जीवन विद्या एक परिचय

In this way, by living orderly in a family and participating in the five dimensions, we become participants in the universal orderliness. This brings continuous joy, wellbeing, and indomitable courage to humans. Dharma follows justice. Dharma means the enlightenment of realisation-evidence in buddhi, i.e., resolution. Resolution is the dharma of humans. Living in orderliness is the dharma of humans, which is the state of comprehensive resolution. When humans live in disorder, they become trapped in problems; when they live in orderliness, they remain resolved. Humans do not want to be trapped in problems; they want to be resolved. Resolution equals happiness; human dharma is happiness. Problems equal suffering; humans do not want suffering.

Resolution cannot be attained based on fear and temptation, yet the whole world is bent on finding resolution that way. Even today, we educate and train to build systems based on fear and temptation, but orderliness cannot come from these. The moment anything is built based on fear and temptation, the process of its disintegration begins immediately. Orderliness at any level – family, industry, governance, or State – can only be achieved based on values and evaluation. Orderliness means that humans can exhibit their authenticity, fulfil justice, and participate.

The education-sanskar system aims to impart the formula of understanding to every family, individual, and child. This process can also be referred to as the dissemination of understanding. As mentioned earlier, first comes the holistic view (darshan), followed by ideology (vaad), then treatises (shastra), and finally, plans (yojana). One of these plans is the Jeevan Vidya Plan, which enables any family to achieve humane consciousness. With this understanding, one can live in orderliness within the family.

The second plan is the Humanisation of Education, which provides a system of education for children. We implemented this education system at a school in Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh, over a period of five years. This experience allowed us to observe the impact of humanising education based on Jeevan Vidya. People often say that the environment influences students, a notion I have always disagreed with. If the environment had such an overriding effect, how could I have succeeded in my exploration? Evidence from this school shows that children influence their families, and in turn, families influence their environment. The children began to see themselves as jeevan (conscious beings) rather than merely as bodies, and they recognised the necessity of living in orderliness. As a result, many children started losing interest in television and frivolous talks, evaluating them as meaningless.
