Humans
Beings define human being (definition of human being)
While glancing through discussions
on the Internet... I chanced to see a query? Who is a human being... what is the
definition of human being... define human being and so on.
Human beings
are the last stage in the manifestation built by God. This is primarily
related to the solar system with Sun forming the core of the planetary
system.
In the cosmic
system as understood by human beings... the entity of a human being
is the pivotal point. Unless and until one manifests the form of
a human being... every evolutionary stage is but an interim phase
in the cosmic life cycle.
It is only as
a Human Being that one reaches the end of cosmic life. It is only
as a Human Being that one can gain enlightenment and finally salvation
moksha in Hinduism. The manifest form of a human being is the highest
stage that can be reached in the evolutionary system for it is only
as a Human Being that the soul atman within us comes back to its
pristine cosmic glory.
It
is only as a Human Being Gautama became Gautama Buddha, Mahavira
gained his real self and finally emancipated himself from the circle of life and
death, and Jesus
Christ gained enlightenment and finally released himself from the shackles
of manifesting life again and again. It
is only as a Human Being Prophet
Mohammed gained his wisdom and became a man god in his lifetime. Amongst
all the fascinations associated with human beings... it is amazingly true that
as a human being also there are about 1.1 million types of manifestations. And
what does this mean?
Before a living form reaches the stage of human beings it has already lived about
7.3 million life forms. Out of a maximum of 8.4 million manifestations that are
required before one reaches the end of cosmic life... As a human being we are
required to pass through a maximum of 1.1 million manifestations. It is rather
unbelievable yet true!
Does
this mean that after reaching the stage of a human being... one need 1.1 million
manifestations in the routine to gain absolute wisdom and reach that stage of
enlightenment and finally salvation? Yes, it is so! The
wisdom contained in the Bhagavad Gita, the doctrine put forward by Lord
Krishna in the battlefield of Mahabharata
explains the crux of human life. The knower of Bhagavad Gita becomes the knower
of all. Having known Bhagavad Gita one reaches stage of enlightenment for ever!
The doctrine of Bhagavad Gita teaches one the true essence of life. And what is
this essence of life?
The essence of life contained in Bhagavad Gita explains the crucial relationship
between the soul atman and the human being. Bhagavad Gita makes it clear that
it is the soul atman within the body which has manifested the body and not vice
versa. The body being only a garment for the soul atman within... it is the soul
atman which is on its cosmic journey.
The
moment human beings realize the crux of Bhagavad Gita... gaining enlightenment
is not afar. Rather one reaches the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi. It is the stage
of Nirvikalpa Samadhi reaching which one can have a dialogue with God on one-to-one
basis and that too permanently. Reaching
the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi is the goal of every spiritual seeker. Beyond
the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi there is nothing else required to be learnt by
human beings? One becomes practically omniscient reaching the stage of Nirvikalpa
Samadhi.
There are about 6 billion human beings in the world. The cosmic goal of all human
beings is the same. In whatever stage of manifestation (amongst the 1.1 million
manifestations) ... it is for human beings to decide when and how to proceed towards
the kingdom of God.
Reaching
the end of cosmic journey... gaining enlightenment and finally salvation means
reaching the kingdom of God! Having gained enlightenment... the need for going
to the heaven ceases to exist! Heaven and hell are interim stages in the cosmic
system where our soul atman resides unless it gets matching parents to conceive
on Mother Earth. It
is absolutely clear that no human being can directly either go to heaven or the
kingdom of God. The domain of heaven and hell and also the kingdom of God is open
for soul atmans only. In the physical manifest form of life as a human being or
any other form... any wishful thinking of becoming an immortal does not exist
in the cosmic system.
In the bodily form no human being can ever reach either heaven or the kingdom
of God. Only after human beings gain emancipation that the liberated soul atman
gains foothold in the kingdom of God. This is not a surmise... this is the essence
of Bhagavad Gita, the doctrine put forward by Lord Krishna in the battlefield
of Mahabharata.
The
cosmic essence of life for human beings is gaining emancipation at the earliest.
It is only human beings that can gain access to the kingdom of God. No other form
of life is competent for that. only as a Human Being can one reach the end of
cosmic journey... the 8.4 millionth manifestation! The
stages of heaven and hell are interim stages. They have never been places of permanent
abode for the soul atman within our body.
We also need to remember that the form of human beings is the last manifest stage
in the cosmic life as we human beings know it. All souls' atmans within the gravitational
pull of the solar system have the form of human beings as the highest manifest
stage in the cyclic things of life.
It
is but possible that in other solar systems where life exists... the form of a
snake may be the highest manifest stage in the cosmic life cycle. Similarly on
other life sustaining planets in various other solar systems spread across the
Cosmos... the insects may form the highest manifest stage in the cosmic life cycle. The
form of a human being is but efficient to gain wisdom and finally emancipate from
the cycle
of birth and death. It need not necessarily be the same on other life
sustaining planets in different solar systems across the Cosmos. They may have
different manifest forms as the highest stage of life unlike the form of human
beings. The
prime reason why human beings are not permitted to travel away from the gravitational
pull of one solar system to another! Whatever be the development of science...
unmanned space ships can definitely travel to the other end of cosmos but the
journey by human beings would be limited to the confines of the present solar
system.
Hopping
from one solar system to another by human beings is just not permitted by God
Almighty. Truthfully spirituality neither desires it. Reaching the end of the
cosmic life is possible for all human beings... We need learn the cosmic wisdom
to do so. Becoming a Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or prophet Mohammed
is the goal of every human being. Stating
otherwise... every human being has the capability of becoming a Mahavira, a Gautama
Buddha, Jesus Christ or prophet Mohammed! In the last above 150 years two persons
have reached the stage of enlightenment. They were Sri
Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana.
The essence of life as a human being is liberating our soul atman residing in
our heart for ever from cycle of birth and death. The moment our soul atman reaches
the 8.4 millionth manifestation... it steps into the kingdom of God for ever.
The kingdom of God is a point of no return. No soul atman can ever escape the
kingdom of God for manifesting life again. It is just not permitted nor is it
necessary. Normal
human beings on Mother Earth can always invoke the power of the liberated souls
from the kingdom of god for their blessings and grace. Every liberated soul atman
shall manifest a life form again only when the dissolution of the present Cosmos
occurs and starts a new cosmos with a big bang. Glory
is to human beings... the highest manifest stage in the cosmic system. The earlier
we decide to reach the end of the cosmic life... the better! Essay
