Lect 01 Role of Education in Holistic Devlopment

0:06 welcome everybody what we intend to discuss in this session is this role of Education in holistic development so essentially through this we want to convey the core content of this Workshop or this course and also about the process of this Workshop this you know course so effectively we are going to talk about four things number one about the holistic development number two about the role of Education in holistic development and through these two we want to convey about the content of the workshop or the course and also about the process of the workshop or the

0:51 course so these are the four things that we will talk about through this presentation on role of Education in holistic development regarding the process whatever is said is proposed is a proposal you don't have to assume it to be true or false but you have to verify it verify it on your own right and one of the simplest way to verify is to just ask your own natural acceptance if it is naturally acceptable to you it is right for you if it is not naturally acceptable to you it is not right for you so as simple as that and every one of us has this capacity to verify for example if I ask you what is

1:38 naturally acceptable to you to be in relationship or to be in opposition Rel Rel to be in relationship so this is something which each one of us can verify right in relationship ask you what is naturally acceptable to you the feeling of respect or disrespect respect right so like that every one of us can verify these proposals on our own right and the simplest way to verify is to ask your natural acceptance is it naturally acceptable to me if it is naturally acceptable to you it is right for you if it is not naturally acceptable to you it is not right for you so this is one important Point regarding the process of the workshop the second important point is

2:24 that it is a process of dialogue and not a monologue right so it is process of dialogue and this dialogue will begin between me and you right but as we go on it will become a dialogue within your own self right so to begin with it is a dialogue between me and you right but soon it will become a dialogue within your own self and if you look at this dialogue within your own self okay it will be a dialogue between what is your natural acceptance and what you are right so that dialogue will start so when you understand when you can see that what is naturally acceptable to you is to be in

3:09 relationship then you will start asking this question to yourself whether you are thinking of relationship all the time or sometime you're thinking of relationship sometime you're thinking of opposition so that kind of dialogue will start within your own self and if you look at the workshop the main purpose of the workshop is not just to deliver the content right but to initiate this process of dialogue within your own self so this is the second part of the process so let's take up some of the proposals the first is about the role of education so what is the role of Education The Proposal regarding this is that the role of education is to facilitate the development of the

3:56 competence to live with definite human conduct so this is the role of Education right what do you think does it make sense that the role of education is to facilitate this comp know development of this competence to live with definite human conduct so let's look at some more details you know then we can be able to probably respond to this better if you look at yourself out of the three types of fear which is predominant for you fear of natural calamities fear of

4:41 wild animals fear of inhuman behavior of human beings third one right we have more or less overcome this you know the fear of natural calamities and the fear of wild animals right so outside it may be raining or it may be a storm but inside we can you know sit coly and do the recording right because that natural Calamity the fear of natural Calamity has been you know taken care of and similarly about the wild animals today if you see the wild animals have fear from us okay not the otherwise but when it comes to inhuman behavior of human being what do you think is it on the increase or

5:28 decrease so it is on the increase and if you look at the literacy what we call education today is more or less literacy and if you look at the literacy is it increasing decreasing so the literacy is increasing the inhuman behavior of human being is increasing right so what do we conclude so the conclusion would be that we are not able to provide the right kind of education which can ensure this human behavior on the part of human being right so you can see this litera on the

6:15 increase from 12% it has become 74% right 47 to 2011 but if you look at this inhuman Behavior right this seems to be on the increase right and the Supreme Court has to make a statement like this so now if you look at this right if you look around as every unit in nature exhibits a definite conduct except human being can we see that a NE tree has a definite conduct a cow has a definite conduct right but what about human

7:04 being does it exhibit a definite conduct no so how do we go about ensuring this definite conduct in human being so if you look at a you know how do we go about ensuring conduct you know definite conduct as far as the trees and the plants are concerned the conduct is based on the seat so as long as we can ensure the right kind of seed the conduct of the tree will be definite when you look at the cow the animals the conduct is based on their breed so as long as you maintain the breed the conduct can be ensured but what about human being so if you look at human being the conduct of human being is based on their

