Freedom from Conflict - (part-2)

Freedom from Conflict - (part-2)
This is continuation of attempt to translate chapter-10 - titled "क्लेश मुक्ति" - of manav vyavhar darshan by Baba Shree A. Nagraj Sharma.


* Not doing the "unworthy of doing" and accepting the "worthy of doing" begets freedom from unnecessary. This itself is modesty. All acts out of illusion cause conflict. All acts out of "awakening" cause harmony.

* Modesty is unattraction to illusion. Inhuman-ness is "unworthy of doing" for a human-being. Not doing the "unworthy of doing" itself is Modesty.

* Unattachment is being free from unvaluation, under-valuation, and over-valuation.

* An entity of nature can never be devoid of activity. Therefore - the efforts of trying to avoid activity by human-being is the flaw of escapism.

definitions:

1. Escapism:- Trying to avoid one's duties is escapism. Escapism is out of laziness or ignorance.
2. Laziness:- Laziness is not doing an activity despite being aware that it is "worthy of doing".
3. Ignorance:- The state of not having the required knowledge for doing the activity that is "worthy of doing".

* Unattachment is partial or complete. Unattachment is partial in "normal" category of humankind. Unattachment is complete in "divine" category of humankind.

* Inert-nature evidences composition and decomposition. Excess of growth causes decay, and excess of decay causes growth.

* The activities of body are "Outer", the activities of jeevan are "Inner".

* All "inner" or "outer" activities are either positive (towards growth) or negative (towards decay).

* Human-being attains its natural-state of being only upon Awakening.

* The nucleus of jeevan-atom - atma - (upon awakening) is the mediating activity. Jeevan (self) becomes capable of self-realization when all its faculties get aligned with atma.

* A completely awakened jeevan has the activities of buddhi, chitta, vritti, and mun "naturally-controlled" with mediating-activity of atma. This results in realization of happiness, peace, contentment, and bliss.

* Every inert-atom is also with mediating-activity in its nucleus - whose function is to bring back to natural-state from excesses (positive or negative).

* An entity of nature cannot be devoid of activity. An entity of nature has positive, negative, and mediating activities. Positive and Negative activities get balanced through mediating-function. In this way, mediating-activity itself gets realized as Definite-Conduct of the Entity of Nature - since positive and negative activities stay under the control of mediating-activity.

* It is impossible to find an entity of nature that is devoid of any activity.

* Human-being evidences behavioural-mediation as Justice, intellectual-mediation as Dharma, and experiential-mediation as Truth.

* Entire human-behaviour gets naturally-controlled with Principle of Co-existence. Principle of Co-existence gets evidenced as defintiveness in Conduct.

* Thinking activity in human-being gets naturally-controlled with Resolution. Naturally-controlled thinking is evidence of Awakening.

* Experience activity (in atma) is in Knowledge-essence - which is as all pervasive space.

* Experience in Co-existence is the acceptance of infinite entities in the pervasive space as knowledge-essence. The inseparability of infinite nature in the pervasive space itself is co-existence.

Freedom from Conflict - Chapter-10 of Manav Vyavhar Darshan

Freedom from Conflict - Chapter-10 of Manav Vyavhar Darshan
This is an attempt of translating chapter-10 - titled "क्लेश मुक्ति" - of Manav Vyavhar Darshan by Baba Shree A. Nagraj Sharma.


* Every human-being has expectation of freedom from conflict.

* Freedom from Conflict itself is Freedom from Illusion. All human-efforts - of study, prayers, experiments, occupations, practices, and commitments - are to attain this freedom. There is no evidence of attaining this freedom in human-history thus far. Therefore, this is a proposal for humankind for freedom from illusion.

* Study in Co-existence is to attain clarity about Process of constitution of every entity of nature, and its Evidence.


