We have the same insecurity as the animals have. And we are subject to the same propensities as the animals are. Material possession and material comfort do not distinguish man from animal. The electricity that we have, the power over matter that we seem to possess, the planes and the jets, the physical comforts and the good dishes, the tables and chairs, all these do not make man. This is a foolishness in which we seem to be involved.
Man is a character, an attitude, a conduct, a system of values and a state of consciousness.
That is man. Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj gave this message of universal awakening. He came to the world to shake up man from the sleep of ignorance. Now our eyes have been opened and we can see things as they really are. Man, beware of your own self much more than anything else in this world.
