 1.Understanding the need, basic guidelines,
content and process for Value Education .
Value Education
Character oriented education that instills basic
values and ethnic values in one’s psyche is
called ‘Value Based Education’. The subject
that enables us to understand ‘what is
valuable’ for human happiness is called value
education.
• Value education enables us to understand our needs and
visualize our goals correctly and also helps to remove our
confusions and contradictions and bring harmony at all levels.
It also helps remove our confusions and contradictions and
enables us to rightly utilize the technological innovations.
• Values form the basis for all our thoughts, behaviors and
actions. Once we know what is valuable to us, these values
becomes the basis, the anchor for our actions.
 Basic guidelines for value education

• Universal: It needs to be applicable to all the human beings irrespective of cast,

creed, nationalities, religion, etc., for all times and regions.
• Rational: It has to appeal to human reasoning. It has to be amenable to reasoning
and not based on dogmas or blind beliefs.
• Natural and verifiable: It has to be naturally acceptable to the human being who
goes through the course and when we live on the basis of such values it leads to
our happiness. It needs to be experientially verifiable, and not based on dogmas,
beliefs or assumptions.
• All encompassing: Value education is aimed at transforming our consciousness and
living. Hence, it needs to cover all the dimensions (thought, behavior, work and
realization) and levels (individual, family, society, nature and existence) of human
life and profession.
• Leading to harmony: The value education ultimately is targeted to promote
harmony within the individual, among human beings and with nature.
 Need for value education in today’s
scenario. 
•   Correct identification of our aspirations. The subject which enables us to
understand ‘what is valuable’ for human happiness is called ‘value
education’ (VE). Thus, VE enables us to understand our needs and
visualize our goals correctly and also indicate the direction for their
fulfillment. It also helps to remove our confusions and contradictions and
bring harmony at all levels.
• Understanding universal human values to fulfill our aspirations in
continuity. Values form the basis for all our thoughts, behaviors and
actions. Once we know what is valuable to us, these values becomes the
basis, the anchor for our actions. We also need to understand the
universality of various human values, because only then we can have a
definite and common program for value education. Then only we can be
assured of a happy and harmonious human society.
• Complimentarily of values and skills. To fulfill our aspirations both values
and skills are necessary. When we identify and set the right goals and
produced in right direction. This is known as value domain, the domain of
wisdom, and when we learn and practices to actualize this goal to develop
the techniques to make this happen in real life, in various dimensions of
human endeavor (struggle). This is known as domain of skills.
There is an essential complementarily between values and skills for the
success of any human endeavor. For example, I want to lead a healthy life.
Only wishing for good health will not help me keep my body fit and
healthy and without having understood the meaning of health, I will not
be able to choose things correctly to keep my body fit and healthy.
•  Evaluation of our beliefs. Each one of us believes in certain things and we base
our values on these beliefs, be they false or true which may or may not be true
in reality. These believes come to us from what we read, see, hear, what our
parents tells us, our friends talk about, what the magazines talk of, what we see
from TV etc. Value Education helps us to evaluate our beliefs and assumed
values.
•  Technology and human values. The present education system has become
largely skill-based. The prime emphasis is on science and technology. However,
science and technology can only help to provide the means to achieve what is
considered valuable. It is not within the scope of science and technology to
provide the competence of deciding what really is valuable.
Value Education is a crucial missing link in the present education system.
Because of this deficiency, most of our efforts may prove to be
counterproductive and serious crises at the individual, societal and
environmental level are manifesting.
 Self exploration is the process to find out
what is valuable to me by investigating within
myself, what is right for me, true for me, has
to be judged within myself. Through self
exploration we get the value of ourself.

Content of self exploration is just finding answers to the

following fundamental questions of all human beings:

1. The Desire/Goal: What is my (human) Desire/ Goal? What do I

really want in life, or what is the goal of human life?

