Q 1. What do you mean by values or human values?

What is value education? Why there is a need of

value education? How does value education helps in
fulfilling one's aspirations?
ANS. Character oriented education that instills basic values and ethnic value in one‟s psyche is
called „Value Based Education‟. The subject that enables us to understand „what is valuable‟ for
human happiness is called value education. Value education is important to help everyone in
improving the value system that he/she holds and puts it to use. Once, one has understood his/
her values in life he/she can examine and control the various choices he/she makes in his/ her
life. Value education enables us to understand our needs and visualize our goals correctly and
also helps to remove our confusions and contradictions and bring harmony at all levels. It also
helps remove our confusions and contradictions and enables us to rightly utilize the
technological innovations.
Values form the basis for all our thoughts, behaviours and actions. Once we know what is
valuable to us, these values becomes the basis, the anchor for our actions. We also need to
understand the universality of various human values, because only then we can have a definite
and common program for value education. Then only we can be assured of a happy and
harmonious human society.

Q 2. Explain the process of value education.

ANS. The process for value education has to be that of self-exploration, which includes two
things: verification at the level of natural acceptance and experiential validation in living. Self
exploration is the process to find out what is valuable to me by investigating within myself, what
is right for me, true for me, has to be judged within myself. Through self exploration we get the
value of ourselves. Various aspects of reality facilitating the understanding of human values
will be presented as proposals. We need to verify these proposals for our self and examine our
living in this light.
Q 3. What are the basic guidelines for value education? (UPTU 2011 – 12)

ANS. The subject that enables us to understand „what is valuable‟ for human happiness is called
value education. In order to qualify for any course on value education, the following guidelines
for the content of the course are important:

Universal: It needs to be applicable to all the human beings irrespective of cast, creed,
nationalities, religion, etc., for all times and regions.

Rational: It has to appeal to human reasoning. It has to be amenable to reasoning and not
based on dogmas or blind beliefs.

Natural and verifiable: It has to be naturally acceptable to the human being who goes through
the course and when we live on the basis of such values it leads to our happiness. It needs to be
experientially verifiable, and not based on dogmas, beliefs or assumptions.

All encompassing: Value education is aimed at transforming our consciousness and living.
Hence, it needs to cover all the dimensions (thought, behaviour, work and realization) and
levels (individual, family, society, nature and existence) of human life and profession.
Leading to harmony: The value education ultimately is targeted to promote harmony within
the individual, among human beings and with nature.

Q 4. What do you understand by the value of an entity? What is the value of a human
being? (UPTU 2009-10)

ANS. The value of any unit in this existence is its participation in the larger order of which it is
part e.g. value of a pen is that it can write. Here writing is the participation of the pen in the
bigger order in which pen, paper, human being, all are present. Value of an eye is that it can be
used for seeing. Value of a vegetable plant is that it gives nutrition to animals and humans.

The value of human being is the participation of human being at different level in this order.
The participation of the human being is seen in two forms: behaviour and work. The
participation of human being pertaining to behaviour are the nine values in relationship, viz.
trust, respect, affection, care, guidance, reverence, glory, gratitude and love. Likewise, working
with material things, we have two values: utility value and artistic value. Al these values are
nothing but the participation of the human being in different dimensions of living.
Q 5. What is the need for value education?
Write a short note on the need for value education in today‟s scenario. (MTU 2010 – 11)
ANS. The subject that enables us to understand „what is valuable‟ for human happiness is called
value education. Need for value education is:

Correct identification of our aspirations. The subject which enables us to understand „what
is valuable‟ for human happiness is called „value education‟ (VE). Thus, VE enables us to
understand our needs and visualize our goals correctly and also indicate the direction for their
fulfillment. It also helps to remove our confusions and contradictions and bring harmony at all
levels.

Understanding universal human values to fulfill our aspirations in continuity. Values

form the basis for all our thoughts, behaviours and actions. Once we know what is valuable to
us, these values becomes the basis, the anchor for our actions. We also need to understand the
universality of various human values, because only then we can have a definite and common
program for value education. Then only we can be assured of a happy and harmonious human
society.

Complimentarily of values and skills. To fulfill our aspirations both values and skills are
necessary. When we identify and set the right goals and produced in right direction. This is
known as value domain, the domain of wisdom, and when we learn and practices to actualize
this goal to develop the techniques to make this happen in real life, in various dimensions of
human Endeavour (struggle). This is known as domain of skills.

Hence, there is an essential complementarily between values and skills for the success of any
human Endeavour. For example, I want to lead a healthy life. Only wishing for good health will
not help me keep my body fit and healthy and without having understood the meaning of health,
I will not be able to choose things correctly to keep my body fit and healthy.
Evaluation of our beliefs. Each one of us believes in certain things and we base our values on these
beliefs, are they false or true which may or may not be true in reality. These believes come to us from
what we read, see, hear, what our parents tells us, our friends talk about, what them magazines talk of,
what we see from TV etc. Value Education helps us to evaluate our beliefs and assumed values.

