Prana Dharma by P. R.Sarkar
The Sine Qua Non of Human Existence
In this universe there are people whose thoughts, character and
behaviour are similar – similar but not identical. Differences in
human character and mentality, which are reflected in external human
conduct, are due to varying propensities and tendencies. This is what
accounts for the differences between people. Just as individual human
beings have their distinctive characteristics, similarly, groups of
people brought up in various geographical environments, historical
eras, or cultural atmospheres, acquire their own group
characteristics, too. Later those characteristics inherent in a
particular group get mixed with the internal thoughts and ideas of
other groups within a society. This leads to the development of
national characteristics.

<*THE HUMAN SEARCH FOR REAL PROGRESS*> by P. R. Sarkar [Book:PROUT in
a Nutshell,Part 06:09]

The human search for real progress by P. R. Sarkar
What is progress? "Prakrsta gati ityartha pragati." Where movement is
towards Shubha it is called progress. Where movement is not associated
with Shubha it is retardation. For instance, going up the hill or down
are both movements, but in different directions.
What is progress in the real sense? Normally, people associate the
word progress with scientific progress, but actually, scientific
progress may or may not be true progress. The essence of progress is
movement towards Shubha.
Human existence is trifarious. It has the physical, the intellectual
and the spiritual aspects. There is movement in all three spheres, and
therefore there can be progress in all three spheres. The main
consideration, however, iswhat is the goal or the aim of movement? Or
in other words, what is the summum bonum of life? The movement which
leads from Shubha to Parama-shubha is progress.

<*THEORY AND PRACTICE*> by P. R. Sarkar [Book:PROUT in a Nutshell,Part
06:08]

Theory and practice by P. R. Sarkar
The theory which springs out of fundamentals can be materialized with
littleeffort. But that materialization will depend upon the effort,
time and opportune moment. When theory precedes practice, however, the
theory may or may not be materialized. There are four main factors
which are responsible for the failure of any theory.
The first factor is the hypocrite's psychology. Hypocrites formulate
theories without the leastintention of materializing them. By
exploiting the name of a theory they serve their own purpose and that
of their group. But without making any effort to materialize their
theories, how will they beput into practice? They are obviously only
for show. People formulated many such theories in the past and are
still doing so even today. Such hypocrites want to misguide the people
by their tall talks alone. Lord Shiva had this to say about such
people: "Loka Vyámoha Káraka." That is, "They create disease in the
minds of the people." Their aim is not to solve society's problems

[Book:PROUT in a Nutshell,Part 06:07]

Universality in race, language, religion and culture by P. R. Sarkar
The subject matter for today's discourse is, "Universality in Race,
Language, Religion and Culture". Though there aresome apparent or
prima facie differences in language, colour, etc. in human beings,
still in all essential matters they come from the same source, they
originate from One Singular Entity –Parama Puruśa. There may be
linguistic differences, colour differences, national differences, but
all these are external and apparent. It is the language of the heart,
thelanguage of sentiment, and not the language of the tongue, that
should be heard.
No language can claim to be an original language – neither English,
nor Telegu nor Bengali. The English language is not anoriginal
language. Nine hundred years ago there was no English language, one
thousand-five hundred years ago there was no Bengali language and
eight hundred years ago there were no Angika,Maithili and Assamese
languages. Modern English is a mixture of theScotch tongue, the old
Norman tongue, the Anglo-Saxon tongue, the Briton tongue, the Celt
tongue, and the Latin and Greek tongues. All these tongues gave birth
to modern English. Till the days of King Alfred the Great there was no
approved standard of English vocabulary. Similarly, the Bengali
language consists of Saḿskrta roots and words, and a large number of
English, Japanese, Portuguese and Arabic words. Again, Telegu language
is composed of Cantonese, Indonesian and Malaysian words and a number
of Saḿskrta words.

<*CIVILIZATION, SCIENCE & SPIRITUAL PROGRESS*> by P. R. Sarkar
[Book:PROUT in a Nutshell,Part 06:06]

Civilization, science and spiritual progress by P. R. Sarkar
Today, the subject of my discourse is "Civilization, Science and
Spiritual Progress". The collective name of different expressions of
human life is culture. I may as well tell you at the very outset that
culture is one for the whole human race.
What is civilization? The subtle sense of refinement that we come
across in the different expressions of life is calledcivilization. Let
me give you an example. Suppose some guests have arrived at our home.
We may address them imperatively, "Come" or we may welcome them by
saying, "Please come in." This polite address by adding the word
"please" speaks of civilization or a civilized address, for herein the
subtle sense of refinement is evident. The imperative word, "come",
bereft of warmth, only smacks of lack of culture. So we see there are
both good and bad sides to culture, but the subtle sense of refinement
is the touch-stone of civilization.The subtle sense of refinement that
we get in culture intrinsically imbibes the human power of
discriminative judgement. We may call those human acts and behaviour
civilized that give evidence of this discriminative judgement,in a
great measure. It is sometimes noticed in certain groups of people
that their actions have thesupport of judgement, and then again in
some others that there is an absence of it. If judgement were based
merely on this basis, to call the former civilized and the latter
half-
civilized would not be fair or desirable.
In the Indian social system women have beengiven a motherly status,
but in the practical field they are not given the same amount of
prestige. Conversely, in the European society, though motherly status
is nil, women certainly enjoy equal rights and prestige in the
practical field. Now it is very hard to say which of the two is more
civilized. But I would say, the greater the support of judgement in
action and behaviour, the better shall be the expression and
development of civilization.

<*HUMAN PROGRESS*> by P. R. Sarkar [Book:PROUT in a Nutshell,Part
06:05]

Human progress by P.R. Sarkar
There are three fundamental strata in the manifest universe: physical,
metaphysical and causal. Over and above, there is one transcendental
sphere. Such are the three strata in the human entity, too: crude,
subtle and causal. And there is one reflected consciousness besides.
There is no question of any develop ment in the conscious sphere
because "Atman" is a non-attributed transcendental entity. Where there
is imperfection and imperma nence, there lies the scope for
development. The movement from imperfection towards perfection is
called progress. There cannot be any development in the transcendental
sphere, which is perfect and eternal, though there is full scope for
it in the psychic world. The crude body is made up of five rudimental
factors, which are nothing but the crude manifestation of Macrocosm.
These fundamental factors are the constituent parts of the physical
bodies of all created beings.
The One who is the origin of all beings is the Supreme Entity. The
Supreme Entity belongs toall, equally. To get protection and to enjoy
the manifested universe of the Supreme Entity is the birthright of
each and every being. Nobody has any right to accumulate excessive
wealth. To accumulate and desire more mundane property is a crime
against society and a sin against God. It isa highly immoral and
antisocial action. To fight such vested interests and to wage a war
against such antisocial activities is upright and sacramental.
