Work Life Harmony

A common complaint heard in modern corporate is the impingement of office hours in family life and vice-versa resulting in dissatisfaction at home and at the workplace. The success of an individual depends on how one harmonizes the various roles one plays at the office, home, society etc. This harmony hinges on self- management and study of oneself in entirety is the starting point. The inner personality of an individual comprises mind and intellect. Mind is the seat of emotions whereas intellect is the faculty of judgment and discrimination. The intellect’s ability to control and guide the mind is the essence of self-management.

Nature of Human Mind

Mind is an instrument at the disposal of a human being. By itself it is neither good nor bad. The individual who uses his mind is responsible for the effects that he brings upon himself. Mind is said to be the cause of bondage as well as liberation of an individual. The mind of even an adult behaves like a child. It needs the control, direction & guidance of the intellect. It is in our interest that we understand the nature of the human mind. A few traits of the human mind and the consequent effects are discussed in this talk.

Role of Faith

Faith is the basis of all our experiences and relationships. A mind constantly in doubt remains ever agitated. What exactly is faith? Is faith blind by definition? What is the role of intellect vis-à-vis faith? Pursuit of unknown begins with faith and culminates in knowledge. In Sanatana Dharma, the unknown God is not an object of speculation, but a subjective realization. Hence we are encouraged to be seekers of Truth rather than merely be blind believers of God. A deeper faith in the Reality based on scriptures coupled with a determination to know It through personal experience is termed Shraddha.

3C Intellect

Intelligence is being well-informed in one or more subjects. It is what we acquire from books, universities and other external sources. Even animals possess specific intelligence. Intelligence may help us to improve the standard of living. But standard of life is improved by intellect. Intellect is developed by oneself through the process of original thinking. This capacity is prerogative of human beings. Intellect ensures both peace and prosperity in our lives. And also guide us towards the ultimate goal. 3C Intellect refers to the three functional aspects of a well-developed intellect viz. choice, control, and creativity.
