HUMAN ASPIRATION
 
1. Human Aspirations :
  a.

The aim of human life a
Each human being is composed of three basic aspects: physical, mental and spiritual. The physical aspect is the realm of the physical body, the mental aspect is the realm of the mind, of thoughts, and feelings, and the spiritual aspect is the realm of the soul and Infinite Consciousness.

  b.
Human beings have longings associated with each of the basic aspects in their nature, and these longings in turn give rise to desires. The most fundamental of all these longings, however, is the longing for the Infinite. The longing for the infinite can only be satisfied fully in the spiritual realm which is by nature infinite.
  c.
The purpose of human life is to awaken the longing for the Infinite and merge one’s individual, entitative existence into Infinite Consciousness. Thus spiritual development is the primary aim of human life.
  d.
Spiritual development, however, also requires proper physical and mental development. In order to develop spiritually, people also have to learn how to develop themselves properly in the physical and mental realms.
     
2. All–round human development:
  a.

To develop their all-round potential, people will have to learn how to develop themselves fully in each of the physical, mental and spiritual realms. An important part of this process involves people learning how to transform their physical longings into mental longings and then how to transform their mental longings into spiritual realization.

  b.
Acquiring such knowledge and putting it into practice is essential if humanity is to take the next step on the path of human evolution. Such knowledge is a birthright; therefore it will have to be made freely available to all.
  c.
People today are immersed in the physical realm, in materialism.They have very little understanding of spirituality, nor do theyknow how to develop their spiritual potential. Moreover, they are still trying to learn how to develop their full physical and mental potential.
     

3. Human needs and human desires:

  a.

Human needs are few in number. People generally need very little in order to lead satisfying and successful lives.

  b.
Human desires, on the other hand, are endless. Whether or not they are aware of it, each human being is engaged in an endless effort to try and satisfy their desires. The moment one desire is fulfilled another arises, hence trying to satisfy all these desires is a never-ending process
  c.
Thus human beings have few needs and endless desires.
  d.
As a matter of principle, the physical, mental and spiritual needs of all people have to be met. But in order for the needs of all to be meet, people will have to agree on what constitutes a common set of needs, implement a system which actually enables them to get those needs met, and ensure that in such a system the actions of some do not jeopardize the ability of others to get their needs met on a continuing basis.
  e.
People’s endless desires, on the other hand cannot be satisfied in the same manner. The only way for people to satisfy their endless desires is for them to awaken the longing for spiritual development. That is, their endless desires will have to be transformed into the longing for the Infinite.
     
4. Redirecting endless human desires away from the physical realm:
  a.
If people’s endless desires are allowed unrestricted expression in the physical realm, they will try to accumulate an infinite amount of physical wealth.
  b.
The amount of physical wealth, though vast, is limited. The accumulation of physical wealth by an individual, a group or a society, over and above an amount which may be reasonably considered to be necessary to meet their physical needs for the present and the foreseeable future, will automatically reduce the amount of physical wealth available to others.
  c.
Thus people will have to redirect their endless desires away from the physical realm into the mental and spiritual realms if the physical needs of all are to be met.
  d.
In fact, in order for the physical needs of all to be met, there is no alternative but for people’s endless desires for limited physical wealth to be curtailed and redirected away from the physical realm into the mental and spiritual realms.
   

 

6. The most urgent problem in the world today:
  a.
Today many people in undeveloped and developing countries, as well as some people in developed countries, are struggling to get their physical needs met.
  b.

The most pressing issue today is to provide all the people in the world with their physical needs. This is the single most urgent problem in the world today.

     
7. A new socio-economic system:
  a.
To ensure that the physical needs of all do get met, people will have to adopt a new socio-economic system which guarantees all members of society the basic requirements of life.
  b.
Such a socio-economic system, in addition, will have to restrict the expression of people’s endless desires in the physical realm, provide them with the opportunity to develop their potential in all the realms, and encourage them to transform their endless desires into the longing for the Infinite.
  c.

There is no alternative.
