Every human being is living life but how much humanity does it entail? Being born, becoming educated, working, getting married, having kids, having a family and at the end… dying! Is this the standard cycle of life that one has to follow? What is the ultimate goal of life? Why do we have to take birth? What do we want? We have received a human body so it is our duty to be 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 not do the same to anyone. That, according to Him, is the biggest humanity. Whoever understands this and applies it in life knows what humanity is. Getting a human body means one is free to bind karmas that will lead them to the four life forms. From the human form you can again be born in the human form, or be born in the celestial form, or in the animal form and lastly you can be born in hell. 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 hell. If we spend our life in doing good for others and help them without any expectations then we get a life in the celestial form. In the given book, Param Pujya Dadashri has discussed the concepts of humanity with the humble intention that if people learn humanity then their human life will be fruitful.
