Q1. 'The family is the basic unit of human interaction. Do you agree with the statement?'Explain.
Ans: Def: The family is the basic unit or building block of human organization.
It is a practice ground for living in relationship and harmony (order).
Every human being is born in a family and is part of a family, in which there are parents,
grandparents, children, youth, uncles and aunts, cousins, so many relatives and friends.
It is the family where we are nurtured and developed from childhood, cared for in sickness and in
old age.
It is where we start learning to interact with other human beings, to share and to care.
It is the place where we start becoming aware of relationship.
The moment we hear the word mother, there is a whole lot of feeling.
Similarly, every relationship name has an associated feeling which becomes more and more
enriched as we interact.
Our basic grooming for living in relationship starts in the family.
The first few years, what we call the formative years, are spent in the family.
It is where we pick up a very significant part of our Sanskar in living with our family elders and
siblings, neighbours and friends.
It also provides us the platform to verify our understanding.

Q2. Describe the four important aspects of relationship.
Ans: The Feeling of Relationship is the Basis for Harmony in the Family. The harmony in the family has
primarily to do with the fulfilment of relationship between one human being and the other human
being.
In order to fulfil relationship, it is necessary to understand relationship. So, there are four important
aspects to understand the relationship. They are
1. Relationship is between one Self (I1) and another Self (I2)
2. There are feelings in relationship in one Self (I1) for the other Self(I2)
3. These feelings can be recognized they are definite
4. The fulfilment of these feelings and their right evaluation lead to mutual happiness
1. Relationship is between one Self (I1) and another Self (I2):
2. Relationship is already there. We do not have to construct or create relationship. All we need to do is
to understand relationship and fulfil it. Relationship is between one Self and the other Self. It is the
Self which is recognizing the relationship, and not the Body. It is the Self which relates to the other,
and not the Body.
2. There are feelings in relationship in one Self (I1) for the other Self (I2):
The important issue in human relationship is that of the feelings. We can see that feelings are in the
Self, not in the Body. It is the Self which has the feelings and which recognizes the feelings. To
understand relationship, one has to understand the Self and the naturally acceptable feelings in the
Self.
3. These feelings can be recognized they are definite:
These feelings can be recognized, they are definite. There are nine feelings in relationship. These are
the feelings which we can understand, which we can ensure within ourselves, which we can share
with others and thus ensure mutual fulfilment in relationship. These are the feelings which are
naturally acceptable to us in the relationship with the other human being.
Feelings (values) in relationship:
(a) Trust (foundation value)
(b) Respect
(c) Affection
(d) Care
(e) Guidance
(f) Reverence
(g) Glory
(h) Gratitude
(i) Love (complete value)
4. Fulfilment of feelings in relationship and their evaluation leads to mutual happiness:
When we have these naturally acceptable feelings in the Self, we share them with the other and when
we are both able to evaluate the feelings rightly, it leads to mutual happiness, i.e. the happiness of
oneself as well as the happiness of the other.

Q3. What is meaning of justice in human relationships? How does it follow from family to world
family?
3. or
What is justice? What are its four elements? Is it a continuous or a temporary need?
or
What is justice? How does it lead to mutual happiness?
Ans:
Justice is the recognition, fulfilment, and evaluation of human- human relationship,
leading to mutual happiness.
To expand it a bit:
Recognition of relationship means recognizing the naturally acceptable feelings in relationship rightly.
Fulfilment of relationship means
Ensuring the naturally acceptable feelings in oneself.
Living with responsibility with the other with these feelings, forming the basis of relationship. This
makes the other comfortable and assured.
Making effort for mutual development, i.e. development of ones own competence and being of help
to the other in developing their competence.
Evaluation means verifying that I have the right feeling, I am able to express it properly, the right feeling
has reached to the other and the other is able to identify it as the right feeling.
When the recognition, fulfilment and evaluation are right from my side, I feel happy. When
the other is able to evaluate the expression of my feeling rightly, then (s)he also feels happy.
Developing this competence may take time.
Justice is desirable in the family and beyond the family, all the way to the world family.

