Humanness is a marvellous thing. It is boundless and significant, but the term ‘human’ does not refer merely to the physical body. A human being is a composite of body, mind and Atma. To perform actions with the body, to understand them through the mind and to have the Atma as witness to both of these – that constitutes human existence. Action, awareness, realisation – these three exemplify human life. Right from the outset, one should understand the nature and aim of human existence, and lead a meaningful life. It is because one has a mind, that one can be called a human being. ‘As one thinks, so does one become’.
- Divine Discourse, 20th May 1993.
