F acilitators messageWe are going to be talking about ourselves during the next 3 days. And it will be bothinteresting and fun. We shall try and discover a couple of things about ourselves andthis should trigger off a process of self exploration in you.Everything we are going to state is a proposal. So dont assume it to be right. Youneed to evaluate it yourself.This is not a classroom! This is a space for collective dialogue, where we shall and tryand explore a couple of things together. So you need to relax and be comfortable!
And speak your mind!We are not talking about dos and donts. So this is not moral science! These arethings you can self verify. Only accept it if you find it true, else do not accept it .The process that will get started in you should be useful for you not only during your career with Satyam, but also outside the workplace and in your life ahead.The success of this workshop would depend on how attentively you listen to what isbeing stated and how sincerely you evaluate the same thing within yourself. So, thisis not something you have to learn. This is something you have to start payingattention to, and when you start paying attention, you will see that you are able to getthe answers yourself.Do remember the following: Take notes Keep an open mind Do the exercises suggested sincerely Your involvement is key! This is not a monologue, its a dialogueLastly, this is an ongoing process and does not end in three days!

3 ) Physicalfacilities humansNescessarybut notcomplete
Do you want something more? What is that something more?Cows are ok with grass. You have enough, then think of a 100 things. What are these 100 things?
2) Relationships
1) Right understanding
Relationship with restof nature leads tomutual prosperity
a) Decide requirements
b) ensure more than it
Which out of the three is more important?Is the unhappiness in your family more due to lack of 3) physical facilities or 2) relationship ?
Does 3 ensure 2 & 1?
Are all 3 required or can we do away with one of them?What are we working for today? Our education, our civilization?
If all 3 are needed, what is the priority?
Feeling of prosperity = a) know how much is needed b) have morethan it. Without Right Understanding, can a) be ensured?. I.e. without1) Right understanding, we will have wealth, but not have the f eeling of prosperity ..Prosperity is the feeling of having more physical thingsthan our needs. Prosperity needs 1) Right Understanding & 3 ) Physical
facilities
Today, we have shunned 1 & 2, & focusing largely on 3
Are 1 & 2 important or not?
Are you investigating into them?
Verify this with your own list of wants
1- 4
i.e. Right understanding is required to ensure fulfillment in human relationship
& mutual prosperity with nature Prosperity means knowing how much we need andhaving more than it. If we are feeling prosperous, we think in terms of nurturing the other,not exploiting or taking away from the other. Today we have wealth, but do notFeel prosperous. Because we have not decided how much we want, we cant have more thanit. We thus feel deprived. This feeling of deprivation leads to unhappiness.On the other hand, since we are unable to understand relationships, we are not able tofulfill them, thus leading to unhappiness.
Today, there are two kinds of people in the world:1) Those that do not have physical facilities/wealth and feel unhappy and deprived2) Those that have physical facilities/wealth and feel unhappy and deprived
We want to move from this to3 ) Having physical facilities and feeling happy and prosperous
To ensure that we are like 3 ) above, we need the right understanding. So having or working for Physical things is not enough, we also have to work to ensure the right understanding andRelationship, because our happiness depends on it. Physical facilities are thus a necessaryBut not sufficient condition for prosperity.
I.e . 1) Right Understanding + 2) Relationships= Happiness
I.e 1) Right Understanding + 3 )Physical Facilities= Prosperity
Thus, we need this right understandingLet us investigate into what this
Right Understanding is

Key take-aways so farIn addition to physical things, we have other wants:
Right Understanding Relationship
Animals can do without the above, but not thehumanWithout Right Understanding, neither are we able toensure relationships with humans, nor ensure asense of prosperity i.e. we have wealth, but do notfeel prosperousThe priority thus is1. Right Understanding,2. Relationships3 . Physical Facilities

Exercise
Write down what you really want to be
1- 5
Are you what you really want to be?
We find that we are not what we want to beThis disharmony, between what we are and what we want to be
causes a contradiction, a dichotomyThis contradiction is the cause for our unhappinessHence, we need to bridge this gap, in order to ensure happiness
F or this, we will have to explore into ourselvesWe also have to explore into the other things around us: family,society & nature
Are you that today?What does this gap do to you?

