Sigma Six Q: Values - The Sixth Quality necessary to bind it all together

Your response to the Sigma Six Q blog, the Facebook and Twitter posts has been awesome.

In the previous posts, we have introduced the Sigma Six Q model and covered the first five Qualities for a Sustainable Way of Life:  Innovation, Air Quality, Water Quality, Education and Healthcare, and Agriculture and Dairying.

The sixth and final Quality for a Sustainable Future is Values; a Quality that binds everything together.

As stated by Revered Prof. Prem Saran Satsangi, “Now what is the sixth excellence, i.e., Quality. That is a very great necessity for our country. You see how many scams are here in the country. How atrocities are committed against women. In order to stop all these, our value system should be refurnished. Our life style has this special emphasis on giving value based education. Thus, we give due place for application and practice of abstract values in our way of life. Only then is it possible to stop the different types of scams and atrocities. In the opinion of some people, we should have more money to spend to live good life. But in our life style of Better Worldliness, we require to awaken our inner spiritual consciousness where there is the kingdom of our Inner True Self, rather than the rule of and authority of mind, intelligence and matter alone.”¹

The underlying threads that ensure Dayalbagh’s success in its efforts is a common base of Values.   As summarized by Revered Prof. Prem Saran Satsangi, “Here again we try to pursue abstract human values that I learnt right since my primary schooling days such as Duty, Beauty, Humility, Courage, Temperance, Wisdom, Loyalty, Justice.”²

These values becoming part of every individual’s DNA is all the more important in a world moving towards automation and digitization, a world moving towards super-intelligent machines.

Dayalbagh’s education system inculcates these values in all students from pre-school onwards. Dayalbagh Education Institute’s Education Policy, as formulated by the Founder Director, Revered Dr. M. B. Lal Sahab aims “to bring about physical, intellectual, emotional and ethical integration of an individual with a view to evolving a complete man who possesses the basic values of humanism, secularism and democracy and who is capable of giving a fuller response to social and emotional challenges.”³

Further as explained by Revered Prof. Prem Saran Satsangi, “Such a man is called Superman. He will not come into existence in a day; he will evolve gradually as the human body evolved gradually according to Darwinian principle. As is the case of the body, mind and spirit will also evolve gradually, and the spirit and the mind will become so pure that a Superman will come into existence. This is a gradual development, a gradual evolution.”⁴

Revered Prof. Satsangi further explains, “Our object here (Dayalbagh) in creating the so-called superman who imbibes all the qualities of physical faculty, mental faculty and spiritual faculty would then be the true achievement of the goal of education, as enshrined, in Sanskrit, in the proverb, that is education which leads to complete emancipation.” ⁵

Dayalbagh aims to get these values of Duty, Beauty, Humility, Courage, Temperance, Wisdom, Loyalty and Justice imprinted into the subconscious from early childhood. The Sant-Su(perman) Evolutionary Scheme that is open to all children aims to create this race of Supermen, humans with ingrained values, values that all free, democratic, secular and humanist nations cherish. We will further explain the Sant-Su scheme and its implementation in future posts.

That completes the six Qualities required for a Sustainable Way of Life. In the next post, we plan to summarize the Sigma Six Q model.
