Exp value of Trust (Dynamic Activity)

Complimentariness:
1. Able to be helpful to each other (सहयोग)
2. Able to be willing co-workers, to collaborate in work (सहकार)
3. Able to be together, participate together (सहभागी)
 Transparency
Exp value of Respect (Dynamic Activity)

Right evaluation of leads to knowing one as s(he) is, without any makeup
When we are able to rightly evaluate each other, there are no “secrets”

In relationship, we have some evaluation about ourself and we have some evaluation about the
other. Transparency is the situation when:
· My evaluation about myself is the same as my evaluation by the other
· My evaluation about the other is the same as the evaluation of the other by the other

· Both also know that the other has our right evaluation
 I know that I have rightly evaluated the other
 The other knows that s(he) has rightly evaluated me

This situation is called transparency

 Commitment
Exp value of Affection (Dynamic Activity)

The acceptance for gladly fulfilling ones due, duties and expectations in relationship

With commitment:
1. We want to fulfil our due, duties and expectations in the relationship on our own right, rather than
under influence, pressure
2. We feel happy to fulfil our due, duties and expectations

When we don’t have commitment:

 Even the small responsibilities we take appear to be a burden
 We keep track of and keep comparing what I have done for the other and what the other has done
for me… we keep reinforcing the feeling is I am doing more that the other, I am better than the
other…
 Generosity
Exp value of Care (Dynamic Activity)

We feel responsible for taking care of the relative. Thus, we are committed and make effort to
ensure the physical facility (physio-chemical things) or service required for nurturing and
protection of the body of the relative. This is generosity.

Making the physical facility and service available from my side, without expecting anything in
return, is generosity.

By way of this feeling, we are able to make required physical facility and service available as and
when required for each other (for children, for old people…). In this way, we are able to fulfil our
responsibilities towards the previous and next generation
 Spontaneity
Exp value of Guidance (Dynamic Activity)

In the process of sharing and ensuring right understanding in the other Self, we can see that the
other primarily sees our conduct, our behaviour, our living first. S(he) listens and evaluates our
words much later. So, if we want to communicate something to the other, it is essential to have the
right understanding and live with the right feeling, right thought.

Living with the right understanding, right feeling and thought is called spontaneity.

I do not have the arrogance, i.e. feel that “I know, you don’t know”. Rather, we feel it our due to
share, to help the other to learn, to understand. This is a state of spontaneity

We are able to express our guidance, and the other is able to accept it, when we are able to speak
from the same level as that of the other

Thus, spontaneity is to do with:

1. Living in accordance with right understanding, with definite conduct
2. Accepting the other as being similar to myself
3. Rightly evaluating the competence, state and situation of the other
 Worship
Exp value of Reverence (Dynamic Activity)

When we are able to see excellence in the other (i.e. the other has right understanding and lives
with right feeling, thought); and we are able to see that the other is fulfilled within; then we are
inspired for excellence, to live with fulfilment ourself – we want to learn-understand from the
other

To be proactive for learning-understanding, to make effort for excellence is called worship

Thus, worship is to take help in order to develop right understanding; Which starts with copying,
following; and then progresses to obedience, discipline and finally being self-organised
 Ease
Exp value of Glory (Dynamic Activity)

We had seen that glory is the feeling of acceptance for those who have made, or are making
effort for excellence

The feeling that “I am more/better than the other” gives rise to our pride and ego

When we see excellence, to whatever extent, in the other, there is a reduction in our pride, our
ego – we feel more comfortable within. This state is called ease
 Softness
Exp value of Gratitude (Dynamic Activity)

Softness has to do with willingly making effort to express oneself in a harmonious manner

In relationships in which the other has been of help to us, in which we have a feeling of gratitude,
we try to live in harmony in those relationships

We make effort to live in harmony at least in these relationships, even if we are unable to do so
in other relationships

Softness in conduct is able to begin as an expression of gratitude

 Oneness
Exp value of Love (Dynamic Activity)

Oneness has to do with “not other”, we are one. In other words “all are our own, all are
interconnected, interdependent”

Oneness is the expression of the feeling of love

With the feeling of oneness, there is no boundary of “mine-not mine”

Presently there are so many boundaries and divisions based on race, language, skin-colour, sect
etc.

