Scope for Environmental Adjustment is a discourse given by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti in 1969. This discourse is the fourth chapter of Ananda Vacanamrtam Part 33.[1]
Synopsis
People were carefree on elephants’ backs, but they are sufficiently careful when they are driving a motor car or scooter. When going to the moon or Mars, people should be sufficiently cautious. The body and mind should be properly adjusted. This is called environmental adjustment. Ásana, práńáyáma [yogic postures and breathing], etc., help us in this adjustment.
Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that the Cosmic Mind is a composite of Cosmic Mahattattva (the feeling of I exist), Ahaḿtattva (I do) and citta (done I). Anandamurti then explains that Mechanism describes the origin of life interactions of molecules constituting the body. If we agree to such an approach we will have to admit that life comes from that which is lifeless. as it's necessary to adapt to new changes in the environment. Ásana and práńáyáma help us in such an adjustment. Anandamurti goes on saying that economic pressure as in the dowry system is not accepted in Ananda Marga. Our social rights have been defined in Ananda Marga Caryacarya Parts 1-3 and may be readjusted according to change in the future.[1]
