Inducing Self-Actualization
Self-actualization
means knowing the full potential of a person. Every individual is endowed with
lots of talents. But nobody knows his capabilities. Even though, it is known,
circumstances hinder him to bring out all the skills embedded within him.
Nowadays, the education system in the society is a great barrier for the
self-actualization of a person. Right from the childhood, the child is forced
to study or know what is taught in the school. No one bothers about the
inherent knowledge of someone. There is no time to think over it. A child is
brought up in an environment which suppresses him in expressing his creative
thinking. This , in course of time, prevents the child to know his self and
succumbs to accept the outside world.
Today, it has become essential to induce self-actualization inthe younger
minds. Most of the time, students, without knowing their power, take up the
wrong career path and end up in frustration and disappointment. The fear of
failure in taking daring attempts forbids the students to step ahead. How can
be self-actualization induced in someone is the question to be answered. Who
are all responsible for inducing this? Everyone around a child, his mother,
family members, friends and teachers, are responsible.
A mother can easily identify a child's ability to do something. She should appreciate each and every activity of the child. Even if the child is not able to express his skill properly, he should not be discouraged. He should be encouraged to do it better the next time. The child must be allowed to nurture his innate talent. His mother has to point out the particular skill in a child and let him understand his full strength. He must be motivated to put forth his skill in action. This will enhance the brilliance of the child. The siblings, who grow along with the child, can alsospot out the prowess in
a child. Instead of teasing or criticizing, if the siblings boost up the child
to carry out his special aptitude, he can exhibit his strength without much
difficulty.

Not only the
family members, but also the friends who are very close to the child, may
better induce self-actualization in him. When a child becomes a teenager, he
becomes closer to the friends than to his family members. He spends
most of the time with them. They become the best critics and commentators
of all his activities. This inspiration given by a friend is more powerful than
anything else in inducing self-actualization.
Very often, a
student, as he grows up, tends to be very lazy. Though he realizes that he has
got many skills and talents, he is shy to express it. The present education
system does not allow a person to foster his multifaceted skills. Here comes
the responsibility of the teacher. The teacher must induce the
self-actualization in a person. He should find out and point out the aptitude
in the student. He should motivate him to develop his skills. Even if he fails
in his first attempt, he should be persuaded to put forth his cleverness.
Today's students need their self-actualization to be induced by some outside
power. Once a student is self-actualized, he can do wonders in his life and
shine bright.

फिर बेटी क्यों नहीं चाहिये?
She was in her womb, ready to sip in the first free air of her life and
she, she was scared.
She should have been happier, on the contrary, and should have been
ready to welcome her first child in this world. But no, she was scared. She had
actually fooled her better half and her in-laws all these nine months by making
stories of a baby boy. She did not go for a foetus' sex check-up for two reasons,
first, it is illegal in India, for obvious reasons, and second, she always
wanted this to be a surprise for herself.
In this world, if you are a woman, you have to be equal to God. If you
are not, you cannot survive.
For her also, as soon as the day came, she was almost dead, not because
of the birth pain, but because of the gender of her baby. In the OT, as soon as
her baby cried, the doctor asked her to guess whether it was a girl or a boy,
and her situation of not being able to save the baby if someone hears it’s a
girl, made her say it’s a boy.
Ah! Such pain.
She was overwhelmed when she knew it was a girl, as that’s what she
wanted. The joy and happiness, was followed by a long and lonely path. It was
then that she knew that her struggle has just begun.
She had to be more than a mother and more than a woman. She had to
protect this little angel from being dead and had to keep herself safe all the
way just to ensure her girl’s safety.
Her good news became their bad news and the worse started happening. The
birth of the girl child made everyone devoid of happiness and she became the
main culprit.
India is known to be a country of values and ethics. But the reason, it
is illegal to check the sex of the foetus , says it all.
As a matter of fact, the families who do not want a girl to be born in
their “Khandan”, have the mother of the house as the leader, a woman.
Her partner is her daughter, a woman again. They want a beautiful and “Susheel
Bahu” but they do not want a girl to be born in their families. And the men who support these, for them it's just one question that I want to ask.
मां चाहिये
बहन चाहिये
पत्नी चाहिये
फिर बेटी क्यों नहीं चाहिये?
At times, when I sit and recall this story, I fail to understand the mind-set
of these illiterate people. Had the ancestors of these families followed the
same process, all the women had been long gone, so how on earth, would that
family have a ”Vansh ”? What would these women do of the “so-called
Vansh”, they are not Hanuman or Ashwatthama, after all.
The world has developed a lot in all these years due to Globalization.
But I think, the word Globalization should be changed and renamed to
Partly-Urbanization because most part of the world still need to purify their thought.