7:50 education in sanska so depending upon what kind of education and sscar we are giving right the human being will exhibit that kind of condu if you are giving a human education right it will exhibit a human conduct if you are giving inhuman education it will exhibit inhuman conduct and that is what is happening this inhuman behavior is increase is on the increase despite the increase on literacy right so what does it indicate are we giving human education inhuman education good so we are back here the role of

8:36 education and sansar is to facilitate the development of competence to live with definite human conduct so does it make sense is not just literacy literacy yeah so education is not just literacy but then what it is is what we have to now work out right so if education is not just literacy right then we have to work out what this human education sanskar would look like right and are we giving that education in sanskar so that is what we want to explore next so let's look at

9:22 this who is expected to provide such education in s so three parties the parents the teachers and the society as a whole right so if you look at the child it is the teacher who is largely responsible when the child goes to the school the teacher is responsible and ultimately the whole society is responsible the society the environment of the society is responsible right then next question is is there a need for such education in sansar yes no yes are we able to ensure

10:09 it no so now we want to explore that if you want to provide such education and suncar what would be the basic requirement so let's explore into that that if we want to ensure education and sansar which can develop the competence to live with with definite human conduct then what are the basic requirements so let's look at that so the first question is is human relationship important yes good yes so let's look at this what do we all want we can examine this within ourselves so let's look at this about

10:54 our desire do we want to be happy yes no yes yes do we want to be Pro prosperous yes yes do we want the continuity of happiness and prosperity yes yes so there is a very affirmative yes is there anybody who does not want these three things happiness prosperity and its continuity no good so this is about what we desire but if we look at our state of being if we look at our you know where we are then let ask these three questions are we happy are we prosperous is there continuity of our happiness and

11:42 prosperity so there is not any affirmative yes right so as far as desire is concerned there is a very much affertive affirmative yes but when it comes to uh the state of being right then it is not all that affirmative right so if you look at these two things right if you look at the desire part if you look at your state of being you are not very affirmative so there is so much of difference between the two so if you look at the difference between the two and try to find out what is the basic reason right then let's look at that

12:30 so not only that we are not ensuring happiness and prosperity and its continuity the basic issue is is our effort for continuity of happiness and prosperity or just for accumulation of physical facility right we want happiness and prosperity but what we are busy doing is accumulation of physical facility or most of the time and effort is spent on this right so let's look at that let us ask this question have you assumed that happiness and prosperity will be ensured when you have enough physical facility what is

13:21 it and does it happen don't yes so if you have enough physical facility does it ensure happiness and prosperity no or what rajul is saying that we don't even check that we go on accumulating more and more physical facility and if I have not assumed this then what effort are we making for continuity of happiness and prosperity other than accumulation of physical facility yes you are saying something I'm say somehow background we are just assuming that this will fulfill yes Rel so we go on assuming

14:06 that if there is enough physical facility we'll have happiness prosperity and its continuity but does it happen no and do we know that if this is not happening what else we have to do more than accumulation of physical facility so let us try to find out what more is required other than physical facility so let us ask this question the unhappiness in your family is more due to lack of physical facility or more due to lack of fulfillment in relationship more due to lack of fulfillment in

14:53 relationship but if you look at your investment how much time and effort are you investing for physical facility and for fulfillment in relationship what will the percentage for physical facility so how much time and effort are you investing for physical facility right major part of the time right so major part of time and effort is spent on physical facility as compared to relationship but the problem is more due

15:40 to lack of fulfillment in relationship so now what do you think is it a right investment if the problems are more due to lack of fulfillment in relationship right and if we are investing major part of our time and effort for physical facility is it a right kind of investment not balanced not matching right not balanced not balanced so we are very careful about investing money right and other material resources but when it comes to investing ourselves our time and effort we are not very aware of it right so if you look at this what it says is that this unhappiness in our family is more due to

16:28 lack of fulfillment in relationship but major part of time the most of time and effort is spent on physical facility can we see this so what conclusion that we want to draw out of this is a very simple one right the conclusion is this that for human being physical facility is necessary but relationship is also necessary does it make sense anybody thinks that this is not the case that both physical facility and relationship is important for human

