Passage 10

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

Next, what man must recognise is: "I am man." "I am …" … I am man: that is only a half truth. Where is the other half truth? I am not animal: this is a half truth. Only when these two halves join do you become a full man. So only when you come to this feeling, I am man, I am not animal, will animal feelings not enter you. Calling yourself a man and doing the deeds of a beast: is that holy? How … it is! How shameful it is! Calling yourself a human being and doing the deeds of a beast: is that worthy of you? With a beast, saying and doing are all of a piece. With you, … is one thing and doing another; animal is better than you. So, without taking … the wrong road, win the good name of "I am a human being"; hold Prema alone to be your very life. Live your daily life with Prema.
