Holistic Development through Education and Sanskar

Human Fulfilment

• Three things are required for human fulfillment: right understanding, relationship, and physical facility, in that order of priority.
• One cannot be substituted for the other.
• Human consciousness is the state of living with continuous happiness and prosperity, achieved by ensuring right understanding, fulfillment in relationship, and physical facility in the correct priority.

Value Education

• Human values can be understood through a process of self-discovery, as they are potentially present in every human being.
• The process of Value Education involves self-exploration, not giving sermons or telling dos and don'ts.
• Students should be encouraged to verify truth and reality on their own right.

Self-Exploration

• Self-exploration involves a dialogue between the teacher and student, and eventually within the student themselves.
• It involves discovering one's natural acceptance, becoming aware of "what I am", and making efforts to ensure harmony and happiness within.
• Self-exploration is necessary to avoid being programmed by others and to be able to decide on one's own right.

Priorities

• Right understanding is the first priority, followed by fulfillment in relationship, and then physical facility.
• Living with only physical facility can lead to unhappiness and exploitation of others.

Human Consciousness vs. Animal Consciousness

• Human consciousness involves living with right understanding, fulfillment in relationship, and physical facility in the correct priority.
• Animal consciousness, on the other hand, involves living only for physical facility, leading to unhappiness and deprivation.

The Process of Self-Exploration

• The process involves discovering one's natural acceptance and making efforts to ensure harmony and happiness within.
• It involves two parts: verification and experiential validation.
• Verification involves verifying proposals on one's own right, and experiential validation involves trying to live according to the proposal and verifying its effectiveness.

Content for Self-Exploration

• The content for self-exploration involves two sub-parts: desire (what is our basic aspiration?) and program (what is the way to fulfill this basic aspiration?).
• Answering these two questions can answer all other questions.