17:13 being both both are important right so now we can see that as far as human being is concerned physical facility is a necessity but relationship also a necessity and if if you can see this it makes all the difference right in fact by seeing this by understanding this we can understand the difference between the animals and human being so if you look at human being look at this you know on examining carefully we find that this is a fundamental difference between animals and human being right the physical facility is necessary for animals and necessary for human beings also right

17:59 So Physical facility is necessary for Animals necessary for human being also but when it comes to relationship right you can see that for Animals physical facility is necessary as well as adequate which means with physical facility alone the animals can be satisfied but when it comes to human being that is not the case for us physical facility is a necessity but physical facility alone is not adequate for the Fulfillment of human being so human being cannot be satisfied with physical facility

18:46 alone right so if you to like take an example when an animal has lack of physical facility it becomes uncomfortable when the physical when it has the physical facility it becomes comfortable for example when a cow gets a stomach full of grass it becomes comfortable sits and chews the cut have you seen an cow yeah sitting and chewing the cut so with this enough grass to fill the stomach the cow is comfortable but what about human being if you look at human being right if human being has lack of physical facility he becomes uncomfortable and

19:32 unhappy once he gets the physical facility he forgets about it and he starts thinking about 100 other things does it happen with you so if you take an example do you feel happy every day that you are getting enough to eat if you don't get enough to eat you will be uncomfortable unhappy if you start getting enough to eat you forget about it right and you start thinking of other things right so I keep asking in every Workshop you know how many of you know how many pairs of clothes you have right how many of you know how many

20:21 pairs of clothes you have and the response is not more than 10% of the people even know how many pairs of clothes they have which means if you do not have clothes you'll be unhappy and uncomfortable but when you have clothes you forget about it you don't even know how many pairs of clothes you have right so when it comes to human being the physical facility the lack of physical facility will make him uncomfortable unhappy but avability of physical facility will not ensure this happiness and prosperity so something more is required and if you look at what is more that is required one of them is relationship fulfillment

21:08 in relationship that is what we have just you know talked about that if you look at the human being right physical facility is of course required but relationship is also required so what we are saying that for Animals physical facility is necessary and adequate for human beings physical facility necessary but not adequate that is with physical facility alone human being cannot be satisfied so physical facility is required but relationship is also required can we see this does it make sense yes so one thing that is required more than physical facility is

21:53 fulfillment in relationship so let's go further and see what more is required other than physical fac right what does the human being think those 100 things you know that we keep thinking other than physical facility if you look at those 100 things they come under these two categories that is we think of feeling in relationship with other human being and also we think of right understanding the knowledge in the self do you think about these two things the relationship ship with other human being and knowledge right understanding in the self so other than physical speciality

22:40 these two things are required so think over it we'll come back to this so now if you look at relationship right so if you look at the aspiration of human being right we'll find that they all want to live in relationship with others with all and feel happy living in relationship therefore relationship is necessary for human being so this is what we all desire right and this you can check for yourself right examine within yourself if you want to live in relationship with others or you want to live in opposition with others or you believe that living has to be necessarily in opposition with others that is the there is struggle for

23:26 survival and survival of the fittest and check if you feel happy living this way what will be naturally acceptable to you out of these three one two and three one one right and what we are teaching today in the schools and colleges third third right so this is something which is naturally acceptable but this is what we are trying to teach to the children right so good the conclusion is very simple again for human being both physical facility and relationship are

24:14 necessary so if we can see this we can also see that both these physical facility and relationship is important and we all want to ensure this relationship ship so on further examination we find that we all do want to live in relationship with others this is there right this desire to live in relationship is always there however what is happening is this so we do want to relieve in relationship but every night when there is a fight we want to resolve it we start the next day with the thought that we don't want to fight today but due to lack of right understanding about fulfillment and

25:00 relationship a fight place by night does this happen with your husband with your wife with your children with your friends with your you know co-workers does this happen that you want to be you know be in relationship you want to ensure fulfillment in relationship but what ends up happening is that you end up fighting right so if you look at this we can also conclude that fulfillment in relationship right for ensuring this fulfillment in relationship it is necessary to have right understanding about relationship that is right

