14
Sum Up
Human being is a co-existence of Self and Body

Self is consciousness. Its needs are feelings in consciousness (like happiness)

and these needs are fulfilled by activity of consciousness, i.e. Right
Understanding & Right Feeling
Body is material. Its needs are material (like food) and these needs are fulfilled
by material, i.e. Physio chemical things

The needs of consciousness can not be fulfilled by material

The needs of material can not be fulfilled by consciousness alone

The recognition & fulfillment of the body is definite

The recognition & fulfillment in the self is on the basis of knowing, assuming
 If the assumption is based on knowing, the assumption is right and the
recognition & fulfillment is correct  definite conduct
 If the assumption is without knowing, the assumption may or may not be
right , so the recognition & fulfillment is uncertain  indefinite conduct

Self Reflection
Self Reflection
1. Is human being
 just the body or
 co-existence of self and body or
 something else

2. Are you able to see distinctly & separately

 The need of the self & the need of the body
 The fulfillment of the need of the self & need of the body
 The activity of the self & the activity of the body
 The response of the self and the response of the body

3. Are you going by assuming or by knowing? Whether

your recognition & fulfillment is based on:
 assuming without knowing or
 assuming based on knowing

17
FAQ
FAQ
1. Some of the activities of the body are also continuous, like
breathing, like blood flowing through the blood vessels. Right?

2. How can we be sure that thoughts are going on all the time? Like
when we are sleeping, we are not thinking… I suppose

3. I can see the body because it is tangible, but the self is intangible.
So how can we see the self?

4. What happens to the self after the body dies? Does it also die with
the body?

5. Once you know, why would you still need to assume? Please
explain what exactly is the meaning of knowing and what is the
meaning of assuming

6. Is the self same as mind?

19
Evaluation of Current Situation - Gross Misunderstanding
Assumption: Human being = Body
Needs of human being = physical facility
and feelings
Need for feelings (like respect) is continuous

All needs are fulfilled by physical facility

(Eg. clothes, house, car… will fetch respect)

Physical facility required = unlimited!

20
Some Implications of a wrong assumption
If the assumption is Human Being = Body

Then happiness is sought through

 sensation (through the body) or
 getting the right feeling from the other

As a result
 The body is harmed due to excessive consumption or over indulgence to
get favourable sensation
 Continuity of happiness can not be ensured
 There is a major impact on family, society, nature…

e.g.
Over eating, consumption of "junk food" etc. is common
A large number of diseases are psychosomatic in nature
Today many of the complaints are related to the lack of feeling
21
Implications on Health Education & Health Services
1. Understanding the importance of the self in keeping the body healthy. Health
care professionals will be able to take care of both the health of the body as
well as understanding in the self
A large number of diseases are psychosomatic in nature
Many disorders are related to lack of understanding of a healthy lifestyle

2.Understanding the importance of the self and the feeling related to the self,
caregivers will be able to take into account the feelings while providing care
Today many of the complaints are related to the lack of feeling
The major issue of exploitation for profit will be handled

3. One would be able to make right utilisation of physical facility

If happiness is sought through sensation alone
– continuity of happiness can not be ensured
– the body is harmed due to excessive consumption or over indulgence to
get favourable sensation
Today over eating, consumption of "junk food" etc. is common
22
FAQ: Is Self = Ego?
Ans: When you do not understand the self, you sometimes over-
evaluate the self and at other times under-evaluate the self

This over-evaluation of the self is Ego

Under-evaluation of the self is Depression

Both are caused by lack of understanding the self

Seer, Doer, Enjoyer for fulfillment my program
(Experiencer)

30
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 instrument that enable the Self to
see something outside

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

Thus, the Self ‘sees’ or understands, sometimes with the help of the
body, sometimes without the help of body

The Body is used as an instrument

31
I am the Doer
“Doer” means the one that does, who takes decision to do

I am the one who decides. I decide what to do, what not to do...