With the feeling of oneness, these mental boundaries drop off naturally
 Justice

Justice from my side = ensuring established values in myself and living with expressed values

By living in this manner, the other is able to evaluate me and I am able to evaluate the other:
 In my own right evaluation, if I find that I have been able to fulfil the expected feelings properly, it
leads to my fulfilment
 When the other is able to do the right evaluation of the right feelings being expressed by me, the
other also feels fulfilled

In this manner, mutual fulfilment is ensured

The established values continue to be within, while expressed values are seen while expressing
the established values in relationship
Ensuring the established values within and expressed values from my side in relationship is the
fulfilment of justice from my side
 Justice
Justice = recognition of relationship, fulfilment of values, right evaluation and mutual fulfilment
 
Now when we look at this definition, we can see that justice is simple being able to see the co-
existence with the other, being able to see the relatedness with the other

Being able to fulfil the established values and expressed values is human behaviour

Justice has to do with right evaluation in relationship and the achievement of mutual fulfilment
 Undivided Society
Undivided Society – Being able to ensure mutual fulfilment, justice from family to world family
 
As an individual, having the feeling of being related to all, and the mindset of undivided society is
significant

At the level of the whole society, what is significant is the realisation of the undivided society

The foundation of realising this undivided society is the mindset of undivided society in each and
every individual

At the root of justice in behaviour is resolution, i.e. right feeling and right thought

And at the root of right feeling and right thought is right understanding, i.e. knowledge

 Expression

In expressing feelings there is a significant role of language, facial expression, body language
and gestures

When we express through words, when we talk, then language is used. Then our style, our tone,
expression etc. communicate our feeling

Various facial features, particularly eye positions, are called facial expressions. E.g. raising
both eyebrows, smirking and showing the tongue are facial expressions

Body postures have to do with posturing the body in a particular manner for expressing
something specific. E.g. folding hands, shaking hands and hugging are body postures

Gestures are also significant in communication. Placing the body in a particular pose is called
gesture. E.g. a dance pose or a salute are gestures

These are collectively used in music and dance – for effective communication

Existential laws  by understanding relationship and harmony

Living in accordance with behavioural/societal and physical laws

It is to be noted that these behavioural/societal and physical laws are existential in nature – not
developed in any arbitrary manner by human beings
The existence is governed by existential laws; nature by natural, physical, behavioural/societal
laws – depending on how much of these laws have been understood, these laws may be
articulated in words, in a specific language in a certain manner by human beings

Resolution is having clarity of living with understanding of natural laws

 Liberation

To see reality as it is
To be rid of all types of misunderstandings, confusions

 असंग्रह (non-possessiveness)

Non-accumulation, avoiding accumulation

Ensuring required physical things, its right utilisation
Only the things required, and only in the required quantity are brought home
Three basic advantages of non-possessiveness:
1. We are able to fulfil our needs by way of right utilisation
2. Things are available for use by others in the society
3. Preservation and enrichment of natural resources

Non-possessiveness does not mean that we do not use things. It means that we use things in
the right sense, rather than to misuse them
Even if we are not over-using things, not indulging in their use, and just accumulating things,
then these things are not available for use by others in the society
It is natural for physical things to slowly deteriorate
 स्नेह (Affection)

To be able to accept the other as being related, interrelated, interconnected, interdependent and
to live with the feeling of relationship

We are able to see that the other also has the same needs as me; Needs of physical things as
well as of feelings

The other is also committed and making effort for fulfilling his needs, just like I am
The other also feels uncomfortable and unhappy when there is a lack of fulfilment, just like me
To the extent possible, we try to fulfil our needs

Equanimity/ Normal state = Free from hatred, unperturbed by evil in others
 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, which may or may not be in line with the
existential laws / principles

“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
 Updating of 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, which may or may not be in line with the
existential laws / principles

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

 Introduction

Sanskar – Understanding or Assumptions

Culture – The collective thought

Civilisation – Expression in the form of behaviour

Over the ages, various cultures and civilisations have taken shape. At the core of the civilisation
is its culture; and the base of the culture is what has been understood or assumed (without
understanding) about the existential reality i.e. truth, love and compassion
 
A civilisation is the expression of a culture in the form of behaviour. In order to share our
understanding, feelings and thoughts, various means of communication has been used such as
– language, literature, song, dance, drama, painting, sculpture…
 The Expressions can be in Various Forms

Modes of communication
 Language
 Literature
 Dance
 Song
 Music
 Drama
 Painting
 Sculpture…

Life style
 Social life – cultural festivals…
 Work life –

Systems of Production
 Food
 Clothes – weaving…
 Buildings – architecture…
 Machinery for above
 Gadgets, instruments…
 Culture

