Manav means Intelligent Conduct



Manav means Intelligent Conduct :

God has given you the human body not merely to eat, sleep and enjoy worldly pleasures. The body is given to you so that you make proper use of your intelligence and power of discrimination and manifest your innate human values. What is the meaning of the word manava or human being? ‘Ma’ means ajnana or ignorance, ‘na’ means without, ‘va’ means varthinchuta (vrittih yasya sah) or to conduct oneself. Hence, manava is one who conducts himself without ignorance. But these days, we hardly find anyone leading a life of wisdom in consonance with the word manava. In spite of being endowed with a high degree of intelligence, man is frittering away his life in vain pursuits....

Om Namah Shivay.