25:47 understanding is also necessary for human beings can we see this so essentially what we are saying that if you look at the human being these are the three things which are required the right understanding in the self is required fulfillment in relationship with human being is required and physical facility with rest of nature is required so now we can look back and see whether all three of them are required or you can do away with any one of them right all three are required anything is

26:38 Superfluous today are we taking care of all three of them or we are largely focusing on physical facility assumtion that physical facility is going to be the answer that is there so you can see that we need all three of them but the major focus is on physical facility and this believe that physical facility can take care of other things is it correct can we take care of relationship through physical facility can we take care of right understanding through physical

27:24 facility so I keep taking this example that if you are sitting in an air room right but if there is a person with whom you have a feeling of opposition will you feel comfortable uncomfortable uncomfortable uncomfortable right your relationship will improve sitting in air conditioned room no no right so temperature you can maintain at 18° 16° right but that will not ensure the Improvement of your relationship right the second case is that the other person has moved out you are sitting alone but you have contradiction in your thought because you have lack of right understanding right will you feel

28:11 comfortable within or uncomfortable within uncomfortable within right irre of what is the temperature of the air condition so we can see that physical facility cannot ensure fulfillment in relationship it can be a help help but it cannot ensure it cannot guarantee and similarly the physical facility cannot gu guarantee right understanding in the self the knowledge in the self right so all of them have to be fulfilled separately the right understanding in the self has to be ensured fulfillment in relationship with other human being has to be ensured and also the physical facility with rest of nature is also to be ensured so basically all three of them have to be ensured can we see this

29:00 all three the right understanding in the self is required the Fulfillment in relationship with human being is required and physical facility with rest of nature is required yes can we see this yes good now the next question is that if all three of them are required what is going to to be the priority what is going to be the priority can we get back to the

29:50 slide yeah so if all three are required the right understanding in this self is the first priority right relationship with other human being is the second priority and physical facility with rest of nature is the third priority all of them are required right all three of them are required but if you look at the priority right understanding in the self is the first priority because without right understanding we cannot ensure fulfillment in relationship right similarly without right understanding we do not even know how much physical facility is required therefore IR regard of how much we accumulate okay we continue to feel

30:36 deprived so both for ensuring fulfillment in relationship and ensuring Prosperity through physical facility we need to have right understanding so therefore right understanding is the first priority right so that is one thing then we have just discussed that if if you look at your family right the problems are more due to lack of fulfillment in relationship right so relationship is more important than physical facility so if you look at this overall priority that the right understanding has the first priority the Fulfillment in relationship with human being is the second priority and ensuring physical

31:22 facility with rest of nature is the third priority but of course all three of them are required all all three of them have to be ensured so this is interesting that out of these three okay we are not taking care of the first priority we are not taking care of the second priority the major focus is on the third priority can we see this can we see that our major focus is not on this not on this right so major focus is not on this not on

32:08 this but the major focus is on the physical facility right and now we can see that if we are not focusing on other two things and we are only trying to work with physical facility where we end up right similarly if we take care of all three of them right what is the result what is the outcome so that is what we would like to investigate you one thing that I want to mention here is that regarding this priority right we will keep it open whether this is the right priority or maybe you will try to set up some other priority but one thing is very clear that all three of them are required right the right understanding in the

32:54 self is required the Fulfillment in relationship with human being is required and physical facility with rest of nature is required right so now what we want to do is to see whether when we are ensuring all three of them what is the outcome if we are only working on physical facility what is the outcome so let's look at that if you are only working for physical facility this is the outcome the unhappiness in the self and making others unhappy similarly at the level of physical facility we are feeling deprived and we are making others deprived or exploiting others so let's look at this when we don't have the right understanding in the

33:40 self right we are not able to ensure fulfillment in relationship therefore we are unhappy within and if we are unhappy within we are going to make others happy or unhappy unhappy right so I keep asking mothers par L when do you shout at the child or beat the child when you are comfortable within or uncomfortable within uncomfortable uncomfortable within right so if you are unhappy within you'll make others unhappy so if you don't have right understanding you are not able to ensure fulfillment in relationship therefore you are unhappy within and you are making others unhappy so this is one outcome the second outcome is that if

