Holistic view of Existence · The Existence is units in Space. · The units are of two types: · 1. Material (jarh) · 2. Consciousness(chaitanya) · The Material units (jarh) are transformable, and their composition keeps on changing, hence these are gathansheel. · The Consciousness (Chaitanya) do not transform and are complete in composition, hence gathanpurna.

Slide 10 of 25 10

Holistic view of Existence · The material units are changeful with activities of recognizing and fulfillment only, while the other kind of units are continuous with activities of knowing, assuming, recognizing and fulfillment. · The material (jarh) units are available in two orders· 1. Material Order. · 2. Pranic Order. · In the material order, an atom combines with another atom to form a molecule. · A molecule forms a molecular structure. Molecular structures are found in two forms: Lumps and fluids. Slide 11 of 25 11

Holistic view of Existence · Fluid give nutrition to Pranic Order. · In Pranic Order, the smallest units are plant cells which combine with other cells to form plants, animal bodies and human bodies. Slide 13 of 25 13

Slide 14 of 25 14

Holistic view of Existence · The co-existence of 'I' with the animal body becomes the Animal Order, and the co-existence of 'I with the Human body becomes the Human Order. · Completion of right understanding in human being is called Kriyapurnata and ability to live with complete understanding is called Acharanpurnata. Slide 15 of 25 15

Slide 16 of 25 16

Holistic view of Existence · If we look at the left side of the chart, the transformation keeps taking place and the transformation is cyclic in nature. · But on the right hand side, the transitions are acyclic. · This implies that we have understood continues to stay with us. We will never miss it. This is a transition in one direction. This is actually called Development (Vikas). Slide 17 of 25 17

Now we can see that… Happiness is an indicator, a feedback, that we - have understood harmony and at all 4 levels of our being - live in harmony Unhappiness is an indicator, a feedback, that we - have not understood harmony and/or at one or more of the 4 levels of our being - do not live in harmony Our role is to make the effort - to understand harmony and - to live in harmony at all 4 levels of our being 1. 2. 3. 4. In the Self, as an Individual In Family In Society In Nature/Existence This is our role in existence … Slide 19 of 25 19

So we can go back and ask ourselves once again… • Is Nature/Existence self organized or is it a chaos? • Is struggle inherent in Nature/Existence? • Is there survival of the fittest in Nature/Existence? • Have we understood our self? • Have we recognised our needs correctly? • Have we recognised our goal as a human being; as a society correctly? • Or have we assumed it to be something other than what it really is? And we are living with some wrong assumptions! • The answers are within ourselves… All we need to do is to make the effort to understand… Slide 20 of 25 20

Program for Human Being (Our Role in Existence) Human beings have two important things to do: 1. To understand the co-existence 1. 1. To understand co-existence – Knowledge (Gyan) 1. 2. To ensure the feeling, thought of co-existence – Resolution (Samadhan) 2. To live in co-existence 2. 1. To live in relationship with human-beings –family to world family – Undivided Society (Akhand Samaj) 2. 2. To live in co-existence in nature –family order to world family order – Universal Human Order (Sarvbhaum Vyavastha) By these two being ensured by human beings, the result will be Undivided Society and Universal Human Order on Earth, in which Harmony and peace are very natural outcomes (and there is every provision in Existence for it) Slide 21 of 25 21

Universal Human Order: Dynamics Conduct that ensures continuity of mutual Happiness (Happiness, Peace, Satisfaction, Bliss) Human Conduct Human Constitution Universal Human Order Nature of society of people living with Human Conduct Human Order Slide 24 of 25 Education that ensures the development of the competence to live with Definite Human Education Conduct Starting Pt. The society in which Human Goal is realised 24

Summary of Lecture - 21 & 22 • Existence is in the form of co-existence. It is ever present • (Existence = Co- Existence = Units submerged in Space) • This is the key to the Holistic perception. • Every unit in existence is related with every other unit in existence in a mutually fulfilling manner. • Synergy is intrinsic to existence, harmony is inherent in existence – we do not have to create it, we do not have to construct it • The role of Human Being is to realize this co-existence, this harmony, this order in existence – For this, all that human beings need to do is: • To understand the inherent harmony, the co-existence in existence • To live accordingly – to live with the feeling of harmony or coexistence (and there is every provision in existence for living in co-existence) Slide 25 of 25 25
