A human being is a combination of morality, righteousness (Dharma) and spirituality. All these three constituents are contained in a human being. Hence, humanness should not be divorced from spirituality. Divinity is immanent in Man. People consider themselves as mere human beings, but this is not so. All of them are manifestations of the Divine. It is because people do not recognize this fact that so much confusion arises in human activity. Every person should develop an awareness of being a manifestation of God; only then will one come to understand one’s true nature, and realize that we are neither distinct nor apart from God. God is the Indweller in the human heart – the spiritual heart. There is no meaning in going elsewhere in search of God. Realizing this, people should lead a life of kindness to all beings...People should cultivate love and cherish the feeling of oneness with all beings.
