 ============================================================= ============================================================ Monday, March 07, 2022. 06:00. 1.#THE PURUSHARTHAS : ============================================================= #Life has been always regarded in India as a process of progressive self-transcendence from the realm of matter (Annamaya-Jivatva) to the realisation of supreme spiritual bliss (Parama-Ananda).  #Human values and ends in life have been classified into the scheme of the fourfold pursuit (Purushartha) of existence, viz., : *1. the practice of righteousness and goodness (Dharma),  *2. the effort towards earning of the necessary material values (Artha),  *3. the fulfillment of permissible desires through honest means (Kama),  *4. and the endeavour for the final salvation of the soul (Moksha).  #This analysis is based on a broad understanding of the different levels of individuals in relation to the Universe. ------------------...

Post-7. ================================================= In practical life, universality manifests itself as unselfishness. The more are we unselfish, the more are we tending towards universality. Hence, our unselfishness is the test of our happiness. To be unselfish would be to also include the features of other human beings in our life. So unselfishness is not really absence of the self but an inclusion of the selves of others in greater and greater degrees. Unselfishness means the negation of the demands of the egoistic self and the inclusion of the needs of others selves also. So again we come to the point of considering the world outside at the same time we consider the needs of our inner life. It amounts to saying that when a person enters the field of education, one enters the field of the uni...

(Spoken on July 26, 1976.) Post-6. ===================================================================== Now, for this purpose we have to understand the structure of the universe as a whole. Great educationists of the past were also great philosophers because psychology is based on a metaphysical insight into the nature of things, and education is nothing but an expression of human psychology. Therefore, we can imagine how vast is the pursuit of education, or knowledge, and how little are our efforts towards its implementation. Now we are in a position to understand where we have made the mistake in life. We do not live in the world for the sake of physical comfort or convenience. The purpose of living is to work hard for the education of the spirit within, and the revelation of the spirit, which is ...

(Spoken on July 26, 1976.) Post-4. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the state of deep sleep we exist in a condition bereft of physical consciousness. How can we find out what our condition in the state of deep sleep is when we are bereft of physical and social consciousness? Our state of being in deep sleep is something impersonal, really speaking. Our body is not there and our mind is not functioning, and yet we exist. That means to say, it is possible to exist bereft of physical and mental consciousness, but ordinarily it is impossible for us to conceive such a condition. The metaphysical aspect of the situation is that our essential nature is revealed in the state of deep sleep. The memory that we subsequently have of having slept proves that a conscious su...

Post-3. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All this is a part of the enterprise of the social individual who is man, but we now come to a larger question as to why there is any kind of effort on the part of the human being. The need to maintain a body or to study the mind or to live comfortably in life is an effort at the achievement of something which is to be clear first. The pursuit of knowledge as well as any kind of activity in the world has an aim behind it. Now I am coming to an essential point that we have to recognise the aim of life first before we try to do anything in life. We do not study things for nothing. There is a reason behind it. Whether education is physical, psychological, intellectual, scientific or spiritual, what is the reason for our pursuit of this process...

Post-2. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So there is a need to go into the depths of the very processes of knowledge before we enter into the field of education. The psychology of education is a precedent to the pursuit of the real progress in education. It has been said that education is the process of the revelation of the perfection that is already in the human being. This is a maxim which makes out that there is what is called perfection, and all knowledge is a pursuit of perfection. Perfection means completeness in every respect, and that which is complete should be so both outwardly as well as inwardly. A partial observation and partial knowledge of any object cannot be regarded as perfection in knowledge. The system of physical education which introduces the techniqu...
