Opis

'Roots of Moral Sensitivity and The Emerging Tree of Life' is a vision for worthy citizenship in our wondrous universe. It seeks to lay out a holistic educational perspective for self-direction and inculcation of knowledge through absorption and assimilation over 'patient time'. It is intended to reach out to those who wish to understand, appreciate, and take pride in the wonder of learning - a natural phenomenon that awaits cultivation - from its very inception to its culmination. Here, the author, Nelunika Gunawardena Rajapakse shares her unique perspective on life and accomplishment that focuses its attention on the actualization of unconditional love - as profound respect - which, she believes, must be brought to bear through every atom of existence. This, being the foundation for personal success and contentment untainted by convention, is also shown to be pivotal towards the attainment of ultimate truth and self- realization. Accordingly, knowledge is neither to be prescribed nor stereotyped, but to be inspired as well as propagated, in light of its binding principle of universal interdependence at work. It is none other than to recognize the nature of existence as 'conditioned being and becoming' perpetuated by human volitional conduct. Therefore, in fulfillment of our human purpose within the dynamic web of knowledge - called interdependence - our mission must be to transcend instinctual tendencies that stem from self-absorption. In sum, an underlying ethical and moral cosmic principle seemingly regulates and sustains the universe. Consciousness and Universe co-exist in mutual creation steered by the quality of mental stock in the human condition. This realization is Learning, or 'Knowledge and Awareness' at its best.