What is the 3 day Workshop about?
1. It is a process of dialogue between what you are and whatyou really want to be We just saw that we are not what we really want to be. Hence, we needto establish a dialogue
2. It is a process of sel f
exploration and sel f
evolution In order to establish this dialogue, we need to look into ourselves i.e.we need to do self exploration
3 . It is a process of knowing oneself and through that knowingthe entire existence.
We want to understand ourselves, and everything else around us
1- 6
Only proposals would be made in this workshop. You have to evaluate these proposals on your
Own right. There are no dos and donts.
This workshop is basically a dialogue within you,To discover yourself and your life, and all the things
around you
-
8/9/2019 jeeven-vidya- Life Technology Management
10/80
1. It is a process of dialogue betweenwhat you are and what you really want to be
Each one of us is faced with this contradiction. We are somethingand we want to be something elseThis basic dichotomy , this basic contradiction has to be resolved
What you are comes from your preconditioning, your predispositions. What you want to be is something intact in you.This dialogue needs to be started - Between what you are and whatyou really want to beThe contradictions are not only outside of you. The contradictionsare also inside you. So it is the contradictions within that are theprimary cause for your unhappinessAnd all our unhappiness, all our discomfort, all our unease isbecause of this contradiction withinWe are all different in what we arein what we really want to be, weare all the same.In these 3 days, we are going to be looking into ourselves
1- 6
dialogue
The basic cause for our unhappiness is theContradictions that are within you.
These Contradictions need to be resolved
-
8/9/2019 jeeven-vidya- Life Technology Management
11/80
2. It is a process of self exploration and self evolution
In order to do establish this dialogue betweenwhat we are what we really want to be, we haveto explore into ourselves.It is just not a question of exploring outside, butalso inside. We have to start exploring intoourselves. And through the process of self exploration we can achieve self evolution.When this starts and we have evolved, it means
the dialogue has been established and we haveresolved the earlier dichotomy we are what wereally want to be -one is at ease with oneself,one is at comfort in oneself,- one is happy.
1- 6
A process of self exploration is needed since theContradictions are within ourselves (the self)And this is where they need to be resolved
-
8/9/2019 jeeven-vidya- Life Technology Management
12/80
3 . It is a process of knowing oneself andthrough that knowing the entire existence.
Having known oneself, we know the things around usWe dont know ourselves, and it is we that understandthe world, hence, all the preconditioning we have within,the contradictions we have within, reflects in our
perception of the worldHence, no matter how many questions I ask andanswers I get, they are colored by me, the colors throughwhich I am seeingTherefore, it is needed to know oneself first, and when Iam sure about myself and that there is no coloring thereand I am equipped to see the reality as it is, see thereality directly, without coloring, only then there is asense of really knowing things around me
1- 6
It is only after knowing ourselves that we can be sure
Of the knowledge we have of things around us.
Through knowing ourselves, we can also know theThings around us

What do I want?
Happiness Prosperity ContinuousI body
Happiness: The state/situation I am in, if there is harmony/synergy in it, then Ilike to be in that state/situation. To be in a state of liking is happiness
- to be in a state of harmony is happinessUnhappiness: If there is contradiction/opposition in it, then I dont like to be in
that state. To be forced to be in the state of disliking is unhappiness
Defining Happiness1- 7
Happiness is in the 6 situations in which I live1. In the self 2. With the Body3. In F amily4. In Society
5. In Nature6. In ExistenceIf there is disharmony at any of these levels,it becomes cause for our unhappiness
W hat is prosperity? F eeling of having more physical facilities than required
F or Prosperity, two things are required-1. Identification of the quantity required for physical need &2. Ensuring availability/ production of more than required physical facilities
Today, we are not able to identify as to how much quantity is required & therefore we
continue to be deprived, irrespective of any amount of physical facility we have.
Continuous Happiness and prosperity is the basicHuman need. This is the same for all human beings
Everything that everyone does, is basically to becomeHappy.
To be prosperous, we have to first decide how muchis needed. Else, we are bound to feel deprived

Process of Understanding (Self Exploration)
It is a proposalDont accept it or assume itVerify it in your own right
Not on the basis of scriptures Not on the basis of instruments Not on the basis of others
Self verification
Ask the question inside, notoutside
Ex: Are Trust, respect,happiness naturally acceptable?
- No one told us this, taughtus this, we just know it
This natural acceptance issomething Intact, Inherent, samein all of us
It is already there, sitting in you,tells you what is right and wrong
If you think of opposition, youbecome unhappy at the verymoment
There is Harmony in existence,a possibility of fulfillment in
existence, we do not have tocreate it, we only need tounderstand it to be in it
When we act on the basis of our natural acceptance, we becomeassured in ourselves, and are incomfort, in ease
1- 8
There is something deep within us that tells us what isRight and what is wrong. We have to start accessing this.
This is something intact, inherent in all of us.
We only have to start referring to it.
It is possible to have the answers on our own right

