The Practice of Humanity
(sanskaar) are very elevated. If only one comes within the bounds of humanity; our cultural values are so elevated that they are innumerable, but these people have strayed away from the practice of humanity. This is because they have fallen prey to greed and temptation. Over here [in India], anger, pride, deceit, and greed are fully developed. That is why these people have deviated from humanity. Nonetheless, they are eligible for liberation (moksha). This is because one becomes eligible for liberation from the time he starts to develop (spiritually] here [in India]. Those people are not eligible for liberation. They are eligible for religion, but they are not eligible for liberation.
A Special Understanding of Humanity
Questioner: Please expand on the various characteristics of the different types of humanity.
Dadashri: There are various grades of humanity. Humanity exists in every country, and there are grades based on their level of development. Humanity means that one should decide on his own grade that, 'If I want to implement humanity, then whatever I find agreeable, I will do the same for others. Whatever I find agreeable, I will carry out the same for others.' That is known as humanity. The humanity of each one is different. So, everyone's humanity is not the same; it is based on a person's gradation!
Therefore, whatever you find agreeable, you should maintain the same towards everyone, such that, 'If I feel hurt, then wouldn't the other person feel hurt?' You feel hurt when someone steals from you, so while stealing from someone else, you should have the thought, “No! How can I do something that will hurt someone? If you feel hurt when someone lies to you, then you should give the same consideration [to others]. The gradation of humanity is different for every country, for each and every person.
