Karta hum in Pakistan and Jas te saham of Macedonian
This words are more than what you see, open your soul to be free
And if we only give all to Thee, Believe me it’s a wonderful spree
Sagapo in Greece sparks, jeg elsker in Denmark
Like Je taime in French , To your heart’s deep trench
Inhobbok whispers in malta, or Nkwagala nyo of Uganda
Wo ai ni of Manadarin China,or Ngo oy lei in Canto Shina
This words may sound stranged
Everywhere, around the world ,eto pala sa Philippines na
Alam mo Ba Mahal na mahal kanya .

V. Philosopher
Dr. Narag books made him to be one of the great philosopher in our modern times and are some of his contribution.
<BR>
1. The Ultimate definition of Health.
<BR>
As a Medical Doctor he defines Health.
<BR>
“Health is the dynamic state of having a balance or wellbeing in the biophysical, psychological, emotional , social, sexual, and spiritual aspect of man and the ability to maintain it to the fullest extent”.
2. The Ultimate definition of Man.
Dr. Narag concisely defined man in holistic way he said
Man as a functionally dynamic biophysical, psycho-emotional, intellectual, social, sexual and spiritual (biophysicopsychoemotiointellectosociosexospirito) being in which the totality of each aspect is synergistic or desynergistic (antithy) to each other.
<BR>
Understanding the meaning of man and its aspects leads to better provision of care to attain human functional wellbeing. Theaspects of Man includes the following
1. Biophysical 4. Intellectual 7. Spiritual
2. Psychological 5. Social
3. Emotion 6. Sexual
<BR>
Synergy simply means working together and it occurs when one aspect of a person interact in ways that enhance or magnify one or more. It further describes a situation where different parts cooperate advantageously for a final outcome. In human, synergy is best exhibited in interactions.
<BR>
Interpersonal Synergy
<BR>
Say person A alone can walk for 2 kilometers, person B can walk 3 kilometers if they walk together they can walk not only 5 kilometers but greater than 5 it can be 7 kilometers .In synergy 1 + 1= >2 or 1 + 1= 2.5 or 1+1 = 7 it can be 1+1 = 9
Intrapersonal Synergy
Synergy is also displayed intrapersonally. That is, when two or more aspects of an individual, say intellectual and physical aspects, cause him to be better than one who let one aspect of life dominate the whole of him.
A very popular history maker who is unbeatable in the field of music globally is Ludwig Van Beethoven. He was a German composer and pianist. At 26, he started to develop tinnitus which caused complete deafness. Prior to this defect, he has been known in his musical performances. Beethoven later expressed his symptoms and the difficulties of being deaf to his friends since it caused a drastic change in both his professional and social life.
Beethoven, on the advice of his doctor, lived in the small Austrian town just outside Vienna in an attempt to come to terms with his condition. But then he resolved to continue living for and through his art. Beethoven did not let this unpleasant condition bring him down. Instead of allowing it to cause a de-synergistic effect on his life, he chose to let his passion, strength and influence in music produce a synergistic effect on his life.
<BR>
Nash is also the subject of the Hollywood movie A Beautiful Mind, which was nominated for eight Academy Awards (winning four). The film, based very loosely on the biography of the same name, focuses on Nash's mathematical genius and his struggle with paranoid schizophrenia. Though he was psychologically disturbed, his intellectual strength brought him to height in history.
<BR>
De-synergy
On the other hand, de-synergy has a detrimental effect on an individual. Ereblog’s Journal terms de-synergy as “antithy.” It defined as “A detrimental mixing of two or more elements that produces a result less than each individual’s capacity.” Thus, it simple negates the principle of synergy that the whole is greater than the some of its parts.
Or, “The whole is less than the sum of the parts.”
Or, “ 1 +1 = < 2” it can be 1 + 1= 1.5 or 1 + 1= 0.5
Example there are those persons who are physically healthy but suffers from psychoemotional problem that causes them to be depress having a personality disorder. The example above explains how the psychoemotional aspect of man can cause desynergy or antithy to his personality.
<BR>
3. The Philosophy of Love
According to Dr. Narag in his book Way of Love “The Science and Secrets of Winning the Love of your life
<BR>
“Love is the expression of concern, care, or deep affection wherein wisdom is ruling over emotion and passion, while infatuation is the expression of passion wherein emotion and sexual intention is over wisdom and reason”
<BR>
<BR>
VI. Musician
Dr. Narag wrote the book Guitar Genius and My Composed Songs wherein he express his emotions in singing praises, Some of which will be seen in U tube .<ref>Dr. Richard Vincent Narag, 2009, “Guitar Genius and Music Theory” Happy Hands Publishing House.
