The Destiny of Man-21.

-


And therefore I must strive.

Even if I strive all my life and do not completely rise up to the level of my ideal, it does not matter.

I have not failed, I have succeeded in my life because I never gave up this idealism.

That is success in life.


And therefore man’s destiny is to become an ideal human individual, in humaneness, in feeling and consideration for others.

As you wish others to behave towards yourself, so behave always towards them.

Shine as an ideal human individual, as an asset and a blessing to your contemporary society, be a center of good and benefit to all others and a character with ethical principles and moral standard.

You become a jewel, a priceless diamond and you enrich the society for living and acting in it.

This is the destiny of man for which he has to intelligently work.


And upon the inner realm of the spirit your destiny is to regain the lost divine perfection which is your eternal state,

for you have your origin from that supreme cosmic being,

that tremendous imponderable cosmic being,

the cosmic power and intelligence which is the sum totality of all that is auspicious, beautiful, good, pure and holy.


That is the Supreme Being.

You are part of it.

You are rooted in that.

You live, move and have your being in that Supreme Being, whether you know it or not.

For that Supreme Being is not located at any point in space or time—He is all-pervading.

He is immanent in all these billions of universes that He has created, and because He is infinite all these created things are within Himself.

26/11/2018 The Call of Sri Krishna: The Gospel of Super Excellence - 6. : Swami Krishnananda (Talk given on Janmashtami, Sri Krishna's birthday.) A powerful interest that dominates a man's life polarises his mind, which then acts like a magnet and continually draws out from his stored-up experiences and also from new experiences whatever is relevant and useful to the end in view. Deep interest invigorates the mind, awakens its dormant powers and is the key to super excellence, invention and discovery. Hard work is another condition of superiority. The aspirant must master the knowledge and technique pertaining to his particular job; in fact, he must be a keen and lifelong learner, ready to pick up new ideas and new ways wherever he can find them. He must cultivate the habits of thoroughness, accuracy and reliability; he must take pains to check, revise and polish his work until it acquires as perfect a finish as possible within the limits of time available.

================================================================ Wednesday, 24 Jan 2024.  05:30. Article: Philosophy: The Aim of Human Existence – Part 3/3 (Spoken at a Conference in Delhi on Sept. 21, 1980) Post-9. ================================================================ The Aim of Human Existence – Part 3/3 -1 No success in any field of life can be achieved without tapas. Tapas is the guarantee for success in any walk of life, in any direction of any activity. We have been told that creation originated with the tapas of the Creator. The Nasadiya Sukta of the Veda tells us that the Supreme Creator performed tapas when He willed this vast creation, and the whole of His creation is vibrant with various degrees and manifestations of this supreme tapas. In this sense, we may say that the whole creation is only tapas, and the activities of nature in its generality and of people in its particularity are all engendered by a force which can be best described as tapas. I for one ca...

Transitioning Consciousness from the Animal Through the Human Stage to the Divine Consummation :

We generally characterize the major difference in psychology between animals and human beings as the result of the ability of the human being to utilize the Reason, a higher form of intelligence than the basic sense apparatus and physical mind that clearly is predominant in the animal consciousness. At the same time, we can see elements of the power of Reason in the animal kingdom, and cannot deny that most human beings utilize the sense and physical mind capacities as their primary tool for navigating their way through their lives. Sri Aurobindo points out that “…reason is only a particular and limited utilitarian and instrumental activity that proceeds from something much greater than itself, from a power that dwells in an ether more luminous, wider, illimitable.” There appears to be actually a ladder of consciousness which does not provide clearly defined separate steps between the animal and man, and which has not finished its ascent with the appearance of the reasoning f...
