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 labour
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 defence 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 cannot 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।
You've
been building value within you all your life. It is the priceless value of
experience, and every bit of it is still with you.
Today
you have more than you've ever had. Think of all the Good and useful things you
can do with that wealth of Experience.
From
every victory, from every defeat, that experience grows Wiser and more
valuable. And now, in this moment, you can utilize the value of your lifelong
experience to create even more value.
Your
perspective is unique, and from that perspective you can build a richness of
living that is perfectly suited to you. What's more, you can share that
richness with those around you to make it even more fulfilling. What a great
opportunity you have. And you do indeed have it, wherever you are and whatever you've
been through.
