A 'manava' (human being) is soft, sweet and immortal, whereas 'danavas' (demonic-natured persons) are merciless, lawless and have
no sweetness in them. They may look like good people; however
bereft of kindness and righteousness, how can they be called as human
beings? Good human beings are those, who engage themselves in
soft and sweet deeds of kindness, righteousness, and tread the path of
love and truth. Their good nature is resplendent and
reflects on their faces which beam with joy at all times.
