Quotes of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya - Integral Humanism - Cooperationism

From Lectures on 'Integral Humanism' by Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya (Upadhyay)

Quotations (Quotes) - Thoughts of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya

"Gandhiji himself had set out his idea of the independent Bharat in his book 'Hind Swaraj'.

"If we stop to analyse the reasons for the problems facing the country, we find that the confusion about out goal and the direction is mainly responsible for this chaos."

"There is generally, what is called a more or less common desire of the people of any nation. If this popular longing is made the basis of our aims, the common man feels that the nation is moving in a proper direction., and that his own aspiration is reflected in the efforts of the nation. This also generates the greatest possible feeling of unity."

"It is essential that we think about 'Our National Identity' without which there is no meaning of 'Independance".

"The basic cause of the problems facing Bharat is the neglect of Its 'National Identity".

"We had taken pride in resisting Things-British while They (Britishers) ruled us, but strangely enough, now that the Britishers have left, Westernisation has become synonymous with Progress."

"Western Science and the Western Ways of life are two different things. Whereas Western Science is Universal and must be absorbed by us if we wish to go forward, the same is not true about the Western Ways of life and values."

"In the past 1000 years whatever we assimilated-whether it was forced on us or we took with willingness-cannot be discarded now."

"The principles of Marx have changed both with the changing times as well as with varying conditions to the extent that parrot-like repetition of Marxism for solving problems facing our country would amount to a reactionary attitude rather than a scientific & pragmatic one."

"Human Knowledge is common property."

"Independance can be meaningful only if it becomes instrument for expression of our Culture."

"Both from the national as well as human stand point, it has become essential that we think of the principles of Bhartiya Culture."

"The fundamental characteristic of Bhartiya Culture is that it looks upon life as an integrated whole."

"There is diversity and plurality in life but we have always attempted to discover the unity behind them."

"Hegel put forward the principles of thesis, anti-thesis and synthesis; Karl Marx used this principle as a basis and presented his analysis of history and economics; Darwin considered the principle of survival of the fittest as the sole basis of life; but we in this country saw the basic unity of all life."

"The Unit of Seed finds expression in various forms-The Roots, The Trunk, The Branches, The Leaves, The Flowers and The Fruit. All these have different forms, colours and properties. Still we recognise their relation of unity with each other through seed."

"Unity in diversity and the expression of unity in various forms has remained the thought of Bhartiya Culture."

"Conflict is not a sign of culture of Nature rather it is a symptom of their degradation."

"Human nature has both tendencies--Anger & Greed on the one hand and Love & Sacrifice on the other."


"The principles of Ethics are not framed by any one, these are rather discovered."

"In Bharat the Principles of Ethics are termed as Dharma--The Laws of Life."

"When nature is channeled according to the principles of Dharma, we have culture & civilisation."

"The English word Religion is not the correct word for Dharma."

"Here in Bharat, we have placed before ourselves the ideal of the four fold responsibilities of catering to the needs of Body, Mind, Intellect and Soul with a view to achieve the integrated progress of Man."

"The longings for Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha (the four kind of human effort) are inborn in man and satisfaction of these in an integrated way is the essence of Bhartiya Culture."

"When State acquires all powers, both political and economic; the result is a decline of Dharma."

"A Nation is a group of persons who live with 'A Goal', 'An Ideal', 'A Mission' and look upon a particular piece of land as the Motherland. If either of the two--The Ideal and The Motherland--is missing, then there is no nation."

"Religion means a creed or a sect and it does not mean Dharma."

"Dharma is very wide concept which concerns all aspects of life sustaining the society."

"The fundamental principles of Dharma are eternal and universal. However, their implementation may differ according to time, place and circumstances."

"The nearest equivalent English term for Dharma can be 'Innate Law', though even that does not express the full meaning of Dharma. Since Dharma is supreme, our Ideal of the State has been 'Dharma Rajya'."

"Strength lies not in unrestrained behaviour but in well regulated action."
------------------------

We have to devise such an economic system, to create such infrastrucutre and to frame such regulations in which and which the inherent potentialities of man may find their highest fulfilment.

Economic system must achieve the production of all the basic things essential for the maintenance and development of people as well as the protection and development of the nation.

