Basic Aim of Personality is :Management

What is Management ?

MANAGEMENT :

A DISCIPLINE BORROWED FROM THE WEST HAS REDUCED “ MAN MAN ” TO A MERE WORKER, ALWAYS IN THE STREAM OF ECONOMIC ORDER.

Only The material progress has become the Index of Growth, Development and prosperity.

The grand workshop of spiritual experiment, the laboratory of soul has been INDIA, where Thousands of great spirits have been born in every generation who were content to work quietly in their own souls, perfect their knowledge, hand down their results of their experiments to a few disciplines and leave the rest to others to complete.

SRI AUROBINDO SAYS

The work which India has to do for humanity is a work which no

other nation can accomplish - the spiritualization of

race - whole globe.

SABCL Vol. 1 P 799

Charity begins at home, likewise management begins from man.

Management means computation of gone-by, care of the current & caution for the future.

Maximum of results with minimization of resources through better allocation & utilization process, is perhaps the test of a better management system.

The Negation of Management is :

Disorder

Confusion

Wastage

Detention

Delay

Decadent

Death

Western Management specially USA Insists upon

More and more goods

Still better & Variety of Good

Cheaper Goods irrespective of cost, Quality and Service

Interest for profit all round

No more common understanding between WORKERS and MANAGERS

To the Western Management :

The worker is all, MAN stands no where, Worker is a hired commodity.

Disregard of human approach, Loss of Human Values and erosion of human touch in Organizational

Hierarchy are the results.

Wealth is gained, but soul is Lost

In this process:

“ While the soul within remains defectively organized there will always be outward

unrest, disorder and Revolution.”

“ The Hour of God ”

For Man Intellectually developed, mighty unscientific knowledge and mastery, the elements as his Servants and the world as his Foot stool, but undeveloped in heart and spirit becomes only inferior kind of ASURA, using the powers of a demigod to satisfy the nature of an animal.

Values If the “ self” is widened and deepened so that protection of free nature is felt and conceived as protection of ourselves .... -- (Arne Naess)

..... just as we need no morals to make us breathe ... (so) if our “self” in the wide sense embraces another being, we need no moral exhortation to show care.

The two tendencies - Self assertive and Integrative are essential aspects of all living system.

Neither is intrinsically good or bad.

What is good or healthy is a - Dynamic Balance

what is bad or unhealty is a- Imbalance or Over emhasis of one tendency and Neglect of other

Values (contd.)

Western industrial culture or Corporate culture

anywhere in the world have overemphasized the Self Assertive

and neglected the Integrative tendencies. More so self assertive values are associated with Men in our society.

James Lovelock through his illuminating insight has led to formulate a model, most comprehensive expression of Self OrganizationSelf Organization . .

THE IDEA THAT THE PLANET EARTH AS A WHOLE IS A LIVING VIBRANT, SELF ORGANIZING SYSTEM.

Entire Cosmos is an intricate web of interpenetrating things and events.

The bootstrap image of reality put forward by Geoffrey Chew shows that Boot straps cannot be loosened any where without so loosening it every where and it cannot be tightened up at every other point as well. So complete and uncompromising is the UNITY and INTERDEPENDENCE.

The Cardinal assumptions of Spiritual approach are

•Harmony

•Interdependence

•Unity

•Creativity

•Evolutionary possibilities

* Managers as well as work force

* Vice Chancellor as well as Faculty, students and staff

* Land Owners as well as Farm hands

* Commander in Chief as well as soldiers

* Executive heads as well as rest of establishment

Stress on Karma Yoga in Geeta has been referred as

“ Yogah Karmasu Kaushalam”

What is Kaushalam

It is a very different order of “skill” that Sri Krishna has in mind, as may be seen here –

“ the liberated who has united his reason and will with divine

Rises to a higher law beyond good and evil

Action done in yoga is not only highest but also wisest, the most potent and efficient even for the affairs of world.

“ Yoga is skill in all works - Sri Aurobindo

Yoga is the exchange of an egoistic for a universal or cosmic consciousness lifted towards or

informed by supra-cosmic, transcendent, unnamable who is the source and and support of all

things.

WHAT IS YOGA

Yoga is the passage of human thinking; animal towards the God-consciousness from which he has descended (bhatka hua devta) SRIRAM SHARMA ACHARYAJI.

Yoga begins when Man Awakens to an existence beyond, when he senses or feels a greater consciousness operative in the world, when he turns inwards & seeks to discover the divine in himself, in the world or Beyond.

At developing an integrated man,

A psychic man,with vision

A spiritual man with developed Self

A perfect man and An Individual

SUCH AN INDIVIDUAL ALONE WILL CONSTITUTE A HUMAN FACTOR OF

21ST CENTURY

In each individual there is a core or essence, which is an independent perfect constant, characterized by:

•unchanging self-existence poornatwa (wholeness) and ananda (bliss).

• It lies obscured and unfelt because of the mental and corporeal egoistic superimpositions. Contd …

HOLISTIC MANAGEMENT

By patient detachment if this layer is thinned or removed, the individual core Self and the Universal Self then come into immediate contact. All actions by the individual then become true and correct since they are thereafter the expressions of the error-free Universal or Divine Will, or The Transcendental Self, Intelligence, Truth, Consciousness.

Study Practice of Nishkam- Karma leads to :                     A stress-free mind at work,                   A feeling for works as act of consecration,                   A pure, transparent mind,                   An abiding instinct for ethical rectitude,                   An inner sanctuary of fullness,                   An all-embracing , other-related mind.

Nishkam- Karma

Contd …

All of them, in turn, should catalyze, in the course of time, a humble yearning for the Cosmic Will, the infallible Supreme Intelligence, the Secret Intent. This feeling will energize, empower and align the worker with the most unitive, holistic of all forces.
