BASIC HUMAN ASPIRATION
 What do we all want, Desires/Goal of life?
 Every Human being aspires to be happy and prosperous

Desire
 Do we want to be happy?
 Do we want to be prosperous?
 Do we want the continuity of happiness and prosperity?
 If happiness and prosperity is ensured what else Would you desire ?
 All other desires are actually Sub desires of happiness and prosperity

DESIRE
 Do we want the continuity of
happiness and prosperity?
 Are we happy?
 Are we prosperous?
 Is there continuity of our
STAE OF BEING

DESIRE
 Do we want the continuity of
Is our effort
 For continuity of happiness and
prosperity?
 Just for accumulation of physical facility?
 Have you assumed that happiness and
prosperity will be ensured when you have
enough physical facility?
 What effort are you making for continuity
of happiness and prosperity, other than
accumulation of physical facility?
EFFORT

Check within Yourself!
The unhappiness in your family is more
 Due to lack of physical facility or
 Due to lack of fulfillment in relationship?
How much time and effort are you 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

Check within Yourself!
 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 adequate
 For human being physical facility is necessary but not adequate

 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?

 For animals, physical facility is necessary as well as adequate
 For human being, physical facility is necessary but relationship is also
necessary
RELATIONSHIP
with human
beings
PHYSICAL FACILITY
with rest of nature
For Animals
Necessary and
adequate
For Humans
Necessary and
not adequate

 On further examination, we find that we all do want to live in relationship
with others
 Every night when there is a fight, we want to resolve it. We start the next
day with the thought that we don’t want to fight today, but due to lack of
right understanding about fulfillment of relationship, a fight takes place by
night
 For fulfillment in relationship, it is necessary to have right
understanding about relationship. i.e. Right understanding is also
necessary for human being

Other than physical facility what else does a human being think about?
On close examination, the list of thoughts can be classified into two
categories:
1.Feeling in relationship with other human being
2.Right understanding in the self, or knowledge
Human being think about ensuring these, in addition to physical facility

Right Understanding is also Necessary for Human Being
RELATIONSHIP
with human beings
PHYSICAL FACILITY
with rest of nature
RIGHT UNDERSTANDING
in the self
 Are all 3 required? Is something redundant? Is anything more required?
 Are we working on all 3?
 If all 3 are required, what would be the priority*?
*Working on the high priority makes it easier to deal with the lower priority

Priority:
RELATIONSHIP
with human beings
PHYSICAL FACILITY
with rest of nature
RIGHT UNDERSTANDING
in the self
MUTUAL HAPPINESS MUTUAL PROSPERITY

Our Present Priority:
RELATIONSHIP

PHYSICAL FACILITY
with rest of nature
RIGHT UNDERSTANDING
in the self
UN HAPPINESS
Making others Unhappy
DEPRIVATION
Exploiting and
Depriving others

Consciousness

Therefore we can observe two categories of human being
1. Lacking physical facility, unhappy deprived
2. Having physical facility, unhappy deprived
While we want to
3. Having physical facility, happy prosperous
Check within yourself
 Where are you now – at 1, 2 or 3 and
 Where do you want to be?
If our living is only for physical facility, then we are living with animal
consciousness, because animals live only for physical facility and are
fulfilled by that, not human being

 If we are living for all three (right understanding, relationship and physical
facility) then we are living with human consciousness
 Human being can be fulfilled by being happy and prosperous on the basis
of these three

Role of Education-Sanskar: 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 Definite Human Conduct
 For this, the education-sanskar has to ensure
1.Right understanding in the self of every child
2.The capacity to live in relationship with the other human being
3.The capacity to identify the need of physical facility and the skills & practice
for sustainable production of more than what is required leading to the feeling of
prosperity
 These are the 3 components of human eduction-sanskar, if it has to ensure
development of definite human conduct
Role of Education-Sanskar

“ We want that education by which character
is formed, strength of mind is increased, the
intellect is expanded, and by which one can
stand on one's own feet ”
- Swami Vivekananda