Technology and human values. The present education system has become largely skill-based. The
prime emphasis is on science and technology. However, science and technology can only help to
provide the means to achieve what is considered valuable. It is not within the scope of science and
technology to provide the competence of deciding what really is valuable. Value Education is a crucial
missing link in the present education system. Because of this deficiency,
most of our efforts may prove to be counterproductive and serious crises at the individual, societal
and environmental level are manifesting.
Q 6. What is the need for value education in technical and other professional institutions?

ANS. The subject that enables us to understand „what is valuable‟ for human happiness is called value
education. The present education system has become largely skill-based. The prime emphasis is on
science and technology. However, science and technology can only help to provide the means to
achieve what is considered valuable. It is not within the scope of science and technology to provide the
competence of deciding what really is valuable. Value Education is a crucial missing link in the present
education system. Because of this deficiency, most of our efforts may prove to be counterproductive
and serious crises at the individual, societal and environmental level are manifesting.
Q 7. Ilustrate the content of value education.
What should be the content of value education to make it complete? How do values relate to
our day to day living? (UPTU 2010-11)
ANS. The subject that enables us to understand „what is valuable‟ for human happiness is called
value education. The scope of value education includes al dimensions (thoughts, behaviour, work
and realization) and all levels (individual, family, society and nature – existence). Accordingly, the
content of value education will be to understand myself, my aspirations, my happiness; understand
the goal of human life comprehensively, understand the other entities in nature, the innate inter-
connectedness, the coexistence in the nature- existence and finally the role of human being in this
nature/existence entirely. Hence, it has to encompass understanding of harmony at various levels
and finally, learning to live in accordance with this understanding by being vigilant to one‟s
thoughts, behaviour and work.
Q 8. Values and skill complement each other. Elaborate.
“For success in any Human Endeavour both values and skills are required.” Explain.
What do you mean by values? How do they differ from skills? How are values and
skills complementary? Explain how production skills and human values are
complementary. Give two examples. (UPTU, 2011 – 12)
ANS. Values means importance or participation and skills means qualities, training, and
capabilities. To fulfill our aspirations both values and skills are necessary. When we identify and
set the right goals and produced in right direction. This is known as value domain, the domain of
wisdom. Basically we must know what really is useful to achieve human happiness, the happiness
to al and for all the time.
And when we learn and practices to actualize this goal to develop the techniques to make this
happen in real life, in various dimensions of human Endeavour (struggle). This is known as
domain of skills. Hence, there is an essential complementarily between values and skills for the
success of any human Endeavour.
For example, I want to lead a healthy life. Only wishing for good health will not help me keep
my body fit and healthy and without having understood the meaning of health, I will not be able to
choose things correctly to keep my body fit and healthy. So I have to learn the skills to achieve the
goal of good health i.e. food to be consumed, the physical workout to be designed. So without
knowing the meaning of good health, health cannot be achieved and also it is necessary to make use
of the goal to achieve the goal of the goal.
Q 10. What do you mean by your natural acceptance and experiential validation?

ANS. Natural acceptance is a mechanism of self exploration. Self exploration is a method to

explore ourselves. Natural acceptance is process to understand ourselves first. Natural
acceptance implies unconditional and total acceptance of the self, people and environment. It
also refers to the absence of any exception from others. In other words, Natural acceptance is
way to accept the good things naturally.

Experiential validation is a process that infuses direct experience with the learning environment
and content. It may be regarded as a philosophy and methodology in which the direct
experience and focused reflection of the individual helps to increase knowledge, develop skill
and clarify values. Most of what we know about our self is not only through our own opinion of
our self but also because of how others view us.

When what we already believe to be true of us is validated by some situations, phenomena or

outcomes. We may term it as experiential validation.

Q 12. What do you mean by self-exploration? What is the need for self-exploration?
What do you understand by self exploration? Where does it take place – self or body?
(UPTU 2009-10) Explain the concepts of natural acceptance and experiential
validation as the mechanisms of self exploration. What is the mechanism of self
exploration? And as a result what do we get in the end and how? (2011)
ANS. Self exploration is the process to find out what is valuable to me by investigating within
myself, what is right for me, true for me, has to be judged within myself. Through self
exploration we get the value of ourselves. For self exploration we need two expects:

1. Natural acceptance: Natural acceptance implies unconditional and total acceptance of the self,
people and environment. It also refers to the absence of any exception from others. Once we
fully and truly commit ourselves on the basis of natural acceptance, we feel a holistic sense of
inner harmony, tranquility and fulfillment.

