 Understanding harmony in the Family- the basic unit of
human interaction (CO3)

Family is the Basic Unit of all Interaction

• Each of us is born into a family which includes a number of relationships.

• These relationships are the reality of our life.

• We recognize and identify these individuals.

• We share our feelings, tastes, interests and understanding with these people and
have an affinity for them.

 Understanding harmony in the Family- the basic unit of
human interaction (CO3)

Set of proposals to verify Harmony in the Family

• Relationship IS and it exists between the Self (‘I’) and the other Self (‘I’)

• The Self (‘I’) has feelings in a relationship. These feelings are between (‘I’) and (‘I’)

• These feelings in the (‘I’) are definite. i.e. they can be identified with definiteness

• Recognizing and Fulfilling these feelings lead to Mutual Happiness in a relationship

 Meaning of Nyaya and program for its fulfillment to ensure
Ubhay-tripti (CO3)

Justice is the recognition of values (the definite feelings) in relationship, their

fulfilment, the right evaluation of the fulfilment resulting in mutual happiness.

Justice concerns itself with the proper ordering of things and people within a society.

Four elements:
• Recognition of values,
• Fulfilment,
• Evaluation
• Mutual happiness ensured

05/13/2025 Shweta Sharma KOE069 : UHBC Unit-3 25

 Meaning of Nyaya and program for its fulfillment to ensure
Ubhay-tripti (CO3)
If the understanding of justice is ensured in the family

There will be justice in all the interactions we have in the world at large.

If we do not understand the values in relationships

(governed by our petty prejudices and conditionings)

We may treat people as high or low based on their body (particular caste, or sex or race or
tribe), on the basis of wealth one possesses or the belief systems that one follows.

All this is source of injustice and leads to fragmented society while our natural acceptance is for
an undivided society and universal human order.
05/13/2025 Shweta Sharma KOE069 : UHBC Unit-3 26
 Respect (Samman) as the foundational values of relationship
Understanding the meaning of Samman (CO3)

Respect means “ Right Evaluation”

We make mistakes in our evaluation in three ways:

•Over Evaluation

•Under Evaluation

•Otherwise Evaluation

 Respect (Samman) as the foundational values of relationship
Understanding the meaning of Samman (CO3)

The Basis for Respect

At the level of ‘I’, we are all similar , in terms of

•Our Basic Purpose(need and natural acceptance for happiness)

•Our program of action- which is to understand and live in harmony at all four levels
of our being

•Our capability/potential in terms of the activities in ‘I’.

By respecting you mean you are doing something special, because you are
special or have something special or are in some special position.

So , today we are differentiating in the name of respect.

 Trust (Vishwas) as the foundational values of relationship
(CO3)

Trust:

• Trust or vishwas is the foundational value in relationship.

“To be assured that each human being inherently wants oneself and the other to be
happy and prosperous.”

• If we have trust in the other, we are able to see the other as a relative and not as an
adversary.

• There are two aspects in trust:

i. Intention (wanting to – our natural acceptance)

ii. Competence (being able to do)

05/13/2025 Shweta Sharma KOE069 : UHBC Unit-3 33

 The other salient values in relationship (CO3)

Values/Feelings in Relationship

• Values are the backbone of health and happy family relations.

• These values lead to elimination of friction and establishment of total harmony in relationship
on long term basis.

• Values that are important in any relationship are:

1 Trust / Visvasa
2 Respect / Sammana
3 Affection / Sneha
4 Care / Mamata
5 Guidance / Vatsalya
6 Reverence / Shraddha
7 Glory / Gaurava
8 Gratitude / Kritagyata

 The other salient values in relationship (CO3)

2. Respect:

Respect means individuality.

The sense of individuality is prime object. This is the first basic step towards respect
(sammana).

Once we realized that we are individual then only we can see our self different from
others.

In other words, respect means right evaluation, to be evaluated as I am.

3. Affection:

Affection is the feeling of being related to the other.

Affection comes when I recognize that we both want to make each other happy and
both of us are similar.
05/13/2025 Shweta Sharma KOE069 : UHBC Unit-3 35
 The other salient values in relationship (CO3)

4. Care:

The feeling of care is the feeling to nurture and protect the body of our relative.

Or in other words a state of mind in which one is troubled; worry, anxiety, or concern is
called care.

5. Guidance:

The feeling of ensuring right understanding and feelings in the other (my relative) is
called guidance.

We understand the need of self (‘I’) for right understanding and feelings.

We also understand that the other is similar to me in his/her faculty of natural acceptance,
desire of wanting continuous happiness and the program of living in harmony at all the four
levels.
05/13/2025 Shweta Sharma KOE069 : UHBC Unit-3 36
 The other salient values in relationship (CO3)

6. Reverence:

The feeling of acceptance of excellence in the other is called reverence.

When we see that the other has achieved this excellence- which means to understand and to
live in harmony at all the levels of living ensuring continuity of happiness, we have a feeling
of reverence for him/her.

7. Glory:
Each one of us wants to live with continuous happiness and prosperity.

Each one of us has the similar faculty of natural acceptance, has the same goal and
program and we have the same potential to realize this.

Glory is the feeling for someone who has made efforts for excellence.

05/13/2025 Shweta Sharma KOE069 : UHBC Unit-3 37

 The other salient values in relationship (CO3)

8. Gratitude:

Gratitude is the feeling of acceptance for those who have made efforts for my excellence.

Gratitude is an emotion that occurs after people receive help, depending on how they interpret
the situation.

9. Love:

Love is the emotion of strong affection and personal attachment. In other words, love is
a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or
friend.

