THE INTEGARTED INDIVIDUAL

A person with integrated self has all the four parts

of his being- physical, cognitive, emotional and

spiritual-in perfect harmony with one another.


4/14

PHYSICAL

An integrated individual possesses a healthy regard forhis body and lives according to the natural principles of

healthy living.

He does not flog his body to meet the needs of other

dimensions. He is aware as to what contributes to his physical health

and what does not.

He take nutritious and healthy food , does exercise,

yoga, walking, swimming etc to maintain the physicaltone: take sufficient rest, sleep etc.

Hence his body is capable of taking very hard work

when needed without succumbing


5/14

EMOTIONAL

He understands the need for an emotionally fulfilling life and

hence invests a lot in his relationships with his family,friends , relatives, neighbourhood and colleagues at the workplace.

He understands that one gets from others on the emotionalplane what one gives to them, hence he treat everyone with

lot of love, respect and understanding. This enables him to forge very enriching and life affirming

relationships with the members of his family, relatives,friends and colleagues.

Their love, loyalty and support toward these relations

generate an equivalent amount of love, loyalty and supportfrom the other side.

This generates a secure source of continuous emotionalfulfillment and happiness in their lives.

COGNITIVE

An integrated individual understands some

fundamental secrets of happiness and success at the

cognitive level.

He knows that there is a basic difference between need

and greed.

Needs can be fulfilled but greed cannot be fulfilled

because.

Greed is a sign of a feeling of lack in the self while

need is genuine and easily met.

Greed demands more and more without the desire ever

getting satisfied whereas needs is met very easily the

moment the desire object is gained.

CONTD.

Greed is like a moral black hole which sucks the

entire being( sum total of all the four dimensions

of a persons life) of the individual within itself and

yet remains as hungry as it always was.

By the time being has been sucked in all that

remains is a life in ruins ( in extreme cases) as may

happen to Chronic workaholics, criminals and law

breakers.

FACTSONTHECOGNITIVE LEVEL

An integrated individual understands the differences

between intrinsic and instrumental values of an

object on one hand and symbolic value on the other.

Intrinsic and instrumental value satisfy a real need

a symbolic value is the status symbol, an aspirational

function of a product or service that caters to a want

Want- it is lack of something with in the self

Hence for eg: craving for status symbols is a symptomof a deeper malaise afflicting the self


9/14

CONTD.

These use brands that give them quality productsand services and don not bother too much about

the aspirational values that may or may not be

embedded in those brands for others.

These people not bothered of the rat race and

henceforth they save a lot of mental energy, which

allows them to refocus this surplus energy for

achieving the tasks that are dear to their hearts.


10/14

CONTD.

They too require material wards but only at certain level

that helps them to maintain excellent lifestyle on the

material plane.

But fulfilling their work goals inspires them more than

material awards

These people become as an outstanding performer andleader within their organization
