is Naturally Acceptable to you?

Program: Right Understanding, Relationship & Physical Facility 1 RIGHT UNDERSTANDING (le>) in the self 2 3 For animals: necessary & complete RELATIONSHIP (laca/k) with human beings PHYSICAL FACILITY (lqfo/kk) with rest of nature For human beings: necessary but not complete MUTUAL HAPPINESS (mHk; lq[k) MUTUAL PROSPERITY (mHk; le`f))

Program: Accumulation of Physical Facility ? RIGHT UNDERSTANDING (le>) in the self For animals: necessary & complete ? RELATIONSHIP (laca/k) with human beings 1 PHYSICAL FACILITY (lqfo/kk) with rest of nature For human beings: necessary but not complete UNHAPPINESS nq[k DEPRIVATION nfjnzrk

2. Categorize: Need of I and Need of Body Make a list of Your desires Categorize each desire as Need of I or Need of Body Some needs will be for both I and for Body – you can reflect on what is the primary need E.g. Food for nurturing – need of Body for taste – need if I House for protection – need of Body House to show others, to get respect – need of I Q: What is the % of desires that are needs of I, % of needs of Body? Q: % Effort for PF? % Effort for RU & RF? Q: Re-evaluate the program to fulfill needs of I. PF can only fulfill needs of the Body

2. Categorize: Need of I and Need of Body About 10% desires are needs of the Body About 90% desires are needs of Self(I) About 10% effort is for Right Understanding & Relationship About 90% effort is for Physical Facility Most of the desires are of needs of Self(I) Most of the effort is for Physical facility Physical Facility can fulfill only needs of the Body… … There is a mismatch between desire and effort … What is the effort required to balance this?

2. Categorize: Need of I and Need of Body – Effort Sanskar (t+1) = Fn [Sanskar (t), Environment (t), Self Exploration (t)] Proposal Self Study, Self Verification Listening (with comitment, concentration, listening to get the sense in which the speaker is indicating, not comparing with pre-conditioning) Self-Exploration (to see the reality indicated by the words, to refer to your natural acceptance) Right Understanding & Right Feeling in the Self (I) Your Desire, Thought, Expectation is guided by your own Natural Acceptance

3. Categorise: Preconditioning, Sensation and Natural Acceptance Reflect on its underlying assumption Eg. Nice house Nice = comparatively better than other houses – preconditioning Nice = luxurious – sensation Nice = provides protection for body – natural acceptance

3. Categorise: Preconditioning, Sensation and Natural Acceptance Preconditioning: Assuming without knowing. Depends on something or someone outside, keeps changing. Not sure it leads to harmony or contradiction. Sensation: taste of sound, touch, sight, taste, smell, 4 topics: food, sleep, fear/security, sex (samvedna – shabd, sparsh, roop, ras, gandh, 4 vishay: ahar, nidra, bhay, maithun) tasty-necessary  tasty-unnecessary  tasteless-unnecessary  intolerable Natural Acceptance: About meaning (sarthakta), Purpose or what to do as a human being. Leads to harmony (happiness) within, continuity is desirable, possible Assurance (Ashwasti) – I am clear this is what I want to do Satisfaction (Tripti) – I am sure that this will lead to harmony Universal (Sarvbhaum) – It is same for all Q: % Preconditioning, % Sensation and % Natural Acceptance

Relationship Reality Continuous Happiness Nurturing, Protection & Right Utilisation 9 Feelings – Mutual Happiness – Justice 4 Human Goals Mutual Fulfillment / Co-existence I can directly see my relationship with this reality (natural characteristic). I have Natural Acceptance to fulfill this relationship. That is my participation. It is definite (WHAT TO DO) CONTEMPLATION Self (I) Human Being Body Family (Other Human Being) Society = group of families Nature / Existence I can directly see (KNOW) the reality, harmony (self-organisation & submergence). The essence is definite UNDERSTANDING, REALISATION

Gross Misunderstanding Relationship Maxisation of sensual enjoyment Maximisation of physical facility Maximisation of profit, domination Maximisation of profit, mastery Differing opinions about reality, relationship, goal ASSUMPTIONS Perception of Reality Human Being = Body Other is a resource (for physical facility / sensation) Society = group of individuals Nature / Existence Existence is chaos. Survival of the fittest in Nature… ASSUMPTIONS

Natural Acceptance About meaning (sarthakta), Purpose or what to do as a human being. Leads to harmony (happiness) within, continuity is desirable, possible For Relationship [Mutual fulfillment, complimentarity] For Harmony [Nature is by way of harmony, mutual enrichment] For Co-existence [Essence of Existence is Co-existence] Assurance (Ashwasti) – I am clear this is what I want to do Satisfaction (Tripti) – I am sure that this will lead to harmony Universal (Sarvbhaum) – It is same for all Not about How to Do