This feeling or value is also called the complete value since this is the feeling of relatedness to
all human beings. It starts with identifying that one is related to the other human being (the
feeling of affection) and it slowly expands to the feeling of being related to all human beings.
05/13/2025 Shweta Sharma KOE069 : UHBC Unit-3 38
 The other salient values in relationship (CO3)

 The above mentioned values are the core of all relations. One has to follow all to gain on
the day to day problems.

 These values are intrinsic and available in every person. We need to find out in ourselves
and implement.

 Without implementation, one cannot think of a strong family relation.

05/13/2025 Shweta Sharma KOE069 : UHBC Unit-3 39

 Difference between respect and differentiation (CO3)

Respect Differentiation
1. Respect is right evaluation. 1. Differentiation is lack of understanding of
respect.
2. Respect for others is generated by 2. This differentiation can take the form of:
the right evaluation and understanding o Gender bias
which leads to fulfilment in o Generation gap
relationships. This further creates a o Caste struggle
sense of respect among people o Power play and domination
o Communal violence
o Clash of race, religion, etc.
o class struggle,

3. This leads to the escalation in the problems of

society which further lowers the respect shown to
others in society.

1. When one does not have the right understanding, one remains disturbed and also
acts in a manner so as to create disharmony with other human being as well as with rest
of nature.

2. Prosperity in the family means that the family is able to identify its needs and is
able to produce/ achieve more than its requirements.

3. Trust in society means every member of society feels related to everyone else and
therefore there is trust and fearlessness.

4. Co-existence in nature means there is a relationship and complementarity among all

the entities in nature including human beings.

 Understanding the harmony in the society (society being an
extension of family): Samadhan, Samridhi, Abhay, Sah-

Right understanding in the individuals is the basis for harmony in the family, which is
the building block for harmony in the society.

1. The harmony in the society begins from the individual. We need to ensure right
understanding in the individual as the foundation of harmony in the society.

2. With right understanding, the need for physical facilities in the family can be
ascertained. By assessing our needs correctly and by producing more than required the
family can be prosperous.

3.Assurance of right understanding in the individuals and prosperity in the families,

understanding of human relationships leads to harmony and trust (fearlessness) in the
society. When every individual is able to live harmoniously in relationship, and the needs of
all the families are ensured, fearlessness (mutual trust) in society will naturally follow.

4.When human beings with right understanding interact with nature, it will be in
consonance with the coexistence and will be mutually enriching.

We may also understand it in the following sequence.

i. Right understanding
ii. Prosperity
iii. Fearlessness (trust)
iv. Co-existence

Education – Right Living: Education refers to understanding hormony at all four

levels of living. While right living refers to commitment and preparedness to live in
harmony at all four levels of living.

Health – Self Regulation: Sanyama refers to a feeling of responsibility for nurturing,

protecting and rightly utilizing the body. When the body is fit to act according to the
needs of the self (‘I’), and, there is harmony among the parts of the body, it is referred
to as health or svasthya.

We can now see how these five dimensions of humanistic society are able to ensure the
human goal:

Education – Right living leads to Right understanding

* Having the process of education and right living leads to right understanding in the
individual.

Health – Self-regulation leads to Prosperity

* Having the program for health and sanyam leads to well-being of the body, and
identification of need for physical facilities which along with production ensures feeling of
prosperity in the family.

Justice – Preservation leads to Fearlessness and Co-existence (respectively)

* Ensuring justice in relationship, or mutual fulfilment in relationship on the basis of

values like Trust, Respect, etc leads to fearlessness in society, while Suraksha of nature –
via enrichment, protection and right utilization leads to co-existence in nature.

Production – Work leads to Prosperity and Co-existence

* Production and work are for physical facilities, and this leads to a feeling of prosperity
in the family. Production is done in harmony with nature, and hence, this also leads to co-
existence with nature.

 Visualizing a universal harmonious order in society-
Undivided Society (Akhand Samaj) (CO3)

Akhand Samaj:-
•Akhand Samaj is the state of the society where all people of different religion and
thought process live together and work towards betterment of the society.

•The Akhand Samaj is achieved when every human-being realizes established-values

and expression-values. When we look at our India, we found that this nation is the
combination of different cultures.

•The country which is respected for its multi religious, multi linguistic and multi cultural
richness is suffering with dividedness. Divide and rule has different meaning in
preindependent India,

05/13/2025 Shweta Sharma KOE069 : UHBC Unit-3 52

 Visualizing a universal harmonious order in society-
Undivided Society (Akhand Samaj) (CO3)

However modern Indian vision is to have undivided society.

•Segregating people with gender – biased laws to protect only women questions the
equality before law.

•Perhaps this could be the reason why there is still too much segregation and
demoralization of sections in Indian society, until one can truly accept that all are equal
before law, nothing will change.

 Visualizing a universal harmonious order in society-
Undivided Society (Akhand Samaj) (CO3)

Roadblocks to Akhand Samaj:

The removal of the distinction between the sacred and the secular does not at all mean the
removal of the distinction between morality and immorality, between virtue and vice,
between truth and falsehood.

There is a universal moral law known as dharma governing both the sacred and secular
aspects of human life. The compelling power of yajna itself is derived from this law, and
any violation of it will destroy the sacrificial nature of life and will bring its own
retribution sooner or later.

There are following negative values that are the main cause for worry. These are the direct
roadblocks for Akhand Samaj:
Fear
 Hate
 Selfishness
 Egoism
 Humility

 Visualizing a universal harmonious order in society-
Undivided Society (Akhand Samaj) (CO3)

Steps towards Akhand Samaj:

It may be pointed out that all attempts at leading an integrated life and converting one’s
entire life into an undivided consecration will be only partially successful until the higher
unifying spiritual center known as buddhi or dhi awakens.

For this awakening intense aspiration and divine grace are prime requisites.
