Some Implications on Health 1. It is the Self(I) that has the prime role in keeping the body healthy. We need to take care of both the health of the body as well as understanding in the self A large number of diseases are psychosomatic in nature Many disorders are related to lack of understanding of a healthy lifestyle 2. The Self(I) and the feeling related to the self are significant, so we will be able to take into account the feelings while providing care Today many of the complaints are related to the lack of feeling The major issue of exploitation for profit will be handled 3. We would be able to make right utilisation of physical facility If happiness is sought through sensation alone – continuity of happiness can not be ensured – the body is harmed due to excessive consumption or over indulgence to get favourable sensation Today over eating, consumption of "junk food" etc. is common 6

Happiness (Harmony) Within – Pure Self, Human Consciousness Happiness (Harmony) Within Right Understanding harmony at all levels of being (human being, family, society, – in Self (I) nature/existence) Right Feeling Trust, Respect, Affection, Care, Guidance, Reverence, Glory, Gratitude, Love – in Self (I) 10

Health of the Body Harmony of the self(I) with the body The self(I) takes responsibility for the body (for nurturing, protection and right utilisation of the body) The body is in harmony 1. The body acts according to the instruction of the self(I) 2. The parts of the body are in harmony 14

Program for Health of the Body Sanyam in the Self (I): Feeling of responsibility toward the body – for Nurturing, Protection and Right Utilization of the Body Program for Sanyam 1 a. Intake 2 a. Labour 3 a. Balancing internal & external organs of body (asana) 4 a. Medicine 1 b. Daily routine 2 b. Exercise 3 b. Balancing breathing of body (pranayam) 4 b. Treatment Health in the Body 1. Body acts according to Self (I) 2. Parts of the body are in harmony (in order) 1 a. Intake includes air, water, sunlight, food (food is nutritious 1, digestible 2 & tasty 4 and waste is excretable 3)… 1 b. Rising time, sleeping time, eating time… 2 a. Outcome of labour is production of physical facility 2 b. No physical facility is produced by exercise 15

Intake Air, water, sunlight, food (nutritious 1, digestible 2 & tasty 4 and waste is excretable 3) … 1. Ayurved & other traditional knowledge systems have done extensive work on this 2. Modern science has also worked on this e. g. Dr. Colin Campbell (see The China Study, Forks over Knives documentary, Plant Pure Nation documentary) 3. Problems with nutrition (much documentation on this, like Food Inc. documentary, Cowspiracy documentary) Areas of Research 1. Healthy human intake 2. Form of nutrients for efficient & healthy absorbtion (e. g. Vitamin C tablet and lemon juice) 16

Daily Routine Rising time, sleeping time, eating time… in harmony with nature 1. Traditional knowledge systems have done extensive work on the daily routine in synchronisation with the natural cycles. The base is that human body is material and the material world has an impact on the material body 2. Modern science has also worked on this 3. Problems with daily routines, skewed by the assumption that human life is for sense enjoyment Areas of Research 1. Healthy human routine 2. Problems due to unhealthy daily routines (like on people working rotating shifts at work, or people working in night shift) 17

The Human Biological Clock – In Harmony with Nature (as per Ayurved) 18

Medicine Integrated Medicine 1. Traditional systems have evolved to some point wit the base that human body is self-organised and has the capacity for self-healing 2. Modern science has also worked on this, but the assumption may be that the human body has to be helped in order to heal quickly 3. There is a feeling of opposition between practitioners of different forms of medicine Areas of Research 1. Mind (consciousness), brain (material) and their interaction 2. The meaning of health of the self(I) & the program for it 3. Approach toward understanding health and collaboratively working on ensuring holistic human health 19

Some Indicators of Progress toward Universal Human Order 1. Index of Understanding: % of Population with Right Understanding e. g. % individuals who live in response (who facilitate right understanding & relationship in others) vs reaction (who do get irritated, angry, quarrel etc. ), % people with feeling of Sanyam 2. Index of Prosperity: % of Prosperous Families e. g. families that have recognised their need for physical facility and produce/have more than their need, % people with healthy body 3. Index of Fearlessness (Trust): % of People you have Trust on their Natural Acceptance – Unconditionally, Continuously 4. Index of Sustainability (Co-existence): Enrichment of Nature e. g. Right Utilisation of Physical Facility, Air Quality, Water Table, Water Quality, Average Annual Improvement of Soil Quality, Definiteness in Weather 26

