Course Objectives
1. To help the students having the clarity about human aspirations,
goal, activities and purpose of life.

2. To facilitate the competence to understand the harmony in


nature/existence and participation of human being in the
nature/existence.

3. To help the students to develop the understanding of human


tradition and its various components.

Course Methodology
 The methodology of this course is explorational and thus universally
adaptable. It involves a systematic and rational study of the human being vis-
à-vis the rest of existence.

 It is free from any dogma or set of do’s and don’ts related to values.

 It is a process of self-investigation and self-exploration, and not of giving


sermons. Whatever is found as truth or reality is stated as a proposal and the
students are facilitated and encouraged to verify it in their own right, based on
their Natural Acceptance and subsequent Experiential Validation.

 This process of self-exploration takes the form of a dialogue between the


teacher and the students to begin with, and then to continue within the
student leading to continuous self-evolution.

 This self-exploration also enables them to critically evaluate their pre-


conditionings and present beliefs.

Background
1. We exist as human being. We want to live a fulfilling life. We have
some desires and we have some programs for the fulfillment of it.

2. It is important for us to understand our basic aspiration and program


for its fulfillment correctly and comprehensibly. Only then, we can
ensure the fulfillment.

3. This is what we have been trying to do in UHV1. We want to study it


in further depth in this course (UHV2)

The goal of this course (UHV2) can be viewed as follows


12

5/21/2024

Goal of this Course (UHV2)


1. To explore the human reality (its being, basic aspiration, its
fulfilment), particularly the Self, in more depth
 Self is central to human existence

2. To explore deeper into the nature and existence as co-existence


 co-existence is central to existence
 everything that we see in nature and existence is the natural
expression and unfolding of this co-existence

3. To understand the role of human being in further detail, in the light of


the above
 To understand the co-existence
 To have the feeling and the thought of co-existence
 To live in co-existence in mutual relation with human being and the
rest of nature
13

Our Purpose & Program depends on Assumption/ Understanding


about:
In UHV1, we have seen that knowingly or unknowingly, we have
assumed some purpose in life and we have some program for the
fulfillment of the set purpose.

This setting up of the purpose and program depends upon our


assumptions about:
1. Human Being
2. Existence

We had some assumptions about these two before UHV1


And now these assumptions have been modified through the process of
self-exploration that we went through in the UHV1 course.

Let us look at some details of this shift in our assumptions.

Shift 1
UHV1 is focused on:
1. To initiate the process of self-exploration in you
2. The realization that human being is co-existence of Self and
Body
Which in turn leads to the following shift in perception
Assumption: ‘Human Being is Knowing: ‘Human Being is
UHV1
Body’ coexistence of Self and Body’
Purpose: Expectation to live with Purpose: Desire to live with
continuous happiness (effort to be continuous happiness (effort to be

With UHV1 following must have happened – Your Qualification for UHV2

1. You have concluded that this content about the existential reality is
relevant for you. It is your own need to understand it in depth

2. On the basis of the effort you have put in to understand this content
and to live accordingly, you have concluded that
 You have to work on your Self first
 You are responsible for your happiness and unhappiness;
The other or the situations are only a triggering point

3. You are able to see that you are the co-existence of Self and Body.
While most of the effort you may have been making are for fulfilling
the needs of the Body; you expect/desire to further understand the
co-existence of the Self with the Body and live accordingly

4. You are able to see that the whole existence is not just material;
there is space and submerged in space are material as well as
consciousness units
23

Your Qualification for UHV2 – Rephrased for Self-evaluation


1. Your attention is beginning to be drawn toward your Self
 Shift from thoughts like "I am special; I have to dominate over others"
 You have started thinking about “what is my real goal, as a human being”
 You have started becoming aware of your desires, thoughts & expectations
 There is less contradiction within.
2. You are realising that the goal is more than
'accumulation of physical facility'
 You are thinking about prosperity (versus accumulation of physical facility)
 You are able to see that everyone can be prosperous
3. You are realising the significance of relationship
 You can see that feeling is central in relationship
 You are realising that having the feelings in yourself and expressing these
feelings to the other is the source of your happiness
 Expecting the feelings from the other is enslavement and can not be a source
of continuous happiness. visible improvement in reaction, irritation, anger
4. You can see that you have to first develop your own competence
 Effort to first correct the other or the situation outside has reduced/stopped
5. You have decided to understand things in depth yourself
 You have questions for which you are committed to find answers

Expected Shift through UHV2

1. If we have undergone the shift1 through UHV1, mentioned in the last


lecture, we are ready to work for further shift (shift2) through the
process of self-exploration in UHV2. It has become our need to
understand the existential reality in depth and to live accordingly.

2. Otherwise, we need to keep working hard for ensuring shift1 along


with working for shift2. It is needless to say that the task now is
going to be far more difficult and challenging. However, if we have
realised the acute need for it, we will be able to do it.

3. We will now try to get an idea about the shift that is expected to take
place, if we go through the process of self exploration in this course.

25

UHV2 is designed for the further shift


The focus of UHV2 is to help for the second shift to take place, i.e. to
see that:
‘The Self (I) is central to human existence
Body is used as an Instrument'
Need of Human being is continuous happiness [Need of the Self(I)]
Which is fulfilled by

1. Understanding co-existence [Activity of Self(I)]


2. Feeling & thought of co-existence
This is expressed naturally in the form of

1. Mutually fulfilling behavior with human being


2. Mutually enriching work with rest of nature
3. Participation in larger order
leading to undivided society and universal human order
26

Total Shift through UHV1 and UHV2

Realising:

 Desire of Human being is for
continuous happiness (to be in harmony) – Need of Self(I)
 Which is fulfilled by – Activity of Self(I)
1. Understanding of co-existence
2. Feeling and thought of co-existence

Two important points to be noted are:


1. The need for the feeling of prosperity is a part of being in a state of
continuous happiness (to be in harmony at all levels)
2. Expression in mutual relation with human being and rest of nature, in
terms of behaviour and work, is a natural outcome of understanding of
co-existence and feeling & thought of co-existence
29

Yet another shift- Shift 3


There is yet another shift- call it shift 3. this is-

Co-existence is central to existence


Understanding of co-existence, harmony, relationship
Feeling, thought of ,, ,, ,, in the self
is central for continuous happiness in the self

Living in ,, ,, ,, as human being


is central for human conduct in the human being

Our Exploration and Understanding from HVPE (UHV1)


The foundation course in HVPE (UHV1 in case of AKTU) is a
prerequisite for this course.

