miseries, the consequences of such events affect and effect more or less all the people of
            the world, directly or indirectly. In this context, it is interesting to note that just as we

            desire and aspire for certain things like money, harmony, respect, peace, happiness, etc.
            but despise poverty,  miseries, disharmony, disrespect, etc., similarly other people  also

            desire  or  despise  favourable       or unfavourable events, conditions and circumstances.
            People however, do not adequately realise this vital truth. The result is that Man in the

            pursuit of his goals, creates conflicts and bitterness with others and becomes a perennial
            source of difficulties and sufferings for himself as well as for others. In this connection

            Jeevanvidya states that -
                    "Men  must  behave  like  human  beings  with  other  people  irrespective  of  caste,

            creed, race or religion and sincerely endeavour to make each other happy. This is real
            adoration and worship of God, the truespirit of devotion and service to God, as also the

            essence of true religion.''
                    Briefly, JEEVANVIDYA points out that the human race can definitely march towards

            the cherished goal of equality, fraternity and tranquility, if Man makes a conscious effort
            to lead his life with wisdom realising the important doctrine of JEEVANVIDYA that,

                    "The state of Man's peace and happiness is in the welfare and well being of others
            and the state of his grief and misery is in the sorrows of others.''


                                                Purpose of Human Life

                    People  receive  good  or  bad  results  of  good  or  evil  actions  that  they  perform,
            according to the universal laws of nature. Even God does not interfere in any way nor is

            He partial or shows favours nor does He make any exceptions in respect of His laws of
            nature, which are applicable equally to all the people in the world, irrespective of caste,

            creed,  race  or  religion  to  which  they  belong.  Man  generally  breaks  the  laws  which  he
            himself makes, but God never breaks the universal laws of nature, which are part and

            parcel of the Cosmic Life Force. Hence it is essential that, right from childhood, people
            must  be  trained,  educated  and  brought  up  with  adequate  knowledge  about  these

            universal laws of nature according to which Man has to face good and evil consequences,
            as reactions to his good or evil actions. This is the only effective way to make the world

            happy and peaceful, there being no other alternate method to bring this about. In this
            context, another important aspect to remember is that people are not aware about the

            exact purpose of human life. Most of the people have misunderstood the very purpose for
            which they are blessed with human life. They assume that human birth is an inevitable
