Unit 4

The document discusses harmony in nature. It describes nature as consisting of four orders - the physical order, pranic order, animal order and human order. It explains that the first three orders have a relationship of mutual fulfillment, where each unit fulfills and is fulfilled by the others in an interconnected way. However, the human order has not yet ensured mutual fulfillment due to a lack of right understanding. This has led to problems like pollution, resource depletion, and threats to the human race on Earth.

Self-exploration, Self-investigation, Self-study
1. Content of Self Exploration:
a. Desire (pkguk) - Aim, Purpose
– Happiness, Prosperity  Continuity

b. Program (djuk) – Process of achieving the desire, action


Happiness = To be in Harmony

To understand Harmony & to live in harmony at all 4 levels:


1. Harmony in the Human Being
2. Harmony in the Family
3. Harmony in the Society
4. Harmony in Nature/Existence
2. Process of Self Exploration
Self-verification

Next we want to explore Nature/Existence
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…

Relationship of Mutual Fulfillment
Four orders in nature, mutual fulfillment in nature
▪ In nature all the three orders other than human order are mutually
fulfilling for themselves as well as for human beings
▪ Mutual fulfillment is naturally acceptable to the human order
▪ Due to lack of right understanding, the Human order is not yet able
to ensure mutual fulfillment. This can be seen in the form of
problems such as pollution, resource depletion, extinction of
animals, global warming and threats to human race on earth

Role of Human Being
Human beings have natural acceptance to be mutually fulfilling for all
To be mutually fulfilling, human beings have to understand mutual
fulfilment (harmony) in nature

When human beings understand the inherent harmony, then they will be
able to facilitate the innateness (or at least not violate it) by way of
ensuring the inheritance:

Physical order – facilitate its existence by maintaining / ensuring


its constitution (eg. constitution of earth)
Plant order – facilitate its growth by maintaining / ensuring its
seed (e.g. seed of rice)
Animal order – facilitate its will to live by maintaining / ensuring
its breed (eg. breed of cow)
Human order – facilitate its will to live with continuous
happiness by ensuring human

Harmony in Nature iz—fr esa O;oLFkk
Nature is organised in such a manner that the physical facility required
for any order is available in abundance

Dependence of any order is on all

& physical order

Harmony in Nature iz—fr esa O;oLFkk
All orders have definite conduct except human order

In human being, the body has definite conduct


The Self (I) operating on assuming without knowing is the source of
indefiniteness, problem

The solution is to ensure knowing


The natural acceptance is to know,
to be in harmony

For this,

NOTES
∙ Order of appearance of orders: Physical -> Plant -> Animal -> Human
(Human body is most sophisticated, needs most comfortable
environment to be – bane rahne ke liye sabse anukool vatavaran ki
avashyakta hai)
∙ Quantity of units in each order: Physical >> plant >> animal >> human
∙ Destruction due to ignorance of human order: kosh samapt ho gaya
hai… if environment degrades futher, the sequence in which orders
will disappear is the reverse order of appearance of orders

∙ Definite Conduct in 3 Orders


∙ Definite Conduct is Naturally Acceptable to Human Beings as well
∙ Definite Conduct in Human Being can be assured only by right

▪ Education – Develop Right Understanding
▪ Sanskaar – Abhyas of Right Conduct with Right Feeling

Sum Up
1. Physical order – soil, metals etc.
Nature = Collection of Units
2. Pranic order – trees, plants etc. = 4 Orders
3. Animal order – animals, birds etc.
Relationship of mutual
4. Human order – human beings
fulfilment (harmony)

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)

Home Work
1. What are your assumptions about nature?

2. How do you and your family contribute to / participate in maintaining


the order in nature?
