Different levels of Human Behavior...

           An Individual human being is a mental creature but inheriting his physical, vital & animal propensities.

          It always pulled by two contrary urges… 
          (i) An urge towards pleasure, happiness & satisfaction of all sorts, i.e. a pleasure hunting tendency, 

          (ii) An inclination towards the discovery of what is right & good at that moment and in that given situation, i.e. a truth seeking drive.

          These two types of urges are almost always in conflict and fight to gain control of the dynamic will of the individual, to make him act out of the resultant.

The ‘Upanishads’ have declared that the “Mind is the Leader of the Vital and the Physical”.

          But in fact, instead of being the leader, it is most often led by the Physical & Vital pushes and passions. The Vital is supposed to be blind and impetuous, whereas the Mind is considered to be poised, discriminatory and rational. Now these two faculties often come into conflict in the affairs of daily life and the dealings of an individual.

          The Human behavior and nature and the mode of one’s actions and reactions are mostly governed and shaped by the outcome of the conflict between two opposing contenders & giving exposure to FIVE different levels of HUMAN BEHAVIOR.

   When…!

1. The Vital is active and dominant and the Mind is silent and passive. 

    Result: The Individual is in any given situation, completely driven by 

                  psychological resultant and there is no ‘freedom’. 

2. The Mind tries likely fight and then allows Vital to go on its track 

    Result: The Individual continues to act as slave. 

3. The Mind justifies the cause of pleasure seeking Vital. 

     Result: The Individuals smoothly glide downhill, not the manner of a 

                   free man. 

4. The Mind offers successful battle & holds its ground and keeps the Vital at bay. 

     Result: The Individual does indeed what he thinks to be right at the 

                   moment but Vital withdraws all the energy & happiness from 

                   the being, not a desirable state. 

5. The Mind becomes successful ‘leader’ and converter of the Vital, so that the Vital finds genuine happiness in collaborating with the Mind.

     Result: THIS IS WHAT NEEDED.
