Nihshreyasa (निःश्रेयसम्) (view source)

Thus, this combination of [[pravrtti (प्रवृत्ति)]], and [[nivrtti (निवृत्ति)]], of [[अभ्युदय|abhyudaya (अभ्युदय)]] and [[nihsreyasa (नि:श्रेयस)]] contains a philosophy for total human development. Adi Sankara did not say that it is only for Hindus, or only for the people of India but for ''praninam'' - 'for all human beings'. That is its universality. By adding [[nihsreyasa (नि:श्रेयस)]] to [[अभ्युदय|abhyudaya (अभ्युदय)]] , the Gita prevents human being from becoming reduced to mere machines.

Abhyudaya and nihsreyasa together constitute the means for the maintenance of this world on an even keel. Stress one and neglect the other, it will tilt to one side or the other, like a boat. India in recent centuries tilted to nihsreyasa side, and neglected abhyudaya side. While the modern West tilted to [[अभ्युदय|abhyudaya]] side - the modern Western civilization is based entirely on pravrtti till now.
