What are five dimensions of universal human order? This question may come to your mind and you want to know about it. Here, I have the explanation about it according to another online source and you are able to check the explanation about it below.
According to the Digital G 1 site, here is the explanation about the five dimensions of human endeavour.
The five dimensions of human endeavour are listed below.
- Education – Right Living (Siksha – Sanskar)
In education, there is the understanding of harmony at all the four levels of our existence – from myself to the whole existence. Sanskar or right living refers to the ability to live in harmony at all four levels of living. Therefore, we need to ensure the availability and continuity of education – right living in our society. This dimension works to guarantee right understanding and right feelings.
Education is to understand harmony at all four levels of living.
Right living is commitment and preparedness to live in harmony at all four levels of living. - Health – Self Regulation (Swasthya – Sanyam)
Sanyam points to a feeling of responsibility to nurture, protect, and rightly utilize the body. If the body is fit to act according to the needs of the self (‘I’), and harmony exists among the parts of the body, it is called health or Swasthya.
Sanyam or self – regulation is the basis of Swasthya. - Justice – Preservation (Nyay – Suraksha)
Justice points to harmony in the relationship between human beings. Meanwhile, preservation refers to harmony in the relationship between human beings and the rest of nature. Justice exists in a relationship when there is mutual fulfilment i.e. both individuals are satisfied. It means that the values are rightly fulfilled, recognized, rightly evaluated, and mutual happiness is ensured. Mutual happiness is the purpose in the relationship and each one of us has a responsibility in guaranteeing continuity of justice or Nyaya in our society. We also need to work to ensure that our relationship with the rest of nature is mutually enriching for humanity and also for nature. This dimension works to guarantee Suraksha where it involves ensuring these three aspects.- Enrichment (I cultivate wheat; it enriches wheat as the quantity grows)
- Protection (I protect it so that it is fit to eat)
- Right utilization ( it is used to nurture the body and do not let it get wasted)
Justice: ‘Human-Human relation’ – its recognition, fulfilment, evaluation leads to mutual happiness.
Preservation: ‘Human-Rest of nature relation’ – its recognition, fulfilment, evaluation leads to mutual prosperity. – enrichment, protection, right use of nature.
- Production – Work (Utpadan – Kriya)
Work points to the physical efforts which are made by humans on the rest of nature. Meanwhile, production points to the output or physical product which is obtained through these efforts.
The Things to Produce:
As explained on the Digital G1 site, the decision of what to produce depends on the right identification of needs and for this, we need to identify the physical needs of the body, that is what is needed for the protection, nourishment, and right use of the body. When we see this, we are able to see that there is a need for clothing, food, shelter, and various kinds of instruments such as means of transport, remote viewing of images, communications and many more, for the right use of the body.
How to Produce:
You may wonder about how to produce. If so, we are referring to the technology or systems that we use for production. On the understanding of harmony in all levels of our life, it is obvious that there is balance which is inherent, a harmony in nature. So, it is natural if every production system that we design or implement is in the framework which is present in nature, that is it does not violate the framework or harmony in nature. When we see the way of how nature is organized, the things below become apparent. -
- The systems in nature are cyclic. It means that they are not open-minded.
- The systems in nature are mutually fulfilling or mutually enriching.
So, the way to produce is through the cyclical (Avartansheel) process, in harmony with nature.
-
- It needs to be cyclic.
- It needs to ensure that every unit is enriched.
Furthermore, it is explained that there are four different kinds of entities in nature. One type of entity contains materials such as water, air, soil, metals, and nonmetals and many more. The other type has herbs, plants and many more. The other type of the third type has animals and birds, and the fourth type has human beings. If you see their interrelationship, you will find that the plants, materials, and animals are enriching for the other entities and it includes human beings. Let’s say that we understand the process in nature. If so, we are able to design our production systems through the application of science and technology in such a way so that this mutual fulfilment is better ensured, rather than disturbing it.
- Exchange – Storage (Vinimaya – Kosh)
Exchange points the exchange of physical facilities between the members of the society. Meanwhile, storage points the storage of physical facilities that are left after fulfilling the needs of the family. You have to note that exchange and storage are done for mutual fulfillment and not for the madness of profit or exploitation or hoarding.
Exchange: exchanging of produce for mutual fulfilment ( with a view of mutual fulfilment, not madness of profit).
Storage: storing of produce after fulfilment of needs (with a view of right use in future, not hoarding)
Now, we are able to see how the five dimensions of humanistic society can ensure the human goal: having the process of education and right living, it will lead to the right understanding in the individual.
Education – right living will lead to right understanding.
Having the program for health and sanyam, it will lead to well being of the body, and identification of the need for physical facilities which along with production ensures the feeling of prosperity in the family.
Health – self regulation will lead to prosperity.
If justice in the relationship, or mutual fulfilment in the relationship is ensured on the basis of values like Trust, Respect and many more, it will lead to fearlessness in society. Meanwhile, Suraksha of nature – through enrichment, protection, and right use will lead to co-existence in nature.
Justice – Preservation will lead to fearlessness and co-existence.
Production and work are for physical facilities and it will lead to a feeling of prosperity in the family. Production is done in harmony with nature. Therefore, it also leads to co-existence with nature.
Production – work will lead to prosperity and co-existence.
At the time of we store and exchange for mutual fulfillment and not for exploitation, then it will lead to fearlessness (trust) in society.
Exchange – Storage will lead to prosperity and fearlessness.