2. Experiential validation: Experiential validation is a process that infuses direct experience

with the learning environment and content. It may be regarded as a philosophy and
methodology in which the direct experience and focused reflection of the individual helps to
increase knowledge, develop skill and clarify values.

Self exploration takes place in the self and not the body.
Q 14. What do you understand by the terms svatva, swatantrata and swarajya?
What is innateness (svatva), self organization (swatantrata) and self expression
(swarajya)? How are they related to each other?
ANS. This process of self exploration helps us to identify our swatva and through
that acquiring swantantrata and swarajya.
Swatva means innatenes of self – the natural acceptance of
harmony. Swatantrata means being self- organized – being in
harmony with oneself Swarajya means self-expression, self-
extension – living in harmony with others
Swatva Swatantrata Swarajya
The swatva is already there, intact in each one of us. By being in dialogue with it, we attain
swantantrata enabling us to work for swarajya. Living in contradiction, means we are not self-
organized and living with pre-conditionings where we have assumed certain things, have
accumulated desires without having first evaluated them, then it means we are partantra. On the
other hand, when we identify our innateness, what we really want to be and establish a
dialogue with it, it enables us to start living with this harmony, it starts expressing itself through
our harmonious behaviour and work, and it naturally extends to our participation with the
surroundings. This is working towards swarajya.
Q 13. Ilustrate the purpose of self exploration.
ANS. Self exploration is the process to find out what is valuable to me by investigating within
myself, what is right for me, true for me, has to be judged within myself. Through self
exploration we get the value of ourselves. The purpose of self exploration is:
1. It is a process of dialogue between “what you are” and “what you really want to be”: It is a
process of focusing attention on ourselves, our present beliefs and aspirations vis-à-vis what we
really want to be (that is to say, what is naturally acceptable to us). If these two are the same,
then there is no problem. If on investigation we find that these two are not the same, then it
means we are living with this contradiction (of not being what we really want to be) and
hence, we need to resolve this contradiction this conflict within us.
It is a process of discovering that there is something innate, invariant and universal in all human
beings. This enables us to look at our confusions and contradictions within and resolve them by
becoming aware of our natural acceptance.
2. It is a process of self evolution through self investigation: It successively enables us to evolve
by bridging the gap between „what we are‟ and „what to be‟. Hence, the self exploration leads to
our own improvement, our self evolution – we will become qualitatively better.
3. It is a process of knowing oneself and through that, knowing the entire existence: The
exploration starts by asking simple questions about ourselves, which gives our clarity about our
being, and then clarity about everything around us.
4. It is a process of recognizing one‟s relationship with every unit in existence and fulfilling it: It
is a process of becoming aware about our right relationship with other entities in existence and
through that discovering the interconnectedness, co- existence and other in the entire existence,
and living accordingly.
5. It is a process of knowing human conduct, human character and living accordingly: It is a
process of discovering the definitiveness of human conduct and human character and enabling
one to be definite in thought, behaviour and work.
6. It is a process of being in harmony in oneself and in harmony with entire existence: This
process of self exploration helps us to be in harmony with ourselves and with everything
around.
7. It is a process of identifying our innateness and moving towards self organization and self
expression: This process of self exploration helps us to identify our swatvaand through that
acquiring swantantrata and swarajya.
Swatva: Innateness of self – the natural acceptance of
harmony Swatantrata: Being self- organized – being in
harmony with oneself Swarajya: Self-expression, self-
extension – living in harmony with others
Swatva Swatantrata Swarajya
The swatva is already there, intact in each one of us. By being in dialogue with it, we attain
swantantrata enablingus to work for swarajya.
Q 15. Self exploration is a process of dialogue between „what you are‟ and „what you
really want to be‟. Explain and illustrate.
ANS. Self exploration is the process to find out what is valuable to me by investigating within
myself, what is right for me, true for me, has to be judged within myself. Through self
exploration we get the value of ourselves. It is a process of focusing attention on ourselves, our
present beliefs and aspirations vis-à-vis what we really want to be (that is to say, what is
naturally acceptable to us). If these two are the same, then there is no problem. If on
investigation we find that these two are not the same, then it means we are living with this
contradiction (of not being what we really want to be) and hence, we need to resolve this
contradiction this conflict within us. It is a process of discovering that there is something innate,
invariant and universal in all human beings. This enables us to look at our confusions and
contradictions within and resolve them by becoming aware of our natural acceptance.