Process of Self StudyCheck whether you have been trained to believe so far?
We come under innumerable influences and end up believing thingswithout verifying themHence, we run with wants, assumptions that are not even our ownWhen we act on the basis of our natural acceptance, we becomeauthentic.The Harmony does not have to be constructed
It has been in existence since all time We only need to understand it to be in itYou will find that 2 humans with different preconditioning will never agree Because they each have different conditioning, beliefs When they act on the basis of their natural acceptance, they find
agreementVerify all the proposals put to you to date They have become part & parcel of your preconditioning We are unaware of ourselves. Do I own something in me or not? = we are not clear about our own
state of mind We need to become more aware of ourselves, more authentic
1- 8
We have a lot of preconditioning in us. Thus wewe are carrying desires that are not even our own. This
causes uncertainty in us we are never sure
These desires/wants or preconditioning have to beverified by each one of us, on our own right.
The basis for the verification is our ownNatural acceptance

Process of self studyWe will verify the desire & program of actionDont assume what is being said in thisworkshop!When a proposal passes through your Natural
Acceptance and leads to mutual fulfillment itbecomes part & parcel of your beingExistence is not a problem.. It is humanunderstanding that is incomplete
Human Being has an acceptance for being inharmony. Do you ? We will explore ourselves, existence.the entire
span of our being using our natural acceptance
1- 8
When a proposal passes through your own Natural
Acceptance, it becomes true for you.
We are given to think that the problem lies outside.When we explore, we find out that the problem
Is inside, in us: our own lack of understanding: our inability to understand reality as it is

-Continuous Happiness & Prosperity
1- 10
The way to understand is via your own natural acceptance
C an we undermine any o f these levels o f being?
I f this is ensured what else do you want?
Are these questions relevant? Are these the 2 most impquestions of your life?W e have assumed some desire,
some program & doing it.Once we have answers to these
questions what other important questions remain?
Having clarity on your desire and program of actionare the 2 most significant things for your life.
These have to be self decided, on the basis of your Natural acceptance. Not decided from the outside .

Summary of Day 1We all have wants or desiresOn studying these it can be seen these wants can be categorized as 1) RightUnderstanding, 2) Relationships and 3) Physical F acilitiesBy and large today, we are not what we really want to beThere is a difference between what we are what we really want to be This is the reason for our confusion and our unhappiness This is why we have split personalities What we are, is based on loads of preconditioning we have accumulated over all
these years What we really want to be, is intact in each one of us and can be known We are all different in what we are, but similar in what we want to beWe have to start observing ourselves We have to start recognizing our preconditioning This is possible through self observationWe have to start evaluating everything on the basis of our natural acceptanceand check whether we are acting on the basis of preconditioning or on thebasis of self verification We will begin to see that the answer from our natural acceptance is always the
same We will also slowly start seeing that the answer from natural acceptance is the same
for everyone

Characteristics of I & Body 2 -2.1
Human Being is Co-existence of I and BodyThere is exchange of information between I & BodyNeeds of I are Respect, Happiness, etc, while Bodys needs are physical facilities, food etcActivities of I are continuous in nature (thinking) while that of Body are temporary in nature
(walking, eating, sitting etc)Needs of I are qualitative (ex: respect, happiness, love) while those of body are quantifiable
(3 metres of cloth, 1 Kg Rice, etc)Activities of I are desiring, thinking, selecting, and those of body are eating, breathing, etc
Co-existenceHuman = I (self ) Body
Information
Need (Respect) (Food)
Need Happiness Physical facilities
In Time Continuous Temporary
In Quantity Qualitative Limited ( Changes with respect totime and quantity)
Fulfilled by Right understanding & Physico-Chemical Thingsright feeling food, shelter etc.
Activities Desire, thinking, selecting Eating, breathing
Quantifiable
Human Being is a co-existence of I & Body

Exercise: Needs of I & Body2-2.3
Want Related to Body? Related to I?
Ex: Jazzy Car
Ex: Transport
Ex: F ood
Ex: Tasty F ood
Ex: Trust
Ex: Happiness
Ex: Knowledge
Ex: USD 5 Mil
Ex: Love
Ex: Good Health
Ex: Prosperity
Ex: MBA
Clarification: Ultimately, it is I that wants these things for itself and the body. Some of these are fulfilled within I itself,
while some are fulfilled by means of the body
What the body needs is protection. The Jazzy part of the car is a need of I
Transport, that is for right utilization of the Body is related to Body only
F ood, that nourishes the Body is related to Body only
Nourishment is for body, taste is for I. Nourishing food can also be tasty
Trust is a need of the I. It can be expressed through the body
Happiness is basically a need of I. We currently try for this v ia the body sensations
Need to know is a need of I. The body is used as an instrument
The amount 5Mil is Is assumption. It could be for respect, sense of security This money could beused for nurturing & protecting the body
Love is a need of I. It can be expressed through the body
Good health, is a need related to body
The feeling of prosperity is for I
MBA is for I. This could be for learning, respect, money, etc.
I.e. Needs of I and Body are distinct and can beUnderstood by self observation.
Our basic problem today is that we have confused
The needs of I and Body. This is because weDont understand these properly, as beingSeparate with distinct needs.
If we are able to understand this, then we canDraw a program of action to address their
Individual needs

