Pashu (animal) means that which has the vision and accepts what the external vision conveys. ‘Pashupathi’ means Lord of all, the one who has the inward vision. The one who has not mastered the senses is Pashu. An animal has several innate undesirable qualities, however hard it may try

to eliminate them, they cannot be transformed. For example, we can bring up a tiger cub with affectionate care and train it to be gentle and obedient. But when it is hungry, will it relish Poori (an Indian dish made of wheat flour) and potato curry? No, it will only relish raw

meat! Hence, the scriptures quote: "Man indeed is the most fortunate and sacred amongst all beings, for one's inborn qualities can be sublimated". Realizing this truth, each one must elevate himself/herself through training and self-effort.