34:26 the right understanding is not there then I'm not able to identify my need of physical facility right if right understanding is not there I'm not able to identify my need of physical facility and if I'm not able to identify my need of physical facility then irre of how much physical facility I accumulate right I continue to feel deprived and if I have a feeling of deprivation in myself will I think of nurturing other or exploiting others exploiting others so I end up exploiting others depriving others right in one of the discussion with the University students we are all taking

35:11 tea and I asked the students that if this glass does not have a base okay how much tea will it take to fill the glass so everybody started smiling I said good at least you understand this right then I asked them okay okay tell me how many of you are able to identify your need of physical facility nobody raised hand right then I asked them that if you have not identified your need of physical facility can you ever have a feeling of having more than what is required no so can you ever have a feeling of prosperity

35:58 no right so this simple thing we don't understand that if we do not know how much physical facility is required then we will never have a feeling of prosperity IR regard of how much we have accumulated so our accumulation of physical faity will go on increasing but our feeling of deprivation will continue to be there so if the base is not there the glass will never get filled you will never have a feeling that you have more than what is required so you will never have a feeling of prosperity right you will feel deprived and if you feel deprived you will think of depriving others exploiting others right that is why if you look at the people today right we have two kinds

36:43 of people right people who are lacking physical facility unhappy and deprived then there are people who are having physical facility unhappy and deprived can we see this so if you look around these are the two types of people that you will see there are people who are lacking physical facility they are unhappy and Def there are people who are having physical facility they are unhappy and deed and you can find out where you are whether you are at one or you are at two what do you think

37:29 one or yes and you will see Su right the whole concept of development only takes you from 1 to two right a good road does it make it make you happy and prosperous 24hour electricity big car right and this is all we are providing in the name of modernity or the development right education even right so if you become an Ian what do you get right good job good job means good salary good salary means more

38:14 physical facility right so if you look at your education if you look at your you know development what it is ensuring is more physical facility right but it only takes you from one to two it does not ensure happiness prosperity and continuity of the two and if you look at what you want to be really is this I want to be in the third state that is having physical facility happy and prosperous so now the question is right what is naturally acceptable to you to be in one two or three three and where you

39:03 are right yeah either two or one right good so what we are saying that if you are only trying to live with physical facility this may suffice for Animals because animals can be satisfied with physical facility alone but it will not suffice for human being right because it will neither ensure happiness nor prosperity and of course not the continuity of it too so what we are saying that if if our living is only for physical facility then we are living with animal Consciousness because animals live only for physical facility and can be fulfilled by that not human

39:49 beings can we see this that if we are only living with physical facility this can suffice for animals not for human being and therefore if we are living with this only physical facility alone we are living with animal Consciousness does it make a meaningful conclusion yes no difficult to accept right good so if you're living with physical facility alone or trying to fulfill ourself with physical facility alone it does not work it neither ensures

40:34 happiness nor Prosperity nor the continuity of the two on the other hand if we are able to ensure all three right if we are able to ensure right all three that is right understanding relationship and physical facility then we are living with human consciousness because because through this human being can be fulfilled right through right understanding and right feeling in relationship we can ensure Mutual happiness so we can ensure happiness for ourselves and happiness for others similarly with right understanding we can identify the need of physical facility right and once we identify the

41:21 need of physical facility and we are able to ensure more than the required physical facility we'll have a feeling of prosperity in ourselves and if you have a feeling of prosperity within you will you think of nurturing others or exploiting others so when you can see that you have a feeling of prosperity that is you have more than what is required then will you think of nurturing others or exploiting others nurturing others nurturing others right so you will work for the prosperity of others so now you can see that with right understanding and fulfillment in relationship through right understanding

42:08 we can ensure Mutual happiness with right understanding and physical facility with rest of nature we can ensure Mutual Prosperity so therefore by ensuring these three the right understanding in the self the Fulfillment in relationship with human being and physical facility with rest of nature we can ensure happiness and prosperity for ourselves and work for happiness and prosperity for others which is what we desire as a human being therefore the need of human being that is happiness prosperity and its continuity can be fulfilled through these three things so what we are saying that if we are working for all three of them we can be satisfied as a human being through this ensuring happiness and prosperity for others and working for happiness and

