A Human Being should not live an Animal Existence

It is meaningless to be born as a human being and lead an animal existence. Everyone should live up to the motto - ‘Help ever - hurt never.’ Every educated person should engage oneself in selfless service to the society, with humility and a pure heart. All academic distinctions or even observance of spiritual practices are of little use if there is no love in the heart. The heart is called 'Hridaya' in Sanskrit. This term is made up of the two words, ‘Hri’ and ‘Daya’ (compassion). The Lord is described as Hridyavasi (the Indweller in the heart). Love and Compassion are inherent in every person. Every being must share their love with others selflessly. Failure to share one's love is gross ingratitude to society, to which one owes everything. One should give one's love freely to others and receive love in return. This is the deep significance of human life.

Actually I think the insight ‘uprooted tree’ had to do with the meditation experience, we were rooted in that and uprooted by the attitude of the leader who didn’t listen to the words of the master or he didn't get it, he was no friend, no yogi, but in the insight just an actor and he was removed by a light. 

It gets clear by thinking it over, that part was about roots and job and work and the master said when I left that it was the same, not to hold me back, but to help as yogis are our friends, but as it was also wrong understood by the leader we need to first get aware that 'yogis are our friend' as it was writting all over in the ashram. 

When I saw the criminal above the head of the master, it was because of that reason, even when the master told him how to look at it and what to do, he didn't do it and that made him the criminal. 

I don't know why and if he thought it was only true if I did what he wanted, what is not the right level anyhow. 

As Baba said in the inner view, ‘I had been let down by the family’ that is family matter and we have the Homecoming, the book of John Bradshaw and he is working with that reality, but the ‘uprooted tree’ had to do with what had happened with our meditation background, we had been rooted in it and that is also why the master said I could remain it and he said to not mix, it was therefore, the same and als not the same and he said to keep it for myself, that had to do with safety and because he was the leader everybody knew about it. It was not privat, it was public. It was our life and our existence even if it was based on Seva only, service to society.

I felt very tired and in the meantime it is better again. 

It is meaningless to be born as a human being and lead an animal existence. Everyone should live up to the motto - ‘Help ever - hurt never.’ Every educated person should engage oneself in selfless service to the society, with humility and a pure heart.

What is an animal existence? 

If we only work on the mind level, as he said before, the human body has five sheaths and all other species only three sheaths. 

What we have in common with animals is the first three, body and matter, the cover or food sheath, it comes from food and it goes back to food the energy level is prana, the breath and it is hot and belongs to fire and therefore, it is upward directed and the third sheath is the mind, heavy and cold and related to water and downward directed. The mind is directed towards the senses and sense-enjoyment. When Baba tells that we should not live an animal existence, it is a life only for sense-gratification, because all other species have only three sheaths. And in getting a human body we have five sheaths, the fourth is the intellect, it is also related to fire and directed upwards and in that sense it envelops the mind, there is the breath and the intellect and both are upwards directed. With the help of the breath and the intellect we can go beyond the mind and instead of going downwards into the senses, we go upwards in direction of the light and divinity. And the fifth sheath is the heart level, it is bliss, Ananda.

An animal existence is only living for sense-gratification and not aware of the intellect and the heart level. When our life is only about the senses and the purpose is not going beyond the mind, but still in the mind, we are actually as he said before even worse when becoming a victim of the sense again and it is dark ignorance, it gets worse if we have already in the service of humanity and that maybe explains why it felt that bad and not at all good.

All academic distinctions or even observance of spiritual practices are of little use if there is no love in the heart. The heart is called 'Hridaya' in Sanskrit. This term is made up of the two words, ‘Hri’ and ‘Daya’ (compassion). The Lord is described as Hridyavasi (the Indweller in the heart). Love and Compassion are inherent in every person.

Baba explains here lovingly the fifth sheath and why there is no use of getting into spiritual practices without love in the heart. It is inherent in every person, but if for all species there are only three sheaths with all others it is the mind sheath what is the same for all and not the heart.

Every being must share their love with others selflessly. Failure to share one's love is gross ingratitude to society, to which one owes everything. One should give one's love freely to others and receive love in return. This is the deep significance of human life.

If we do not share our love selflessly it is not pure love and we are in the mind and not on the fifth sheath and it is the fourth sheath the intellect that makes us discriminate between the mind and the heart. 

That tells us why we need always discrimination between the mind and the heart. If we use discrimination we actually know that we owe society everything. We are not aware of it without a sense of duty and we are only able to give our love freely to others and we receive love in return if we use discrimination and we know what we are doing.

Baba tells us, first discrimination (the fourth sheath), second seeing it in our own life, we can only learn from our own experience and that is only in our own life and third we should always go on no matter what obstacles are there and sometimes the obstacles seem very big, but we have to go on.

One should give one's love freely to others and receive love in return. This is the deep significance of human life.

Human life is also natural law, if we have five sheaths we have to live up to it to get the fulfillment of our life and if we live only three sheaths we will not be fulfilled and take a new body to get another chance to become human and to live a human life and not just an animal existence.