Q 16. How can we verify proposals on the basis of our natural acceptance? Explain with
example.
What do you mean by your natural acceptance? Is it innate, invariant and universal?
Explain (UPTU 2011 – 12) “Natural acceptance is innate, invariant and universal.” Explain
this statement with an example. (MTU 2011 – 12) ANS. Natural acceptance implies
unconditional and total acceptance of the self, people and environment. It also refers to the
absence of any exception from others. Once we fully and truly commit ourselves on the basis
of natural acceptance, we feel a holistic sense of inner harmony, tranquility and fulfillment.
Actually natural acceptance is way to accept the good things naturally. Learn everything that is
good from others, but bring it in, and in our own way absorb it; do not become others. We can
easily verify proposals in the basis of characteristics of natural acceptance mentioned below:
a. Natural acceptance does not change with time. It remains invariant with time. For example
our natural acceptance for trust and respect does not change with age.
b. It does not depend on the place. Whatever we have accepted, in our life, at any time of our
age, does not change, even if we move from one place to another one.
c. It does not depend on our beliefs or past conditionings. No matter how deep our belief or past
conditioning, as long as we ask ourselves the question sincerely, as long as we refer deep within
ourselves, the answer will always be the same.
d. This natural acceptance is „constantly there‟, something we can refer to. Natural acceptance is
always there. Whatever we do, this natural acceptance is within us, it is telling us what is right.
e. Natural acceptance is the same for al of us: it is part and parcel of every human being, it is
part of humanness. Though each one of us, may have different likes and dislikes and means to
live and to react etc. but if we go deep in our mind the purpose of our work, behaviour, efforts
etc. are based on common goals like need to be happy, need to be respected, need to get
prosperity. So our basic acceptance remains the same.
Q 17. What is happiness?
ANS. Happiness may be defined as being in harmony/synergy in the state/ situation that I live in.
“A state or situation in which I live, if there is harmony in it then I like to be in that state/situation.
The state of liking is happiness.” Happiness is a state of mind or feeling characterized by
contentment, love, satisfaction, pleasure or joy. Happiness may be described as consisting of
positive emotions and positive activities. There may be three kinds of happiness: pleasure,
engagement, and meaning. In other words, freedom from want and distress, consciousness of the
good order of things, assurance of one‟s place in the universe or society, inner peace and so forth.
Happiness is the state of mind, where we feel good in most of the walk of life.

Q 18. What is the meaning of prosperity? How can you say that you are prosperous?
ANS. The feeling of having or making available more than required physical facilities is prosperity.
Almost all of us feel that wealth alone means prosperity and try to explain this phenomenon on this
nonexistent or half fact. We are trying to achieve happiness and prosperity by maximizing
accumulation and consumption of physical facilities. It is becoming anti- ecological and anti-people,
and threatening the human survival itself. For prosperity, two things are required-
1. Identification of the required quantity of physical facilities, and
2. Ensuring availability / production of more than required physical facilities.
We can be prosperous only if there is a limit to the need for physical facilities. If there is no limit
what so ever be the availability the feeling of prosperity cannot be assured.
Secondly, just assessing the need is not enough. We need to be able to produce or make available
more than the perceived need.

Q 19. What is the difference between prosperity and wealth? What is more acceptable to us
and why? What do you understand by prosperity? What is the difference between prosperity
and wealth? How are the two related?
What is the meaning of prosperity? How does it difer from possession of wealth? Explain
with examples. (UPTU 2009 - 10)
Differentiate between prosperity and wealth with examples. (MTU 2010 – 11)
ANS. Prosperity is a feeling of having more than required physical facilities; it is not just physical
facilities. Almost all of us feel that wealth alone means prosperity and try to explain this
phenomenon on this nonexistent or half fact. Wealth is a physical thing. It means having money, or
having a lot of physical facilities or both. This is a very important distinction. We mostly fail to
make this distinction today. We keep working for wealth, without realizing that the basic desire is
for the feeling of prosperity, to have a feeling of having enough. Prosperity is more acceptable to us
because wealth is just a part of prosperity. We are trying to achieve happiness and prosperity by
maximizing accumulation and consumption of physical facilities. It is becoming anti-ecological and
anti-people, and threatening the human survival itself. A person has lot of money, but does not
want to share even a bit of it. The person „has wealth‟ but feels „deprived‟. If one felt prosperous
he/she would have shared what one has, since there is lot more than enough wealth anyway.
Q 20. What is your present vision of a happy and prosperous life?
ANS. We are trying to achieve happiness and prosperity by maximizing accumulation and
consumption of physical facilities. It is becoming anti-ecological and anti-people, and
threatening the human survival itself.
Some of the consequences of such trend are summarized below:
At the level of individual – rising problems of depression, psychological disorders, suicides,
stress, insecurity, etc.
At the level of family – breaking of joint families, mistrust, and conflict between older
and younger generations, insecurity in relationships, divorce, dowry tortures, etc.
At the level of society – growing incidence of terrorism and naxalism, rising communalism,
spreading casteism, racial and ethnic struggle, wars between nations, etc.
At the level of nature – global warming, water, air, soil, noise etc. pollution, resource depletion
of minerals and mineral oils, etc.
All the problems are a direct outcome of an incorrect understanding, our wrong notion about
happiness and prosperity and their continuity – this is an issue for serious exploration.

