society, nature/existence)
11
Goal of this Course (UHV-III)
1. To explore the human reality (its being, basic aspiration, its
fulfilment), particularly the Self, in more depth
− Self is central to human existence

2. To explore deeper into the nature and existence as co-existence

− co-existence is central to existence
− everything that we see in nature and existence is the natural
expression and unfolding of this co-existence

3. To understand the role of human being in further detail, in the light of

the above
− To understand the co-existence
− To have the feeling and the thought of co-existence
− To live in co-existence in mutual relation with human being and the
rest of nature
12
Our Purpose & Program depends on Assumption/ Understanding
about:
In UHV-II, we have seen that knowingly or unknowingly, we have
assumed some purpose in life and we have some program for the
fulfillment of the set purpose.

This setting up of the purpose and program depends upon our

assumptions about:
1. Human Being
2. Existence

We had some assumptions about these two before UHV-II

And now these assumptions have been modified through the process of
self-exploration that we went through in the UHV-II course.

Let us look at some details of this shift in our assumptions/

understanding.

13
Shift 1
UHV-II is focused on:
1. To initiate the process of self-exploration in you
2. The realization that human being is co-existence of Self and
Body
Which in turn leads to the following shift in perception
Assumption: ‘Human Being is Knowing: ‘Human Being is
UHV-II
Body’ coexistence of Self and Body’
Purpose: Expectation to live with Purpose: Desire to live with
continuous happiness (effort to be continuous happiness (effort to be
made outside and not within – I am OK, made within and then outside)

15
UHV-III is designed for the further shift
The focus of UHV-III is to help for the second shift to take place, i.e. to
see that:
‘The Self (I) is central to human existence
Body is used as an Instrument'
Need of Human being is continuous happiness [Need of the Self(I)]
Which is fulfilled by

1. Understanding co-existence [Activity of Self(I)]

2. Feeling & thought of co-existence
This is expressed naturally in the form of

1. Mutually fulfilling behavior with human being

2. Mutually enriching work with rest of nature
3. Participation in larger order
leading to undivided society and universal human order

Understanding through UHV-III
Realising:
‘The Self (I) is central to human existence

− Desire of Human being is for
continuous happiness (to be in harmony) – Need of Self(I)
− Which is fulfilled by – Activity of Self(I)
1. Understanding of co-existence
2. Feeling and thought of co-existence

Two important points to be noted are:

1. The need for the feeling of prosperity is a part of being in a state of
continuous happiness (to be in harmony at all levels)
2. Expression in mutual relation with human being and rest of nature, in
terms of behaviour and work, is a natural outcome of understanding of
co-existence and feeling & thought of co-existence

Lecture 3:
Recapitulation from UHV-II –
Basic Human Aspiration
and its Fulfilment
Our Exploration and Understanding from HVPE (UHV-II)
The foundation course in HVPE is a prerequisite for this course.

Therefore, before we proceed, let us recall some of the basic concepts

(relating to certain basic realities) that we have explored in the HVPE
(UHV-II) course and which are going to be used and further developed
in this course.

26
Basic Human Aspiration and its Fulfillment
1. The basic human aspiration is for continuity of happiness and
prosperity

2. This is fulfilled by living in human consciousness, by ensuring

right understanding, right feeling and physical facility

3. Transformation from animal consciousness to human

consciousness is ensured through human education-sanskar

4. Living with human consciousness provides the base for ensuring

justice and order leading to undivided society and universal human
order.

Lecture 4:
Recaptulation from UHV-II –
Understanding about Human Being
and Existence
Introduction
In this session, we wll try to recaptulate our understanding about
1. Human Being &
2. Existence
particularly, of those aspects which are of immediate concern in this
course, i.e. aspects which we are going to investigate in further depth.

The Concluding Observation of this session is:

The most important part in ensuring harmony in human being and
human conduct is
Ensuring Right understanding & Right feeling in the self i.e.
Self is Central to Human Existence
Which we are going to discuss in the next lecture

Having recalled the basic understanding about

The Concluding Observation of this session is:

The most important part in ensuring harmony in human being and
human conduct is

Ensuring Right understanding & Right feeling, thought in the self

i.e.

This is what we are going to elaborate in the next lecture &

 Self Body
Consciousness INFORMATION Material
Instruction
Sensation

Transaction between the Self and the Body-

▪The Self is giving some Instruction to the Body e.g. get up, walk etc.
▪The Self is reading some Sensation from the Body e.g. sensation of pain,
etching etc.

Instruction is an information given by the Self and

Sensation is an information received by the Self

Hence,
The transaction between the Self and the Body is only of information
(no material transaction is taking place)

Decision for transaction-

▪ The decision to send instruction to the Body is made by the Self
▪ The decision to read sensation from the Body is made by the Self

The decision for every transaction is made by the Self

54
I am the Seer
“Seer” means the one that sees / understands

e.g. If you are given something in your hand and you conclude that it is
a pen, it is not your eyes that concluded this. It is you that concluded
this. The Self sees via the eyes – the eyes don’t see themselves

Like that all the 5 senses are just the instruments that enable the
Self to see something outside

Just like you see outside, you can also see ‘within’, without using the
sensation in the body as a means to see
e.g. You can ‘see’ that you are feeling happy, getting angry...

Thus, it is the Self who ‘sees’ or understands, sometimes with the

help of the body, sometimes without the help of body

In the process of seeing, the Body is used as an instrument

55
I am the Doer
“Doer” means the one that does, who takes decision to do

Self is the one who decides. Self decides what to do, what not to do...

the body is used to express the decision of the self, If required

e.g. Self instructs the body to walk and body walks

However,
Self may or may not use the body to execute its decision
e.g. what I think is my decision. I do that thinking within myself (there is
no role of the body in this)

The Body is used as an instrument, as and when required

56
I am the Enjoyer (Experiencer)

“Enjoyer” means the one that experiences happiness /

unhappiness

I am the one that feels enthused or depressed. I am the one that

feels angry or delighted...

I am the enjoyer, the experiencer

59
Sum Up
The need of the Self is continuous happiness
For this, the program of the Self is:

To understand harmony & at all levels of being

To live in harmony
1. As an individual, human being
2. As a member of the family
3. As a member of society
4. As an unit in nature/existence
Human Being is co-existence of Self and Body
Self is the seer, doer and enjoyer–
it is central to human existence

Understanding of harmony, feeling of harmony is at the level of Self

The Body is used as an instrument of the Self

The transaction between Self and Body is only in the form of information, and is decided by the self
