CHAPTER II :

Self- Exploration As The Process Of Value Education

Self-Exploration:

It is the process of finding out what is valuable to me by


investigating within myself.

Exploration = Observing Outside

Self-Exploration = Observing Inside


Purpose of Self-Exploration:

1. It is a process of dialogue between ‘what you are’ and ‘what you


really want to be’.
2. It is a process of self evolution through self-investigation.

3. It is a process of knowing oneself and through that, knowing the


entire existence.
4. It is a process of recognizing one’s relationship with every unit in
existence and fulfilling it.

5. It is a process of knowing human conduct, human character and


living accordingly.

with entire existence.

Content of Self-Exploration:

It involves finding answers for the following –

My Desire (Aspiration)

My Program (Process to fulfill my aspirations)


Process of Self-Exploration:

The following points are to be kept in mind regarding the process of


Self-Exploration:

Whatever is stated is a proposal

Don’t start by assuming it to be true or false

Verify it on your own right

Don’t just accept or reject it on the basis of scriptures,


instruments or on the basis of others.

The following two steps are involved in the process of


Self-Exploration:

-Firstly, verify the proposal on the basis of your natural acceptance.

-Secondly, live according to the proposal to validate it experientially.


Natural Acceptance: It is the process of seeing and observing
attentively and then using your inner conscience to get the answer
from within. It is a way to bring out the goodness in everything
naturally.
It does not change with time/age
It doesn’t depend on place
It does not depend on our beliefs or past conditioning
It is always there within us
It is the same for all of us.

Realization and Understanding:

The process of Self-Exploration results in ‘Realization’ and


‘Understanding’ in us. This realization and understanding leads to the
following answers –

Assuring
Satisfying
Universal with respect to Time, Space and Individual.