42:54 prosperity of others you happiness and ensuring happiness and prosperity for ourself and working for happiness and prosperity for others right so what we are saying is that through this right understanding relationship and physical facility we are able to ensure the Fulfillment of human being right that is happiness and prosperity right can be ensured through these three things and therefore we are saying that if we are living like this we are living in human consciousness so let me repeat what we are saying is that if we are living with all three ensuring happiness and prosperity for ourselves and working for happiness and prosperity of others we are living with human

43:41 consciousness right on the other hand if we are only living with physical facility alone then we are living with animal Consciousness right because we can neither be happy nor prosperous and if you are not happy and prosperous we'll make others unhappy and deprived does it make sense so now we can ask ourselves whether this transformation from Consciousness is desirable not desirable so there are three question to be asked number one what is naturally acceptable to you

44:27 to be here or to be here human consciousness so what is naturally acceptable to you to be an animal Consciousness or human consciousness human consciousness good where are you animal Consciousness or human consciousness I will leave this question for you to ask you know yourself the third question is that whether this transformation from animal Consciousness to human consciousness is it desirable yes yes right so this is what is desirable that we should be able to

45:13 transform ourselves from animal Consciousness to human consciousness right and if this transformation is required then we can see that one of the major role in this transformation is played by education and suncar so now you can see that the role of education and sansar is to ensure this transformation from animal Consciousness to human consciousness right the role of

46:00 education is to transform human being from animal Consciousness to human consciousness which essentially means to develop this competence to live with definite human conduct live with human consciousness right and that was the first point that we raised you know the role of education is to and you know facilitate the development of competence to live a definite human conductor so now ultimately what we are saying that by living with physical facility alone okay we cannot ensure fulfillment for human being right we can nether ensure happiness or Prosperity okay so this will not suffice we need to ensure to live with human consciousness which calls for

46:47 these three things right so the role of education and sansar is to develop this competence to live with human consciousness to live with definite human conduct does it make sense right what we are doing today if you look back now with this background what we are trying to do today is this instead of making this transformation from animal Consciousness to human consciousness we are only trying to make this circle bigger so we are working with physical

47:34 facility and we are trying to accumulate more and more physical facility so if today we are getting a salary of 10,000 tomorrow we want to get it 50,000 then one lakh 10 lakh right but is it taking you to animal conscious human consciousness or still within the animal Consciousness so any amount of bigger circle at the level of physical facility alone will not work right so you go on making this bigger and bigger but it is not going to work however big it may be we have to transform from this animal Consciousness to human consciousness and for that education and sanskar is going to play the most important

48:19 role so that is why we said the role of education and sansar is to ensure this transformation from animal Consciousness to human consciousness to begin with it has to enable this transformation right from animal Consciousness to human consciousness does it make sense yes so this is one set of proposal that we wanted to make and if you can see this then we'll see that the role of education is essentially to ensure this transformation from animal ious to human consciousness and in order to do this right yeah just a remark you know

49:05 passing by remark that if you look at the need of these three then you can see that even today what we are producing is far more than what is required as physical facility so if you talk in terms of food in terms of grain that is required for all the human human beings on this Earth which is around 700 crores then this 2011 report right this is a una report right it says we are producing six times more than what is required for all the people on this Earth so we are almost producing 4.2 billion tons of grain right and the grain required for

49:53 all the 700 CR people is around 7 billion ton so we are already producing six times more than what is required and you'll be surprised to know that the amount of grain which is fed to the animals to eat their meat to convert them into meat and eat the meat can feed around 890 CR people more than 700 people you know all over the Earth so is it a problem of production or is it a problem of relationship so if there is so much produced and still people are dying of hunger is it a problem of production or

50:39 a problem of relationship Rel Rel problem of relationship and this problem of relationship is problem of understanding right problem of right understanding right so with this back ground let's now look at the education system that we would like to have or that will ensure this definite human conduct so what we are saying that this holistic development is transformation to human consciousness right and their role of education is to enable this transformation by way of ensuring the development of competence to live with definite human conduct therefore the education has to ensure these three things the ensure the education

