The Right use of Means
Man possesses five excellent means, namely, the intellect, the body, the mind, wealth and language. Human life which is difficult to reach can attain perfection and fruitfulness only if these five means are exer. cised in the right manner. The head or the intellect occupies the highest position in the human body because its importance is greater than that of any other part of the body. The power of the mind is called intelligence or sense. It is intelligence or sense that can distinguish good from evil. All the functions of the human body take place in accordance with its directions. It is this power that helps us to receive and to remember anything. We would have exercised our intelligence properly, if, with its help we decide to understand the messages of great men ; and to study and master the shastras (the sacred books) and to give a proper aim to our life.