It is essential ... to use up that portion of the available natural resources which the nature itself will be able to recoup easily.

Milking rather than exploitation should be our aim.

Really speaking, our slogan should be that the one who earn will feed and every person will have enough to eat.

Any economic system must provide for the minimum basic necessities of human life to everyone.

The society must enable the individual to carry out his obligations to the society by properly educating him.

In the event of an individual falling prey to any disease, society must arrange for his treatment and maintenance.

To educate a child is in the interest of the society itself.

Education is ... investment. An educated individual will indeed serve the society.

Before, 1947, in all the princely states in India, no fees were charged for education. The highest education was free.

The guarantee of work to every able-bodied member of the society should be the aim of our economic system.

God has given hands to every man but hands by themselves have a limited capacity to produce. They need assistance of capital in the form of machines. Labour and capital bear the same relation to each other as that between man and nature. The world is a creation of these two. Neither of them can be neglected.

For capital formation, it is essential that a part of production be saved from immediate consumption, and be used for further production in future. Thus capital can be formed only by restraint on consumption.

Our machines must not only be tailored for our specific economic needs, but also must, at least avoid conflict with our socio-political and cultural objectives.

While considering the system of production, one must take into account the seven 'M's. These are (10 Man, (2) Material, (3) Money, (4) Management, (5) Motive power, (6) Market, and (7) Machine.













"Full employment must be a primary consideration and then the rest of the six factors suit this." (Explanation: The six other factors are: Material, Money, Management, Motive power, Market and Machine. Planning must be based on full employment and other factors must be determined by this main goal.)

"Our Aim: Progress & Happiness of Man... We want neither capitalism nor socialism. We aim at the progress and happiness of "Man", the Integral Man. The protagonists of the two systems fight with 'Man' on the stake. Both of them do not understand Man, nor do they care for his interest."

"Strength can be gained only from exercise and hard work."

"On the basis of integral humanism, we shall be able to reconcile nationalism, democracy, socialism, and world-peace with the traditional Bharatiya Culture and think of all these ideas in an integrated form."

"We are no achaeologists. We have no intention to become the custodians for a vast archaeological museum. Our goal is not merely to protect the culture but to revitalize it so as to make it dynamic and in tune with the time."

"We shall have to end up a number of traditions and set in reforms which are helpful in the development of values and of national unity in our society. We shall remove those traditions which obstruct this process."

"If today the society is gripped with evils like untouchability which lead men to treat other human beings as lower than themselves and thereby threaten the national unity, we shall have to end such evils."

" We shall be required to produce such institutions as will kindle the spirit of action in us, which will replace the selfcentredness and selfishness by a desire to serve the nation, which will produce not only sympathy towards our brethern, but a sense of affection and oneness with them."

" The place of Virat in the life of nation is similar to that of Prana in the body. ... Let us start carrying on this task of awakening the Virat of the nation with high sense of pride in our hoary glorious past, taking a realistic assessment of the present and having a great ambition for the future."

"With the support of Universal knowledge and our heritage, we shall create a Bharat which will excel all its past glories, and will enable every citizen in its fold to develop his manifold latent potentialities and to achieve, through a sense of unity with the entire creation, a state even higher than that of a complete human being."

Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya - Quotes in Hindi - पंडित दीन दयाल उपाध्याय उद्धरण - विचार

पंडित दीनदयाल उपाध्याय के विचार

एकात्म मानव दर्शन - सुरुचि प्रकाशन, केशव कुंज, झण्डेवाला, नयी दिल्ली - 1 1 0 0 5 5
एकात्म मानव दर्शन पर राष्ट्रीय संगोष्ठी



"स्वयं गांधी जी ने 'हिंद-स्वराज्य' लिखखर उसमें, स्वराज्य आने के बाद भारत का चित्र क्या होगा - इस पर अपने विचार रखे थे।"

"विश्र्व की प्रगति का अध्ययन कर लेने के बाद क्या हम भी उन्हें कुछ दे सकते हैं?"