The key goal of culture is the correction of the sanskars of each and every individual; correction
of the feeling and thought
The aim of every culture, every cultural program is the correction of the sanskar, the
acceptances, the feeling and thought of everyone
The basic efforts in any culture are:
1. They organise various events that have an impact on people’s feelings and thought
process. E.g. Events like musical programs, dance performances, skits, plays and dramas,
effective speeches and lectures play a significant role in influencing the feelings, thoughts
and acceptances of most people in any society. Such role models, incidents, programs
leave deep impressions on our sanskar
2. They also organise gatherings at various significant stages of life, life events to inculcate
acceptances that would be helpful toward self-realisation; for developing the competence
required in fulfilling roles to be taken up in future
 Collective Programs

3 Types
1. Verbal communication
2. Audio-visual (or multi-media) communication
3. Publication
 Relationship between Sanskar and Communication & Publication

Sanskar – understanding or assumption based

Verbal, audio-visual communication, publication

These three play a major role in our sanskar – for good or for worse
 The sanskar can become better to the extent the impressions are about humanness, harmony
 If the impressions are about inhumanity, the sanskar can worsen
The feeling and thought is dependent on the state of sanskar

One important observation is that for an impression to be made on the sanskar, the
communication and publication has to be pleasing to the senses
So, is the content of these is related to justice, harmony and co-existence and it is served in a
pleasant manner, in a manner pleasing to the senses, then the impressions can be made for
developing human sanskars
 Civilisation

Sanskar individual level acceptances

Culture Related to way of thinking of individual human beings

Civilisation Related to behaviour of individual human beings

The decisions regarding behaviour, regarding what to do and what not to do are a matter of
thought, of culture. However, the precisely execution of these, can be seen in the behaviour, the
civilisation

In general the main part of civilisation is in the form of behaviour. Supporting this are the intake
(food etc.), routine, clothing, architecture

How these are planned or designed can be included when looking a bit more broadly
 Example: Design – indicator of civilisation

If production being done in the family, then the behaviour, interactions are a natural part of it.
However, if the design of the production system is such that family members have to go to
different places for work, then, separate time has to be found for behaviour, interaction amongst
each other.

Similarly, the design of homes may be conducive to interactions or may be otherwise, where the
possibility or opportunity is less

So, one civilisation may be family based – with families involved together in production, their
homes may be designed to promote interaction and common living

And another civilisation may be individual based – with individuals involved in production in
different places. Also their homes may be designed for individualistic or private living
 Impact of Civilisation

A civilization is vibrant, dynamic rather than being very rigid. There are Multiple ways of
expressing all that we have discussed in culture, including all the festivals and traditions

All the inputs from outside leave an impression on us; on our thought and therefore on our
actions.

e.g. when we watch a movie or documentary, it does have an impact on our thought; and also
may have an effect on our behavior – we may start speaking like the protagonist or get a pair of
jeans like our favourite character was shown wearing and so on

 Introduction

A discussion is required for charting out the possible steps for transition

- Can transition start from within (one or more individuals)

or
- Can transition begin from the system (through rules, regulations etc.)
 Introduction

· In order that a system runs smoothly, it is essential to go into the details of that system or
Order.
· It is important to recognise all the dimensions which are essential to achieve the goals
(objectives)* of this system or order
· What is to be done at the level of each dimension, in order to meet these objectives
· It is therefore required to compile a guide book giving guidelines and necessary details for
ready reference

* All Human goals have been extensively discussed in Lecture No. 2 . Main points of the
discussion are summarised as a reference at the end of this lecture.
 Constitution

· A guidebook (Constitution) containing basic principles and guidelines relating to human living
and his participation in this existence, is required for the smooth running of human systems.
This includes directives or advice on how to lead one's life and how to participate in the system
· The constitution describes in detail how to lead a Humane life. Whether one's lifestyle
conforms to humanness and human order or not, is clearly brought out in the constitution.
· The Human Order or System and its underlying principles (harmony) is clearly explained in the
constitution. Adherence to this at every level (beginning from one's own family to the global
family) is an indicator of smooth running of the system
· We shall now try to find out all those dimensions (pertaining to individual, family, society and
nature) which are needed to achieve the goals, which we must ensure while we live as human
beings in human order.
 Dimensions of Human Order

1. Education
2. Health
3. Justice
4. Production, Service
5. Exchange, Distribution
6. Right Utilisation
7. Preservation
8. Administrative Service
 Dimension of Education and Health

· Dimension of Education- Education plays an important role in ensuring human order.