Structure and attributes of entities of nature exhibit continuous-change - while Matter that constitutes these entities is eternal - or has continuity of existence. Matter itself gets expressed as four natural-orders. However big an entity of nature may be, its basic-unit of constitution is an atom. The constitution-principle is same for all kinds of atoms. An atom's constitution is as nucleus and surrounding orbits. The comparative degree of activity in the surrounding-orbits of an atom, and the atom's status with respect to its progress towards awakening - explains the distinctions between statuses of Nature as natural-0rders.

* Study in Co-existence is with the objective of attaining Wisdom - in which, under the guidance of teacher the student's imagination gets inspired for recognizing realities in existence - and thereby acceptances of realities get instilled in the student as wisdom.

definition:

1. teacher:- the one who guides the student by expressing with knowledge-experience centric method for instilling acceptances of realities for the student's movement towards knowledge-experience.


* Experiment-Activities (innovations) lead to accomplishment of material-resources required for realizing human-behaviour.

* Production-Activities are for accomplishment of objects of human-utility.

* Practice leads to achievement of state-of-art and excellence in Production-activities.

* Commitment to harmony in relationships begets Justice. The Study in Co-existence is under the guidance of (teacher who realizes) Dharma and Truth for (student's) achievement of human-objectives (resolution, prosperity, trust, and co-existence).

* Space is one undivisible whole and there are many divine beings.

* Experience in Knowledge-essence is with continuity of commitment towards human-objective.

definition:

1. human-objective:- recognition of excellence - with reverence and trust, upon freedom from illusion.

* Jeevan is immortal - therefore every human-being has opportunity for attaining capability of experiencing in the eternal Space.

* If without other entity's existence there is no evidence of one's existence - that's called "relativity".

* Acceptance of non-accumulation gives rise to seedless-thoughts - which culminate in realization of omni-dimensional resolution and prosperity.


* Acceptance of modesty leads to acceptance of non-accumulation.

definition:

1. modesty:- activities devoid of conceit.

Seeing the Existence (Part-4)

Seeing the Existence (Part-4)
This is the continuation of translation of chapter-9 - titled "दृष्टा, दृष्टि, दृश्य" - of manav vyavhar darshan by Baba Shree A. Nagraj Sharma.


* It is not possible to realize Awakening through inhuman education - where one human-being in illusion addresses another human-being in illusion. An awakened human-being alone can pave the way of awakening for a human-being in illusion. This itself is the way awakening gets realized in human-tradition.

* Each entity is only a part of the infinite Nature.

* Each entity of nature is a constitution of many parts.

* It is impossible to achieve coherence through method of reductionism (or fragmentation) - since every activity of nature is based on a constitution. Method of reductionism is interference to an entity's constitution - which causes "heat" or conflict - which in turn causes further interference for other entities.

* It is impossible to annihilate an entity of nature through fragmentation. Howsomany fragments are done, there is still some fragment left. All fragments continue to be in existence. Fragmentation in humankind is seen in the form of sects (or belief-systems of illusion). United-Humankind is realized upon recognizing the essence of universality.

* Human-being's behaviour is as worldly and as spiritual.

* All worldly-behaviour is either for self-interest or for universal-interest. All spiritual-behaviour is either seedfull-thought (tethered thought) or seedless-thought (untethered thought, or universal thought).

* Behaviour (of self-interest or universal-interest) is either Principled or Unprincipled. Principled Behaviour of Self-interest is in the purview of one's own-people, own-community, own-language, and own-country. Principled Behaviour of Universal-interest is for all-people, all-communities, all-languages, and all-countries.

* Unprincipled Self-interest (Greed) is for material-objects or sensory-gratification.

* Principled Universal-interest is for univeral-realization of Dharma and Prosperity.

* Spiritual Behaviour is for Dharma and Salvation (Awakening).

* All behaviour of Systems and Policy-makers towards realization of Humanness is Principled. All behaviour of Systems and Policy-makers towards Inhumanness is Unprincipled.