51:27 has to ensure these three things one is right understanding in the self of every child right so first is Right understanding in the self second is the capacity to live in relationship with other human being and third regarding the physical facility there are three requirements one is one has to have the capacity to identify the need of physical facility through right understanding then one has to have the skills and practice for sustainable production right of more than what is required leading to the feeling of

52:12 prosperity so one is identification of the need which can be ensured through right understanding second is production of more than what is required and third is this production is through sustainable mode right which can ensure the Fulfillment of rest of nature these three things together will lead to the feeling of prosperity so now you can see whether all three of them has to be ensured in education system or not number one right understanding in the every child is it required yes second the capacity to live in relationship with other human being yes third the capacity to identify the need of physical facility yes and the skills and practice

53:00 for producing more than what is required through sustainable mode all together ensuring the feeling of prosperity so now you can see whether all three of them are required or we can do away with any one of them do we need the education to ensure all three of them yes yes no yes are we ensuring all three of them no in education today so if you look at the education today we are not able to ensure these three things what we are doing is the

53:46 following the first one is missing so we are not talking about the right understanding in the self of every child number two the second is also missing so the capacity to live in relationship with other human being is also not ensured then regarding the third one identification of physical facilities also missing so we go through 15 years of education 30 20 years of education but are we able to identify our need of physical facility right we are not even talking about it similarly the willingness to produce by way of Labor is it there or is it

54:32 missing missing missing missing we want to become white colar right the core feeling that is generated is to accumulate more and more and to consume more and more rather than to produce more and more so accumulate more and more and consume more and more I remember in trip Hyderabad we were having an you know discussion with the final year students and I asked them what is your expectation when you you know go out of the triple it one of the student very articulative said number one good

55:17 job good job means good salary good physical facility number two job satisfaction number three if possible no work right this is the kind of feeling that is generated right yeah so the first one is missing the second one is missing in the third one this willingness to work you know by way of Labor to produce is missing the identification of physical facility is also missing what feeling we are generating is to accumulate more and more and to consume more and more is that what is happening yes yes so with this kind of education will it lead to a human conduct or inhuman

56:04 conduct and that is what is happening right so good so with this clarity about what education system has to do know to ensure right understanding in the self of every child fulfillment the capacity to ensure fulfillment in relationship with human being and capacity to identify the need of physical facility and produce more than what is required through sustainable means of production thereby leading to Prosperity right so we were saying that if you look at the role of education and sansar okay its role is to ensure this transformation from animal

56:50 Consciousness to human consciousness and if this has to be ensured then education has to ensure three things the first one is the right understanding in in every child number two is ensuring the capacity in the child to ensure the Fulfillment of relationship with other human being and third is the capacity to identify the need of physical facility and have the skills you know and practice for sustainable production of more than what is required so that we can ensure prosperity for every one of us so this is what is expected of education system right education and sansar system what we are giving today is you know

57:36 that first one is missing the second one is missing and ultimately the major part of the third one is also missing right so with this we can see that the role of education is to facilitate this development of competence to live with definite human conduct by way of ensuring all three the right understanding the relationship and physical facility in every human being right the parents the teachers and Society the environment have the responsibility of providing such education in sanskar with this education means developing right understanding of what to do and sansar has to do with the commitment the preparation the practice for right living and this preparation

58:23 will include learning right skills and Technology that is how to do so education and sansar has to take care of both what to do and how to do if you look at what we are doing today we are focusing on how to do without clarifying what to do right so if we are clear about this now we can also see what education would look like right so if you look at in detail this right understanding in the self has to do with understanding the harmony at all levels of our being right that is Harmony in human being the family the society the nature and existence this is the total expans of us

59:11 you know as a human being so each one of us is living at all these levels knowingly or unknowingly so if you can see yourself whether you are living as a human being as an individual yes no yes are you living as a member of family a member of society yes and unit in nature in existence so this is the total expans of our being therefore right understanding would mean understanding the harmony at each of these levels so this is the first part of the content of this course or the workshop right the second part is that if we have the right understanding that is understanding of the harmony then sansar has to do with living in harm

