जीवन विद्या एक परिचय

Human emergence on Earth occurred only after this soil fertility was established. Ever since humans appeared, they began exploiting forests. With the advent of the scientific age, the exploitation extended to minerals. Excessive exploitation of both minerals and vegetation has depleted the Earth’s fertility and the levels of life-giving oxygen.

Now, to the scientists who believe they are benefitting the world by producing chemical fertilisers, I suggest that the natural process of fertiliser formation is the only way to preserve Earth’s fertility. Rivers carry and deposit unnecessary materials from the Earth's surface into the oceans, maintaining balance. Dense vegetation and forests on Earth’s surface are crucial for this balance. Instead, we humans tend to create additional problems while attempting to solve existing ones. One problem cannot cover up another problem. Even if a minor problem is masked by a larger one, it remains unresolved.

This is not a complaint or condemnation; rather, it is a factual account of past events and a proposal for reconsideration. It simply describes the current state and the urgent need for change.

This proposal, in summary, aims to evidence all ten activities of jeevan in human tradition. It seeks to evidence understanding through consciousness development and value education. This involves knowing, believing, recognising, and fulfilling. The point of satisfaction for knowing and believing is awakening itself, which is evidenced by resolution, prosperity, fearlessness, and coexistence. This itself is the evidence of realisation. Therefore, every human can make their life meaningful by living based on realisation.

Another benefit of this proposal is that it has no place for priesthood or power-centric rule. It is also free from the idea that only one person will liberate everyone. Each individual can liberate themselves from delusion by attaining understanding.

The notion that the liberation of one person would lead to the liberation of the whole world has proven insufficient, as we have seen. In this proposal, whoever understands it will become liberated. The holy scriptures offer numerous assurances, yet not a single person on Earth has emerged as evidence of their teachings. What, then, is the solution for us? Anything that cannot be integrated into tradition is of no value.

The tradition can only be successful when it is based on understanding, where humans live with humaneness. The tradition of understanding can be established through education, and the tradition of right living comes about by way of family, society, and systems.
