Human sentiments

In the collective life, people as individuals and as communities often have an emotional approach, which Sarkar calls the "sentiment." Sentiment is the emotions that allow people to maintain group relationships and in many cases are solidaryzowaniu community. However, targeting the emotions is not always beneficial to society and individuals. In many cases, the emotional bond is limited to a specific group of people, other members of the human family, relegating to the margins, allowing them humiliation, abuse and exploitation.

In many cases, our sentiments of use for its own benefit such as politicians or rulers. Manipulates the human beings in pursuit of economic, political or social. Used in a negative way, according to Sarkar These sentiments are causing divisions in society and the human family, are the source of wars, exploitation and injustice. Human sentiments, it is psychological, that place in a limited number of attachment units, pushing others aside. Sarkar human sentiment is divided into three main groups of sentiment:

Geo-sentiment - sentiment of

The feeling that comes from love of the land to the geographical area called a sentimental place - geo-sentiment. Sentiment is confined better feelings of human beings to specific geographical frameworks. Man ceases to be guided by logic and begins to follow the limits defined by that sentiment. Next, there are superstitions.

"All these theories - religious, economic, political or social - which was built based on the sentiment of the place, are inclined to superstition from the outset. These so-called re-League, which proclaim lofty ideals but are in fact directed sentimental place, transformed into tanks of superstition, blind faith in the oceans. Humanity sinking into a quagmire of superstition, and people have to wade in the filth for centuries. Their development is stopped forever. "

Such a commitment is often accompanied by the conviction of the uniqueness, the superiority of his own people over others. Sarkar determines that patriotism or nationalism as a "sentiment of" - "geo-sentiment." Sentiment is used in a negative way has become an emotional driving force of colonialism and imperialism.

"Now look at the effects of the sentiment of the place appointed. These places all religions, geo-economies, geo-sociology, geo-sentiment group - all these "geo" is associated with a particular country, with any particular party to the world. However, all countries and parties that are behind these sites are considered to be pagan. In accordance with the concepts of holiness and impurity, for one group is holy east, west again for another. Conflict arises as a result of these conflicting views, leading eventually to war and bloodshed. People have forgotten the elementary spirit of humanism, and departed from the principles of Dharma. "

Socio-sentiment - sentiment Group

Sentiment as a group, social sentiment Sarkar determined to identify more closely with their own race, religion, social class or gender, which is accompanied by exclusion of other social groups. Sentiment that was and still is the cause of many negative and destructive phenomena, ranging from social and sexual exploitation of women, economic exploitation of underdeveloped countries and ending slavery (in the form of hidden still occurring in modern times in the form of "sweatshopów" - establishments operating in underdeveloped countries ) or religious wars. At this very, awakened to the enormous size sentymencie based fascist or Nazi ideology. This is a glaring example of the use of negative and destructive of human tendencies and emotional attachments. Public sentiment in its maximum can be called "humanism."

"What is the humanity? It is the apogee of social sentiment. Is there a cure for all ills? Do you give the answer to all questions? It is not and can not. For two reasons. First, because even within the same humanism, there are still conflicts, intra-Humanities, and secondly, because the people living in the world are not the only beings - there are many other creatures. If zlekceważy be completely, it may indeed it will not cause any great conflict, because these creatures are mentally undeveloped (are developed physically, but mentally). That is why it is so easy for people to destroy the world of animals and plants, although it destroys the balance between the world of plant, animal and human - that will be disastrous consequences also for the people. "

And what does "... conflict within-humanist? Suppose that some people suffer from hunger and we shall bestow on them for food. This is definitely a very humane, but somewhere in the subconscious thinking to myself, "will be useful to us these poor people, as a supplier of raw materials for our industries, and then as a buyer for our finished products. And so have no obligation towards us. "

Human sentiment

The third sentiment, which does not allow people to embrace his love and compassion to all creatures, is a human sentiment - attachment to his own race and faith in its uniqueness. It is a sentiment which engages each larger group than the social sentiment, but still allows the operation of other creatures and inanimate nature. Man recognizes himself as a unique being, and denies the right to existence and feelings of other creatures and inanimate matter. Today's awakening awareness is a challenge precisely this sentiment that allows for the destruction of the environment, keeping millions of innocent animals for slaughter and destruction of ecosystems in which they live.

Sentiment and dogma

In the definition of human sentiments resemble Sarkar dogmas - the limitations imposed to the human mind, which does not allow us to go beyond the established patterns of behavior, reactions and emotions. Because human nature is to investigate, seek answers using your rational intellect, dogmatic constraints induce that the mind is not able to expand and evolve.

The sentiment is often accompanied by dogma, not only religious but also social or economic nature. Examples of such dogmatic thinking:
- My nation is a chosen people;
- Such and such an economic system is good for all;
- Meatless diet is not enough nutrition for the human body;
- Animals have no soul.

