SLIDE 2

Are desires unlimited (or they are continuous?)

SLIDE 3

2. Categorize: Need of I and Need of Body

Make a list of Your desires Categorize each desire as Need of I or Need of Body Some needs will be for both I and for Body – you can reflect on what is the primary need E.g. Food for nurturing – need of Body for taste – need if I House for protection – need of Body House to show others, to get respect – need of I Q: What is the % of desires that are needs of I, % of needs of Body? Q: % Effort for PF? % Effort for RU & RF? Q: Re-evaluate the program to fulfill needs of I. PF can only fulfill needs

f the Body

SLIDE 4

2. Categorize: Needs of I and Need of Body

Human Being = Coexistence of Self (I) and Body Activities of desire, thought & expectation are going on in the Self (I) These activities are continuously going on. I can see this within myself Some of these are related to needs of the Body and some or related to the needs of the Self (I). We can distinguish between these two Most of the desires, thoughts & expectations are related to the needs of the self Most of the effort is for physical facility More effort on right understanding & right feeling in oneself is required

SLIDE 5

2. Categorize: Need of I and Need of Body

About 10% desires are needs of the Body About 90% desires are needs of Self(I) About 10% effort is for Right Understanding & Relationship About 90% effort is for Physical Facility Most of the desires are of needs of Self(I) Most of the effort is for Physical facility Physical Facility can fulfill only needs of the Body… … There is a mismatch between desire and effort … What is the effort required to balance this?

SLIDE 6

2. Categorize: Need of I and Need of Body – Effort

Sanskar (t+1) = Fn [Sanskar (t), Environment (t), Self Exploration (t)] Proposal Self Study, Self Verification

Listening (with comitment, concentration, listening to get the sense

in which the speaker is indicating, not comparing with pre- conditioning)

Self-Exploration (to see the reality indicated by the words, to refer

to your natural acceptance) Right Understanding & Right Feeling in the Self (I)

Your Desire, Thought, Expectation

is guided by your own Natural Acceptance

SLIDE 7

3. Categorise: Preconditioning, Sensation and Natural Acceptance

Reflect on its underlying assumption

Eg. Nice house
Nice = comparatively better than other houses – preconditioning
Nice = luxurious – sensation
Nice = provides protection for body – natural acceptance

SLIDE 8

3. Categorise: Preconditioning, Sensation and Natural Acceptance

Preconditioning: Assuming without knowing. Depends on something or someone outside, keeps changing. Not sure it leads to harmony or contradiction. Sensation: taste of sound, touch, sight, taste, smell, 4 topics: food, sleep, fear/security, sex (samvedna – shabd, sparsh, roop, ras, gandh, 4 vishay: ahar, nidra, bhay, maithun)

tasty-necessary  tasty-unnecessary  tasteless-unnecessary  intolerable

Natural Acceptance: About meaning (sarthakta), Purpose or what to do as a human being. Leads to harmony (happiness) within, continuity is desirable, possible 1. Assurance (Ashwasti) – I am clear this is what I want to do 2. Satisfaction (Tripti) – I am sure that this will lead to harmony 3. Universal (Sarvbhaum) – It is same for all Q: % Preconditioning, % Sensation and % Natural Acceptance

SLIDE 9

Natural Acceptance About meaning (sarthakta), purpose or what to do as a human being. Leads to harmony (happiness) within, continuity is desirable, possible For Relationship [Mutual fulfillment, complimentarity] For Harmony [Nature is by way of harmony, mutual enrichment] For Co-existence [Existence is Co-existence, is ever present] 1. Assurance (Ashwasti) – I am clear this is what I want to do 2. Satisfaction (Tripti) – I am sure that this will lead to harmony 3. Universal (Sarvbhaum) – It is same for all About What to Do (Not about How to Do)

SLIDE 10

3. Categorise: Preconditioning, Sensation and Natural Acceptance

Human Being = Coexistence of Self (I) and Body Activities of desire, thought & expectation are going on in the Self (I) These activities are continuously going on. I can see this within myself These activities are motivated by preconditioning, sensation and natural acceptance Most of the desires, thoughts & expectations are motivated by preconditioning and sensation; and to that extent I am partantra My natural acceptance is for swatantra. Partantrata is not naturally acceptable to me To be swatantra, effort is required to understand my natural acceptance and be motivated/guided by it

SLIDE 11

3. Categorise: Preconditioning, Sensation and Natural Acceptance

About 5% desires are based on Natural Acceptance About 60% desires are based on Preconditioning About 35% desires are based on Sensation If most of the Needs are based on Preconditioning or Sensation, then one is living mostly in Partantrata Effort required for swatantrata: a) Self awareness b) Evaluation of desire on the basis of your natural acceptance If desire is naturally acceptable, it will become definite & continue otherwise it will slowly become corrected or drop off
