Value-education through Anupreksha and Bhavana
(Contemplation and Auto-suggestion) : Value-oriented techniques are the backbone of Science of Living. The moral and spiritual values to be inculcated in the learner through the practice of Anupreksha or bhavana are : 1. Sense of duty 2. Self-dependence 3. Truthfulness 4. Reconciliation 5. Freedom from fanaticism 6. Human equality 7. Co-existence 8. Patriotism (Loyalty) 9. Mental equilibrium 10. Patience 11. Honesty 12. Compassion 13. Freedom from lust 14. Forbearance 15. Modesty 16. Freedom from conceit 17. Freedom from fear 18. Self-discipline 19. Friendliness 20. Freedom from avidity 21. Will-power 22. Detachment to the body These values cannot be inculcated merely by books or preaching. The exercises of auto-suggestion (bhavana) coupled with concentration on psychic centres and breath-control bring about required internal (chemical and electrical) changes with the ultimate result of transformation in personality. The teacher can devise similar value-imbibing exercises of bhavana or anupreksha to befit a particular learner to bring about his ultimate transformation. |
