Passage 1

In English

What is life? Who is a human being? The proper study of mankind is man. Human life is very precious and valuable. It is very sacred and holy. It is a life worth living. Today’s man, without recognizing the value of life, is misusing it by immersing himself in only worldly pleasures and sensual pleasures. Worldly pleasures, bodily pleasures are enjoyed even by beasts and birds and animals. If man also tries to enjoy only physical pleasures, what is the difference between man and beasts and bird - animals? Where is man at present? At the lower level is the animal taste; in the middle is the human quality; at the top level is Divinity. Man, who is in the middle, has to look upward; he should not go downward. Today’s man is not looking up but is always looking down. Therefore, man is becoming an animal. How can man attain Divinity? We keep saying God and Divinity, but to attain Divinity, we have to look upward and give up lower thoughts.
