Well-integrated personality is the
sum total of harmonious expression of the folowing five dimensions:
- 1) Healthy body
- 2) Healthy mind
- 3) Healthy thoughts
- 4) Will power
- 5) Work efficiency
Healthy body relates to our senses. Proper nourishment and growth of
physical faculties is essential by way of balanced diet, recreation, music,
and care and concern from near and dear ones.
Healthy mind is somewhat subtler than the first. It relates to metabolism
and the gross manifestations of energy (Prana), for insatnce the act of
breathing. The control of Prana is achieved by control of anger, anxiety,
and restlessness.
Healthy thoughts concerns with discriminative power and knowledge, what we
call "buddhi". In addition to sincere and formal studies, reading
other books like biographies of great and noble persons and invigorating
literature helps us develop this faculty.
Will power is related to stress and psychology. Here selflessness, control,
concentration, and calmness of mind plays essential role.
Work efficiency is the function of state of being. It calls for remaining
calm and unaffected, nay to remain happy, in all the frivolities of world,
in neck break competition and struggle, in calamities and disasters, in
suffering and loss, in failure and success.