Exercise: Needs of I & Body: Classify as knowledge, relationship & physicalfacilities
2-2.4
Want Knowledge Relationship Physical FacilitiesEx: Big Car
Ex: Transport
Ex: F ood
Ex: Tasty F ood
Ex: TrustEx: Happiness
Ex: Knowledge
Ex: USD 5 Mil
Ex: Love
Ex: Good HealthEx: Enough Money
Ex: Lot of Money
Ex: Respect
Ex: Recognition
Ex: Affection
What we ultimatelywant from all of these
things is happiness
..for which we need the right Understanding without whichW e cant even have relationships &
prosperity
The Big in the car has to do with understanding, or knowledge
Our seemingly unlimited list of desires/wants can beClassified as to do with
1. Knowledge
2. Relationships3. Physical F acilities.
If we are able to understand this, it is possible to resolvethese seemingly unlimited and contradictory wants
As of now, our desires have become muddled.like bigCar, which include needs of I and Body, both.

Observations on wants table2-2.5
Observation1 : Most of us are made to believe that desires are unlimited. Whenwe go about listing them we realize whether they are limited or unlimited. These
desires are not inexhaustible.
Observation2 : Most of the desires are related to I, very few to body. Health isthe only requirement related to body. Who wants to keep it healthy? Ans: I wantto keep it healthy.
Observation 3 : The most you can do with money is ensure health for the body.Today, we focus on money assume just have money, the rest of it will come.Health, happiness, everything can be bought. Shop, Eat, Celebrate! Evenanimals are able to ensure health, humans are not even able to ensure this!!
Observation4: Desires of I are in 2 categories:
A) KnowledgeF
rom I to entire existenceB) Being in relationship F rom I to entire existence (wanting to relate to everyunit)
-- These are the 2 basic needs if these are ensured, the other desires would follow and be fulfilled.I.e: Basic need for I is knowledge and relationship (right feelings) and basic needfor the body is health. All other desires are derived from these two.
By looking into our desires we can see that:
Desires are not unlimitedMost of these desires are related to I. Very few are related to Body.The most we can do with money is ensure health for the body
-However, even animals are healthier than humans- Desires are of I are in 2 categories
-Knowledge-Relationships
-
8/9/2019 jeeven-vidya- Life Technology Management
34/80
Observations on wants table2-2.5
We can make the following conclusions based on the desires table:- Desires are not unlimited- Desires for every one of us seem largely similar
- Desires can be understood and sorted out based on natural acceptance and right understanding
If Need of the I is Knowledge and Relationship and need of the body is health, we need to decide wherewe need to put our efforts and how much in each area:
- Need of the body is already satisfied in animals.- It is extremely difficult to find any unhealthy animal unless it has come in contact with
human beings!!Ex: Birds :- have you seen unhealthy birds?Either they are alive or dead.Today - we are putting all our energies into only physical facilities. We are not bothered aboutharmony in the self, in the family and in nature. All we are concerned about is physical facilities.
Basic work that is to be done is understanding the harmony at all levels and being able to fulfill it. Inthis, each of the levels can be understood in further detail.
Basic Issue is confusion in the need of the I and the need of the Body. Major effort is for need of the I.
Understanding the harmony at all 6 levels and living in it will lead to continuous happiness andprosperity.
In order to be continuously happy, to know the entire existence is a must and be in relationship with theentire existence is a must.
Need of the I is Knowledge and Relationship, while need of the Body ishealth
We have confused I with the Body, hence these desires have got mixedUp
Basic need is for clarity in I & Body.
F or this, we have to understand the harmony at all 6 levels of our being

This 3, 4, 5 is collectively called imagination.
This is where we operate f rom in theabsence o f right understanding, and hence there seems to be little basis f or what we do
We are normally acting on thebasis of sensations: We are
enslaved or partantra
We are normally acting on the basisof preconditioning: We are enslaved
or partantra
We have to start operating from the level of our natural acceptance: Then we are self-
organized, self decidedWe largely operate on the basis of Sensations from the Body or Preconditioning ( M anyata )
This is the cause for our contradiction, i.e. our being enslaved or partantra operating solelyat the level of 3 , 4, 5 (Desires, Thought & Selection)
We have to start referring to our natural acceptance-Levels 1 & 2.
-With right understanding at the Level of 1 & 2, self organization becomes possible.This is happiness.