* Estimating one's own-people, own-objects, and own-needs as important - and other-people, objects of others, and needs of others as unimportant is Unprincipled Self-Interest or Greed. In the same way - estimating other-people, objects of others, needs of others as more important than own-people, own-objects, and own-needs is Unprincipled Universal-Interest or Philanthropy.

* Thoughts in the purview of Animal-Consciousness are seedfull-thoughts (tethered-thoughts that give rise to more such thoughts). Thoughts of Godly-consciousness and Divine-consciousness are seedless-thoughts (thoughts which are not tethered and are universal). Thoughts of Human-consciousness are seedfull, still such a human-being is resolved and realizes justice. A human-being realzing human-consciousness is free of illusion - though complete realization of awakening of self still remains to be done. Human-being living in human-consciousness is capable of discerning between seedfull-thoughts and seedless-thoughts.

* Self-Realization upon Experience in Knowledge-Essence is seedless-thoughts - this itself is divinity.

* Conceit is due to self's (jeevan's) getting limited to a part of existence - which is the root-cause of sorrow in a human-being.

* In the absence of Seeing the Existence in its entirety, Humane-thoughts are not; In the absence of Humane-thoughts, inclination for Humane work and behaviour is not; In the absence of Humane work and behaviour, Behavioural-Harmony is not; In the absence of Behavioural-Harmony, Freedom from Conflict is not; In the absence of Freedom from Conflict, Undivided-Society is not; In the absence of Undivided-Society, Realization of Co-existence is not; In the absence of Realization of Co-existence, Divinity is not; In the absence of Divinity, Study in Co-existence is not; In the absence of Study in Co-existence, there is no evidence of Seeing the Existence.

Seeing the Existence (Part-3)

Seeing the Existence (Part-3)
This is the continuation of translation of chapter-9 - titled "दृष्टा, दृष्टि, दृश्य" - of manav vyavhar darshan by Baba Shree A. Nagraj Sharma.



* Human-being has tried studying this world from six views: (1) likeness-dislikeness, (2) conduciveness-inconduciveness, (3) gainfulness-ungainfulness, (4) justice-injustice, (5) dharma - a-dharma, (6) truth - untruth.

* Intention for a human-activity emerges from its Expectation of Happiness; Needs (material and psychological) of a human-being emerge from its Intentions; Study by a human-being is for addressing its Needs; Capabilities of a human-being are outcome of its Study; Seeing the Existence is based on Capability of human-being; Clarity in Co-existence is from Seeing the Existence; Definite Programof Living (with Resolution and Prosperity) is from Clarity in Co-existence.

* The views of likeness-dislikeness, conduciveness-inconduciveness, and gainfulness-ungainfulness are from the intentions of acquiring material-objects and sensory-gratification. The views of justice-injustice, dharma- a-dharma, and truth-untruth are from the intentions of realizing one's acceptances of realities.

* Realization of Dharma and Salvation is necessary for accomplishing human-ness and divinity by humankind.

* Greed is the preparation in self for "accomplishments" of illusion. Need is the preparation in self for meaningful-accomplishment (as awakening) without which continuity of fulfillment is not there.

* The activities carried out (by the student) in the light of experience in atma (of the teacher) is study in co-existence. Every human-being (as Seer) has the same potential (as possibility) - to See. What gets Seen (or gets understood) by the Seer is termed as "Darshan" - which is the Seer's Ability. Expression of a human-being is in accordance with its Ability to See.

* Co-existence is all that is there to see in Existence.

* Ability to See the entirety of Co-existence - and experiencing in the limitless Space is complete-awakening of a human-being (as an entity of knowledge-order).

* All efforts of human-being as thirst for more material only end up in pain - which itself is the illusion. Human-being has kept trying to free itself from this pain of efforts. These attempts become successful or unsuccessful - based on human-being's attainment of abilities (of awakening).

* Study is to see the distinction in inhuman-ness, human-ness, and divinity.

* Seeing the entirety of Co-existence itself is the Knowledge-essence. This knowledge-essence itself is the Principle of Co-existence which is continuously adhered to by Nature.

