as the aim of life has aiways been injurious and will always remain so.
The Meaning of Human Life
Human life is meant to bring peace and happiness to every living creature. It is not meant for indulgence in 'worldly pleasures or for ceaseless struggle for procuring those pleasures.
Humanity
Is it the true mark of humanity that you eat good food ? 'Even the dogs and cats of the rich men eat good food. Is it the true mark of humanity that you live in magnificent and palatial buildings ? Evep birds can build their nests in those buildings, and insects can also live there. Is it the mark of humanity that you can read Sanskrit or Prakrit ? Even parrots and some other birds can recite Sanskrit verses. Is it the mark of humanity that you are strong and brave? The lion is very strong; brave and cruel. None of these is the true index of humanity. Wherein, then, lies true humanity ? True humanity lies in high thoughts and noble character.
The Source of Humanity
I have seen hard mountain rocks, but also I have seen tender blades of grass and bushes growing upon them. I have also seen cool and fresh streams of water flowing through those hard rocks of the mountains. Can man be harder then the mountains, so that the streams of love, kindness and sympathy should not flow from his heart ?