"राष्ट्र की एक 'सामान्य इच्छा' नाम की कोई वास्तु होती है। उसको आधार बनाकर काम किया जाए तो सर्व सामान्य व्यक्ति को लगता है कि मेरे मन के अनुसार काम हो रहा है। उसमें से विचारोंका की अधिकतम एकता भी पैदा होती है।"

 "हमारी राष्ट्रीयता का आधार भारत माता हैं, केवल भारत ही नहीं. माता शब्द हटा दीजिये तो भारत केवल जमीन का टुकड़ा मात्र बनकर रह जायेगा। "


" नैतिकता के सिद्धांतों को कोई एक व्यक्ति नहीं बनाता है, बल्कि इनकी खोज की जाती है।"


 भारत में नैतिकता के सिद्धांतों को धर्म के रूप में माना जाता है - यानि जीवन के नियम.


 जब स्वाभाव को धर्म के सिद्धांतों के अनुसार बदला जाता है, तो हमें संस्कृति और सभ्यता प्राप्त होते हैं.


 यह जरुरी है कि हम 'हमारी राष्ट्रीय पहचान' के बारे में सोचते हैं, जिसके बिना आजादी' का कोई अर्थ नहीं है.


 अपने राष्ट्रीय पहचान की उपेक्षा भारत के मूलभूत समस्याओं का प्रमुख कारण है.


 अवसरवादिता ने राजनीति में लोगों के विश्वास को हिला दिया है.


 सिद्धांतहीन अवसरवादी  लोगों ने हमारे देश की राजनीति का बागडोर संभाल रखा  है.


 जब अंग्रेज हम पर राज कर रहे थे, तब हमने उनके विरोध में गर्व का अनुभव किया, लेकिन हैरत की बात है कि  अब  जबकि अंग्रेजों चले गए हैं, पश्चिमीकरण प्रगति का पर्याय बन गया है.


 पश्चिमी विज्ञान और पश्चिमी जीवन शैली दो अलग अलग चीजें हैं. चूँकि पश्चिमी विज्ञान सार्वभौमिक है और हम आगे बढ़ने के लिए इसे अपनाना चाहिए, लेकिन  पश्चिमी जीवनशैली  और मूल्यों के सन्दर्भ में यह सच नहीं है.


 पिछले 1000 वर्षों में जबरदस्ती या अपनी इच्छा से, चाहे जो कुछ भी हमने ग्रहण किया है - अब उसे ख़ारिज नहीं किया जा सकता.


 मानवीय  ज्ञान  आम संपत्ति है.


 आजादी सार्थक तभी हो सकती है जब यह हमारी संस्कृति की अभिव्यक्ति का साधन बन जाए.


मानवीय और राष्ट्रीय दोनों तरह से, यह आवश्यक हो गया है कि हम भारतीय संस्कृति के सिद्धांतों के बारे में सोचें.


 भारतीय संस्कृति की मूलभूत विशेषता है कि यह जीवन को एक एकीकृत रूप में देखती है.


 जीवन में विविधता और बहुलता है लेकिन हमने हमेशा उनके पीछे छिपी एकता को खोजने का प्रयास किया है.


 हेगेल ने थीसिस, एंटी थीसिस और संश्लेषण के सिद्धांतों को आगे रखा, कार्ल मार्क्स ने इस सिद्धांत को एक आधार के रूप में इस्तेमाल किया और इतिहास और अर्थशास्त्र के अपने विश्लेषण को प्रस्तुत किया, डार्विन ने  योग्यतम की उत्तरजीविता के सिद्धांत को जीवन का एकमात्र आधार माना; लेकिन हमने  इस देश में सभी जीवों की मूलभूत एकात्म देखा है.


 बीज की एक इकाई विभिन्न रूपों में प्रकट होती है - जड़ें, तना, शाखाएं, पत्तियां, फूल और फल. इन सबके रंग और गुण अलग-अलग होते हैं. फिर भी बीज के द्वारा हम इन सबके एकत्व के रिश्ते को पहचान लेते हैं.



 धर्म के मौलिक सिद्धांत अनन्त और सार्वभौमिक हैं. हालांकि, उनके कार्यान्वयन का  समय और स्थान परिस्थितियों के अनुसार भिन्न हो सकती है.


