    Understanding Harmony in the Human Being

    If your imagination is guided by your natural acceptance, you are sure to be in harmony and happiness
    within. You are self-organized.

    The Way Ahead


    – Ensuring Harmony in the Self by way of Self-exploration
    To achieve this harmony in the Self, we need to start self-exploration. In the process, we need to:
    • Know our natural acceptance
    • Be aware of our imagination
    • Find out the source of imagination
    • Work out a way to sort out our imagination till it is fully in line with our natural acceptance
    When the imagination is in harmony with the natural acceptance, there is harmony in the Self. This
    harmony is happiness.

    Key Takeaways
    The activities of desire, thought and expectation are together called imagination. Imagination is
    continuously going on in the Self. The sources of imagination can be sensation, pre-conditioning or
    natural acceptance. There is harmony in the Self when the imagination is in line with one’s natural
    acceptance. Harmony in the Self is in continuity when all the activities of the Self are awakened.

    Understanding Harmony of the Self with the Body

    In this lecture, we will discuss the harmony of the Self with the Body, and try to understand self-
    regulation and health.

    The Body as a Self-organised System


    The Body is a wonderful self-organised system. It has so many parts. Each part co-exists in harmony
    with every other part. The eyes are well connected to the brain; the mouth, the stomach and the whole
    digestive system is synchronized and so it is for every organ, every cell of the Body – and you have to
    do nothing to make these connections or to synchronize the various parts or to deal with every cell.

    Harmony of the Self with the Body: Self-regulation and Health


    As we discussed in lecture 9, the Body is an instrument of the Self. The responsibility of the Self towards
    the Body is in terms of nurturing, protecting and rightly utilizing the Body. Nurturing the Body is by
    providing appropriate air, water, food, sunlight, etc. Protection is to ensure the continuity of the body
    which includes safeguarding from unfavorable conditions. Right utilization would mean using the Body
    for the purpose of the Self. This feeling of responsibility towards the Body is called as the feeling of
    self-regulation, and a natural outcome of it is health.

    Feeling of self-regulation = the feeling of responsibility in the self towards the Body – for nurturing,
    protection and right utilization of the Body.

    Indicators of a healthy body:


    • The Body is healthy if it is able to perform as per the instructions of the Self.
    • Different parts of the Body are in harmony amongst each other, they are in order.

    The feeling of self-regulation in the Self is primary. Health in the Body is a natural consequence.

    When the Self has the feeling of self-regulation and there is health in the Body, there is harmony of the
    Self with the Body.