Education builds the ability, the competence for Right Understanding, Right Thought and Right
Behaviour in every person. It enables one to behave properly with others human being and
work with mutual fulfillment with rest of nature and thereby contribute to the human order or
system.
· Dimension of Health - The achievement of this dimension can be seen in terms of health of
Human body. When this dimension is functioning well, people lead a life which is conducive to
good health.
· Human Being is coexistence of Self and the Body. The satisfaction in Self is ensured by the
dimension of education whereas health of the body is taken care by the dimension of health.
· When these two dimensions of Education & Health are ensured, every individual is able to live
as a human being and live with fulfillment, with mutual fulfillment.
 Dimension of Justice

· Dimension of Justice- When a human being with a healthy self and healthy body is able to
ensure fulfillment in relationships with other human beings, justice is ensured.

· Justice is ensuring recognition of relationship among human beings, its fulfillment through
values leading to mutual happiness. Practice of comprehensively abiding by this is known as
system of Justice.

· When Justice is ensured, trust and fearlessness is established within interpersonal relation and
system.
 Dimension of Production & Service

· Dimension of Production & Service - Production ensures physical facility required for fulfillment
of our physical needs. What we obtain as outcome of labour on rest of nature is known as
Production

· In addition, we notice that there are certain activities which do not produce anything but are
concerned with protection/maintenance. (Washing of clothes is one such activity where there is
no production but preservation/maintenance of existing items)

· Repair-Maintenance of such kind is not directly associated with manufacture of any item but
with the protection/maintenance of existing items, because along with manufacturing of new
items there is also a need for protection/maintenance of items already produced. Activities of
such kind are known as service
 Dimension of Exchange and Distribution

· The Exchange Dimension - We do not produse every item that we use nor we can perform
every kind of service that we need. We can produce only some of the items. All other items are
produced by others. Through Exchange, all such items and services are made available to us
as per our needs.

· Right Utilisation - We need to elaborate on how to utilise rightly, the things that we have
obtained by virtue of production or exchange. What is meant by Right Utilisation also needs to
be understood. A programme needs to be made to ensure right utilisation in society.

· Preservation (Security) - We need to preserve (enrich & protect) the natural resources which
we utilise for production and exchange. We look at this as Preservation (Security).
 Dimension of Services- Administrative and Social

· Administrative Service - In order that the system runs smoothly, it is essential to ensure the
dimensions of Human Order and to make sure they are working. This necessary function of
ensuring that systems are working properly is called as administrative service
· Social Service- Despite the efforts to ensure the different social dimensions, certain
shortcomings may remain. Taking care of them through relationships is called social service.
· Thus service can be of two types:
 One, which is being ensured by the system- Administrative Service
 The one which is being provided to each other by the society in relationship- Social
Service .
 Sources of Education

1. Mother-father, elders; family

2. Teachers; teaching institutions

3. Society, order (publicity, performance. publication)

•When the child is willing to learn and the teacher is willing to teach, then the process of
teaching and understanding becomes veru simple and natural.
•If the teacher has a feeling of guidance towards the child and the child has a feeling of
gratitude towards the teacher; a sense of glory for the teacher, then teaching and
understanding happens naturally. These feelings are ensured only if there is a feeling of
relationship.
•Education can be imparted only with the feeling of relationship.
•After discussing the process of education, we will discuss this point in further detail.

 Introduction

In this lecture we will discuss

What is to be done in terms of education at:
· Family level
· Society level
· at the level of policy in the system
 Education at Family Level- First 5 years
· Children learn a lot in their first 5 years. We have to generally focus on what things are necessary to
help them learn and understand.
 If we see it minutely, we have to help them learn and ubderstand the practices related to intake and daily
routine, practices related to style of living and practices related to expression in behaviour.
 In further details, he must learn; how to live and behave with parents, with brother and sisters and with friends.
· Parents have to pay a little attention to develop the collaborative mindset of a child. His attention should
be brought towards the cooperation that he gets from family, irregard of whether he is cooperative to
others or not .
In this context, parents can help child appreciate what he is getting from his family.
· Mindset towards Cooperation, sharing with others, creating opportunities of live and let live, can be
developed in children through small examples, stories and right behaviour.
· If family has business or production in the family itself, then child learns the skills at home (no extra need
for skill education in that area, later)
 Education at Society Level- Formal (School, College, University)

Formal process of teaching, learning and understanding things.

 Education at Society level- Informal (publicity, performance, publication)

Media, television, drama and books…

Festivals and functions...

