2. Categorize: Need of I and Need of Body
Make a list of Your desires
Categorize each desire as Need of I or Need of Body
Eg. house
- To show others – need of I
- To provide protection – need of Body
Some needs will be for both I and for Body – you can reflect on what is
the primary need
Q: What is the % of desires that are needs of I, % of needs of Body?
Q: % Effort for PF? % Effort for RU & RF?
Q: Re-evaluate the program to fulfill needs of I. PF can only fulfill needs
of the Body
9
2. Categorize: Need of I and Need of Body
About 10% desires are needs of the Body
About 90% desires are needs of Self(I)
About 10% effort is for Right Understanding &
Relationship
About 90% effort is for Physical Facility
Most of the desires are of needs of Self(I)
Most of the effort is for Physical facility
Physical Facility can fulfill only needs of the Body…
… There is a mismatch between desire and effort …

2. Categorize: Need of I and Need of Body – Effort
Sanskar (t+1) = Fn [Sanskar (t), Environment (t), Adhyayan (t)]
Proposal
Self Study, Self Verification
 Listening (with curiosity, with concentration, listening to get the sense in
which the speaker is indicating)
 Self-Exploration (to see the reality indicated by the words, to refer to your
natural acceptance)
Right Understanding & Right Feeling in the self
 To see your Natural Acceptance
11
3. Categorise: Preconditioning, Sensation and Natural Acceptance
For notions, reflect on its underlying assumption
Eg. Nice house
- Nice = comparatively better than other houses – preconditioning
- Nice = luxurious – sensation
- Nice = provides protection for body – natural acceptance
12
3. Categorise: Preconditioning, Sensation and Natural Acceptance
Preconditioning: Assuming without knowing. Depends on something or
someone outside, keeps changing
Sensation: taste of sound, touch, sight, taste, smell, 4 topics: food,
sleep, fear/security, sex (samvedna – shabd, sparsh, roop, ras, gandh,
4 vishay: ahar, nidra, bhay, maithun)
tasty-necessary  tasty-unnecessary  tasteless-unnecessary 
intolerable
(ruchikar-avashyak  ruchikar-anavashyak  aruchikar-unavashyak
 asahaniya)
Natural Acceptance: Given a choice, what I would accept naturally
1. Assurance (Ashwasti)
2. Satisfaction (Tripti)
3. Universal (Sarvbhaum)
Q: % Preconditioning, % Sensation and % Natural Acceptance
13
Natural Acceptance
Acceptance
Given a choice, what would I
accept naturally?
Under the given circumstances,
what would I accept?
Natural Acceptance
Preconditioning, Sensation,
Natural Acceptance
E.g.
Relationship
E.g.
Sometimes relationship,
sometimes opposition
Food for health
Sometimes food for health,
sometimes food for taste
Clothes for protection of Body
Sometimes for protection of body,
sometimes for respect, show
14
Preconditioning = Assuming without self-verification
Knowing,
Assuming, Recognizing, Fulfilling
Problem (Samasya)
Education-Sanskar
Solution
(Samadhan)
Preconditioning or Assuming
without self-verification
Assumptions keep changing
Conduct is indefinite
(Dependence, Partantrata)
Knowing through self-verification
– on the basis of Natural Acceptance &
– on the basis of living accordingly
Assumptions on the basis of Knowing
are definite
Conduct is definite (Swatantrata)
15
Sensation
Physical thing  Contact with senses of body  Sensation (info from body)
 Tasted by self (I)
- If taste is favorable
 Happiness
- If taste is unfavourable  Unhappiness
Sensation of Sound, Touch, Form, Taste, Smell
4 Topics: Food, Sleep, Fear/Security, Sex
(shabd, sparsh, roop, ras, gandh ki samvedna
4 vishay: ahar, nidra, bhay, maithun)
Sensation can be a source of excitement. Since it only provides temporary
happiness, one gets bored, keeps changing from one sensation to another
Sensation can not be a source of continuous happiness (harmony)
a) Tasty-Necessary  Tasty-Unnecessary  Tasteless-Unnecessary 
Intolerable
(ruchikar-avashyak  ruchikar-anavashyak  aruchikar-unavashyak 
asahaniya)
b) Partantrata, uncertainity
16

Role of body or right utilisation of body
1. To communicate in order to understand (& help other understand)
2. Labour in order to obtain necessary PF for the body
3. For ensuring continuity of Human Tradition (new body)
17
Feeling from Other Human Being
Other Human Being  Expression of Feeling  Feeling Received
Evaluated by self (I)
- If evaluation is favorable
 Happiness
- If evaluation is unfavourable  Unhappiness
Feeling from other can not be a source of continuous happiness
(harmony)
a) Partantrata, uncertainity
18

Q: % Partantrata and % Swatantrata
24

About 5% desires are based on Natural Acceptance
About 60% desires are based on Preconditioning
About 35% desires are based on Sensation
Most of the Needs are based on Preconditioning or
Sensation
We are living mostly in Partantrata
Effort required for swatantrata:
Start evaluating desire on the basis of your natural
acceptance. If desire is naturally acceptable, it will
become definite & continue otherwise it will slowly
become corrected or drop off
