There should be maximum utilization of the
physical, metaphysical and spiritual potentialities of the unit and collective
bodies of the human society.
Different
people are endowed with physical, intellectual and spiritual potentialities.
They should be encouraged to serve the society with their respective
capacities. In the same way the collective body should also be encouraged to
serve society. For example, The Gorkhas are a fighting race, so they should be
utilized for special work. Similarly, Germans have an inclination for
scientific discoveries and research, so they should be encouraged in this
direction.
Society
must ensure the maximum development of the collective body, collective mind and
collective spirit. One must not forget that collective welfare lies in
individuals and individual welfare lies in collectivity. Without ensuring
individual comforts through the proper provision of food, light, air,
accommodation and medical treatment, the welfare of the collective body can
never be achieved.
The
development of the collective mind is impossible without developing proper
social awareness, encouraging the spirit of social service and awakening
knowledge in every individual. So, inspired with the thought of the welfare of
the collective mind, one has to promote the well-being of the individual mind.
The absence
of spiritual morality and spirituality in individuals will break the backbone
of the collectivity. So for the sake of collective welfare one will have to
awaken spirituality in individuals. The potential for infinite physical, mental
and spiritual development is inherent in every human being.
PROUT we
will inspire people through selfless service…There are many good people in this
world who want to do good work. You should convince them, work with them and
organize them to do maximum service for the suffering humanity.

This
principle talks about developing and utilizing of human capacities and those of
society without suppression or discrimination due to sex, race. At present
Western society there is some scope for everyone to develop their
potentialities, but more and more people seem to be clearly lacking behind
either because lack of spirituality, inspiration, opportunities or money. On
physical level: many people don’t take proper care of their health; they
overeat or destroy it with alcohol. Exploitation is common, materialism and
inequality prevents collective welfare and lack of morality worsens the
situation.
Metaphysical
means intellectual discoveries and mental skills of people, which utilization
should be encouraged. People with best mental ability are often controlled with
money minded - intellectuals being slaves for the rich. Intellectuality should
be guided with spirituality otherwise it is easily misutilized. Psychic and
creative capacities should be encouraged also etc. (In the second principle
word: supramundane means subtle
potentialities of universe and in the third principle metaphysical means subtle potentialities of individual, group, race
or society).
Spiritual people
– monks, saints, sannyasis - are often belittled, while rich and educated
people are highly regarded in the society. Naturally there is lack of
understanding of spiritual potentiality, that´s why it is neglected. People has
got enough from religions and they have nothing to fulfil their spiritual
needs, but human being is not only physical, psychic and economical being but
also spiritual. That vacuum in each and every person should be filled with
spirituality.
What ever
people posses they get it according second principle from universe, and utilization
of those human possessions and capabilities is explained in third principle.