These dogmas impose himself voluntarily the same people, so as not to deprive themselves of pleasure, which is difficult for them to quit. Sarkar determine such sentimental approach, condemning us for their own convenience to dogmatism, as Atman Sukka tattva - The principle of selfish pleasure.

Neo-Humanist Education

To combat the negative sentiment, Sarkar recommended enlightened education that will stimulate a rational and critical thinking. Such education should extend our sense of identity with the circle of family and friends, the circle of people and sex, or religion for all mankind. Should learn from early childhood empathy of pain, hunger and suffering of all humanity. We should be aware that engaging in social assistance and environmental activities will give us a much more rewarding and will bring much more benefits than targeting the selfish interests of a narrow group of people. This sentiment should be expanded so much that we saw as our brothers and sisters also plants, animals and matter, and we guarantee them a decent standard of living and existence. Neohumanizmu concept is therefore the concept of universality - a philosophy by which a person begins to identify with all of humanity - with all his spiritual family. It will enable us to get out of the blind selfishness, attachment to family, religion, nation, gender, race and narrowly conceived of humanity and the affirmation of spiritual ecology. Neohumanistyczny recognizes human belief and all creation for the children of one Supreme Consciousness. For a person raised in such a world view disasters around the world will of its own misfortunes and will be actively involved in addressing the exploitation and injustice.

Spiritual sentiment - feeling devotion to the Supreme

Internal movement of man's existential consciousness is rhythmic. When that inner rhythm of a human being is in line with the rhythm of the surrounding world, then she felt enjoyment. When these two rhythms quarrel with each other, we feel the uncertainty, anxiety. The larger, progress in human rights sphere, the greater the pain causes the rhythm of mental maladjustment to the environment. Lack of harmony between the flow and movement of the external world inside the human causes that created a conflict within us, and it is much more strongly felt in the sphere of mental than physical realm.

The physical aspect of man's existence in the material world is the basis for the development of mental and to achieve the culmination of human possibilities and aspirations in the sphere of spiritual devotion in sentymencie to God. That sentiment is the greatest spiritual treasure of a man as it is toward the divine, to perfection.

In the past, invented many philosophies, some of which, although it sounded sweet to the ears and preached equality, proved to have nothing in common with the reality surrounding us, in which diversity is a fundamental principle. Others praised only the spiritual nature of man and reject the physicality of the world and the needs of the human body. All philosophies that do not fully comprehend the world around us and thus our minds are limited, causing degradation of our sentiment of spiritual degeneration, and thus our humanity.

Therefore, every human being should protect your interior against the pressure of spiritual materialism. We must protect our inner rhythm against the negative impacts of our surroundings. Such a protective barrier is the correct philosophy, which will establish harmony between the world of spiritual and material world.

Balance and social equality

Each object in the universe must exist in harmony with himself and the world around him. This applies to both living creatures and inanimate matter. This also applies to our planet. With the balance and harmony is possible movement of vital energy (prana) and create conditions suitable for sustaining life. Resulting from failure to comply with the surroundings and the degeneration of the human spirit by Sarkar sentiment gave rise to the loss of the balance of the planet. Widespread use of the material world and the exploitation of the flora and fauna as well as the entire human community meant that the planet loses the vital energy - prana - and the samy ability to sustain life itself. According to him, the only way to restore balance is to reject all dogmatic philosophy and doctrine to focus on principles of social equality. Only then will humanity be able to develop all their capabilities and the entire human potential. For this purpose it is necessary to use according to Sarkar entire physical, mental and spiritual potential of humanity and the planet for the good of all.

Neohumanizm is a concept aimed at ensuring all humanity and all beings prosperity and security in all three planes of existence, from the physical quality of life, stimulate intellectual development and spiritual. Allows you to liberate the mind from the constraints of narrow sentiments and doctrines in the society and educate them to the unifying spirit of solidarity. When mankind is able to embrace compassion and love the whole world, then will be guided by the principle of social progress in the Social Justice - Sam Samaj tattva.

On that principle is based on Social Justice presented by Sarkar socio-economic model of PROUT (Progressive Utilization Theory), which comes from a similar, what A. Maslow hierarchy of needs, assumptions - while still ensuring all people and meeting their minimum needs they can meet higher aspiration of their minds and personalities, pursuing the intellectual and spiritual level and become fully productive members of human society.

Prout, in contrast to the materialistic social models of capitalism (focused on the individual) and communism (concentrated on the matter) focuses on the spiritual aspect of man and the matter is treated as a means to achieve the highest state of evolution of consciousness.
Thus, Prout help meet human needs in the sphere of mental philosophy Neohumanizmu provides a solid foundation to maintain a balance between the inside man and his environment. In turn, the spiritual practices like meditation allows man to reach the heights of its development - it is a kind of ecology of the interior - purification of body and mind, which is the result of waking up in a man of love and compassion to the whole world around him. And the way of transformation, aiming toward the inside of a man transformed the world around us. For the better.
