UHV II Lecture 11 - HB Harmony of Self With Body v1

This document discusses the harmony between the self and the body. It explains that the self is the central aspect of human existence and is conscious, while the body is material and serves as an instrument for the self. The self has the responsibility of nurturing, protecting and properly utilizing the body. Physical facilities are needed to fulfill this responsibility, but only in a limited quantity to provide for nurturing, protection and utilization. True prosperity involves having more than the required physical facilities through properly identifying needs and meeting them with the right skills. The document cautions against misunderstanding that the human being is equal to the body or that physical facilities are needed without limit.

If we can see that, the physical facility for
nurturing, protection and right utilisation of the body
is required in a limited quantity,
then we can understand the meaning of prosperity

1.Lacking physical facility, unhappy deprived (lqfo/kk foghu nq[kh nfjnz )
2.Having physical facility, unhappy deprived (lqfo/kk laiUu nq[kh nfjnz )

Now we can see that if the identification of required physical facility is


missing, then one can only shift between category 1 & category 2
