HUMAN VALUES

Abstract

When vasanas are roused in the mind, viveka-sakti (power of discrimination) goes away. It acts like a child who does not discriminate between good and bad but wants everything. The child is drawn to whatever looks attractive. Human beings behave the same way when the available viveka is not used. Atma is nityamukta. Whatever you want to be, you are alreadythat. You want to be a. significant person? The fact is that you are already the most significant being in the world. This whole world exists because of you. Drawing strength from you, the sun and moon rise. But you do not see the significant nature of your Self because you have identified yourself with the upadhi, your body. You want to knowledgeable but you are the source of all knowledge. You want to be powerful but you are the source of all power, sarvasaktiman.
