The Union in Existence - Chapter-11 of Manav Vyavhar Darshan

The Union in Existence - Chapter-11 of Manav Vyavhar Darshan
This is an attempt to translate chapter-11 - titled "योग" - of manav vyavhar darshan by Baba Shree A. Nagraj Sharma.

* Union in Existence is of two kinds - (1) Eternal, (2) Incidental.

* Attachment to Incidental-Union itself is the Root-cause of Illusion.

* Experience in Co-existence (upon awakening), Experience rooted Thoughts (upon awakening), and Experience rooted Behaviour (upon awakening) are as "Eternal Union" (in jeevan).

* Incidental-Union is of two kinds - (1) Homogeneous (2) Heterogeneous.

* Incidental-Union of two entities of same kind is Homogeneous-Union. Incidental-Union of two entities of different kinds is Heterogeneous-Union.

* An entity of nature progresses (towards awakening) or declines only because of incidental-unions.

* Incidental-Union that results in Progress is called Favourable-Union (or Coincidence). Incidental-Union that results in Decline is called Unfavourable-Union.

* Human-being who realizes the Experience in Truth, with Dharma based Thinking, and with Justice based Behaviour is in Divine-Consciousness; Human-being who (is with Experience in Truth and) realizes Dharma based thinking and Justice based Behaviour is in Godly-Consciousness; Human-being who (is with Experience in Truth and) realizes Justice based Behaviour is in Human-Consciousness; and Human-being who is with Thinking and Behaviour of Injustice due to attachments of Illusion is in Animal-Consciousness.

* One who wastes something, will naturally lose it.

* Human-being wastes its power, intelligence, looks, position and wealth due to its attachment to illusion.

* The necessary principle for humankind is "conservation of humanness" - which is justice. Adherence to this principle leads to emergence of perfect-harmony. Conversely, the unnecessary principle for humankind is "exploitation of humanness" - which is injustice. Adherence to this principle leads to emegence of disharmony.

* Non-accumulation, Affection, Wisdom, Spontaneity, Trust, and Restraint in Speech and Thought leads to Intellectual-Harmony. Physical-relationship in the purview of Marriage, Rightfully earned Wealth, and Kindness leads to Behavioural-Harmony.

On the contrary - Accumulation, Hatred, Unwisdom, Pretention, Fear, and Unrestraint in Speech and Thought leads to Intellectual-Disharmony. Immorality, Wrongfully accumulated Wealth, and Cruelty leads to Behavioural-Disharmony.

* Human-being experiences happiness or sorrow based on its adherence or non-adherence to necessary-principle.

* The strengthening or weakening of entire relationships and contacts, objects and subjects, forms and intents happens as human-being lives the principle of co-existence. A human-being's recognizing and understanding the distinction between necessary and unnecessary principles for humanness is called study in co-existence, and implementing the necessary principles at all levels of one's living is self-realization.

* A human-being can be recognized to be living at the level of individual, family, society, state, nation, and inter-nation. Another way to recognize levels is - individual, family, undivided-society, and universal-orderliness. Third way of recognizing levels is as ten-staged human-orderliness, with family as initiation of knowledge-based natural human-organization.

* The necessary principle for human-living is Justice. Justice is a manifestation of Dharma. Dharma is a manifestation of Truth. Basis of Truth is Coexistence. Experience in Coexistence itself is Bliss. Bliss is the state of an Awakened-Self. Awakening of human-self is the necessary-principle for humane tradition. This is the plane of awakened human-living. Such living is good for human-being.

* Jeevan's progression towards awakening is its living with desire to live, and continuously working towards the objective of attaining awakening.

* The unnecessary principle for human-living is Injustice. Injustice itself is absence of Dharma. Absence of Dharma itself is Untruth. Untruth itself is disharmony. Disharmony itself is Sorrow. Sorrow itself is Animal-Consciousness. Animal-Consciousness is unnecessary-principle for humankind. Animal-Consciousness is the plane of illusion - which is bad for humankind.

* Universally realizable rule at the level of Society is called Principle. Principle when realizing at the level of human-made systems is called Justice. Justice when realized at international-level as resolved-policies is called Dharma. Dharma when realized at universal-level is called Truth. Truth when realized at the level of infinite universes is called God and Co-existence. Human-being's experiencing God's Presence is called Bliss. Bliss brought into human-behaviour is called Awakened Living.

* Happiness, Peace, Contentment, and Bliss - are four states of Happiness.

* Principles that strengthen the four states of happiness are necessary. Principles that weaken the four states of happiness are unnecessary. Entire humankind is awaiting, expecting, experimenting, and effortful for experience of happiness.

* The principle of humane-conduct is called Justice, Natural-state and progressive behaviour is called Dharma, Reality is called Truth, Pervasive Space is called God, Omni-dimensional Resolution is called Bliss, Adherence to necessary-principles is Awakened Living, Absolute power is called Space.

* Atma has the possibility of experiencing the Lord of the World; Buddhi and Chitta has the possibility of Seeing the World; Vritti and Mun have the possibility of doing Behaviour with Justice.

* Intellectual-state devoid of doubt and illusion is called Complete-Resolution; Willfull inner and outer behaviour is called Conduct; and Universally realizable rule is called Principle.

* Uncertainty is called Doubt, and Unreal is called Illusion.
