one has to co-ordinate four types of activities viz. ( a ) an endeavour to identify one’s own undesirable traits ( b ) a strong consistent effort to resist the inherent evil instincts , till these are totally eradicated .

Writing is not possible without co-ordination of paper, pen, ink and fingers. Extending this concept to the human system, we find that human body is composed of five basic elements( elementary extra—sensory constituents of body )the frame work of the body is imparted animatation by the vital force ( chetan ) which also has five components ( establish by spiritual research ) . individually, neither of the five elements nor components of vital force will be able to sustain human existence. As an analogy take a pantry. The pantry needs four basic resources—the fuel, water, food material and utensils cum cooking equipment. These are bare essential items for preparing a meal. For self-- evolution too , one has to co-ordinate four types of activities viz. ( a ) an endeavour to identify one’s own undesirable traits ( b ) a strong consistent effort to resist  the inherent evil instincts , till these are totally eradicated . ( c ) a perserverant endeavour to appreciate and imbibe those virtues which have so far remained alien to the character and ( d ) to enlighten the largsest possible—number of people  with the wisdom thus required. These  four activities are required to be coordinated . The wise have termed them as Atm-chintan, Atm- sudhar, Atm- Nirman and Atm –Vikas.
