Man's History
Man is the most superior creation of the cosmic order। Once he knows how he can improve his fortune, he will certainly take measures to improve it। He will become the architect of his destiny and not a tool of the destiny.
Human is better placed than the other species. He is not born just to enjoy pleasures. All sentiment being eaten, drinks, sleep, and possess sexual impulses. But man’s desire can never be satisfied, by enjoying pleasure. He has been gifted with various senses and he should use them properly.
The millions of creature from amoebas to mighty animals do not acquire knowledge, but the human beings are a special category and they desire to equip themselves with knowledge and regulate their day-to-day activities.
In nature by mere eating of grass the elephant grows to a huge size. And whereas lion deprived of its meat will not consume grass. The Beast need not labor much to obtain their needs but the civilized man has to toil to get his food and shelter.
The animals confronted with danger protect themselves in many ways. But man has no poisonous fangs to bite. Their hands and legs are used for constructive purposes. The organs provided for man should be utilized for creative purposes. The organs provided for man should be utilized for creating conditions for better living. No doubt that all the beings in the world have been created by a super power –God.
It is also true that the finest machines made by man cannot be compared with the marvels of the human body and the intricate way in which all parts work together to keep in health. Here is a living organism that not only reproduces its own kind, but also repairs itself and has the ability to think and plan for the future, so that race is preserved and its ideals are perpetuated.
Our life functions in an organic connectivity. We are one life and this life itself is godliness. While we are creating conflict constantly, living in man-made divisions of religions, races and nations, a man of meditation comes to realize that there exit no divisions and fractions in life. All divisions exist only in the over-developed heads and under-developed heads of people. We are conscious of the leaves, branches and stream of the tree, but we cannot see the roots of the tree, the source of one life. This is the real misery of men on earth.
As in every part of the human body, there is a wonderful harmony and inner strength that enable it to overcome almost serious handicap. Trouble comes when that harmony is broken. Perhaps, through poor habits in living. The germs of decease may then enter and eventually destroy the body unless they are checked by normal defense mechanisms of the body.
We have to go to the Man’s History, the history of his struggle to conquer the nature and harness it in the service of mankind. The more we read the man’s history and scriptures more we get convinced that a vast reservoir of powerful facilities are dormant within us and once these are activated one could create a life Maharishi Valmiki (महर्षि वाल्मीकि ) could even create “KUSH” कुश out of a straw.
In a day of yore, also two pieces of wood rubbed against each other to produce flames. The sparks were invisible till they were brought out. (Likewise, milk contains ghee घी but it can not be seen till a special process is adopted. )
With the help of his knowledge and intelligence the primitive man made stone weapons to fight against enemies, formidable creatures, etc. Then he miraculously discovered the way to produce fire and used it for his protection in the night times and for cooking food. Afterwards he made wheel to move about using domestic animals and soon invented agriculture, cattle rearing and farming. His knowledge improved by doing inventive, creative works and he became a civilized being.
However, the limitations of his senses and the incomprehensibility of his mind to know about the secrets of life, Nature, Universe, God gave him the knowledge that he is incomplete and imperfect and that a thing called Spirit higher than the mind is there and by means of which perhaps all the secrets of the Universe can be known and all his fear of the forces beyond his control or power, he could not overcome death and achieve immortality.
God and Nature-Of all parts of Nature, only man puts his own interest before the needs of the system. How we can operate according to the altruistic laws of Nature, which is the same as God.
"Every molecule, every cell, every organ ... has self-interest. When every level in the body shows its self-interest, it forces negotiations among the levels. This is the secret of Nature. Every moment in our body, these negotiations drive our systems to harmony."
The cells in organisms unite by reciprocal giving for the sake of sustaining the whole body. Each cell in the body receives what it needs for its sustenance, and spends the rest of its energy tending to the rest of the body. At every level of Nature, the individual works to benefit the whole of which it is a part, and in that finds its wholeness. Without selfless activities, a body cannot persist. In fact, life itself cannot persist.
Science acknowledges that the biggest, if not the only, problem with our world are we।