We can see that physical needs are basicallyLimited. F or the first time, there is a possibility for
Us to be prosperous
Human Being is as a co-existence of I & Body
I has to take the responsibility to ensure health in the body
Requirement for nurturing, protection & rightUtilization of the body is limited.
On understanding the human being as co-existence
Of I & body, it is seen that the need of the body islimited: prosperity thus becomes a possibility

Summary: Harmony with the BodyHuman being is coexistence of I & BodyThere is exchange of information between I & BodyI is consciousness, and Body is Material in natureWhen I takes the responsibility for the body by exercising discipline, it is possible totake care of the body.I takes responsibility for Nurturing, Protection and Right Utilization of the BodySuch needs are limited in nature and can easily be fulfilled.
2-3
Need for Physical facilities is limited in quantityHealth = 1. The Body acts according to I
2. There is harmony among the parts of the Body
Prosperity - F eeling of having/being able to have more than required physical facilities.F or Prosperity, two things are required-
1. Identification of the quantity required for physical need &2. Ensuring availability/ production of more than required physical facilities
Today, we are not able to identify how much quantity is required & therefore we continueto be deprived, regardless of any amount of physical facility we have.

Summary of Day 2Human Being is a coexistence of I and Body
I and Body have different Characteristics Need: Happiness, Prosperity Vs Nourishment In Time: Continuous Vs Temporary F ulfilled By: Right Understanding, feelings Vs Physical facilities In Quantity: Not quantifiable Vs Quantifiable These can be understood by Sel f Observation (observation in the sel f )I and Body have different wants/desires and needs
WANTS of I: Wants/Desires are not unlimited We have wants which can be understood. Wants of I are continuous Happiness and a feeling of ProsperityWants of I are knowledge and right feelings which can be fulfilled by having the rightunderstanding at all levels.NEED of Body Need of Body is nurturing, protection and right utilization
When we understand the wants of I and needs of Body properly, for the first time wecan see that there is a possibility for us to feel prosperous. When we feel prosperous, we have a feeling of nourishing the other, not exploiting them.We have accumulated lot of contradictory desires. When we start investigating intoourselves we will find that we have become a bundle of contradictions. This leads toour uncertainty.

There are expectations of I from I
Not of Body from Body
Ask yourself: Do you have these expectations, or does the body?
These expectations can be recognized
These expectations are not indefiniteTheir recognition, fulfillment & evaluation leads to mutual happiness

Harmony in the F amily 3-2
Relationship is already there. It is basically relationship between I and II always wants to be in harmony within itself and in relationship. Otherwise
I feels uncomfortable.Hence, you do not have to create the relationship. You only need to
recognize and fulfill it.Today, we largely recognize relationships based on the Body.
Example: a parent child relationship.Normally, we educate a child and give him all the skills solely with thepurpose of getting him a job which would ensure physical facilities.
But there is dissatisfaction on the childs part since the parents are onlytaking care of the needs of the body and not the I.
Therefore, when the child grows up it only takes care of the Body of theparents largely ignoring the needs of the I as it has experienced in thepast.
The solution therefore is to see things as they are.
Relationships do not have to be created.
They are already there: They only need tobe recognized and fulfilled
Expectations are in I, from I. Hence they need tobe addressed at the level of I.
Providing physical facilities is not a substituteFor relationships.

Intention (Innate need) Competence (Ability to fulfill)
1. Trust (vishwas):Trust means the assurance/understanding that the other wants my happiness and prosperity justas I want the same for them. Ask the following questions of yourself verify on the basis of your natural acceptance and put a tick where you agree:
1a) I want to make myself happy
4a) The other wants to make me happy
2a) I want to make the other happy
3a) The other wants to make himself happy
1b) I make myself happy
4b) The other makes me happy
2b) I make the other happy
3b) The other makes himself happy

What we really want to be What we are
3-2.1
We find that while we look at our intention and the others competence. ( I wanted to do well, but he could not.) w e seldom compare our competence with the others intention ( He wanted to do well, but I could not)I.e. we trust our own intention while we are not ready to trust the others intention.It is the same for the other as well. I.e. While he trusts his own intentions, he does not trust mine. Hence,
mistrust is born and we deny the relationship.We also see that we not able to fulfill our intentions in terms of our competence at all times. It is the same
for the other as well.We want to be related to the other, and we want the other to be related to us irrespective of who this other
is.If we have trust in the other, we are able to see the other as a relative and not as an adversary. We then
become ready to become a help to the other
I.e. Intention is always correct, it is only the competence that is lacking which can be improved by rightunderstanding
Trust is the basic to any relationship.Trust means having assurance on the intention
Of the other, at all times.
We normally see our own intention and compareThis with the others competence. This leads to a
Feeling that we are right and the other is wrong

