Psychological Thought In Eastern System- Bhagavad Gita and Hindu Philosophy | Short and Easy | UGC (YouTube Video Transcript)

(00:00:00) Your YouTube transcript will appear here (00:00:01) hello everyone welcome back to my (00:00:03) channel psychology Network today's topic (00:00:05) which would we would be studying is just (00:00:07) the part one it is the psychological (00:00:11) thought in some major Eastern systems (00:00:13) now you can find this in your uh unit (00:00:18) one of your ugc net psychology syllabus (00:00:21) booklet this is the first syllabus uh (00:00:24) sorry first topic under emergence of (00:00:26) psychology now they have divided the (00:00:29) Eastern system into do four parts which (00:00:31) is your bhagavat Gita Buddhism Sufism (00:00:34) and your integral yoga now this is the (00:00:37) part one we would be covering bhagwat (00:00:39) Gita but with bhagwat Gita we would also (00:00:41) be (00:00:41) covering (00:00:43) Hinduism philosophy some parts of it (00:00:47) because I've seen questions from there (00:00:49) as well usually in the books and in a (00:00:52) lot of places where I've seen these (00:00:54) topics to be (00:00:56) covered the problem is they give it in a (00:00:59) paragraph they interconnect it with each (00:01:03) other a lot of times there is (00:01:04) overlapping so people get confused (00:01:06) between the terms people get confus what (00:01:08) is what and they always leave this (00:01:13) chapter they leave this chapter (00:01:15) throughout their UG and PG and when the (00:01:17) net comes it becomes very difficult for (00:01:19) them so what I have done I have come (00:01:22) with a simple solution I have uh divided (00:01:24) the slides into certain topics and each (00:01:27) topic is on its own we have not tried to (00:01:30) overlap it laap it you will understand (00:01:32) there are some (00:01:33) overlappings uh but as itself you would (00:01:37) understand these to be individual topics (00:01:39) on its own and it would be easier for (00:01:42) you to understand because it's crisp (00:01:44) plus it has all the (00:01:45) knowledge which you need now the first (00:01:48) slide here which we would be talking (00:01:50) about is important texts so these are (00:01:53) the (00:01:54) texts these are the (00:01:57) authors you have to remember the authors (00:02:00) for each text for charak samita it's (00:02:03) your Maharishi charak for shush samita (00:02:06) it's your (00:02:07) shush for these two it's easy because (00:02:09) the author's name it's itself in the (00:02:12) text then comes your yoga Sutra which is (00:02:15) written by patanjali then comes your AR (00:02:17) shastra which is written by KIA (00:02:20) Kamasutra written by vatana ramayana (00:02:23) written by biki Mahabharata by Vasa and (00:02:26) bhagat Gita also by Vasa so if the (00:02:29) question comes suppose McQ name two (00:02:32) books which is written by Vasa and they (00:02:34) are confusing you like they saying (00:02:35) Mahabharat and ramayana Mahabharat and (00:02:37) arastra yoga Sutra and bhagavat Gita and (00:02:42) then the fourth option being Mahabharat (00:02:43) and bhagat Gita so it would be the (00:02:45) fourth option remember these two written (00:02:48) by Vasa this this text on its own uh as (00:02:53) a slide then comes the next topic which (00:02:56) we would be studying it is the Hindu (00:02:58) belief system the first is the Atma (00:03:01) which is the Eternal self the spiritual (00:03:03) essence of a person in a lot of books (00:03:06) you would the books which are written I (00:03:08) feel it's from a very whitewashed point (00:03:10) of view but the Atma they have said it (00:03:14) as Soul so when the exam comes what is (00:03:16) the soul and they they demand an answer (00:03:19) from you of course it would be Atma but (00:03:21) Atma essentially is not the soul you (00:03:24) know very simplified way we are saying (00:03:26) Atma means the soul then is your karma (00:03:29) karma is the day-to-day action which you (00:03:31) take and it determines how a person (00:03:34) would be in the next life if my karma is (00:03:36) good in the next life I would be (00:03:37) something good in the next life now what (00:03:41) is your Dharma Dharma is the duty an (00:03:45) individual is called to live their life (00:03:47) by there are some virtues and values (00:03:50) which they have to follow and Dharma is (00:03:52) a lifelong Duty it's like kind of a goal (00:03:54) of a