Name the values which are called as foundation value and complete value. Define both these

List down the foundation value and the complete value in human relationship. Explain each with one
example.
Ans:
There are certain basic and important values in maintaining relationship. There are nine feelings in
relationship.
These values are the backbone of health and happy family relations.
The feelings, emotions, sentiments, and respect all are of real importance.
These values lead to elimination of friction and establishment of total harmony in relationship
on long term basis.
These are the feelings which are naturally acceptable to us in the relationship with the other
human being.
Nine Feelings (values) in relationship are:
1. Trust(牋牋牘牋 牋牋): Trust is To be assured that each human being inherently wants oneself and
the other to be happy and prosperous.
Trust or vishwas is the foundational value in relationship. If we have trust in the other, we
are able to see the other as a relative and not as an adversary.
2. Respect(牋牘牋萎圧牋): Respect is right evaluation.
Respect means individuality. The sense of individuality is prime object. This is the first basic step
towards respect (samman). Once we realized that we are individual then only we can see our self
different from others. In other words, respect means right evaluation, to be evaluated as I am.
3. Affection(牋牋牘牋牋 牋牋): Affection is the feeling of being related to the other.
Affection is the feeling of acceptance for the other as ones relative. Lack of affection is seen in the
form of opposition, jealousy, etc. The feelings of trust and respect are essential to have the feeling of
affection. When we have the feelings of trust, we feel related to the other; otherwise we may feel
opposed to the other.
4. Care(牋伍牋萎牘牋劇娃): Care is the feeling of responsibility and commitment for nurturing and
protection of the Body of my relative.
With the feeling of affection, one naturally takes the responsibility for development of the relative
both at the level of Self as well as at the level of Body. Being responsible to the Body of ones
relative is Care.
5. Guidance(牋牋鉦旭牋牋牋萎斡 牋牋む圧 牋): Guidance is the feeling of responsibility and commitment for
development of Self by ensuring the right understanding and right
feeling in the Self of my relative.
Being responsible to the Self of my relative is Guidance. Generally, our focus is mostly on care
because we have come to assume that human being is Body. We are not even aware of the Self.
Therefore, we are not aware that we have to take care of the Self as well.
6. Reverence (牋牘牋萎圧牋): Reverence is the feeling of acceptance for excellence.
When we see that the other has achieved this excellence- which means to understand and to live in
harmony at all the levels of living ensuring continuity of happiness, we have a feeling of reverence
for him/her.
7. Glory(牋牘牋萎牋む或): Glory is the feeling of acceptance for those who have made effort for excellence.
For all those people whom we call great people, when we accept the effort made for excellence by
them, to whatever extent they are able to achieve it, we naturally have a feeling of glory for them.
8. Gratitude(牋牘牋む牘牋牋): Gratitude is the feeling of acceptance for those who have made the effort
for my excellence.
5. In our life, there may be so many people who have been of help to us in the process of understanding
harmony and living in harmony. So, we have this feeling of gratitude for them. Gratitude is a
significant feeling in the development of relationship.
9. Love(牋牘牋萎牋牘): Love is the feeling of being related to all.
Love is expressed in the form of compassion. The feeling of love is for all and it is expressed to
whosoever comes in contact. Love is the emotion of strong affection and personal attachment. In
other words, love is a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or
friend. This feeling or value is also called the complete value since this is the feeling of relatedness
to all human beings. It starts with identifying that one is related to the other human being (the feeling
of affection) and it slowly expands to the feeling of being related to all human beings.
The above mentioned values are the core of all relations. One has to follow all to gain on the day to
day problems. These values are intrinsic and available in every person. We need to find out in
ourselves and implement. Without implementation, one cannot think of a strong family relation.
