Be God-men, always associated with God
Activities () are of three kinds , and , (action, inaction, and unaction). Of these unaction is the most subtle of activities, for it is neither sloth nor action motivated by desire. It is simple awareness, the deepest experience, it is neither thamasik nor rajasik. Action is rajasik when urged on by selfish motives. Inaction is thamasik. But unaction is sathwik. Based on these three types of 'activity,' the nature of humans can also be distinguished as characteristic of three types - the beast-men, man-men and God-men types. Those who do not pay any attention to anything other than their own selfish ends, these belong to the beast-man level. They have no trace of devotion and dedication. They do not share in helping others. They have no concern with the sorrows and sufferings of others. They do not take them to heart. They do not worry over the children they have borne or the life partner they are wedded to. The man-men, however, involve themselves in the welfare of their wives and children and the small circle of their kith and kin. They spend their lives in this restricted sphere. Of course, the nature of these people is not laudable; but there is at least the possibility of the little spark of love becoming brilliant and expansive through contacts with society, or impact of saints, or participation in some projects of selfless service. Man-men can raise themselves up into Godmen. The God-men are described in the as - "Always associated with God." They are never apart from God. They experience God in and through all things at all times. Whatever they see or do, they believe it is in God and for God.