Q 21. What do the abbreviations given as SVDD, SSDD and SSSS signify?
ANS. To achieve our basic aspirations we need to work for right understanding as the base on
which we can work for relationship and then physical facilities. Today we are not working
according to this that why we can see that there are two kinds of people in the world:
1. Those that do not have physical facilities/ wealth and feel unhappyand deprived. i.e.
SVDD: Sadhan Viheen Dukhi Daridra – Materially Deficient, Unhappy and Deprived.
2. Those that have physical facilities/ wealth and feel unhappy and deprived. i.e. SSDD: Sadhan
Sampann Dukhi Daridra
– Materially Affluent, Unhappy and Deprived.
But these are states we don‟t want to be in. We want to move from this to third category i.e.
3. Having physical facilities and feeling happy and prosperous i.e. SSSS: Sadhan Sampann
Sukhi Samriddha – Materially Adequate, Happy and Prosperous.
Presently, as we look around, we find most of the people in the above two categories called
SVDD and SSDD, while the natural acceptance of all human beings is to be in the category of
SSSS.
Q 22. “Physical facilities are necessary and complete for animals, while they are
necessary but not complete for humans.” Comment.
Explain how physical facilities are necessary but not complete for humans while they are
complete for animals. Physical facilities are necessary but not complete for human being.
Do you agree with this statement? Support your answer with reasons and examples.
(UPTU 2011-12)
ANS. Physical facilities are necessary and complete for animals, while they are necessary but

ANIMAL

HUMAN PHYSICAL FACILITIES

Human Animal

Necessary but not complete Necessary and complete

not complete for humans. It is easy to verify.
For Animals: Animals need physical things to survive, mainly to take care of their body. For
example; cow will look for food when it is hungry. Once it gets the grass or fodder. It eats it,
sits around to chew at leisure. Hence, we can say that as long as animals have physical things,
they are largely fine. They don‟t desire other things like knowledge or a peaceful animal society
or getting a good MBA.
For Humans: While physical facilities are necessary for human beings, they are not complete
by themselves to fulfill our needs. Our needs are more than just physical facilities. We all have
other needs, other plans, perhaps we think of going to a movie or reading a book, or go to
college, or watch some TV, or spend time with family and friends…. this list is endless. Thus it
is easy to see that while physical facilities are necessary for us human beings, they are not
complete by themselves to fulfill our needs. Hence we can say that for animals – “Physical
facilities are necessary and complete.” For humans “Physical facilities are necessary but not
complete.”
Q 23. What are the requirements to fulfill basic human aspirations?
What is the program to fulfill the basic human aspirations? Explain (MTU 2011 – 12)
Explain the basic requirements to fulfill human aspirations. Give the correct priority
among them. (UPTU 2009- 10)
Three things are needed in order to fulfill basic human aspirations–right understanding,
right relationships and physical facilities. Explain meaning of each one of these. (UPTU
2010–11)
Right understanding has first priority to fulfill basic aspiration. How can you explain it?
(2011)
ANS. Our basic aspirations are happiness (mutual fulfillment) and prosperity (mutual
prosperity). Happiness is ensured by the relationships with other human beings and prosperity is
ensured by working on physical facilities.
Right Understanding: This refers to higher order human skills – the need to learn and
utilize our intelligence most effectively.
Good Relationships: This refers to the interpersonal relationships that a person builds in his or
her life– at home, at the workplace and in society.
Physical Facilities: This includes the physiological needs of individuals and indicates the
necessities as well as the comforts of life. It means the feeling of having or being able to have
more physical facilities than is needed.

Right Understanding

Relationship Physical Facilities

Happiness- with human beings Mutual prosperity- with rest of nature

In order to resolve the issues in human relationships, we need to understand them first, and this
would come from „right understanding of relationship‟. Similarly in order to be prosperous and
to enrich nature, we need to have the „right understanding‟. The „right understanding‟ will
enable us to work out our requirements for physical facilities and hence correctly distinguish the
difference between wealth and prosperity. With nature as well, we need to understand the
harmony in nature, and how we can complement this harmony.
Q 24. What do you mean by animal and human consciousness? Explain with the help of a
diagram.
Distinguish between „human consciousness‟ and „animal consciousness‟. How “shiksha
and sanskar” are helpful in raising man to “human consciousness” level. (UPTU 2010 –
11)
What is the difference between animal consciousness and human consciousness? How does
the transformation take place in a human being? (MTU2011 – 12)
ANS. Giving al priorities to physical facilities only, or to live solely on the basis of physical
facilities, may be termed as „Animal Consciousness‟. Living with al three: Right understanding,
Relationship and Physical facilities are called „Human Consciousness‟.

