Hindi D12 Human Being 2022 11 19
Channel: Universal Human Values
Date: 2022-11-19

Discussion
1. Human Being - as the co-existence of Self and Body
- the needs of the Self are of a different type from the needs of the Body
2. During the discussion, it emerged that there are three things: Dhyan, Dhyeya and Dhyata. 
- Dhyan is the process of paying attention, 
- Dhyeya is the object of attention and 
- Dhyata is the Self, the one who pays attention. 
The prime thing here is to identify the object of attention, i.e. harmony
3. There was also discussion on how the conditionings take place in a child in the family on various occasions, like birthday celebration, merry making etc. and what we can do now if the child has got pre-conditioned in different ways. Even, how we can define our program if the other members of the family are pre-conditioned.

Assignment for self-reflection
1. Observe that the needs of the Self and the Body are different (here the task is to observe and not just think)
2. Find out the major object of attention throughout the day.
You may note these observations in your journal.
3. While doing various activities throughout the day today, observe if you are paying attention largely to problems (what is not being done right outside in society) or if you are paying attention to your role in solving the problem. Observe that thoughts are going on continuously in you and that, along with every thought you are either happy ( comfortable) or unhappy ( uncomfortable) within. 
Any conclusion you could draw from this?
Write down your observations in your journal

Overall
Our basic aspiration is for Continuous Happiness and Prosperity.
There is plenty of information about it.

In this approximately 4-month long series, we are exploring into the question "Is Happiness our Innate Nature or an Influence from Outside"?

Participants have a keen interest in direct observation and realisation of what they have heard from various sources to bring it into living. They have participated in the Introductory workshop on Universal Human Values to develop the basic background required for this self-exploration.