2. Program: What is my (human) program for fulfilling the

desire? How to fulfill it? What is the program to actualize the
above?
 Self exploration
• Self exploration is a process of dialogue
between ‘what you are’ and ‘what you really
want to be’.
• Self exploration is the process to find out what
is valuable to me by investigating within
myself, what is right for me, true for me, has
to be judged within myself. Through self
exploration we get the value of ourself.
Verify proposals on the basis of our natural
acceptance
• Natural acceptance implies unconditional and total
acceptance of the self, people and environment. It
also refers to the absence of any exception from
others. Once we fully and truly commit ourself on
the basis of natural acceptance, we feel a holistic
sense of inner harmony, tranquility and fulfillment.
Actually natural acceptance is way to accept the
good things naturally. Learn everything that is good
from others, but bring it in, and in our own way
absorb it; do not become others.
Verify proposals in the basis of characteristics
of natural acceptance
a)      Natural acceptance does not change with time. It remains invariant with time. For
example our natural acceptance for trust and respect does not change with age.
b)      It does not depend on the place. Whatever we have accepted, in our life, at any time
of our age, does not change, even if we move from one place to another one.
c)      It does not depend on our beliefs or past conditionings. No matter how deep our
belief or past conditioning, as long as we ask ourselves the question sincerely, as long as
we refer deep within ourselves, the answer will always be the same.
d)     This natural acceptance is ‘constantly there’, something we can refer to. Natural
acceptance is always there. Whatever we do, this natural acceptance is within us, it is
telling us what is right.
e)      Natural acceptance is the same for all of us: it is part and parcel of every human
being, it is part of humanness. Though each one of us, may have different likes and
dislikes and means to live and to react etc. but if we go deep in our mind the purpose of
our work, behavior, efforts etc. are based on common goals like need to be happy, need to
be respected, need to get prosperity. So our basic acceptance remains the same.
How can you say that you are
prosperous?

• The feeling of having or making available more than required physical

facilities is prosperity. Almost all of us feel that wealth alone means
prosperity . Prosperity is more acceptable to us because wealth is just
a part of prosperity. We are trying to achieve happiness and
prosperity by maximizing accumulation and consumption of physical
facilities. It is becoming anti-ecological and anti-people, and
threatening the human survival itself. For prosperity, two things are
required-
• 1.      Identification of the required quantity of physical facilities, and
• 2.      Ensuring availability / production of more than required physical
facilities.
 What is your present vision of a happy and
prosperous life?
 We are trying to achieve happiness and prosperity by maximizing accumulation and
consumption of physical facilities. It is becoming anti-ecological and anti-people, and
threatening the human survival itself.
Some of the consequences of such trend are summarized below:
1. At the level of individual: rising problems of depression, psychological disorders,
suicides, stress, insecurity, etc.
2. At the level of family: breaking of joint families, mistrust, and conflict between older
and younger generations, insecurity in relationships, divorce, dowry tortures, etc.
3.At the level of society: growing incidence of terrorism , rising communalism, racial
and ethnic struggle, wars between nations, etc.
4.  At the level of nature: global warming, water, air, soil, noise etc. pollution, resource
depletion of minerals and mineral oils, etc.
All the problems are a direct outcome of an incorrect understanding, our wrong
notion about happiness and prosperity and their continuity – this is an issue for
serious exploration
IDENTIFY LEVELS
 UNDERSTANDING OF SVDD:SSDD:SSSS
• To achieve our basic aspirations we need to work for right understanding as the base
on which we can work for relationship and then physical facilities. Today we are not
working according to this that why we can see that there are two kind of people in the
world:
• 1.      Those that do not have physical facilities/ wealth and feel unhappy and deprived.
i.e. SVDD: Sadhan Viheen Dukhi Daridra – Materially Deficient, Unhappy and Deprived.
• 2.      Those that have physical facilities/ wealth and feel unhappy and deprived. i.e.
SSDD: Sadhan Sampann Dukhi Daridra – Materially Adequate Unhappy and Deprived.
But these are states we don’t want to be in. We want to move from this to third
category i.e.
• 3.      Having physical facilities and feeling happy and prosperous i.e. SSSS: Sadhan
Sampann Sukhi Samriddha – Materially Adequate, Happy and Prosperous.
• Presently, as we look around, we find most of the people in the above two categories
called SVDD and SSDD, while the natural acceptance of all human beings is to be in the
category of SSSS.
 Physical facilities are necessary but not
complete for humans while they are complete
for animals.
For Animals: Animals need physical things to
survive, mainly to take care of their body.

For Humans: While physical facilities are

necessary for human beings, they are not
complete by themselves to fulfill our needs.
Our needs are more than just physical facilities.

FOR animals – “Physical facilities are necessary and complete.”

For humans “Physical facilities are necessary but not complete
 The Basic Requirements to fulfill Human
Aspirations
• Our basic aspirations are happiness (mutual fulfillment) and prosperity
(mutual prosperity). Happiness is ensured by the relationships with other
human beings and prosperity is ensured by working on physical facilities.
• Right Understanding: This refers to higher order human skills – the need to
learn and utilize our intelligence most effectively.
• Good Relationships: This refers to the interpersonal relationships that a
person builds in his or her life – at home, at the workplace and in society.
• Physical Facilities: This includes the physiological needs of individuals and
indicates the necessities as well as the comforts of life. It means the feeling
of having or being able to have more physical facilities than is needed.
Difference between animal consciousness and human
consciousness
• Working only for physical facilities is living
with Animal Consciousness.
• Working for right understanding as the first
priority followed by relationship and physical
facilities implies living with Human
Consciousness.
• There is a need for transformation from Animal
Consciousness to Human Consciousness. It can
be accomplished only by working for right
understanding as the first priority.