From the diagram we can say that:

For animal, physical facility is necessary as well as complete – whereas for human beings it is
necessary but not complete. Working only for physical facilities is living with Animal
Consciousness.
Working for right understanding as the first priority followed by relationship and physical
facilities implies living with Human Consciousness.
There is a need for transformation from Animal Consciousness to Human Consciousness. It can
be accomplished only by working for right understanding as the first priority.
This transformation from Animal Consciousness to Human Consciousness forms the basis for
human values and values based living.
The content of education is the understanding of harmony at al the four levels of our existence –
from myself to the entire existence. Right living or sanskar refers to the ability to live in
harmony at all the four levels of living. This dimension of society works to ensure „right
understanding‟ and „right feelings‟ in individual. Oral encompassing solution called samadhan
in every individual and ensures that our succeeding generation have both the content and the
environment available to work towards achieving their goal of continuous happiness and
prosperity.
Q 25. “To be in a state of harmony is happiness”. Explain this statement and illustrate
with two examples from your day to day life.
ANS. Happiness is a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, love, satisfaction,
pleasure or joy. Happiness may be described as consisting of positive emotions and positive
activities. In other words, freedom from want and distress, consciousness of the good order of
things, assurance of one‟s place in the universe or society, inner peace and so
forth. Happiness is the state of mind, where we feel good in most of the walk of life. One
important characteristic of this is feeling is that we like to continue this feeling. Or in other
words,
“The state/situation in which I live, if there is harmony/ synergy in it, then I like to be in that
state or situation.” i.e. “To be in a state of liking is happiness.”
If we explore our life we will find that respect is a state of harmony between two human beings.
When I respect the other and the other respects me, I like to be in that situation. It gives me
happiness. Take other example, when there is harmony in my thoughts and feelings, I feel
relaxed and I want to be in that situation. This feeling is happiness.

Q 26. There are many problems manifest today at the level of individual, family, society
and the nature. Identify some of these problems humans suffer from. (UPTU 2010 – 11)
ANS. Today we are generally trying to achieve happiness and prosperity by maximizing
accumulation and consumption of physical facilities. This effort is giving rise to many problems
manifest today at the level of individual, family, society and the nature. These problems are: At
the level of individual– Rising problems of depression, anxiety, suicides, stress, insecurity,
increasing health problems, lack of confidence and conviction etc.
At the level of family– Breaking up of joint families, mistrust and disharmony in
relationships, divorce, generation gap, dowry deaths, neglect of older people etc.
At the level of society– Growing incidences of terrorism, violence, communalism, racial and
ethnic struggle, corruption, adulteration, sex-crimes exploitation, wars between nations,
proliferation of lethal weapons etc.
At the level of nature– Global warming, weather imbalances, depletion of mineral and energy
resources, deforestation, soil degradation etc.
Al the problems are a direct outcome of an incorrect understanding, our wrong notion about
happiness and prosperity and their continuity.
Q 27. Critically examine the prevailing notions of happiness in the society and their
consequences.
What is happiness and prosperity? Are they related to each other? Can happiness be
obtained without prosperity? Explain.
What is prosperity? Is it different from happiness?
What are the basic human aspirations? Explain. (MTU 2010 – 11)
What is the outcome when we try to identify relationship based on the exchange of physical
facilities?
ANS. Happiness may be defined as being in harmony/synergy in the state/ situation that I live
in. “A state or situation in which I live, if there is harmony in it then I like to be in that
state/situation. The state of liking is happiness.” Whereas prosperity is the “feeling of having or
making available more than required physical facilities”.
In the current scenario, we are generally trying to achieve happiness and prosperity by
maximizing accumulation and consumption of physical facilities. This is an attempt to achieve
happiness through pleasant sensory interactions. The physical facilities are not seen in terms of
fulfilling bodily needs but as a means of maximizing happiness.
This has resulted in wrong assessment of wants for physical facilities as being unlimited. But
this pursuit is self-defeating. Neither can we hope to achieve continuous happiness through
sensory interactions nor can we have prosperity, as it amounts to trying to fulfill unlimited
wants through limited resources. This effort is engendering problems at all the levels. It is
becoming anti-ecological and anti-people, and threatening the human survival itself. Some of
the consequences of such a trend are summarised below:
1 At the level of the individual – Rising problems of depression, psychological disorders,
suicides, stress, insecurity, psycho-somatic diseases, loneliness etc.
2 At the level of the family – Breaking of joint families, mistrust, conflict between older and
younger generations, insecurity in relationships, divorce, dowry tortures, family feuds, wasteful
expenditure in family functions etc.
3 At the level of the Society – Growing incidences of terrorism and naxalism, rising
communalism, spreading casteism, racial and ethnic struggle, wars between nations, attempts of
genocide, fear of nuclear and genetic warfare, etc.
4 At the level of nature – Global warming, water, air, soil, noise, etc. pollution, resource
depletion of minerals and mineral oils, sizeable deforestations, loss of fertility of soil. It
therefore, calls for an urgent need for human beings to correctly understand happiness and
prosperity as well as the sustainable way to achieve these.
Q 28. “Right understanding + Relationship = Mutual fulfilment; Right understanding +
Physical facilities = Mutual prosperity.” Illustrate the above with two examples for each.
How do right understanding, relationships and physical facilities help in fulfilling the
aspirations of human beings? Ans. Our basic aspirations are happiness (mutual fulfillment)
and prosperity (mutual prosperity). Happiness is ensured by the relationships with other human
beings and prosperity is ensured by working on physical facilities. Relationship refers to the
interpersonal relationships that a person builds in his/her life – at home, at the workplace and in
society. Physical Facilities includes the physiological needs of individuals and indicates the
necessities as well as the comforts of life. It means the feeling of having or being able to have
more physical facilities than is needed.
Today we are unable to have fulfilling relationships al the time: in family, outside family, and as a
society– in the world at large. If there is a problem in relationship, we feel uneasy, it bothers us. Even if
we are interacting with someone, and something we said or did of ends them, it makes us uneasy; i.e.
we want mutual fulfillment in relationship. Similarly, we want to feel prosperous, but end up working
only for accumulation of wealth. We want to enrich nature, but are exploiting it, destroying it. But our
natural acceptance is that we want to live in harmony with nature.
The reason behind these problems is that we have to focus on one more aspect, i.e. right understanding.
Right Understanding refers to higher order human skills – the need to learn and utilize our intelligence
most effectively.
In order to resolve the issues in human relationships, we need to understand them first, and this would
come from „right understanding of relationship‟. Similarly in order to be prosperous and to enrich
nature, we need to have the „right understanding‟. The „right understanding‟ will enable us to work out
our requirements for physical facilities and hence correctly distinguish the difference between wealth
and prosperity. With nature as well, we need to understand the harmony in nature, and how we can
complement this harmony.