Health System in a Human Society (Research Required) Individual Family cluster Village cluster / city … Nation … World Developing right understanding and right feeling (human consciousness), lifestyle based on human consciousness, exercise Intake, daily routine, noticing & handling bad habits Asan, pranayam Medicine Health education, environment, labour, treatment Proliferation of good practices Humane culture, civilisation, tradition At each level, ensure harmony (or at least ensure that there is no contradiction) with the other aspects of human existence, with family, society, nature/existence [for this a holistic perspective is required] 28

Health of the Environment Areas of Research 1. Attitude of care givers when they develop the clarity of human purpose and the right feelings (trust, respect, affection, care & guidance) 2. Socio economic impact on working for health (vs disease) - intake, lifestyle… for health If human intake, lifestyle… is incompatabile with current lifestyles, then what are the options? If there are fewer sick people, how will the medical establishment survive/profit? The GDP will also decline – is that we want? 3. Understanding & learning in an environment where the teacher/parent has the right feelings (trust, respect, affection, care & guidance) and the student/child is also developing the right feelings (glory & gratitude) versus in an environment where there is domination on the part of the teacher/parent and opposition on the part of the student/child 4. Health system in a human society (people living with human consciousness) and the steps for reaching this system from where we are now 5. Handling the expansion in the scope of concern – from just the body to the self, family, society and nature 29

Current State

Where are we Today? Many advances in healthcare… improvement in protection from communicable diseases… diagnostics… longer lifespans… 31

Yet, We are in a Crisis Today – Problems are Increasing. . . At the level of the individual – rising problems of depression, psychological disorders, suicides, stress, insecurity, trauma, health problems, loneliness. . . At the level of the family – breaking of joint families, mistrust and insecurity in relationships, divorce, family feuds, legal suits. . . 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. . . At the level of nature – global warming, water, air, soil, noise pollution, resource depletion of minerals and mineral oils, sizeable deforestations, loss of fertility of soil. . . 32

About the Problems There is a lot of material available about the problems at every level 33

Current State – Have we understood our Goal?

Health The state of being free from illness or injury – Oxford English Dictionary A state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity – WHO 1948 35

36

Where are we Today? Is healthcare accessible to all or only to a privileged few? Who is taking the responsibility for health? Doctors, hospitals, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies? (all of these stand to profit/ gain when individuals are unhealthy) or Individuals have motivation and competence to stay healthy? 37

Where are we Today? Is the focus on disease? or Is the focus on prevention (primary, secondary, tertiary prevention)? Is the effort for managing lifestyle ailments, for life? or Is the effort for cure (eg. hypertension, diabetes) ? Are we looking at health holistically or primarily at physical health? Is the emphasis on body even when we deal with mental health? 38

Limits to Growth, The Club of Rome, 1972 The Club of Rome publishes "Limits to Growth". The report is extremely controversial because it predicts dire consequences if there is not a slowdown of "growth" (throughput of raw materials from nature) in 50 years (by 2022): 1. Environmental breakdown 2. Breakdown of human relationship – wars 3. Mental breakdown By 2016 1. Global atmospheric CO 2 > 400 PPM (normal 300 PPM); 2016 was hottest year in India’s recorded history (>51 degrees C) 2. Over 50% tax money spent globally on preparing for war 3.

Is Our Perspective Matching the Existential Reality? What is our perspective, our fundamental assumptions? about human being about human purpose about happiness… Unknowingly, the prevalent perspective is: a) Human being = body b) Existence = material c) Purpose of human being is to enjoy (through sensation and getting feeling from other human beings) Perspective / Assumptions Thoughts Actions 47

Some Implications of Assuming Human Being = Body Happiness is sought through § sensation (through the body) § getting the right feeling (respect…) from the other As a result § The body is harmed due to excessive consumption or over indulgence to get favourable sensation § Continuity of happiness can not be ensured § There is a major impact on family, society, nature… e. g. Over eating, consumption of "junk food" etc. is common A large number of diseases are psychosomatic in nature Many of the complaints are related to the lack of feeling The environment (family, society, nature…) is exploited / is not a major concern 48
