Basic Human Aspiration • Happiness • Prosperity • Its continuity • Happiness may be defined as being in harmony/ synergy in the states/ situations that we live in. Happiness is being in a state of liking. Unhappiness is a lack of this synergy or harmony. To be in a state of disliking is unhappiness. • Prosperity: It is the feeling of having more physical facilities than required. Prosperity creates a desire to share what one possesses. However, since the need for physical facilities is limitless, the feeling of prosperity cannot be assured.

  UNIT-II HARMONY IN THEHUMAN BEING Harmony in the Human Being Understanding The Human Being As Co- Existence Of Self (“I”) And Body  Human being is more than just a Body. He is a co- existence of both the Self(I/ Jivana) and the Body. There is an exchange of information between the two. Our body acts according to the suggestions given by our “Jivana”.  All the human feelings of happiness, sorrow, pain, excitement etc. are all experienced by “I” and not the “Body”.  Having Physical Facilities ensures the fulfillment of the needs of the body, but it does not fulfill the needs of the “I”.  Hence, for every human being, we need to fulfill the needs of both:  Of “I” = Happiness (Sukha)  Of “Body” = Physical Facilities (Suvidha)  One of these cannot replace the other. Fulfillment of the needs of the self and the body.  Need for the food is fulfilled by rice, veg, etc  Need for respect is fulfilled by the way your friend listen to you, appreciate you etc. Human Self Body Need Happiness (Respect) Physical Facility (Food) Fulfilled by Right Understanding and Right Feeling Physio-Chemical Things