Thus we can say that when we use right understanding with relationships it gives us mutual
fulfillment because if we have right understanding, then we can be happy in ourselves and work
to have fulfilling relationships with humans and mutual prosperity with nature. If we do not
have the right understanding, then we have problems. Thus, our happiness depends on the
fulfillment of these three basic requirements.
Right understanding + Relationship = Mutual
fulfillment. Right understanding + Physical
facilities = Mutual prosperity.
Q 11. Explain the process of self-exploration with a diagram.
“Process of self exploration leads to realization and understanding.” Explain with
example.
ANS. Self exploration is the process to find out what is valuable to me by investigating within myself,
what is right for
me, true for me, has to be judged within myself. Through self exploration we get the value of ourselves.
The process of
self exploration is a follows:
First of all we have to keep in mind that,
Whatever is being presented is a PROPOSAL.
Don‟t assume it to be true immediately, nor reject it without proper exploration.
Verify it in your own right, on the basis of it being naturally acceptable to you,
Not just on the basis of scriptures
Not on the basis of equipment/instrument data
Not on the basis of the assertion by other human beings.
Therefore, it is essential to carefully ponder over these on your own right. Neither accepts these as true
immediately nor
rejects them prematurely without proper exploration.
Don‟t just accept / reject these only on the basis of the following:
Because something like this/ different from this, has been mentioned in scriptures,
Or, because it has been preached/ denied by some great men,
Or, a large number of people posses such a view / a different view,

Or it is claimed to have been verified through some physical instrument or, claimed that this is beyond the
domain of
verifiability by physical instruments.
Then what to do
Verify on the basis of your natural acceptance
Live accordingly to validate it experientially
If the proposal is true in behaviour with human leads to mutual happiness
If the proposal is true in work with rest of the nature leads to mutual prosperity
Remember, it is a process of self- exploration, therefore, it has to be authenticated by us alone by means
of verification at
the level of natural acceptance and experiential validation. The process is shown in the diagram below:
But this process is not complete. It will be completed when on verification on the basis of natural
acceptance and testing
in our living ultimately results in „realization‟ and „understanding‟ in us.
Verify on the basis of your natural acceptance
Live accordingly to validate it experientially
o If the proposal is true in behaviour with human leads to mutual happiness
o If the proposal is true in work with rest of the nature leads to mutual prosperity
Results in realization and understanding
On having realization and understanding we get
o Asurance
o Satisfaction
o Universality (Applies to all time, space and individual)

Take for example: a proposal- „respect‟ is a value in human relation. When I verify at the level of
natural acceptance, I
find that it is naturally acceptable to me. Similarly, when I behave with respect, it is mutually
fulfilling to me and to the
other.
Thus the proposal is „True‟. If it fails on any of the two tests, it is untrue.
This verification leads to realization of the truthfulness of the proposal and it becomes part and parcel of my
understanding. It is reflected in my thoughts and in my behaviour.

harmony.