Publicity, pergormance and publication can not be the main process of education. All these
things may be used as support system for what is given through direct interaction. If there is
anything wrong given throgh these, then the child will learn wrong, if it is right, then it will learn
right.

If his learning through these publicity etc., do not match with what he has learnt through direcr
interaction, if there is contradiction between the two, then he looses trust on one of these as he
may not have the opportunity to clarify this contradiction.
 Education at the level of System

Right to Education: Education is the basic requirement of every individual.

Therefore, every human being should have proper opportunity to get education.

Policies for human education (education for value based living)

·It should be decided as to what favourable conditions have to be provided for every child so as
to give opportunity for education to everyone.
·It should be properly expanded in the policy e.g. what and how much to be provided at which
level.
Primary school may be at village level, secondary school may be among 2-4 villages.
Research facilities may be established among 10-20 villages.
 Priority in Education Policy

1. Content and Method of education should be humane

2. Every person has the opportunity and favourable conditions to get the required education.
3. All supporting facility for education should be available
 Responsibility – Society and System

· Society and system are to be jointly responsible for providing all these things required for
education.
· It has to be ensured in this sense that education is the need of the society and the next
generation.
· In the absence of this, it has become the responsibility of Individual to ensure education for
himself or his children.
· As a result, it has become a business to earn, and not the responsibility.

the Body harmony (in order)
 Human Being as co-existence of Self and Body

Let us re-investigate what we have already studied:

· 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 Utilization of the Body

· This Physical Facility is to be ensured through production

 Human Being as co-existence of Self and Body

· 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)
 Feeling of Self-regulation in I  Program for it  Health in the
Body
The body is a self-organized unit (a harmony) with definite functions. All the cells in the body
work together to form tissues, organs and to maintain harmony with each other to participate in
the larger order (in the form of body).

Self (I) has responsibility to ensure the continuity of this harmony (at least not disturb it).

If the Self (I) has a feeling of responsibility toward the body, it does what is required for fulfilling
that responsibility.

This ensures health in the Body.

 Feeling of Self-regulation in I  Program for it  Health in the Body

Self (I) has to do two things to fulfill this feeling of responsibility toward the body
A. Ensure enough physical facility to fulfill the requirement of Nurturing, Protection and Right Utilization of
the Body
B. Ensure a life style which takes care of this Nurturing, Protection and Right Utilization of the Body

We will discuss about fulfilling this responsibility under A when we talk about Production System.
Presently, in Health System, we are going to discuss about fulfilling the responsibility under B.
 Feeling of Self-regulation in I  Program for it  Health in the Body

The body is a self-organized unit (a harmony) with definite functions. All the cells in the body
work together to form tissues, organs and to maintain harmony with each other to participate in
the larger order (in the form of body).

Self (I) has responsibility to ensure the continuity of this harmony (at least not disturb it).

If the Self (I) has a feeling of responsibility toward the body, it does what is required for fulfilling
that responsibility.

This ensures health in the Body.

 Self-organisation of the Body

· The body is a self-organized unit (a harmony) with definite functions.

· Each cell of the body is self-organised

· Body has the ability to regenerate most of its cells and organs continuously.

· Cells – Groups of Cells – Organised into organs and tissues – Organ systems – working
together to maintain harmony with each other.

· Each Organ system participates in the larger order (complete body) for the larger good of the
body as a whole.

Also, thoughts in response to outside events/circumstances etc.

To maintain health:
 Fibre rich food that is nutritious, digestible, tasty and digested waste is excretable.
 Awareness of other intake through our senses, especially while eating. e.g. being aware of how
much to eat, choice of food etc. (rather than watching TV, arguing with others while eating ….)
 Daily exposure to fresh air and sunlight and so on.
Daily Routine – in Harmony with Nature (Circadian Rhythm)
 Labour

 Where do we stand today-Mortality and Morbidity

· Communicable diseases – Major strides, Incidence - decreasing

(These are the diseases which has a probability to pass on from a diseased person to a healthy one, who come
in contact)

· Non-communicable diseases – 70% mortality due to these

In high income countries – 88%
(despite availability of best of medical facilities and medical care)
(These disease do not pass on through human contact)
Obesity – Increasing
Depression – Increasing
Suicide – Increasing
Majority of these are due to our life- style.

