Chapter-5
The person, the most part of whose production gets used towards undivided society and universal system, and only a small portion gets used towards their family's utilisation, alone is excellent. Only such a person is qualified for realisation of Brahma.
A knowledge-self's goal extends beyond physical activities such as production, distribution, behavior, occupation, and enjoyment. A knowledge-self ultimately seeks the continuity of blissfulness, which is achieved through awakening.
A knowledge-self is not contented without resolution.
A knowledge-self has no peace without justice in behaviour.
Without adhering to the laws, increasing the production alone does not result in prosperity.
The utility of engaging in production lies in nourishment and protection of the gross body, as well as social progress.
The use of mechanisation is also included in the pursuit of production.
Every essential sensory experience nurtures the insentient aspect (the body) and can lead to the perception of happiness or sorrow in the mun of the sentient aspect (jeevan).
The perception of happiness itself is the trigger for an inquiry into its continuity. Accumulating more and more wealth has not proven to be the means for ensuring the continuity of happiness. Nevertheless, wealth is not to be neglected because production is necessary for nourishing and protecting the insentient body, as well as for social progress. The righteous utilisation of wealth is how the civility and conduct of humans are manifested, and ensuring its uninterrupted continuity leads to the tradition of further progress and awakening.
Social behaviour characterised by justice alone signifies the continuity of happiness and peace.
Thought of dharma itself is resolution, which signifies the continuity of contentment.
There is no entity or unit that is devoid of dharma.
The study of form, attributes, intrinsic-nature and dharma in every unit is well-established.
Realisation of Brahma itself is the ultimate bliss, which has continuity.
The sentient unit (jeevan) doesn't undergo constitutional change. However, it does undergo refinement and qualitative change towards activity completeness and conduct completeness.
Hope, wish, thought, wisdom and art manifest skill, proficiency and mastery either towards sensory-gratification or spiritual-realisation.
Only that which is attainable can be experienced through the senses and sought proximity.
The realisation is only in that which is inherent - "This" is Omnipresence, Brahma, Knowledge, and Truth.
Omnipresence is Brahma. Both the insentient and sentient nature are inseparably present in Omnipresence.
"This" and its realisation are free from any boundaries such as place and time.
Mere sensory experience also gets perceived as happiness. Indulgence in luxuries falls within the same category.
There is no continuous happiness in the indulgence of luxuries; if there were, luxuries themselves would be everlasting.
It's a well-established fact that any form of enjoyment, indulgence, or relaxation becomes unpleasant, unnecessary, and unbearable after a certain duration.
The transience of the physical aspects of living, such as food and lifestyle, is a well-established fact.
Humane living is with restraint in food, lifestyle, etc., and there is an establishment and adherence to the principle of 'more production, less consumption.'
Among the three drives, since the progeny-drive is more eminent than the wealth-drive, and the reputation-drive is more eminent than the progeny-drive, humans have the inquiry for attaining a more eminent status (higher-humaneness) than humaneness.
In the purview of humaneness, individuals devote most of their production to the three drives (progeny, wealth, and reputation). Consequently, those who live
primarily for progeny and wealth find security in their guidance and seek to pass their inspiration from generation to generation.
Humans driven by reputation have the perspective of dharma along with truth. Their intrinsic-nature encompasses fortitude, courage, generosity, and kindness. They are the godly humans, who are undisputed guides of other un-awakened humans.
The person, the most part of whose production goes towards distribution, and only a small portion gets used towards their family’s utilisation, alone is excellent. Only such a person is qualified for realisation of Brahma. Distribution means devoting resources towards undivided society and universal system.
