Empirical model on self growth : based on Bhagavat Gita
Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of the paper is to interpret scientifically the ancient Bhagavat Gita (BG) text book‟s, verses on Yoga of Self Growth in terms of Raga (Likes) and Dvesha (Dislikes) vis-à-vis Modern Psychology‟s concept of Pair of Opposites: Likes-Dislikes. Using selected 6 verses from BG as interpreted by Swami Dayananda Saraswati, we proposed an empirical model on SGY by using Newton‟s 3rd law. At mental level, Choice (Ψ) made has an equal and opposite reaction in the form of Consequence (φ). In Gita, it is inclusion of “less than (<) or greater than (>) principle” along with equality (=) i.e. choice made may be less than or greater than or equal to consequence. In short, it is Ψ ≤ n ≥ - φ. This modified law is reflected in different verses of BG. Psychological tools and methodologies could be applied in forming BG items. To show the validity of the SGY model, 10 prominent Universal values are derived from this model. Further, the model suggests methods of developing a psychology questionnaire of constructs in different fields of psychology.
