👉 Wealth of Awareness (Part 1)

🔶 The characteristic making difference between a man and an animal is the awareness. Only due to its absence all the creatures other than human being are categorized on equal footing despite the fact that all creatures including human being are conscious. There is life in vegetables but no awareness. Others in this category are bees, insects,   mosquitoes etc which though have life like a human being but not the awareness. Fishes have life; frogs have life, tortoises have life; birds do have life then why we do not keep them on equal footing? We do so only because these creatures do not have any awareness.

🔷 The man has been conceived as the god of awareness/knowledge. Only his thoughtfulness, discreetness has led him to be positioned far above other creatures under the sun. Just imagine the man as a wild man of ancient times when he did not have any knowledge/awareness. Sociality as well as sense of responsibilities would have been unknown to him. When he would have been unknown about traits of his temperament, his pride, dignity, merits and actions then he too, as told by Darwin-monkey’s son, would have been really like a son of a monkey. But today the same man has become the owner of the universe, for what reason? In comparison to ancient times, today the awareness/knowledge of man has grown manifold.
