"Kala or time is instrumental for actions, interactions of Jiva and Pudgal.
Contrary to the above the concept of helplessness will tear away the entire fabric of social organization, the relationships between mother and child, husband and wife, friends, neighbours, families, groups and nations. In times of distress and situations like earthquakes, floods, accidents etc. people, groups, societies, nations must and do help each other.
Sansar Bhavna (Feeling of Birth and Rebirth) : This is to contemplate that one has to undergo and suffer pangs of births and rebirths till salvation and therefore should ponder over the sorrows and proceed on path of detachment. This is pessimism about the world which is in reality not bad but good and beautiful. Birth is an essential process and phenomenon in nature and provides the born one the bounties, pleasures and experiences of the world. Birth should be regarded as an opportunity and not an adversity.
Ekta Bhavna (Feeling of Isolation or loneliness) : This is to understand and contemplate that each one is alone and only individual self has to suffer or enjoy his own life and none else will parcipate. This is not in consonance with the very structure of the universe where all its constituents are interdependent, interrelated and are interacting. No one is alone. All are integrated in pleasures and pains, in sorrows and happiness.
Anyatva Bhavna (Feeling of Seperateness) : Technically and spiritually it means separateness of body and soul. It is assertation that what happens to body does not affect soul which is independent of body. Scientifically the very entity of soul is not yet established. Even if soul is a reality, it is manifest through body only. It is body only which is instrumental to all activities, deeds good or bad. Such a concept of separateness will encourage carelessness in maintenance of body, its requirements of air, water, food, medicines, clothes, shelter. This is also contrary to unequivocal precepts in all scriptures that one should care for his body even for the sake of spiritual pursuits.