I may or may not use the body to do – what I think of is my decision. I do

that thinking within myself (there is no role of the body in this)

If required, the body is used to express my decision

The Body is used as an instrument

32
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

The Body is used as an instrument

34
Sum Up
Human Being is co-existence of Self and Body
The 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:

To understand harmony & at all levels of being

To live in harmony 1. As an individual human being
2. As a member of the family
3. As a member of society
4. As an unit in nature/existence

Production, protection and right utilization of physical facility is a part of

my program (<1/4th)
The Body is an instrument of the Self
The transaction between Self and Body is only in the form of information

Self Reflection
Self Reflection
1. Find out if you (self) decide what to do or your body decides what to
do

2. Which is the higher priority for you – your self or your body?

3. Can you see that you use your body as an instrument to fulfill your
desires (right or wrong desires)?

37
Questions
FAQ
1. It has been scientifically proven that the brain controls the body. So
is the brain the self?

2. I thought seeing is through the senses only. You are saying that we
can see without the use of sensation also. It does make sense.
Please explain what is the full meaning of seeing?

3. When we want to convey something to another person, we use

some words or some gestures, some drawing… something to
convey the meaning of what we want to convey. So isn’t there
always a role of sensation in communicating?

Sum Up
The Self has activity of Desire, Thought & Expectation, together called
Imagination. This is going on continuously
Behaviour/Work is an expression/outcome of Imagination

Imagination is motivated by Preconditioning, Sensation or Natural

Acceptance

Desires based on Natural Acceptance lead to harmonious thought &

expectation. This is harmony in the Self . This is the state of self-
organisation. This is the state of happiness. In this state, the
behaviour/work is also mutually fulfilling – the conduct is definite

Desires based on preconditioning or sensation may lead to contradiction

in thought & expectation. This is disharmony in the Self . This is the
state of enslavement. This is the state of unhappiness. In this state,
the behaviour/work may or may not be mutually fulfilling – the conduct
is not definite

Sanskar
Sanskar =
Acceptances derived out of ∑ [ Desire + Thought + Expectation ]
from all time

Presently, it is likely to be a mixture of:

 Understanding of the human reality, of the universal, invariant existential
laws / principles
 Conclusions drawn from life events / experiences

“What I Am” is largely our sanskar

Our perspective is a part of our sanskar
Our tendencies, habits, likes-dislikes are also a part of our sanskar

 Conclusions drawn from life events / experiences

Sanskar is updated over time:

Sanskar (t+1) = Sanskar (t) + Environment (t) + Self-exploration (t)

As we self-explore, verify and understand, our sanskar gets updated

A conducive environment is helpful

1. Are activities of desire, thought and expectation going on in you?
2. Are these going on continuously or you can stop them?

3. Make a list of your imagination (desires, thoughts & expectations)

Then categorize them as
 Those that are about
 Physical facility, sensation
 Feeling in relationship or lack of it
 Understanding or lack of it
 Those that are connected to
 Need of Self
 Need of body
 Those that are motivated by
 Preconditioning
 Sensation
 Natural Acceptance

1. How can we differentiate between desire and thought and
expectation? It all seems to be one thing

2. Most of the time, we are not able to remember what is going on in

our imagination. Is there some practice, like meditation to become
aware of it?

3. Different people in my family have different preconditions. Can we

ever be in harmony as a family?

4. After the last session, my problems have increased. In fact, I was

quite happy before. Now I can see many contradictions within…

Meditation: To See The Reality As It Is
Paying attention is primary or
object of attention is primary?

For example, a thief knows how to concentrate. He does pay attention to

something he considers valuable

You are also concentrating on what you consider valuable. For example
- If money is important for you, you keep track of your bank balance
- If relationship is important for you, you keep track of trust

It is the object of focus that is significant and not just the method of
concentration. If you can realise that you are significant, then you will pay
attention to your Self
- You will become aware of what is going on in your desire, thought &
expectation
- You will become aware of your natural acceptance (so you will always decide
on the basis of your natural acceptance)

So essentially we are talking about meditation every moment, meditative living,

living with awareness every moment

79
Categorise: Preconditioning, Sensation and Natural Acceptance
Few desires are based on Natural Acceptance
Most of the desires are based on Preconditioning
and Sensation

