1. Our purpose is the same since our Natural Acceptance is the same:
2. As I want to be and remain continuously happy, so does the other.
3. Our purpose is the same: My purpose is to live happily throughout.
4. Understanding and living in Harmony at all levels, so it is for the others.
Capacity (khsamta) is the same: I have the ability to understand (samajh) and so does the other. As I
continuously operate in the form of Desire, Thought & Selection, same is with others.
5. The difference is only at the level of Understanding (not just information):
• If the other has Better Understanding than Me, I need to understand from the other.
• If the other has Lesser Understanding than Me, I accept the responsibility to improve the
Understanding of the other.
H.4 Grave Mistake in evaluating human being
Human being is a coexistence of Self and Body. The needs of Body and those of the Self are different. The
activities of the Body and those of the Self are also different. But we evaluate human beings based on body or
society:
• based on rupa (body): e.g. race, color, size, gender
• based on bala (body): e.g. physical strength
• based on pada : e.g. position
• based on dhan : e.g. wealth, money
• based on beliefs: e.g. based on caste, religion, ideology, and any other beliefs.
In the process, one totally ignores the Self. This is a Grave Mistake and Disrespect to human being. It has
led to differentiation among human beings on the basis of race, nationality, caste, religion, ideology etc.
and is the prime cause of conflict.
Assignment H.1
Narrate five interactions you had with others and check whether you had evaluated them based on 5 wrong
properties i.e. rupa, bala, pada, dhana & buddhi.