* Every activity of Nature adheres to Principle of Co-existence - and thereby Entities of Nature realize Natural-Control.



* All activities of Nature are controlled and conserved in Space - since Space is always there between every two entities of Nature. Space, therefore, is the root-cause of adherence of Principle of Co-existence by entities of nature.


* Observer, Observation, and Observed - are three Activities.

* Human-being has attempted to attain effortlessness by putting efforts towards material-accomplishments. These attempts has been proven to be unsuccessful. Along with this, the cohesiveness in thinking and behaviour upon experiencing in co-existence has been proven to be successful. This success is realization of Principle of Co-existence by human-being.
* At the root of human-efforts to attain effortlessness is the Human-Potential for Awakening; At the root of realization of Human-Potential for Awakening is Study in Co-existence; At the root of Study in Co-existence is Receptivity for Awakening; At the root of fulfilling the Receptivity for Awakening (in student) is Ability of Self-Realization (in teacher); At the root of Ability of Self-Realization (in teacher) is Awakened Work and Behaviour; At the root of Awakened Work and Behaviour is Coherence in Thinking, Speech, and Actions; and human-being is always effortfull for achieving Coherence in Thinking, Speech, and Actions in accordance with its State of Awakening.

* Coherence in Thinking, Speech, and Actions is through receiving signals, and following actions (of an Awakened Human-Being or Teacher) with the purpose of achieving Resolution (in student).

* Acceptance and adherence to signals of clarity (from an awakened human-being) establishes coherence in thinking, speech, and actions and awakening (in a student).

This is continuation of translation of chapter-9 - titled "दृष्टा, दृष्टि, दृश्य" - of Manav Vyavhar Darshan by Baba Shree A. Nagraj Sharma.



* Beauty and Ugliness is as subtle (thinking in jeevan) and as gross (outcome of thinking in jeevan).

* Study and Practice in Co-existence alone can lead to a human-being's Awakening.

* A human-being's materializing the visualizations are either out of its Awakening or out of its Illusion.

* A human-being's expectation for harmony in self is either out of its state of attachments, or out of its state of unattachment (or awakening).

* The expectations in self are - as wanting of salvation or "heaven"; as wanting of material-objects and sensory-gratification; and as wanting of clarity from literature. The thinking and behaviour that gives rise to conflict gets recognized as "wrong". The thinking and behaviour that gives rise to harmony gets accepted as "right".

* The environment (natural or human-made) is either conducive or inconducive for a human-being's awakening.

* The expectations in a human-being are in accordance to its state of being - as inhuman-ness, human-ness, or divinity.

* Literature distinguishes between attachment (bondage) and freedom (salvation). Only a human-being has the possibility and opportunity of deliberating, studying, and experimenting based on the information from the literature.

* Inert-nature is with quantum (of matter) and is therefore active.

* Entire inert-nature is as active atoms. An atom is a constitution of sub-atomic particles - in nucleus and surrounding orbits.

* When an inert-atom achieves constitutional-completeness upon progress - it gets conscious-status (as jeevan), and from that moment itself it gets into the bondage of wanting to live. This is naturally-evident in every animal's being with an inalienable want of living.

* Human-being - in addition to having the bondage of wanting to live - has the ability to imagine. Thereby a human-being expresses its faculties of visualizing, thinking, and wanting in its living.

* Bondage of Thinking (of vritti) is self's believing its own thoughts (from its state of illusion) to be superior. This bondage in self (jeevan) gives rise to inhuman-thoughts due to human-being's ability to imagine.

* Freedom from the bondage of thinking is by thoughts of Justice.

* The Bondage of Desire (of chitta) is self's (incorrectly) believing its visualizations (in its state of illusion) to be the Clarity of Truth. This itself is vanity. This gives rise to worries in self, and strengthens inhuman-ness.

* Acceptance of Dharma begets freedom from the bondage of desire.

* Acceptance of Truth begets freedom from Illusion.

