In English
MAN is an amalgam of body, mind and spirit. The senses of perception and action, which form the components of the body, are busy contacting the objective world. The mind - consciousness of the various levels, the faculty of reason and the ego - examines, experiences and judges. It decides after discrimination, which word or deed will be beneficial, favourable, fruitful and felicitous. It attempts to separate the good from the bad, the (virtuous deed) from the papa (sinful action), the true from the false, the permanent from the momentary. The Spirit or the Self or the is unaffected, stable and foundational. Its quality is (is-ness) but it is ever aware, ever .(consciousness). And when the conscious is pure and unchanging, that state is undiluted felicity, delight or (divine bliss). What is the purpose of -life, for man? What has to be his highest achievement. Tennyson has extolled "Self-reverence, Self-knowledge, Self-control" ("these three alone lead man to sovereign power") as the ultimate goal.
