Jai Srimannarayana!
One who belongs to manu is manava. Discriminating capacity is lacking with us. Animals which eat meat lick water, animals which don’t eat meat sip or chew water. Man sips water but eats meat. Few things unique to human beings compared to animals are: dressing, eating cooked food, decorating the dirt (hair, nails etc. which is waste of body and we feel proud of them).
A peacock never decorates but its feathers are so beautiful, so attractive. In spite of our dressing so much we are nowhere close to matching the beauty of a peacock or a tiger for example.
Is this the purpose God has given us life as human beings? Only the man spoils the nature, air, water, cut trees.
We need to know what makes us to be called human beings. If we know, we reap the benefits of human life. The one which we contracted to maximum extent, is suppose to expand and fill the entire universe. Swartha (Swa – Self, Artha – Benefit) is the need of the day. We didn’t really understand what ‘I’ means. I goes through the layers, piece of cloth, skin, blood, flesh, organ, muscles, buddhi. Even animals, trees have the same structure. There is a controller of this universe, which I call ‘Narayana’. The word ‘I’ relates to God. With his power only, we are able to say ‘I’.
‘I’ and ‘You’ goes and relates to the inner power. You call any name, point at any object, it ultimately reaches the one who supports this universe. The power that controls is only ONE. Some objects perish (Kshara), some won't (Akshara or Atma). The one who controls is the supreme lord. That one is very knowledgeable, powerful. He has compassion and divine qualities. He is the unseen power (Deva). Vedas say, 'There is one power called Deva, who is controlling all Kshara and Akshara or Atma'.
In this body, one part cannot hurt other part at micro level. At macro level, all these objects or entities are controlled by one who single power. In universal body you are also a part.
Whenever something happens and if we don't respond then it's equivalent to a paralyzed body part. When you do something it should belong
to the entire universe. Then that will become real Swartha. Go and expand, but don't cross the rules. The body that is given to you is purely personal. Take care of it. Eat well, Sleep well. You are from a family and there is a lineage. You should respect your lienage.
1. Take care of your body
2. Take care of rules of family
3. Follow the rules of society as you are part of it
4. Take care of other species in nature
5. Expand the 'Swa' to God
Expand the 'Swa' to reach all 5 levels above and attach 'Artha' to it.
'Swartha' - THE ACT THAT BENEFITS THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE AND GOD.
Able to understand and respond should become man's nature. If we can understand 5 levels and respond, we can lead a fruitful life. Be obsessed with real 'Swartha' then you become real Manava. Such a personality you need to grow. Then you can't hurt anybody. If something goes wrong, rectify it. Encourage good things, rectify mistakes, share the pain and joy of others. Then they become real human beings.
Let God give us that realization! Let God bless us all!
Jai Srimannarayana!