* Attachment to material-aspects begets sensory-fulfillment - which is temporary; Experience in Co-existence in atma and its Acceptance in buddhi begets natural-fulfillment of self - which has continuity.

* Inert-nature (material-aspects) exhibits change - therefore fulfillment to self (jeevan) from its attachment to inert-nature is also temporary. This is the reason attachment to material-aspects is the cause of bondage.

* Experience in Co-existence (in atma) is eternal or is changeless - therefore fulfillment to self (jeevan) from its acceptance of experience in co-existence has continuity.

* (Jeevan's) Efforts of seeking fulfillment where there is no continuity is bondage, and (jeevan's) experiencing where fulfillment is natural is salvation.

* While in illusion, human-activities are busy trying to fulfill desires (of illusion), and desires are busy trying to fulfill human-activities (of illusion) - which can never reach fulfillment.

* That which cannot be fulfilled, and that which is incomplete (or changes) - the stubbornness of desiring to fulfill them (through activities) itself is "mirgae" or Illusion, which is Bondage.

* This "mirage" or Illusion gets dispelled upon Seeing the Existence as Co-existence.

* The entities of nature are seen to be in Co-existence - and for that the study of entity's appearance, attributes, true-nature, and dharma is absolutely essential.

* The entire Study in Co-existence is of inert-nature, conscious-nature, and of pervasive-space. This world is as physical-activities, chemical-activities, and jeevan-activities.

Seeing the Existence - Chapter-9 of Manav Vyavhar Darshan

Seeing the Existence - Chapter-9 of Manav Vyavhar Darshan
This is an attempt to translate chapter-9 - titled दृष्टा, दृश्य, दृष्टि - of Manav Vyavhar Darshan by Baba Shree A. Nagraj Sharma.

* For the Seeing (the activity of understanding) to happen - the Scene (the objective of understanding) and the Seer (The entity that understands) must compulsorily be there.

definition:

1. Seeing:- The activities performed by the Seer with the Scene is termed as Seeing.

* The Seeing happens with the Scene based on the Seer's ability to see. The Seeing of entirety happens upon acquiring the ability to see a reality the way it is.

* The extent of Seeing determines the objective of the Seer with the Scene. The extent of Seeing is the distinction between Illusion and Awakening.

* The extent of Seeing gets developed in Self as a combined-outcome of one's environment, study in co-existence, and prior acceptances. The extent of Seeing determines progress or decline.

* The understanding achieved by the Seer is called "Darshan".

* Environment is of two kinds - (1) natural (2) human-made.
* Study is the process of a human-being's recognizing Meanings from Words used in literature.

definition:

1. literature:- the word-groups that indicate definite principles, sequence of activities and realities in existence.

* Speciation is of two kinds - (1) natural (2) un-natural (with human intervention).

* Composition and Decomposition is the limit of Nature. What is already composed - can be studied by human-being. What has possibility of getting composed - can be estimated by human-being. Every composition in Existence is Nature.

* Principle and Definite-Sequence of Activities and thereby Accomplishment - together comprise of a Natural-Evidence. In the absence of Principle and Definite-Sequence of Activities there is no way of Seeing any Natural-Evidences. Study of Principles and Definite-Sequence of Activities results Clarity in Seeing.

* Humane thinking and behaviour is Justice. Inhuman thinking and behaviour is Injustice.

* Trust is the Commitment towards Realities that emerges in Self upon being established with Acceptances of Realities.

* Justice is the Principle for realization (conservation and progressiveness) of Human-ness.

* Natural-Control is the continuity of a Principle's evidence. Natural-Control of Human-Behaviour is with Justice; Natural-Control of Human-Thinking is with Dharma; Natural-Control of Human-Experience is with Truth.
* The objective of living that is worthy of acceptance by self is its Innateness.

* That which is eternal is Truth.

* A human-being by birth is with acceptance of "happiness" as its objective of living.

