1. Human Values
This chapter describes about the human values. It includes various points which are related to our values ,which are as follows:
Mind Must Back Sense Organs For simple perpetual knowledge the sense organs by themselves are not the Pramana. When all factors including the mind are present knowledge takes place.
UNIVERSAL VALUES
Values indicates the regard for a thing, situation , or attitude which for some reason is esteemed or prized by the value holder. The appropriate values which prepare the mind for Vedanta are certain universal ethical attitudes. In Sanskrit ethical value can be define as Dharma. Dharma is a norm of conduct derived from the way in which I wish others to view or treat me.
Reductionist View
This is a thought based on the Western worldview. It is fundamentally of a material nature a complex phenomenon which can be understood breaking it down into its basic material components. In this human consciousness is not primary rather it is the result of the material entities. Any change in the behavior of human needs to be sought in stimulus-response terms, in behavior mod terms and in terms of schedule of reinforcement.
Humanistic Views
This Holds that individual human experience is quite unique and must be studied and valued in its own right rather than reducing it to any sort of components. It is inferior to any other phenomenon. While no universal consciousness is recognized, it is held that each human being is motivated toward actualizing one's potentials. It is concerned with what the upper limits of normal human functioning are, and how normal human can fully realize their upper limits. Quality such as creativity, empathy assertiveness are held to be important for a satisfactory and meaningful life.
Dualistic Thought
The Dualistic thought is based on the assumption that the universe is fundamentally made up of interacting complimentary qualities. Both materialistic phenomena and consciousness exist as fundamental duality. The individualized consciousness is evolving toward a more complete experience of transcendent consciousness. To the extent that individualized involves itself with the material phenomena, it will experience a mixture of pleasure and pain.
Monistic Thought
The monistic thought begins with the assumption that there is only one fundamental principle, consciousness. The monistic paradigm premises simply that unitary consciousness is all that exist. It also accepts that power distances are only apparent that there are cause effect chains that one has to suffer the consequences of one's conduct that ignorance is the cause of erroneous behavior, not evil nature that the present or here is as important a determinant of the present.
7. Human Excellence Through Education At the end Swami Ji says that worlds breathe the spirit of universality and human unity, the spirit of the modern world that trends towards a mankind awareness and international peace. He prays that all will be happy, may all be free from physical or mental problems, may all experience is good and may none be subject to suffering.