Discussion on Trust 3-2
Take any example where you have trust in relationship Do you think this is because there was assurance, or lack of assurance?
Take any example where you think it is hard to trust.What is the reason?
Does the person really intend to do harm to us?We will find on observing this closely that it is not that the person really wants
to harm us. He too wants the same thing as we do. He too wants happinessand prosperity. He too wants to have the right understandinghe too wants
trust in relationship, wants to fulfill it like ourselves.When we doubt the intentions of the other person we find that we are notcomfortable.
F ind out for yourself: The moment you have ill feelings towards someone, there isa contradiction in us and it makes us unhappy. We are comfortable only when wehave a feeling of fulfilling the other.
Thus, whenever we go ahead and wish ill for someone or even do it, webecome cause for our own unhappiness.We can decide for ourselves whether we want to be happy or unhappy.
On paying attention, we can easily see that the other is like us and we want hisrelationship just as he wants ours. Relationships are.
Living with mistrust becomes cause for our Own unhappiness it is the same for the
Other as well.
This is due to a lack of understanding relationshipBy understanding human relationship, we
Become assured about the intention of the other
- We can thus not get hurt by the other areAlways an aid to the other

Harmony in the F amily: Trust 3-2.1
Is there a provision in nature for both you and the other person tobe fulfilled?In existence/nature, what is right is acceptable to both o f us . What is
not right is not acceptance to any o f usOur problem is that we are not seeing things as they are, we have
wrongly assumed existence/realityWhen we deny the other, we create problems for ourselves. When we
see at the level of natural acceptance that the other wants the samething that I do, then we feel assured within ourselvesAre the problems in family from doubt on intention or competence?Competence should flow from intention. Today we are unaware of
intentions, hence there is a confusionWe are not supplying knowledge not inculcating anything in this
workshop! These answers are coming from yourself!
Every human wants to live with trust
The problems in family are largely due to a doubtOn intention.

2. RespectRespects means right evaluation or correct evaluation.
Today, we usually respect based on body, status, age,F or example: One should respect elders. And whatshould we do with those that are younger? = Weshould respect them as well!
Right evaluation means evaluating on the basis of I. Being able to see that theother I is like me and respecting it for the same. I.e. the other I is same as me interms of:
Need continuous happiness we both have a need for continuoushappinessProgram for both of us is the same To understand and live in harmony
the harmony at all levels of human existencePotential: Activities in I are the same we both have the same activities in IAt the level of Understanding, (not information) : If the others level of
understanding:Is less than me I behave with responsibility and I accept the
responsibility for improving the understanding of the other Is more than me I am ready to understand from the other
3-2.2
Respect means right evaluation of the other.Evaluation on the basis of I in terms of:
Need: Happiness & ProsperityProgram: Right understanding at all 6 levelsPotential: Activities in I are the same
This becomes the basis for respect.

2. Respect Right Evaluation3-2.2
Right evaluation means not doing the below: Over Valuation Under Valuation Over Valuation
Under-valuationMeans evaluating something for less than what it actually isEx: A father telling his son You are good for nothing!!!!
This is not possible! The son would be good for something! Saying something like this means the child would have low self
esteem and end up comparing himself with othersExample from work: If someone made some comment on us during the
appraisal that makes us feel we are being under evaluatedHaving a feeling of inferiority for the other essentially means we aredisrespecting the other
Exercise:
Take an example where you have under-valuated someone.
Discuss whether the person feels comfortable or uncomfortable in this state

2. Respect Right Evaluation3 2.2
Over-valuation Means evaluating something for more than what it actually is
The same father telling about his son: My son isgreat! He can do anything!
This means the son is now capable of doing anything! This causes the son to became self focused and he
starts distancing himself from others and comparing himself with those around him thus denying therelationship inherent between them.
Exercise:
Take an example where you have over-valuated someone.
Discuss whether the person feels comfortable or uncomfortable in this state

Other-wise valuation I.e evaluating it for something other than
what it is. Ex: The same father now says, you are such
a donkey! Surely, the son is not a donkey!

Respect Basis for differentiation today3 2.2
Differentiation based on one or all of these leads to feelings of disrespect, leading toresentments & protests.If we try to respect people on the basis of the above, we are actually disrespectingthem.With every human being, especially for a child, be alert of every word, every gesture,you are using. Minutely observe what you have done or said to the other, does itensure the respect and trust for him?One needs to be aware whether evaluation is on the basis of the body or I.

