Guest guest Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 48. Human Birth Janthunam Narajanma Durlabham - there is no greater blessing than human birth. To call oneself a human, first and foremost, one must show humanness in action. Having been born and brought up in society and having earned one's wealth from it, one should show gratitude to it by working for its welfare. The world is facing problems because man does not show his gratitude to society. Society's well-being is your well-being too. Give up selfishness and work for the welfare of the society. The world will enjoy peace and security only when everyone serves society and has devotion towards God. The human being is referred to as 'Nara'. 'Ra' means that which is perishable. 'Na' means 'not'. 'Nara' refers therefore to that which is imperishable in man, the Atma (Spirit). Consequently, sorrow should be alien to him. He should shed no tear. Deem yourself as Divine. Live with this firm conviction. The Divinity in every being should be revered. You have to recognize unity in diversity. Do not give room to any bad thoughts. The body is a temple of the Divine and no evil thoughts should be harboured within it. Do not shape your conduct with an eye on the opinion of others. Instead, follow bravely, gladly and steadily the sweet and pleasant promptings of your own Sathwic-manas (pure mind), your own awakened consciousness, and your own inner self. Associate yourself only with those who are truthful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