The Planes of Nature and Beyond - chapter-8 of Manav Vyavhar Darshan

The Planes of Nature and Beyond - chapter-8 of Manav Vyavhar Darshan
Following is an attempt to translate chapter-8 - titled "पद एवं पदातीत" - of Manav Vyavhar Darshan by Baba Shree A. Nagraj Sharma.



* There are only two kinds of realities in Existence - (1) Nature, (2) Space

* Entities of Nature are classifiable for Study into four Planes based on their comparative appearance, attributes, true-nature, and dharma. Space is beyond Planes of Nature, and it is Pervasive.
* Plane of an Entity of Nature can be determined by recognizing its Constitution, its Order of Nature, and its Capabilities and Powers. These three together describe the Entity's Being in Existence.

* That which is not an entity of any Plane, That which is Unlimited, That which contains every Plane of Nature, and That which is in every Plane of Nature as well - is Space. That is also given the names as God, Energy, and Emptiness.
* The Appearance of an Entity of Nature is its shape, area, and volume; The Attributes of an Entity of Nature are its expression of growth, decay, and being-ness (as continuity of being).

* Communication among Humans emerged in the order - first as Sounds, then as Sound-Modulation, then as Language, and finally as Language with Definitions.

* Co-existence Principle and Definite-sequence of Activities together lead to accomplishment of a certain Being in Existence as an Entity of Nature - which is the Meaning of that entity.

* Experience in the pervasive Space by a human-being is the Meaning of Space. Space is without a point of creation, without change; and without limits. Space is the absolute-energy available to all entities of nature for their being-ness. Space itself is the knowledge that comes in experience of a human-being.

* Space is everywhere in the same way - therefore it is pervasive. The entities of Nature are infinite. Therefore Planes of Nature are many.

* An entity of nature is in a certain Plane based on its decline or progress towards completeness.

* Plane of an entity of nature is determined by its constitution, definite-sequence of activities for its emergence, and its conduct.

* Plane indicates Meaning of an entity of nature; Meaning indicates Behaviour and Conduct of that entity; Behaviour and Conduct of an entity indicate the Definite-sequence of activities for its emergence; Definite-sequence of activities for emergence indicate the Plane of the entity.

* An entity of nature is "limited" from all sides. There are infinite entities of nature. These entities are in the "limitless" and pervasive Space. Space gets experienced by human-being as Bliss.

* Partial-knowledge of Meaning merely leads to feeling of happiness and sorrow. This feeling (of "happiness" and "sorrow") gets recognized in mun and vritti. The continuity of happiness is upon acceptance of realities in buddhi, and experience of truth in atma.

* Body-parts which get activated due to self (jeevan) are sense-organs - such as seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, and tasting.

* Human-efforts are partial if they are towards objectives that (by nature) change (or uncertain). Human-efforts are complete if they are towards objectives that (by nature) are changeless (or definite).

* In the absence of Acceptance of the meaning of eternal Space - Acceptance of Truth is not; In the absence of Acceptance of Truth - Clarity in Existence is not; In the absence of Clarity in Existence - Balance in human-living is not; In the absence of Balance in human-living - Enthusiasm and Inspiration is not; In the absence of Enthusiasm and Inspiration - Awakening of Human-being is not; In the absence of Awakening of Human-being - Resolution is not; In the absence of Resolution - Harmony in Human-Behaviour is not; In the absence of Harmony in Human-Behaviour - Realization of Co-existence is not; In the absence of Realization of Co-existence - Perfection is not; In the absence of Perfection - Absence of Conflict is not; and while Conflict is there - Acceptance of Eternal Truth is not.

* A human-being's Need determines what it accepts as its Objective of Living. Human-living is successful only when its objective is Awakening of Self. In its absence - human-living is unsuccessful.

* Un-natural Acceptances in Self result in Discord in Human-Behaviour. Natural-Acceptances in Self result in Harmony in Human-Behaviour.

definitions:

1. Un-natural Acceptances:- Attachment to Wrongs.
2. Natural Acceptance:- Trust in Right.
