Abstract

Carl Rogers, an eminent psychologist has said that every person has an innate tendency to actualize, to move forward, to develop and grow, which is much stronger than any urge to regress brought on by the pains that accompany growth. According to him, it is this tendency that propels the child to take its initial steps and persist in learning to walk in spite of the pain caused by his falling over again and again while moving over from crawling stage to walking stage. In describing all life, Rogers has used such phrases as the “tenacity of life” and the “forward thrust of life”, indicating his belief in the existence of virtually irresistible forces that cause an organism not only to survive, sometimes under extremely hostile conditions, but also to adapt and develop and grow. But growth and development in life means different things to different people. This has been, and still is, the psychological truth of this whole world, which demarcates the globe into east and west in the sentimental delineation of sensibilities. Whereas, creation of wealth in life has been the index for measuring growth and development for the west, east has always perceived spiritual awakening of the soul and content of heart as the scale for analyzing real growth and development in life.