Exercise:
1. Take examples of differentiation based on each of the above and discuss them
2. F ind out how often you do them yourself
C urrently, there are numerous bases on which we disrespect the other.
In f act, today, we even take this di ff erentiation based on these parameters to be respect: whereas, Deep within, the other f eels violated

Scenario: Trust & Respect3 .
Scenario : You have been assigned some task to complete at work by your lead.
You do what you think is right and go back to him. He takes a look atwhat you have done and comments Oh! You dont seem to be able todo such a simple thing!!! You feel hurt and stung. What do you thinkhappened? Check this scenario with what was explained above and seeif you are able to work out the root cause of the problem.
Analyze it Trace back where the problem arose. Was it something you said or the other person said? Did you feel hurt with what the person said, or when you started
thinking that the other wants to hurt you? (I.e. if you think so, you aredoubting the intention)
At the level of Intention, do you think the person really wants to hurtyou? Or is it that they lack the competence? So its an issue with thecompetence, not the intention. The other does not want to hurt me, butis unable to carry out their intentions
Are you able to see that you and the other person are the same at thelevel of intention ???
I f we start looking into our relationships, we will f ind that the other is alsoLike me. They have the same intentions as I, but lack o f the competence.
I.e. we both have to work to improve our competence, we both have toW ork f or the right understanding

Trust & RespectIt is not possible to be hurt if you have a basic trust in the
intentionCheck if you want to be related to the other or not at thelevel of your natural acceptanceCheck whether you are evaluating the other on the basisof Body or on the basis of IAre you able to see that the reasons for happiness or unhappiness in you is the same as that in the other person? I.e. Sensitivity means being able to see thatthe same things that are cause for my unhappiness andhappiness are also cause for the unhappiness andhappiness in the other.I.e. I am/should be able to see that I have to work on myunderstanding and so does the other ie the other alsohas to work on theirs.
The basic reason for this lack in trust on intention is that thedesires, thoughts selections in us ( 3 , 4, 5) are not in alignment with our
Natural Acceptance (Realization & Understanding 1 & 2).
I.e. Both me and the other have this need for right understanding at the level of our natural acceptance and we both have an acceptance for the relationship but
are unable to fulfill it.
I.e. we both have to work on the right understanding at all 6 levels.

Usually, we are in this state
We operate based on assumptions, without right
understanding
Assumptions / Lack of
Understanding
We are dependent on the environment for our state of being, as a result, we get affected
Dependency on
Environment
Uncertainty
As long as our state of being is dependent on theenvironment, our own internal state is uncertain
Unhappiness
This uncertainty causes unhappiness. We getaffected by the external things, and become inopposition with the other.
Response
This is the state we want to be in
We operate based on right understanding
RightUnderstanding of
Existence
Our desires, thoughts and selections have beendecided by ourselves, we have concern andrespond to the environment, but do not getadversely affected by it
Self Decided
Certainty
Since our state has been decided by ourselves,we are certain in what we want, how we are andwhat we do
Mutual Fulfillment / Happiness
Certainty gives rise to happiness. We respond tothe environment and are able to become a aid tothe other. This leads to mutual fulfillment
Ask yourself. Do you want to be as shown in the left, or in the right?
What are you doing today to ensure that you are like that?
Take an example from the workplace and discuss how you would be if you behaved as in the left Vs as in the right
We want to be in Response modeThis requires that we have the right

Human Society (E) should match Human Goals (C). Today, we find that this is not the case.This is because we have no clear understanding of Human Needs or Goals.
Human Needs and Goals follow from Human Understanding.Hence, we need to focus on A Human Understanding.Once A is ensured, Human needs will be rightly identified, which will lead to identification of HumanGoals, and to fulfill this, we have human endeavor.The outcome of this right endeavor would then lead to the desired society.We can see that today we are focusing on (D) while we need to be focusing on (A)I.e. Education should address the understanding part (A) and this gives the answers to the questionsWhy to Do?, and What to Do? whereas today we are focusing on How to do? which is really onlyinformation and skills, which is insufficient.Thus, the plan of action would be to ensure that education consists of establishing this rightunderstanding.

ensuring Right Understanding and identification of wants on the basis of this right understanding.We are not satisfied with anything short of theabove. This is our basic need, the human goal: thisis what we have to work for.
Today we are only focusingOn physical facilities. Even
then, we are not able toensure prosperity!!

5 Dimensions in human society :To ensure the above, what type of societal system would we need?
1. Education Right Values (Shiksha-Sanskar ) Ensuring the right understanding in society enabling everyone to see the reality, not teaching
or memorizing
2. Health Discipline (Swasthya-Sanyam ) Ensuring health and restraint for taking care of the body
3 . Production Work (Utpadan-Karya ) Activities needed for physical facilities, transport, communication, etc
4. Exchange Storage (V inimay Kosh ) Storing of what was produced and its exchange (currently called economics)

Harmony in nature
We see that except the human, the remaining orders are able to fulfill their relationship.Ex: Soil and plans are in harmony. Plants and animals are in harmony. Soil and animals are
in harmony.If we take the human being, we see that they have disharmony within. They are pollutingthe soil, finishing off the plant and animals species and creating major imbalances onearth.The earth is on a brink of an ecological disaster.If we are able to understand the harmony in nature, then we shall have the rightunderstanding and be able to peacefully co-exist with the remaining orders.Q uestion: Ask yourself: Do you want to live in harmony with the remaining 3 orders, or doyou want to exploit them and destroy them?