If most of the Needs are based on Preconditioning or

Sensation, then one is living mostly in enslavement
(being dictated by other, environment)

Effort required for self-organisation:

a) Self awareness
b) Evaluation of desire on the basis of your natural
acceptance
If desire is naturally acceptable, it will become
definite & continue; otherwise it will slowly become
corrected or drop off

Gross Misunderstanding 1 – Human Being = Body
Assumption: Human being = Body
Needs of human being = physical facility
and feelings
Need for feelings (like respect) is continuous

All needs are fulfilled by physical facility

(Eg. clothes, house, car… will fetch respect)

Physical facility required = unlimited!

98
Gross Misunderstanding 2 – There is a Shortage of Physical Facility
Data: Of the 4.2 billion tons of food produced, more than 1 billion tons of food
is lost or wasted every year, UN-backed report finds (11 May 2011)
About a third of all the food produced for human consumption each year – or
roughly 1.3 billion tons – is lost or wasted, according to a new study
commissioned by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)

Global Food Production is 6 times requirement

Global Food Wastage is 1/3rd of production
Wastage is enough to feed 1300 crore people/year

Have we understood human needs?

Have we understood right utilisation?
Is it a question of production or distribution?
Is it a question of relationship?
Is it a question of right understanding?
It is a question of right education-sanskar

Sum Up
Human Being is co-existence of Self and Body
The Self is central to human existence; Body is an instrument of the Self
The transaction between Self and Body is only in the form of information

Physical Facility is required, in a limited quantity, for Nurturing, Protection &

Right Utilisation of the Body

Prosperity = Feeling of having / producing more than required physical facility

1. Identification of required physical facility (including the required quantity)
– with right understanding
2. Ensuring availability/ production of more than required physical facility
– with right skills
The Self and the Body are in Harmony when there is a feeling of Self-regulation
in the Self and Health in the Body
 Self-regulation = Feeling of responsibility toward the body – for Nurturing,
Protection and Right Utilization of the Body
 Health = The body acts according to Self and parts of the body are in
harmony (in order)

Self Reflection
Self Reflection
1. Do you have a feeling of Self-regulation (responsibility toward your
body)? – continuous?

2. Is your body healthy?

3. Find out – how much physical facility is required in your family; how
much physical facility is available. An on that basis are you
prosperous or deprived?

4. Do you have a feeling of prosperity? – continuous?

5. Do you think of
 Right utilisation of physical facility and nurturing others (human beings / rest of
nature)?
 Accumulating more physical facility or exploiting others?

Questions?
FAQ
1. How can we find out how much money is required i.e. determine our
physical needs?
I am asking because prices keep changing and there is no
guarantee that we will not have some accident or some illness
where we don’t know how much the treatment will cost. We have to
include insurance for all these contingencies…

2. Does Sayam mean self control or self restraint? What exactly is the
English word for Self-regulation?

3. If we become satisfied, then there will be no motivation for

development. So many great inventions took place during world
wars, like operations research, like radar… What is your comment
on it?

4. If there is relationship and prosperity, then there is no need for

corruption! How can we reach this knowledge to those doing all this
corruption?

Some Implications of a wrong assumption
If the assumption is Human Being = Body

Then happiness is sought through

 sensation (through the body) or
 getting the right feeling from the other

As a result
 The body is harmed due to excessive consumption or over indulgence to
get favourable sensation
 Continuity of happiness can not be ensured
 There is a major impact on family, society, nature…

e.g.
Over eating, consumption of "junk food" etc. is common
A large number of diseases are psychosomatic in nature
Today many of the complaints are related to the lack of feeling

Why “More than Required Physical Facility”
If my family is prosperous, then:

1.We identify the required physical facility for the family (including the
required quantity) – with right understanding

2.We produce more than the required physical facility using cyclic,
mutually enriching process – with right skills

3.We consume as much as is required (for nurturing, protection & right

utilisation of the body), and not more – with a feeling of Self-regulation

4.We share the rest for mutual fulfillment in relationship & for order in
society – with a sense of responsibility in relationship
