Process of Self-Exploration: The following points are to be kept in mind regarding the process of Self-Exploration: Whatever is stated is a proposal Dont start by assuming it to be true or false Verify it on your own right Dont just accept or reject it on the basis of scriptures, instruments or on the basis of others. The following two steps are involved in the process of Self- Exploration: - Firstly, verify the proposal on the basis of your natural acceptance - Secondly, live according to the proposal to validate it experientially. Basic Human Aspiration Happiness Prosperity Its continuity Happiness may be defined as being in harmony/ synergy in the states/ situations that we live in. Happiness is being in a state of liking. Unhappiness is a lack of this synergy or harmony. To be in a state of disliking is unhappiness. Prosperity: It is the feeling of having more physical facilities than required. Prosperity creates a desire to share what one possesses. However, since the need for physical facilities is limitless, the feeling of prosperity cannot be assured.

He is a co- existence of both the Self(I/ Jivana) and the Body. There is an exchange of information between the two. Our body acts according to the suggestions given by our Jivana. All the human feelings of happiness, sorrow, pain, excitement etc. are all experienced by I and not the Body. Having Physical Facilities ensures the fulfillment of the needs of the body, but it does not fulfill the needs of the I. Hence, for every human being, we need to fulfill the needs of both: Of I = Happiness (Sukha) Of Body = Physical Facilities (Suvidha) One of these cannot replace the other. Fulfillment of the needs of the self and the body. Need for the food is fulfilled by rice, veg, etc Need for respect is fulfilled by the way your friend listen to you, appreciate you etc. Human Self Body Need Happiness (Respect) Physical Facility (Food) Fulfilled by Right Understanding and Right Feeling Physio-Chemical Things

But it is a wrong notion. Even small steps towards right understanding are very soothing, mutually fulfilling and confidence giving. The more we explore within ourselves, the more we develop the understanding and realization for the need of the holistic alternatives. To ensure continuous happiness and prosperity in the human order, the transition to human consciousness is required. To bring about this transition towards the holistic alternative, it is necessary to create mass awareness and facilitate wide spread humanistic education. Also, extensive research has to be done to evolve and implement holistic technologies and systems. It is also necessary to make appropriate amendments in the policies, programs and social systems to facilitate the transition. FACULTY INCHARGE HOD
