What Is A Human Being?

What Is A Human Being?

We as human beings have progressed widely in all the areas of society's needs. We are astronomically advanced than our first stage of evolution called primitive man. In today's world, we have all sorts of amenities and comforts. We have conquered the skies, earth, and also many other planets too. We are much proud of our progress in every type of material field. We have much celebrated the so-called comforts of life but now we are just being played by these comforts only like a puppet whose strings are in the hands of sensuous pleasures alone.

The already rich man is still running after more wealth to gratify his senses,& a mediocre man doesn't get anything substantial and he curses his condition but still, he is blindly running after everything to make his life more pleasant, whereas a poor man is a complete surrender & cynical and is nothing except cursing him or his family, neighbor, etc..so all are in the rat race in one way or the other.

Now it has been always in my mind which I feel is worth pondering able that now with ever new discoveries in Astronomy we are aware that how small our earth is concerning many other planets and stars and also we have other vast, beyond comprehension vast galaxies also. So think about it that even our planet earth is so tiny like nothing in front of other planets, now imagine how minuscule we are in this whole system of galaxies, we are not even the tiniest bug if we compare our bodies to this infinite world outside. Nevertheless but still we never ponder about these things and just keep on moving with our selfishness like we are something. We are so infinitely small that we can be easily neglected for calculation purposes :).So what's there to arrogant about? where is the ego my friend which claims its existence and we keep on living our whole life with its terms and conditions. Give it a thought and you will find more than 99.99% of our doings are futile and worthless.

So we need to think some other ways of ourselves because when we compare ourselves to the world outside then it would put us to shame only, so what else are we of not this insignificant bag of skin?

According to all the philosophies, we are the divine consciousness itself which pervades all this infinite universe and this body & mind are also its manifestations like other things you see outside. We are one and the continuous witness of what there all is, we are ways beyond our mortal being, as eastern Philosophy says that we are infinite consciousness, existence, and bliss itself. We are ineffable in reality, like a sun which remains there all the time it's just the changes that play around it, but the sun always remains the same, a contact witness. We are a star bound to this body and for it to shine with its full glory then we need to stop our minds from meddling with all the useless thoughts and works & things like lust, anger, greed, etc.

We should work earnestly to claim back our divinity and be bliss itself. Firstly We need to have pure thoughts only to advance in our journey and we should inquire every time who are we?.Constant efforts will surely bear its sweet fruits. Think more from and for inside than what's outside as it's inside only which can give you immense bliss. Happiness for which work our whole life is not in the things without but it could only be found in our deepest part of the heart and to reach that portion of heart you need more expansion in consciousness, always thinking of pure and divine thoughts rather than meddling with the mud of the outside world created by our own selves.

In eastern philosophy, we compare such a mystic who has expanded his consciousness like a lotus flower. It is grown in muddy waters only but it's ever separate from it with all its beauty and glory meaning we too can be in this world with our self-effulgent pristine glory which is our true nature. So strive for perfection and keep taking your father from your normal thinking patterns.
