Natural Acceptance of Human Values

It is right to say that we naturally accept Human Values in the light of  our understanding of Harmony and Co-Existence. Every Human being naturally expects to be purposeful and successful. Our wisdom is the true source for realizing these expectations. This source could never be obliterated - every person naturally accepts  goodness, Every person naturally expects goodness to happen. We all are waiting for goodness to happen. The place where goodness would be realized will naturally be in our relationships with other entities in existece. Recognition of a relationship in existence is essentially recognizing of its innate purpose or value. This is study in existence. Commitment in a relationship is a natural outcome of this recognition. Thereafter perfection in Harmony in that relationship becomes inevitable. Perfection naturally results in fruitfulness or success. Omni-dimensional resolution  emanating from Jeevan is always connected with all our relationships.
Human values need to be lived. What will it take to fulfil this need? Human values are realized by understanding of Jeevan, understanding of existence as co-existence, and by natural acceptance of humane conduct. Wisdom is nothing else but this.When we begin realizing human values only then we become capable of doing right, and become proficient in doing right.Till then we are trapped in one mania or the other - and there's no way for us to do right. Understanding  Jeevan and understanding Existence are essentialfor becoming wise. Moreover, values are realized only upon recognition of the meaning or purpose of relationships   Courtesy: JEEVAN VIDYA (Excerpted from: Human Values and Professional Ethics by Prof. Dr Bhagwat S. Goyal (Srijan Prakashan, Ghaziabad.

All Existence as Co-Existence : Jeevan Vidya

The basic meaning of the word 'Existence'  is 'to be in harmony with whatever exists.' We can understand the word 'Existence'  as denoting two words:  Exist and Essence. 'Exist' means 'to be' , while 'Essence' means 'Harmony'. All entities in Existence are energized in Co-Existence itself. Energized Nature is a marvellous expression of Co-Existence. We can realize Humanness only with mentality of Co-Existence.
Existence is an eternal Truth.There's no increase or decrease in Existence. What is the evidence of this? Whatever is there before us is active presence. Existence is Nature saturated in Space.Ever-Presence of Existence is not going to be annihilated ever. Whole Existence is Orderliness. Understanding Co-Existence  itself is ultimate Truth. Trusting in the Ever-Presence  of Existence itself is Happiness. Wait for the next blog. Keep in touch. Specially useful for UPTU students.

Desire for Happiness and Prosperity

Desire is a sense of longing for a person or object or hoping for an outcome. When a person desires something or someone, their sense of longing is executed by the enjoyment of the thought of the item or person, and then they want to take action to obtain their goal. Hobbes asserted that human desire is the fundamental motivation of all human action.
What is happiness? According to Ayn Rand,"Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values. A morality that dares to tell you to find happiness in the renunciation of your happiness - to value the failure of your values -is an insolent negation of morality. A doctrine that gives you, as an ideal, the role of a sacrificial animal seeking slaughter on the altars of others, is giving you death as your standard. By the grace of reality and the nature of life, man - every man - is an end in himself, he exists for his own sake, and the achievement of his own happiness is his highest moral purpose."
Prosperity is the state of flourishing, thriving, success, or good fortune.Prosperity often encompasses wealth but also includes other factors which are independent of wealth to varying degrees, such as happiness and health.Prosperity is not moral or ethical, it can go to the robber baron or the ruthless.It comes from organization of Power. It is not to be shunned. It reduces ignorance and illness, and provides and supports freedom. It issues from industry, responsibility, honesty, organization, common sense and alertness in life. It is energy organized. It is indispensable for jealth, education, and happiness.

Learn Values through Self-Exploration

*Human desires and plan of action to fulfil them. ** The main focus - 'Myself' - human aspirations and endeavour *** Need to know who we are as both Personality and Soul. ****Insights into 'Who am I' give us joy. *****Mirror and the Identity: Knowing yourself is wisdom. ****** No definite answers to 'Who am I ?', so be at ease with everyone. *******Self-understanding gives us a sense of fulfilment.
Seek your identity through the relationships you form. Reach beyond and above Self and Encounter the Unknowable. Cherish larger-than-life thoughts. "What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves?"(Merton). To realize our inherent happiness , we should know ourselves. Do not give up your Hold on the Self. You are your own raw material: Invent Yourself.