 धर्म के लिए निकटतम समान अंग्रेजी शब्द  'जन्मजात कानून' हो सकता है. हालाँकि यह भी धर्म का पूरा अर्थ को व्यक्त नहीं करता है. चूँकि धर्म सर्वोच्च है,  हमारे राज्य के लिए आदर्श 'धर्म का राज्य' होना चाहिए.


 शक्ति अनर्गल व्यवहार में व्यय न हो बल्कि  अच्छी तरह विनियमित कार्रवाई में निहित होनी चाहिए.

 मुसलमान हमारे शरीर का शरीर और हमारे खून का खून  हैं.


 विविधता में एकता और विभिन्न रूपों में एकता की अभिव्यक्ति भारतीय संस्कृति की विचारधारा में रची- बसी हुई है.


 संघर्ष सांस्कृतिक स्वाभाव का एक संकेत नहीं है बल्कि यह उनके गिरावट का एक लक्षण है.


 मानव प्रकृति में दोनों प्रवृत्तियां रही हैं - एक ओर क्रोध और लालच तो दूसरी  ओर प्रेम और बलिदान.

 अंग्रेजी का शब्द रिलिजन धर्म के लिए सही शब्द नहीं है.


 यहाँ भारत में, व्यक्ति के एकीकृत प्रगति को हासिल के विचार से, हम स्वयं से पहले शरीर, मन, बुद्धि और आत्मा की चौगुनी आवश्यकताओं की पूर्ति का आदर्श रखते हैं.


 धर्म, अर्थ, काम और मोक्ष (मानव प्रयास के चार प्रकार) की  लालसा व्यक्ति में जन्मगत होता है और इनमें संतुष्टि एकीकृत रूप से भारतीय संस्कृति का सार है.


 जब राज्य में समस्त शक्तियां समाहित होती हैं - राजनीतिक और आर्थिक दोनों - परिणामस्वरुप धर्म की गिरावट होता है.


 एक राष्ट्र लोगों का एक समूह होता है जो एक लक्ष्य ',' एक आदर्श ',' एक मिशन' के साथ जीते हैं और एक विशेष भूभाग को अपनी मातृभूमि के रूप में देखते हैं. यदि आदर्श या मातृभूमि  दोनों में से किसी का भी लोप हो तो एक राष्ट्र संभव नहीं हो सकता.


 रिलिजन का मतलब एक पंथ या संप्रदाय कहै और इसका मतलब धर्म तो कतई नहीं.


 धर्म एक  बहुत व्यापक अवधारणा है जो समाज को बनाए रखने के जीवन के सभी पहलुओं से संबंधित है.

Quotations of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan

"Hinduism is wholly free from the strange obsession of some faiths that the acceptance of a particular religious metaphysics is necessary for salvation, and non-acceptance thereof is a heinous sin meriting eternal punishment in hell."

"Hinduism is not bound up with a creed or a book, a prophet or a founder, but is persistent search for truth on the basis of a continuously renewed experience. Hinduism is human thought about God in continuous evolution."

"Hinduism is not just a faith. It is the union of reason and intuition that cannot be defined but is only to be experienced. Evil and error are not ultimate. There is no Hell, for that means there is a place where God is not, and there are sins which exceed his love."

“Love thy neighbor as thyself because you are your neighbor. It is illusion that makes you think that your neighbor is someone other than yourself. ”

Human life as we have it is only the raw material for Human life as it might be.

"Hinduism has come to be a tapestry of the most variegated tissues and almost endless diversity of hues."

"Hinduism is … not a definite dogmatic creed, but a vast, complex, but subtly unified mass of spiritual thought and realization. Its tradition of the God ward endeavor of the human spirit has been continuously enlarging through the ages."

"Hinduism is an inheritance of thought and aspiration, living and moving with the movement of life itself."

"In the history of the world, Hinduism is the only religion that exhibits a complete independence and freedom of the human mind, its full confidence in its own powers. Hinduism is freedom, especially the freedom in thinking about God."

"A large part of the world received its religious education from India … In spite of continuous struggle with theological baggage, India has held fast for centuries to the ideals of spirit."

