Right Understanding, Relationship and Physical Facility

The document discusses how human beings can live with continuous happiness and prosperity by ensuring right understanding, fulfilling relationships, and adequate physical resources, in that order of priority. It contrasts living with 'human consciousness' by satisfying all three needs versus living with 'animal consciousness' by focusing only on physical needs. Living sustainably requires right understanding to properly identify resource needs, fulfilling relationships to find mutual happiness, and a mutually enriching production process to ensure adequate resources for prosperity.

Right Understanding, Relationship and Physical Facility:

Human being wants to live with continuous happiness and prosperity and this is
possible by ensuring right understanding, fulfilment in relationship and physical
facility in the
correct priority. This is living with ‘human consciousness’.
On the other hand, if one is living for physical facility alone, and not ensuring right
understanding
and right feeling in relationship, s(he) feels unhappy and makes others unhappy too.
This is one
outcome.
The other outcome is that if the right understanding is missing, one is not able to
identify the
need for physical facility. Now, if we are not able to identify our need for physical
facility then
regardless of how much physical facility we accumulate, we never feel that we have
enough. We
keep wanting more. This feeling of not having enough is the feeling of deprivation. As
a result,
one is deprived, exploiting and depriving others.
While physical facility alone may suffice for animals, it is not adequate for human
being to be
fulfilled. Under this condition, one is living with ‘animal consciousness’.
There are generally two kinds of people today:
1. Those lacking physical facility, unhappy and deprived
2. Those having physical facility, and yet unhappy and deprived
Try to find out where you are – at 1 or at 2?
Whereas we really want to be is in the following state, i.e.
3. Having physical facility, happy and prosperous.
It is easy to see that we naturally want to be in the state 3, of having more than
required physical
facility, happy and prosperous. However, today we seem to be at 1 or 2 and our effort
is
generally for 2. You can see that what is called development today largely takes us
from ‘1’ to ‘2’.
Now, if we are able to ensure all three, i.e. right understanding, relationship and
physical facility,
in that order of priority, let us see the outcome (refer to figure Given below).
 Through right feeling in relationship, based on right understanding, we can ensure
mutual
happiness – happiness for ourselves as well as happiness for others.
 With right understanding, we can identify the need for physical facility. We can also
learn
how to produce using a mutually enriching production process. Once we are able to
ensure the availability of more than required physical facility, we have a feeling of
prosperity; isn’t it?
