Are incidences of reaction… not speaking to the other… arguments… debates… divorce… increasing or decreasing? Explore your close relationships – in the family, with friends, in the workplace, in the society In spite of our acceptance for relationship, why is it happening? 15 Let’s check our Perspective about Relationship Let us find out if 1. We want to live in relationship (harmony) with others or 2. We want to live in opposition with others or 3. We believe living has to be necessarily in opposition with others, i.e. There is 'struggle for survival' , ‘survival of the fittest’ and check if we feel happy living this way? vki gh vius esa tkap dj ns[ksa] 1- vkidh pkguk laca/kiwoZd thus dh gS ;k 2- vkidh pkguk fojks/kiwoZd thus dh gS ;k 3- vkius eku j[kk gS fd thuk rks fojks/kiwoZd gh laHko gSA ‘struggle for survival’, ‘survival of the fittest’ vkSj D;k vki oSlk thrs gq, lq[kh gksrs gSa\ What is our present perspective? Which view do we promote? (at home, in the family… in schools and colleges… and in the society) Is it the naturally acceptable view? 18 Right Understanding is also Essential for Human Being For fulfilment in relationship, it is necessary to have right understanding about relationship i.e. Right understanding is also necessary for human being With right understanding: ▪ We have clarity about relationship with human being; we are able to fulfil relationship ▪ We also have clarity about how much physical facility we need 19 Right Understanding is also Essential for Human Being RIGHT UNDERSTANDING (le>) in the self For animals: RELATIONSHIP PHYSICAL FACILITY necessary & largely (laca/k) adequate (lqfo/kk) with human For human beings: being with rest of nature necessary but not adequate Are all 3 required? Is something redundant? Is anything more required? Are we working on all 3? If all 3 are required, what would be the priority*? *Working on the high priority makes it easier to deal with the lower priority 24 Priority: Right Understanding, Relationship & Physical Facility 1 RIGHT UNDERSTANDING (le>) in the self 2 3 For animals: RELATIONSHIP PHYSICAL FACILITY necessary & largely (laca/k) Feeling adequate (lqfo/kk) - Trust - Respect -… with human For human beings: being with rest of nature necessary but not adequate 25 Priority: Right Understanding, Relationship & Physical Facility 1 RIGHT UNDERSTANDING (le>) in the self 2 3 For animals: RELATIONSHIP PHYSICAL FACILITY necessary & largely (laca/k) Feeling adequate (lqfo/kk) - Trust - Respect -… with human For human beings: being with rest of nature necessary but not adequate MUTUAL HAPPINESS MUTUAL PROSPERITY (mHk; lq[k) (mHk; le`f)) 26 Priority: Physical Facility ?

Of the 4.2 billion tons of food produced, more than 1 billion tons of food is lost or wasted every year, UN-backed report finds (11 May 2011) About a third of all the food produced for human consumption each year – or roughly 1.3 billion tons – is lost or wasted, according to a new study commissioned by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Global Food Production is 6 times requirement Global Food Wastage is 1/3rd of production Wastage is enough to feed 1300 crore people/year Have we understood right utilisation? Is it a question of production? Is it a question of distribution? Is it a question of relationship? Is it a question of right understanding? It is a question of education http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=38344&Cr=fao&Cr1 36 Transformation (ladze.k) = Holistic Development (fodkl) Is development just in increasing physical facility or development is ensuring of all 3? Is this transformation desirable? Are we making effort for it? Do we need to make effort for it? We will explore into the effort required for transformation, for holistic development 38 Role of Education-Sanskar: To Enable Transformation Holistic development is transformation to Human Consciousness The role of education-sanskar is to enable this transformation by way of ensuring the development of the competence to live with human consciousness and definite human conduct For this, it has to ensure 1. Right understanding in every child 2. The capacity to live in relationship with the other human being 3. The capacity to identify the need of physical facility and the skills & practice for sustainable production of more than what is required leading to the feeling of prosperity 39 Required for Transformation Present State 1.
