In plain words
We must not cause anyone pain. But in some situations we are put through certain kinds of suffering. In such a situation one must take some time to inquire into what is lasting and what is passing. The sacred feelings in man are what is called Śiva-nature. This sacredness is always there in every human being. No man can be found in the world who has no sacredness. He may not recognise it, but there is sacredness in every single one. In such a situation, how are we to understand humanness? We must regard it as divinity that has taken on a human form.
The divinity in humanness must be set on the sacred path
The body is only made of the five elements. It is the dwelling place of God. Body is the Temple of GOD. But this temple is not fixed; it is a moving temple. Wherever you look, God is there. ‘Sarvataḥpāṇipādaṃ tatsarvatokṣi śiromukham…’ Everywhere there are His hands and feet. So the divinity in humanness must be set on the sacred path. Only when it is set on such a sacred path does it turn into divinity. It is the feeling that the body is the self that binds him. It is the feeling of the Paramātma that sets him free. However long we live in the world, we must live as divinity. Some qualities grow beyond measure in man. They are nothing but his own weaknesses. Many people cultivate many kinds of bad qualities and bring them out in order to proclaim their own greatness by them. That is not humanness. ‘Of all creatures, a human birth is hard to gain.’ To be born as a human being, for a body of the five elements to come forth: all this is for doing the actions of the body. ‘The body is indeed the first means of Dharma.’ We must set this body on the path of karma. What is this Dharma? Dharma is what is joined with the actions of mind, speech and body. Only then does the name humanness have its meaning.