Harmony in nature
Major source of the problem is:We confuse the wants of the I with needs of the body.Hence, to fulfill continuous needs of I, we try to keep accumulating and consuming physical facilities
But this does not work, and destroys nature due to over consumption and wrong methods of productionIf we are able to correctly identify the needs of I (Right Understanding and feelings) and Body (Health),
then we shall be able to live in harmony.Another issue is that we are not able to see the harmony inherent in nature. We
keep thinking nature is in conflict, in contradiction, and hence end up exploiting nature in turn
Take away : Humans are notable to understand theharmony in nature thereforeright understanding isrequired in humans tounderstand this harmony andlive according to it.
Discussion: Are theproblems with pollution andresource depletion due tomans activities or due toinherent flaws in nature?

Sum Up
1. It is a process of dialogue between what you are and what you really want to be There is a contradiction between what you are and what you want to be This is the cause of our unhappiness We are all different in what we are (preconditioned) but are same in what we want to be
(this is intact, invariant)2. It is a process of self exploration and self evolution
We have to explore into ourselves in order to evolve3 . It is a process of knowing oneself and through that, knowing the other things around us
In this exploration, we know ourselves and the entire existence4. By knowing oneself, we are able to know things around us.
This ensures that we have the right understanding of things around us, and that it is notcolored by our preconditioning.
5. It is a process of recognizing our relationship with family, society, and with the rest of nature
We have currently assumed some relationship for this, which can be false We have a need to be related at all these levels, and these relationships exist they do not
have to be created We only have to understand the harmony to be in it
6. It is a process of knowing our own nature, human conduct and human character
Today, we have an uncertain and indefinite character We all want to have a definite character
7. It is a process of self organization & its expression in living We all want to be self organized.

Human Being is a Coexistence of I & Body I and Body have different characteristics, functions and needs. Needs of I are happiness and feeling of prosperity, while Body needs health Needs of I can be fulfilled by right understanding (knowledge) and feelings while
needs of Body can be fulfilled by physical facilities.We have contradictory desires in I which need to be verified on the basis of our natural acceptance.
Most of these desires are from our preconditioningWe have to start observing ourselves, our desires and the activities andneeds of I and Body.
Harmony with Body:When I have the right understanding, I take the responsibility for the healthof the body

Sum UpHarmony in human relationships (Other I: Family)
Relationship is, it does not have to be createdThere are expectations in relationships which can be recognized and fulfilledTrust is basic to human relationship. We can trust and have trust only when weare able to see that at the level of intention we are all the same.Respect means right evaluation.There are 9 values in human relationships which can be recognized and fulfilledleading to mutual fulfillment
Harmony in SocietyThe problem in society today is due to inability to decide human needs andgoals.Hence, right understanding is required to ensure the same
Harmony in NatureNature is already in harmony, in co-existence Each unit recognizes its relationship with other units and fulfills it. All the other 3 orders: Physical, Plant and Animal order fulfill each other and are in
harmonyOnly the human is unable to do this. This is because we have confused the needs of the I and Body and have wrongly
assumed Nature to be in chaosHence, the human being needs right understanding in the form of education.

Rajuls MessageThis was an introductory 3 day orientation, which we have included as part of the
ELTP. The actual workshop is for 7 days and conducted outside the Satyam campus.The 7 day workshop is not part of the Satyam ELTP and you would need to take timeoff on your own to be able to attend it.You can contact your facilitator to get details on how to attend the detailed 7 daycourseThe 7 day course would have details of each of the levels of our being and havemore detailed discussions on our goals and purpose in lifeWhat you have been through since the last 3 days is a powerful way for self
exploration and have answers to some of the most important questions in our life onour own rightAs you have seen, it covers multiple aspects of our living and also touches uponsome of the important, softer side of things we often ignore.The effectiveness of this course would depend on how seriously we start payingattention to ourselves, and start this process of self verification based on our naturalacceptanceThere would be a whole lot of preconditioning we have which would need to be
relooked at. Only you can do the job of understanding and improving yourself, no oneelse can do it for you.You now have a powerful way by which you can now be clearer about your own self,your goals, your success and your relationships, allowing you to discover your fullestpotential.
