Every human being is living a life but how much humanity does he have? Birth, education, job, marriage, kids, family and at the end…death! Is this the standard cycle of life to be followed? What is the ultimate goal of such a life? Why do we have to take birth? What do we want?
The human body that we have got…should do the duty of being humane. There should be humanity in life. But what is humanity?
According to Param Pujya Dadashri, the Gnani Purush (the enlightened one). The definition of humanity is that when someone hurts you, troubles you, you don’t like it. Hence, you should also not hurt anyone. That, according to him, is the biggest humanity. Whoever understands this and applies it in life means he knows what is humanity.
Getting a human body means one is free to go to any is one of the four forms of life (gattis). One is human form, the other three being – animal form, devgatti (heaven/celestial being) and narak gatti (hell/beast form).
Whatever are the causes so are the effect. If we show humanity, we will get a human body in next birth. If we are inhumane, we will be re-born as in animal form. If we are extremely bad and inhumane then we are re-born in narak gatti. If we spend our life in doing good for others and help them without any expectations then we get a life in devgatti.
In the given book, Param Pujya Dadashri has discussed the concepts of humanity with the humble intention that if people learn humanity then human life will be fruitful.