59:56 Harmony right so education has to do with understanding the Harmony and sanskar has to do with living in Harmony and if you look at this living in harmony right it has two parts one is ensuring relationship with other human being and second is ensuring this physical facility with rest of nature right so these are the two things the education and the sansar education has to do with understanding the suncar has to do with living and living has to do with one relationship with human being and then ensuring physical facility with rest of Nature and this essentially is going to be the content of this course or this

1:00:42 Workshop that if you have to give right education and suncar then what is going to be the content and what is going to be the process is what you know can be worked out in the light of what right education and sansar is so if you look at the workshop and the content of the workshop this is how it would look like the right understanding in this self is part one which means understanding the Harmony in human being family Society nature and existence then part two which has to do with the sansar has to do with Justice in relationship with other human beings starting from family to World family order ultimately leading to Mutual happiness and undivided Society

1:01:27 and finally the participation in the larger order which is also the part of the sansar with nature from family order to World family order leading to fulfillment of human goal and Universal human order so this is how we want to live as human being you know it's living with human cons Consciousness would essentially call for ensuring this right understanding in the self you know which means understanding the Harmony from individual to family to society to Nature and existence and then living in relationship with other human being ensuring Justice in relationship leading to Mutual happiness from family to World family leading to undivided society and participating in the larger order with

1:02:12 entire nature starting from family order to World family order ultimately leading to fulfillment of human goal and Universal human order so now you can verify whether you as human being would like like to ensure all these three things right or anything in this is unnecessary right understanding in the self is it necessary yes yes and this understanding has to cover right from Individual to entire existence second is relationship Justice in relationship important yes would you like to ensure Justice only within your

1:02:58 family or expand it right up to the world family right up to the world family similarly ensuring this you know participation in the larger order with entire nature is it necessary and this has to be done only in the family order or we have to expand right up to the world family order so this is the total expand and if this happens then it will lead to Mutual happiness undivided society and fulfillment of human goal and Universal human order so similarly you can ask whether you want a divided Society or undivided Society undivided undivided society and

1:03:44 what do we have do we have divided Society or undivided society today undivided div today we have divided Society divided into many ways right divide between the Nations divided between the states between the cast between the Creed between the sex you know so many divisions so many isms so if you look at the desirability of human being right we want all this to be ensured right the whole thing has to be ensured so our education system is supposed to ensure the development of competence to live with all the this and that is what we are calling as living with human consciousness with definite

1:04:30 human conduct right so this has to be the content of any course right any you know system of Education any system of sansar and what we are saying is that this course intends to at least introduce the basic concepts relating to all this right so that is the content of this course right that is what what we intended to clarify you know in this session regarding the process we have already explained right that it is a process of self- exploration a process of self investigation whatever we are saying is a proposal which you do not have to assume to be true but you have to verify and verify it on your own right on the

1:05:16 basis of your own natural acceptance right and second it will go through a process of dialogue a dialogue which will initiate between me and you to begin with But ultimately it will be a dialogue within your own self and you can see this 1 hour this dialogue within yourself must have started and that basically is the purpose not only delivering the content so that must have started and if it started it is you know that is the you know success of the workshop not just delivering the content so with this let us sum up so what we have said is that role of Education and suncar is to enable this transformation to human consciousness that is holistic

1:06:01 development by way of ensuring the development of competence to live with definite human conduct this essentially is the point we made and we said that if this has to be done then our education and sanskar has to ensure these three things right number one right understanding in every child right number two the capacity to live with live in relationship with other human beings and third the capacity to identify the need of physical facility and the skills to provide skills and practice for sustainable production of more than what is required leading to feeling of prosperity if all these three are components of human education suncar is

1:06:47 ensured right then it will develop the competence to live with definite human coun conduct the parents the teachers and social Society the environment have the responsibility of providing such education in SAR right so we can further go on and work out you know the necessary steps for ensuring this education in suncar but what we intended in this session as I said number one to give you an idea about the content of this course or the content of this Workshop right which is essentially this and also the

1:07:32 process of this Workshop right which is this through the process of Investigation into the concept of holistic development and the role of education so I think we have know from our side put forward the essential proposals so I shall stop here if there are any questions we'll take it up