Therefore, before we proceed, let us recall some of the basic concepts


(relating to certain basic realities) that we have explored in the HVPE
(UHV1) course and which are going to be used and further developed in
this course.

Basic Human Aspiration and its Fulfillment


1. The basic human aspiration is for continuity of happiness and
prosperity

2. This is fulfilled by living in human consciousness, by ensuring


right understanding, right feeling and physical facility

3. Transformation from animal consciousness to human


consciousness is ensured through human education-sanskar

4. Living with human consciousness provides the base for ensuring


justice and order leading to undivided society and universal human
order.

Introduction
In this session, we wll try to recaptulate our understanding about
1. Human Being &
2. Existence
particularly, of those aspects which are of immediate concern in this
course, i.e. aspects which we are going to investigate in further depth.

The Concluding Observation of this session is:


The most important part in ensuring harmony in human being and
human conduct is
Ensuring Right understanding & Right feeling in the self i.e.
Self is Central to Human Existence
Which we are going to discuss in the next lecture

Self Body
Consciousness INFORMATION Material
Instruction
Sensation

Transaction between the Self and the Body-


The Self is giving some Instruction to the Body e.g. get up, walk etc.
The Self is reading some Sensation from the Body e.g. sensation of pain,
etching etc.

Instruction is an information given by the Self and


Sensation is an information received by the Self

Hence,
The transaction between the Self and the Body is only of information
(no material transaction is taking place)

Decision for transaction-


 The decision to send instruction to the Body is made by the Self
 The decision to read sensation from the Body is made by the Self

The decision for every transaction is made by the Self

63

I am the Seer
“Seer” means the one that sees / understands

e.g. If you are given something in your hand and you conclude that it is
a pen, it is not your eyes that concluded this. It is you that concluded
this. The Self sees via the eyes – the eyes don’t see themselves

Like that all the 5 senses are just the instruments that enable the
Self to see something outside

Just like you see outside, you can also see ‘within’, without using the
sensation in the body as a means to see
e.g. You can ‘see’ that you are feeling happy, getting angry...

Thus, it is the Self who ‘sees’ or understands, sometimes with the


help of the body, sometimes without the help of body

In the process of seeing, the Body is used as an instrument


64

I am the Doer
“Doer” means the one that does, who takes decision to do

Self is the one who decides. Self decides what to do, what not to do...

the body is used to express the decision of the self, If required


e.g. Self instructs the body to walk and body walks

However,
Self may or may not use the body to execute its decision
e.g. what I think is my decision. I do that thinking within myself (there is
no role of the body in this)

The Body is used as an instrument, as and when required

65

I am the Enjoyer (Experiencer)


“Enjoyer” means the one that experiences happiness /
unhappiness

I am the one that feels enthused or depressed. I am the one that


feels angry or delighted...

I am the enjoyer, the experiencer

Self (I) is the Seer, Doer & Enjoyer


1. Seer- B1 (higher activities of the self in this Block) is main Seer- it
is able to see the reality (an unit say a tree for example) in
relationship, harmony & co-existence which is the essence- definite,
universal, continuous
2. Doer- B2 (activities in the imagination of the self in this Block) is
the Doer- recognises its relationship with other units & works out the
details of how to fulfill this relationship (thinking of plan)
3. Enjoyer-B1 & B2 both- enjoys superbliss, bliss, satisfaction, peace
and happiness at the level of realisation, understanding,
contemplation, comparing and tasting

We will look into the details of it when we talk about higher activities of
the self, where we will explain the diagram in the previous slide

Sum Up
Human Being is co-existence of Self and Body
Self is the seer, doer and enjoyer–
it is central to human existence

The need of the Self is continuous happiness


For this, the program of the Self is:
at all levels of being
1. As an individual, human being
To understand harmony & 2. As a member of the family
To live in harmony 3. As a member of society
4. As an unit in nature/existence

Understanding of harmony, feeling of harmony is at the level of Self

The Body is used as an instrument of the Self


The transaction between Self and Body is only in the form of
information, and is decided by the self

Module 1: Introduction

Lecture 6:
Basic Human Aspiration –
Continuous Happiness
and
its Fulfillment

Continuos Happiness as the Basic Human Aspiration


In the light of investigation made so far, we can now see that:

1. Basic human aspiration is for continuity of happiness.


The aspiration for the feeling of prosperity is in fact part of this
continuity of happiness

2. This is fulfilled by ensuring right understanding, right feeling and


right thought in the Self

3. This right feeling and right thought is called Resolution

4. Resolution in all aspects of our living calls for clarity about these
different aspects of our living- living in the self, with the body, in
relation with human being and nature/ existence

With this background, we can now deduce the following conclusion

Placement of these Different Aspects of Our Living


Recall from UHV1: The total expression of human being living with
realisation of co-existence (i.e. human conduct)

These different aspects of our living – living in the self, with the body, in
relation with human being and nature / existence – can be placed as
shown in the slides to follow. We can also relate as to how Resolution
has to do with clarity of all these aspects
