Life is a series of Experiences and Responses – a Game between “Me”
and “The World”.
Of course, the world deals the experiences, and I have no control over them –
yet, I definitely have control over the responses.
To be happy, “I” need to play this game well, which means that I must
learn the Art of Right Response.
For that, I need to know Myself and the World well.
Learning the Art of Right Response is just like learning Music. First you break
it down into few basic notes and practice them. Slowly, you gain Mastery, and then
comes, from deep within you, the sweet melody of harmonious Music, giving immense
joy to the singer and the listener.
The World is a compound heterogeneous entity, and the Man who interacts with it
is himself a Complex being. Man relates to different aspects of the World from various
levels of his personality – physical, emotional, intellectual, beliefs or
spiritual. These interactions are highly intertwined and perpetually dynamic.
And we need a systematic understanding of the levels and laws of Self and the World,
followed by Intrapersonal and Interpersonal Integration. Such an integrated Individual,
always in harmony with himself and the world, is always happy!! For him, the Right
Response just happens!!
ATMA “Living in harmony” is a Practical Philosophy that helps the attainment
of Harmony through Holistic Intrapersonal & Interpersonal Integration of the
Individual.
It forms the basis of all ATMA Initiatives
