Human Being; Onus Of Spiritual Progression

Human Beings have been trying to distinguish themselves since times immemorable on various parameters.

- Dr. Mandeep Prakash

The most hackneyed statement that "the man is a social animal" tries to distinguish man from other animals on the basis of the organized society that man built around yet man discovered that it is not only the human beings who have organized society but there are many other species of birds, animals and even insects that follow distinct social norms and even rituals rather the society among human beings is slowly disappearing to have its bound and customs giving way to the state and its laws. Individual's Human existence is no more subject to social compliance and conformity.

The other much touted statement "that the man is an intelligent being/Animal" is also confronted with the demonstration of intelligence by many birds, animals-Dogs, Mice, Parrots, Chimpanzees are known to have solved some very intricate puzzles and practical problems after due training under experimental as well as domesticated environment. Similarly the distinction of human beings to be "emotional beings" has also been diluted by the expressions of emotions not only among the world of fauna but also in the world of flora as had been demonstrated by our own scientists including the luminary Sh. J. C. Boss. Thus the elements of being gregarious, intelligent, emotional are available among various biological entities on this Mother Earth. Not only are there similarities in the various citizens of plants and animals kingdom on the parameters of social structure intelligence to perceive and process for the sake of survival and propagation as well as the perception of emotional warmth and cold shouldering the very existence of life runs the veins of similarity in all living beings. This flow of life is like the electricity that heat of the oven, lights of the bulb, rotates the fans, releases the refrigerators, runs the water pump and so on and so forth.