12. Programs promoting Sanyam and Health involve practices such as mindfulness, balanced
nutrition, regular exercise, and preventive healthcare measures. Practice sessions can explore
gratitude for others' contributions to material goods, differentiate between true prosperity and mere
accumulation, and strategize health promotion versus disease management.

Write a long note on different between body and self

Ans Sure, here's a detailed note on the differences between the body and the self:

The body and the self are two distinct yet interconnected aspects of human existence.
Understanding the differences between them sheds light on the complexity of human identity
and experience. Here are some key points to consider:

1. *Body:* The body refers to the physical aspect of an individual. It encompasses the
tangible, visible form that houses organs, tissues, and systems necessary for bodily functions.
The body is subject to physical sensations, movements, and changes over time. It serves as the
vessel through which individuals interact with the external world and experience life through
senses like touch, sight, taste, smell, and hearing.

2. *Self:* The self, on the other hand, pertains to the psychological, emotional, and subjective
aspects of a person. It includes one's thoughts, beliefs, emotions, memories, personality traits,
values, and sense of identity. The self is shaped by experiences, relationships, culture, and
personal growth. It encompasses the inner world of thoughts, feelings, and consciousness that
defines a person's unique perspective and sense of self-awareness.

3. *Physical vs. Psychological:* The primary distinction between the body and the self lies in
their nature. The body is physical, material, and observable, while the self is psychological,
emotional, and introspective. The body is finite and mortal, subject to biological processes and
external influences, whereas the self is complex, dynamic, and reflective of one's inner life
and sense of identity.

4. *Identity and Agency:* The body plays a crucial role in shaping one's physical identity,
appearance, and capabilities. It influences how individuals perceive themselves and are
perceived by others. The self, on the other hand, encompasses one's sense of self-awareness,
consciousness, and agency. It is the seat of personal identity, autonomy, and decision-making,
influencing how individuals think, feel, and act in the world.

5. *Interconnectedness:* Despite their differences, the body and the self are interconnected
and influence each other. Physical sensations, health, and well-being can impact one's
emotional state, mental health, and sense of self. Likewise, psychological factors such as
emotions, beliefs, and self-perception can affect the body through stress, psychosomatic
symptoms, and overall physical health.

6. *Integration and Holistic Well-being:* Achieving a balance between the body and the self
is essential for holistic well-being. Integrating physical health, mental well-being, emotional
intelligence, and spiritual growth

Write a long note on Energy and energy in equilibrium

Ans Energy is a fundamental concept in physics that describes the ability of a system to do
work or produce heat. It exists in various forms such as kinetic energy (energy of motion),
potential energy (stored energy), thermal energy (heat energy), and more. When considering
energy in equilibrium, we look at how energy is balanced within a system or between different
forms of energy. Here's a detailed note on energy and energy in equilibrium:

1. *Energy Forms:* As mentioned, energy can exist in different forms. Kinetic energy is
associated with motion, such as a moving car or a flowing river. Potential energy is stored
energy that can be converted into kinetic energy, like a stretched spring or an object at a
height. Thermal energy is the energy associated with the temperature of an object, while
chemical energy is stored in the bonds of molecules.

2. *Conservation of Energy:* One of the fundamental principles in physics is the conservation

of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one
form to another. In a system where no external forces are acting, the total energy remains
constant. This principle is crucial in understanding how energy behaves in equilibrium.

3. *Energy Equilibrium:* Energy equilibrium occurs when the energy within a system
remains constant over time. It means that the rate at which energy is transferred between
different forms is balanced, leading to a stable state. In a closed system, where no energy is
entering or leaving, energy equilibrium is reached when the system's total energy remains
constant.

4. *Thermodynamic Equilibrium:* In thermodynamics, a system is in thermal equilibrium

when all parts of the system are at the same temperature and there is no net flow of heat. This
state is essential for understanding how energy is distributed within a system and how it
influences the system's behavior.

5. *Dynamic Equilibrium:* In some systems, such as chemical reactions or biological

processes, energy equilibrium may involve dynamic processes where energy is constantly
being exchanged and transformed. Dynamic equilibrium occurs when the rates of energy
transfer are balanced, leading to a stable overall state despite ongoing changes at the
microscopic level.

Understanding energy and energy in equilibrium is crucial for various scientific disciplines,
from physics to chemistry to biology. By studying how energy is conserved, transformed, and
balanced within systems, scientists can unravel the underlying principles that govern the
behavior of the natural world. Energy equilibrium serves as a foundational concept in
explaining the stability and dynamics of physical systems and provides insights into the
intricate interplay of energy in the universe.
