Are you a man?

If you ask this question to one million people at a time, what will be their response? Off-course Yes. Do you agree with this response? If all of us are human being, then why there is so much unrest in the world. Take the example of political system or social system or economic system everywhere there is stress, anxiety AND violence in different forms.  What is the reason behind this unrest? Here we are using the term man for “human being” mean man and women both.

First of all, let us understand the meaning of a man then will do a quality check of present man.  A man is a combination of 3 different critical elements. Missing of any of three disqualifies a person to be a man.

a-       Physical Body

b-      Mind

c-       Atma

In combination these are called SAT, CHIT AND ANANDA.

Physical body is most essential part to become a man. It is like hardware of this system. It includes different systems of the body like digestive system, circulatory system, endocrine system, urinary system, nervous system etc etc.

2^nd most element of a manhood is mind. It is like software “Operating and Application both”. Mind is a component which differentiates a person from other animals. By this element a person becomes eligible to differential between right and wrong, true or false, meritorious or sinful. He understands human values generally accepted in the world. He understands the objective of his life and differentiates him from other living species. Except these functions all living species have same life style.

3^rd element of becoming a man is Atma. Atma is same in all persons. It is not subject to change and firmly established in its truth.

Here 1^st and 3^rd elements are almost common in all but difference arises at 2^nd element. Means utilization of mind differentiates between a man from demon. If person is able to control his mind for welfare of humanity. He is master of his mind. He is able to demonstrate unity in his thought deed and action. He is compassionate about others. He has genuine love for others, He lives peacefully and do not indulge in violence then undoubtedly he qualifies to be man? In other words, mind is nothing but a bundle of thoughts. So we can say that man is actually reflection of his thoughts.

On the other hand, if he is slaves of his senses. He is greedy & selfish and spreads negative vibrations then you cannot treat him as a man. He may look like a man but he is actually a demon.

By now we have understood about difference in being human from other living species. So let’s adopt the thoughts which can justify us to remain a mankind.
