The. Human Being is a co-existence of self and body
The response of the body is definite
The response of the self depends on assuming 
If the assuming/acceptance is with knowing, the response of the self can be definite
If the assuming/acceptance is without knowing, the response of the self is indefinite
(as an example, there was discussion about the use of certain types of clothes on some special occasions like marriage, celebration etc. It came out that there could be two ways in which make selection of clothes on such occasions: 
1. To get favorable feeling from others which is partantrata, being enslaved
2. To utilize the facilities to share feeling of respect with the other, with a feeling of generosity which is swatantrata, being self-organized
In the first case, there is no definiteness of feeling, and we are not comfortable within. In the second case, there is definiteness of feeling, and we feel comfortable within. Also, we try to develop the competence of others so that the dependence of others on physical facilities for happiness comes down)
