How can I know, who am I, why am I? Man since its first birth has been trying to find out the meanings of its being. In history its quest has always been muddling with the questions; who is he/she?; How he/she came into being?; what is the purpose of his/her creation?; what will be his/her end?. For all his questions he uses the same sources of knowledge which are used almost in all cases. There are two basic sources of learning induction and deduction. In induction he is using different tools like science, his power of senses, his observation to find the answers to all the questions; he keeps on exploring himself and his environment physically and Meta physically to find his answers. Science leads him to its theories like evolution and big bang to satisfy him where as when he takes help from deduction history and religion (existing sources of information and knowledge) guide him in this regard, they also provide him some meaning of his life. In deduction we take the information and knowledge from existing sources like books and other databases, in induction one learns and make his perceptions on the behalf of his experiences and observations of what is really going on all around.
Man of deduction whenever get indulged in some dialogue he uses the sayings of other people and references of existing information to prove his point, A man of induction believe his mind ,he says what he experience how he sees the world and how he thinks about the world.
Self Analysis/ Step One Meet Yourself
Man meets thousands of people; he sees millions of scenes; he observes trillions of things , in all this he doesn’t get chance to meet himself he often doesn’t get even some moments to spend with himself for only his own sake. The people he meets daily or off and on, he knows their habits characteristics and also makes judgment about their nature. But he remains completely unaware about himself.
As we know almost each and everything in our room, we know where the table is; where the books are kept; where the curtains are; where the door to exit exist and what is the purpose of all these things, we know what is the use of bed placed in our room how to use the coach. We know each and every thing even the color of the bulbs in our room. In the very same way we should also know about ourselves, as we see outside, in the very same way we need to see inside, in the inner room, our heart, our soul and our self. It sounds strange and seems impractical or abstract concept difficult to implement, no problem, just think what happens when you visit a place for the first time and for a very short period of time, do you remember every detail of that place, definitely no. But if you visit it frequently and increase your stay over there, then definitely your acquaintance with the environment will increase you will start knowing more and more things about that place, the very same way, in the beginning it seems very odd to see in, inside yourself. But keep trying, with the passage of time you will explore yourself and you will, then, come to know about a very different world never reviled before. The method is very simple, spend some time daily or weekly or monthly as it suits you in the beginning but must spend some time alone just with yourself and think, think what do you like in others what makes you angry about others, try to recall some such instances like someone had misbehaved with you any time, someone had done a favor to you in the time of need, then try to find, all those things you like in other, do they exist in you? and also check if the things you abhor are there in you. Try to do those things for others which you like for yourself and try to abstain from those deeds which you don’t like. Try to recall the activities you have been doing the whole day and try to evaluate whether they were done the way as they should be or not.Deduction will also help to find out our meaning, but we have started with induction by observing and using our senses to find and meet ourselves as we have a more strong belief in what we personally see, listen or feel.