*communicable diseases, maternal causes, conditions arising during pregnancy and childbirth, and nutritional deficiencies

 Recommendations for the Health System

Following things can be done in different dimensions of the system to ensure health:
·Education system (formal and informal) – Ensuring an aware self with a feeling of responsibility
towards the body
~50% of diseases could be prevented by this
·Health system – To ensure education for maintaining awareness of the self with the body
through a balanced lifestyle, that includes the practice of
- Proper Intake and daily routine
- Labour and exercise
- Postures and breath regulation
More than 80% of diseases could be prevented by this
~5-10% – Education regarding home remedies…
Remaining ~5-10%
- Medication
- Surgery – Last resort
 Health Policy

· The Country’s Health System will have overall responsibility for ensuring health of every
citizen. It will be responsible for the total health (physical and mental) of all the citizens.

· Government funds will be primarily for treatment of communicable diseases and cases of
accidents.

· Funding for health education will be appropriately augmented, so that people and organisations
adopt healthy lifestyles, reducing the incidence of lifestyle related diseases, and consequently
the related expenses.
 Health System- At the level of society

At the level of society, we can look at the societal systems required to support, protect and enrich
family and social efforts. Some of these are outlined below.
 
1. Education system –
· Necessary to prepare every child in all dimensions of health
· (S)he develops the feeling of self-regulation
· Appropriate practice to keep the Body healthy

2. Family system –
· Harmony in the family provides a conducive environment for mental and physical health.
· A system of appropriate intake, routine and labour / exercise, etc. are essential part of the
family system.
· Skills and means to deal with minor ailments with home remedies.
· Participate meaningfully in above areas in the neighbourhood, in the family cluster and beyond.
 Health System- At the level of society …Continued

3. Health system at the societal level –

·Educatiom for societal health system has to be a part of Mainstream education as highlighted
in point 1.
·It would be focused on ensuring health and prevention of disease, rather than treatment of
disease alone.
·Promote labour, exercise and pranayam to keep the Body and breathing in balance.
·It would help to proliferate at all levels:
Good lifestyle practices, intake, routine and labour, as well as home
remedies for minor ailments.

4. Medicine and treatment at the level of system –

·Need to evolve holistic system of medicine and treatment based on different systems prevailing
today.
·It would be run as a service with a feeling of mutual fulfilment, rather than merely as a for-profit
business.
 Sum up
In essence, we need the following societal systems to support, protect and enrich family and social efforts:
 
Education system – It is necessary to prepare every child in all dimensions of health, so that (s)he develops
the feeling of self-regulation and has appropriate practice to keep the Body healthy.

Family system – It plays an important role. Harmony in the family provides a conducive environment for
mental and physical health. A system of appropriate intake, routine and labour / exercise, etc. are essential
part of the family system. It will also have the skills and means to deal with minor ailments with home
remedies. It would participate meaningfully in these areas in the neighbourhood, in the family cluster and
beyond.

Health system at the societal level – A core part of the societal system is the mainstream education. This
has been highlighted in point 1. Further, the health system would be focused on ensuring health and on
prevention of disease, rather than on treatment of disease alone. It would promote labour, exercise and
various means to keep the Body and breathing in balance. It would help to proliferate at all levels the good
lifestyle practices, particularly of intake, routine and labour, as well as home remedies for minor ailments.

Medicine and treatment at the level of system – An evolved holistic system of medicine and treatment
which is based on the essence of different systems prevailing today. It would be run as a service with a
feeling of mutual fulfilment, rather than merely as a for-profit business.

Basis for Humanistic Education and Humanistic Constitution
· The primary step to move towards the holistic alternative is to develop the right understanding
among human beings and the commitment to live accordingly and then to develop the requisite
skills and know-how to implement the right understanding in real life.
· In the first place, it calls for a change in the education system towards humanistic education.
· Education means to imbibe the understanding of harmony at all the levels of living.
Humanistic Education
· Humanistic education will incorporate appropriate integration of values and skills so that human
beings are able to understand their physical needs correctly and adopt suitable techniques and
production systems to cater to these needs in an eco-friendly and people friendly manner.
· It will also enable the realization of one’s innateness (svatva) as well as the universality and
definitiveness of ethical human conduct.
· To begin with, the education of a child starts at home. The child learns and understands things
living in close relations at home. So every model will entail the right kind of environment at
home for the child to develop.
· When the child needs more exposure to skills and knowledge, he/she will need a formal
system, in the form of some collective effort in the society.
· To start with it is necessary to introduce the required inputs of value education.

· It is a useful exercise for us to learn how a child can be facilitated to have the right
understanding since childhood, how it will learn languages, reading, writing and arithmetic
skills, and skills that form a part of higher education.