person and uh they must do good (00:03:59) deeds uh uh follow value and virtues and (00:04:02) these Good Deeds would strengthen the (00:04:05) karma and it would help the person to (00:04:08) reach its Dharma the fourth is the Moka (00:04:12) Moosa means this is the this Society the (00:04:16) sansar we say and when a person is born (00:04:20) the person is born in a society in the (00:04:22) sansar and when he dies he is relieved (00:04:25) of the society he gets freedom from this (00:04:28) eternal life cycle of death sorry life (00:04:31) cycle he after death he gets that (00:04:34) Eternal Freedom that is the Moa he's (00:04:38) liberated from this uh material world (00:04:42) that is your (00:04:45) MOA then we come to the tetria upanishad (00:04:49) it has five shells or punch kosas punch (00:04:53) means five koshas means shells or (00:04:57) sheets what are the five shells person (00:05:00) is made up of anamaya anamaya comprises (00:05:04) the physical body pranamaya is the SLE (00:05:08) body manomaya is the perceptual body (00:05:12) vigyan Maya is the conscious body Anand (00:05:15) Maya is the transcendental being of a (00:05:18) person the highest you must have seen (00:05:21) pictures like (00:05:23) this sorry I'm not very good artist and (00:05:26) then they make this and then again (00:05:30) continue making a sheet so the LA the (00:05:32) innermost is the trans anandaya the (00:05:35) transcendental body so these are the (00:05:38) sheets the shells of a (00:05:42) person then comes your Guna we say the (00:05:46) Guna person's (00:05:48) characteristic these Tria has been used (00:05:51) to describe the personality of a person (00:05:55) and the dominance of one Guna or the (00:05:57) other Guna shapes how how the person is (00:06:00) going to (00:06:02) behave so the first Guna which we would (00:06:05) be talking about is satava satwa is (00:06:08) Purity and knowledge they are very calm (00:06:11) people the very Serene calm and they (00:06:14) Seekers of knowledge and very pure as we (00:06:18) say then that is rajas and rajas is (00:06:21) activity and desire they want something (00:06:23) more they want something more so that (00:06:26) and they are always move there is (00:06:28) movement in them (00:06:30) never calm so this is your rajas tamas (00:06:34) they say inertia laziness and darkness (00:06:36) of a person uh (00:06:40) personality tamas is not something which (00:06:42) is very much desired it is mostly not (00:06:46) not working (00:06:48) being lazy so this is your tamas so the (00:06:52) three triguna rajas and (00:06:55) thas next we come you see how I've made (00:06:58) those slides very common Compact and in (00:07:00) itself and it's not refering to the (00:07:03) other slide it's on its own and not too (00:07:06) much paragraph So it so you can (00:07:09) understand what I'm talking about now (00:07:11) comes your patanjali's yoga (00:07:15) Sutra patanjali's yoga Sutra this text (00:07:19) uh uses some what do I say (00:07:23) techniques to understand the problems of (00:07:27) mankind like we talk about observation (00:07:30) we talk about interview so these are few (00:07:33) techniques like that to understand the (00:07:36) problems of mankind um so first which we (00:07:40) would be talking about is praka that is (00:07:44) the direct empirical observation you're (00:07:46) observing and writing down whatever you (00:07:48) have observed from a person's View the (00:07:52) second is Anum that is inference you are (00:07:54) getting what are you inferring from that (00:07:58) observation (00:08:02) okay then comes the upamana which is the (00:08:05) comparison between maybe there is this (00:08:07) observation one and there is observation (00:08:10) two so if if I have to compare that is (00:08:13) upamana then comes your sabda the (00:08:16) testimony which you give so these are (00:08:18) the four ways which are given in the (00:08:21) patanjali's yoga (00:08:23) Sutra then comes your states of (00:08:28) consciousness this would be easy for you (00:08:31) to understand if you are from uh if you (00:08:34) know Hindi a bit so this would be easy (00:08:37) for you to understand the first one is (00:08:40) jagata aasta see (00:08:44) aasta aasta aasta is the (00:08:48) state or (00:08:51) being what is the aasta of the person (00:08:54) what is the state of a person so jagat (00:08:58) aasta jagna (00:09:00) jagrat that is the wakeful state right (00:09:04) jagna we know the word jagna from jagat (00:09:08) is not from the word Jag jagna but I'm (00:09:10) just saying if you have to compare jagat (00:09:13) aasta would be the wakeful state it is (00:09:15) the state of normal Consciousness like (00:09:17) you are listening to this video right (00:09:20) now that is your jagrat aasta it's the (00:09:22) normal consciousness of a (00:09:24) person swapa it is the dream state we (00:09:28) swapna means sapna sa swap aast it is (00:09:32) the dream state it is a subconscious (00:09:34) faculty of the mind it is the (00:09:37) impressions of the Consciousness are on (00:09:40) the subconsciousness of a (00:09:44) person then again you see aasta (00:09:49) prasta prasta is the transcendental (00:09:53) State of (00:09:55) Consciousness it's a consciousness of (00:09:57) the Divinity pure (00:10:01) pragna then is your tya aasta tya aasta (00:10:06) again is the highest state of (00:10:09) consciousness these are your four states (00:10:12) of (00:10:15) Consciousness if you want you can take (00:10:17) the screenshot you can pause the video (00:10:19) and take the (00:10:21) screenshot then we come to the sadhana (00:10:24) sadhana is any activity which you engage (00:10:27) in to enhance your we well being be it (00:10:31) physical or your mental (00:10:34) well-being so the first is these are the (00:10:38) ways for (00:10:40) sadhana the first they saying Shan Shan (00:10:44) means to listen Shan is the stage (00:10:48) where there you are hearing from the (00:10:51) teacher the guru you hear from the guru (00:10:54) and You observe and whatever the guru is (00:10:57) saying usually is considered the truth (00:10:59) the and the guru wouldn't wouldn't see (00:11:02) anything other than the truth so you're (00:11:04) hearing the truth that is your Shan (00:11:07) second is Manana that is reflecting on (00:11:10) what you have observed and heard you you (00:11:13) reflect the teachings of the guru that (00:11:16) is observing and understanding whatever (00:11:20) you have heard you're reflecting on (00:11:22) that then comes your (00:11:26) nidias nidias is the trans cognitive (00:11:30) realization what you have understood (00:11:33) what you have seen you completely (00:11:35) assimilate that all the truths you have (00:11:38) seen of the world all the truths which (00:11:40) you know you have assimilated that and (00:11:43) you are in the trans cognitive (00:11:47) realization that is your (00:11:53) nasana then comes what is the key (00:11:56) challenge to an individual individual it (00:11:58) is called (00:12:00) what is the key in problem to an (00:12:03) individual incorrect knowledge a viya (00:12:07) distorted perceptions even in cbtv we (00:12:11) talk about distorted perceptions from (00:12:14) the distorted perceptions of the world (00:12:17) of the self only the person might have (00:12:20) depressive thoughts so here what is (00:12:22) saying the key challenge which arises (00:12:25) for an individual the jaiva is the (00:12:27) incorrect knowledge the incorrect (00:12:30) knowledge the avidya can be dealt by (00:12:34) adopting the paths of (00:12:36) knowledge if you get the right knowledge (00:12:39) that is your Gan then you can remove the (00:12:43) incorrect knowledge the second is (00:12:45) devotion the bti which you show that is (00:12:49) your devotion and the work the karma (00:12:51) which you do (00:12:53) that by the work of karma you can remove (00:12:56) those distorted perceptions of yourself (00:12:59) the empirical knowledge is called (00:13:01) paravida and the transcendental (00:13:03) knowledge is called aarav (00:13:05) Vidya this is all which you had in the (00:13:08) bhagat and the Hindu philosophy are very (00:13:13) short very crisp but these would help (00:13:16) you to revise very quickly uh before (00:13:19) your exam and this would help you to (00:13:22) understand and divide what really they (00:13:24) are talking about because again as I (00:13:26) said they try they uh usually confuse (00:13:30) the child so much wherever even if it is (00:13:33) a it is a book or some kind of article (00:13:37) it confuses a child so I hope this PP (00:13:41) was very clear in its being and it could (00:13:44) help you before your exams and watching (00:13:47) this just before your exam is a quick (00:13:49) revision uh for your ugc net Psychology (00:13:53) exam thank you so much for listening and (00:13:55) keep subscribing and liking the video so (00:13:57) I can keep on making free content for (00:14:01)
