In the entire universe, the human life is the most precious and sacred. It is the rarest and the noblest . The absolute humanness is pure, unsullied and beyond any attributes. Only a human being can think and act as no other living being can.

As a society, we have progressed a lot in different areas relating to science, technology and commerce. Today people have more resources, power and wealth at their disposal than ever before but the use or misuse of the available resources depends upon the attitude/thinking of the user. The advancement in any area or resources available can be harmful, if misapplied.

Most of the people today are engrossed in their own world of pleasure so much that morality and ethics have disappeared from their lives. Today most of the youth have fallen victims to negative mental tendencies/thoughts like anger, passion, pride, greed, envy, ego, impatience, infatuation. They want to go fast at a bullet speed leaving others behind; they have there ulterior motives; they want to make quick money; they don’t hesitate to adopt unethical methods. So many a time they take to frauds and crimes. The unethical ways have multiplied whereas values and principles have decayed. The sacred human life is polluted by negative thoughts and evil desires, which have become a part and parcel of their attitude, as witnessed in their conduct. The downfall of human values in the society is the result of the non-existence of the human values in the subconscious of today’s generation

Man has made commendable advancement in scientific, economic and educational fields but he has failed to become a better man. Man has become selfish, greedy and aggressive despite so much development. People feel the presence of these negative mental tendencies in their day-to-day life but they do not know when and how they became victim of these negative tendencies.

This is a matter of great concern and it needs to be attended to immediately to find an appropriate solution. If it is allowed to go on like this, the time is not far when values like sincerity, authenticity, ethics, integrity, responsibility, morality etc will vanish from the society. But If positive thoughts and human values such as compassion, love, tolerance, fortitude, equality, serenity, contentment, truthfulness, modesty, generosity, self-control, forgiveness, curiosity, selfless-service and self-sacrifice are inculcated in the subconscious of a person during his/her childhood, adherence to human value would become a part of his nature and eventually man would become more valuable and useful not only for himself and his family but also for the society.

If human values are inculcated in the subconscious (Avachetan) of a person during his formative years, adherence to these values becomes his permanent habit and his nature. The actions of a person, to an extent, are governed by the feelings/emotions surging in his/her subconscious. These values ‘imbibed in his subconscious’ guide his thoughts and actions throughout his life.

Need of the time

Therefore inculcating human values in the subconscious of a child is a prime necessity, irrespective of his religion, faith, caste, creed and culture. We all reap what we sow. If human values are planted/sowed in the children of today, they will grow up into upright person who will form a value based society. They will, also, be effective instruments of reforming the society at macro level. Thus sowing/planting human values in a person during his childhood is the need of the time so that the next generation is not devoid of human values.