Source of Happiness Preconditioning: Manyata se milne wala sukh – haamari manyata puri ho jaye, doosra usko support kar de, doosre se milne vala bhav Sensation: taste of sound, touch, sight, taste, smell, 4 topics: food, sleep, fear/security, sex (samvedna – shabd, sparsh, roop, ras, gandh, 4 vishay: ahar, nidra, bhay, maithun) tasty-necessary  tasty-unnecessary  tasteless-unnecessary  intolerable (ruchikar-avashyak  ruchikar-anavashyak  aruchikar-unavashyak  asahaniya) Natural Acceptance: Apne mein bhav se milne wala sukh

Sukh ke srot Samvedna se milne wala sukh Manyata se milne wala sukh – haamari manyata puri ho jaye, doosra usko support kar de, doosre se milne vala bhav Apne mein bhav se milne wala sukh

Sammohanatmak aavesh - Inko sukh maan lete hain Aavesh (excitement) Sammohanatmak aavesh - Inko sukh maan lete hain Kaam = samvedna ko sukh maan lete hain, priya drishti ki ati, vaasna, lust, par-nari/par-purush Lobh = suvidha ko sukh maan lete hain, greed of physical facility Moh = doosre se bhav paa kar sukh milega, aisa maan lete hain. shareer sapekh sambandh ka adhimulyan Virodhatmak aavesh - Inko dukh maan lete hain Krodh = apni askhamta ka pradarshan, shreshtha ke abhav main Mad = ni-shreshtha ka bhav, jisko ham sweekar nahi paa rahe, doosre ke saamne adhik bata rahen hain, apne baare kuch maane hue hain, evaluate karne ko tayyar nahin hain Matsarya = doosre ke ahit ki kaamna (Algaav = Sambandh ki sweekriti ka abhav)

Preconditioning = Assuming without self-verification Knowing, Assuming, Recognizing, Fulfilling Problem (Samasya) Education-Sanskar Solution (Samadhan) Preconditioning or Assuming without self-verification   Assumptions keep changing Conduct is indefinite (Dependence, Partantrata) Knowing through self-verification – on the basis of Natural Acceptance & – on the basis of living accordingly   Assumptions on the basis of Knowing are definite Conduct is definite (Swatantrata)

Sensation Physical thing  Contact with senses of body  Sensation (info from body)  Tasted by self (I) If taste is favorable  Happiness (Temporary) If taste is unfavourable  Unhappiness (Temporary) Sensation of Sound, Touch, Form, Taste, Smell 4 Topics: Food, Sleep, Fear/Security, Sex (shabd, sparsh, roop, ras, gandh ki samvedna 4 vishay: ahar, nidra, bhay, maithun) Sensation can be a source of excitement. Since it only provides temporary happiness, one gets bored, keeps changing from one sensation to another Sensation can not be a source of continuous happiness (harmony) a) Tasty-Necessary  Tasty-Unnecessary  Tasteless-Unnecessary  Intolerable (ruchikar-avashyak  ruchikar-anavashyak  aruchikar-unavashyak  asahaniya) b) Partantrata, uncertainity

Role of sensation or right utilisation of sensation To keep body in good health To communicate in order to understand (& help other understand) Sensation in animal naturally restrained (by nature) Sensation in human being can do right utilisation of sensation only if one has the right understanding Body is an instrument of the Self (I) Role of body or right utilisation of body Labour in order to obtain necessary PF for the body For ensuring continuity of Human Tradition (new body)

Feeling from Other Human Being Other Human Being  Expression of Feeling  Feeling Received Evaluated by self (I) If evaluation is favorable  Happiness (Temporary) If evaluation is unfavourable  Unhappiness (Temporary) Feeling from other can not be a source of continuous happiness (harmony) a) Partantrata, uncertainity

To be accepted by everyone) Harmony/Contradiction? Similarly between 2 thoughts, 2 selections Between desire and thought, between thought and selection The disharmony in these is unhappiness Harmony in these is happiness Harmony in the self = harmony within between basic desire and sub-desires (desires are based on contemplation "What is my role/participation in existence") Between desire and thought Between thoughts Between thought & selection Between selections

Desire – I am responsible. I will develop competence & fulfill Dream – Other will fulfill State of awareness – I am aware of my D, T, E State of unawareness – I am not aware of my D, T, E Desire/Thought/Expectation with commitment to achieve it – e.g. "going home from work" or "having a drink" Desire/Thought/Expectation without firm commitment to achieve it – e.g. "going for a workshop" or "ensuring trust in relationship"
