Guest guest Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 as a human is a rare privilige. Man is the foremost among all living beings in creation. In spite of being endowed with superior faculties and capabilities, if man lacks jnana (wisdom) he is no better than an animal. It is jnana that distinguishes man from animals. In spite of possessing a human body, with its sacred capacities, man pursues wrong paths and indulges in misdeeds, thereby degrading his precious heritage. One who ought to dedicate himself to the pursuit of the Divine and experience bliss, reduces himself a slave to his senses and wastes his life in the pursuit of the ephemeral. It is this preoccupation with the mundane that is at the root of all the insecurity and unhappiness experienced by man.- Baba Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam today16th December 2005 Shopping Find Great Deals on Holiday Gifts at Shopping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