"From the time of the Rig Veda till today, India has been the home of different religions and the Indian genius adopted a policy of live and let live towards them. Indian religion never quite understood the idea of exclusive worship. Indian religious tradition admits all forms in which the single truth is reflected. Proselytism is discouraged. It is not God that is worshipped but the group or the authority that claims to speak in his name."

"The truth suggested in the Vedas are developed in the Upanishads. We find in the seers of the Upanishads, an utter fidelity to every layer and shade of truth as they saw it. They affirm that there is a central reality, the one without a second, who is all that is and beyond all that is."

Books are the means by which we build bridges between cultures.

"If the Upanishads help us to rise above the glamour of the fleshy life, it is because their authors, pure of soul, ever striving towards the divine, reveal to us their pictures of the splendors of the unseen. The Upanishads are respected not because they are a part of Sruti or revealed literature and so hold a reserved position but because they have inspired generations of Indians with vision and strength by their inexhaustible significance and spiritual power. Indian thought has constantly turned to these scriptures for fresh illumination and spiritual recovery or recommencement, and not in vain. The fire still burns bright on their altars. Their light is for the seeing eye and their message is for the seeker after truth."

"The Gita appeals to us not only by its force of thought and majesty of vision, but also by its fervor of devotion and sweetness of spiritual emotion."

"Hinduism recognizes that each religion is inextricably bound up with its culture and can grow organically. While it is aware that all religions have not attained to the same level of truth and goodness, it insists that they all have a right to express themselves. Religions reform themselves by interpretations and adjustments to one another. The Hindu attitude is one of positive fellowship not negative tolerance."

"Tolerance is the homage which the finite mind pays to the inexhaustibility of the Infinite."

"Hinduism according to him is not a religion, but a commonwealth of religions. "It is more a way of life than a form of thought….The theist and the atheist, the skeptic and the agnostic may all be Hindus if they accept the Hindu system of culture and life. Hinduism insists not on religious conformity but on a spiritual and ethical outlook of life…Hinduism is not a sect but a fellowship of all who accept the law of right and earnestly seek for the truth."

"Hinduism represents an effort at comprehension and cooperation. It recognizes the diversity in man's approach towards, and realization of, the one Supreme Reality. For it the essence of religion consists in man's hold on what is eternal and immanent in all being."

"For the Hindu, every religion is true, if only its adherents sincerely and honestly follow it. They will then get beyond the creed to the experience, beyond the formula to the vision of the truth."

"Hinduism represents the spirit, the spirit that has such extraordinary vitality as to survive political and social changes. From the beginning of recorded history, Hinduism has borne witness to the sacred flame of spirit, which must remain forever, even while our dynasties crash and empires tumble into ruins. It alone can give our civilization a soul, and men and women a principle to live by."

"The Hindu realizes not only that all roads lead to the one Supreme, but that each one must choose that road which starts from the point at which he finds himself at the moment of setting out."

"My religious sense did not allow me to speak a rash or a profane word of anything which the soul of man holds or has held sacred. The attitude of respect for all creeds, this elementary good manner in matters of spirit, is bred into the marrow of one's bones by the Hindu tradition."

Religion is essentially an initiation into inwardness, a cleansing of internal life. When once the individual becomes inwardly single, he lives for humanity. He stands out for truth and fears none even when isolated and subdued. You may deride him, persecute him but he will not retaliate.  

GURUJI GOLWALKAR’s thought on Indian Educational System

The right attitudes and aspirations have to be implanted in the young minds right from the elementary school stage. For that we should draw upon the limitless storehouse of our ancient as well as modern literature which depicts our mighty national heroes and events. Especially our young men must be made to feel proud of being born in the great lineage of Rishis and Yogis.

Thoughts on Quotes by Swami Chinmayananda - 3 - March

 

1. To accomplish very difficut tasks on earth you need to have faith in your ability to complete the task and in God's support for all good deeds. You can't leave the task to God. Blind faith in goodness of God is impotent. Lack of faith in God and society also will not help. Have faith that God and Society support good deeds with do them with honest and sincere efforts.

 

2. Action is everything we think and do. What you think is also action and it will have an effect. Don't allow bad thoughts to germinate in your brain and mind.

 

3. Your thoughts determine the quality of your action. Your thoughts depend on your understanding. Think and wish good things for others. Good actions follow.
