Human Being, coexistence of Self and Body

A human is a coexistence of self, I, and the body. And self is the consciousness of the polluted self and the true self. The polluted self is the diluted true self. And we human beings are driven by self. Every space is filled with self, provided it is not blended with body, for we can’t see. 

What is the true self? True self is being oneself truly. Every good act and thought is the result of one's true self. It is nothing but the real human instinct. When a child is born, he/she has nothing but a real true self. 

The moment they started growing in the hand of the polluted self of dear parents, they got polluted in the power of hatred, jealousy, and partiality. Meaning the polluted self started growing on them, and ultimately they are a mixture of the true and polluted self. This is what you are. 

For instance, you are taking medicine for TB. The doctor assured you that the treatment will definitely alleviate your suffering. It is your true self knocking you to take the medicine. You never think about the drawbacks. 

At times your true self and polluted self contradict. If you are a compassionate human being, your polluted self will not rule you. If you do not overcome this, everything will be suppressed and buried under your polluted self, making it difficult for you to rise again. For example, you are going with your friend to smoke. You know that it is not good for anything. Your true self is constantly telling you that it is not good. Even then you end up smoking. It means you are driven by your polluted self.

Happiness comes from the true self. Unhappiness comes from a polluted self.  You be a good human, knowing the values of thy survival. Understand the ultimate misery before you act and remind you always. The result will always be something that you can cherish and smile about. Humans behave like animals and ultimately resort to misery, vengeance, bloodshed, and massacre. Soon the world will be full of terrorists if everything in them is concreted with polluted self. 

Dharma tells us to erase self. It is not telling and teaching us to erase our true selves. It only stresses rubbing and making invisible your polluted self and trying to build your true self. Rebuild and correct all polluted to untainted, which ultimately shows that we are living as human consciousness. 

You believe in the karmic connection of rebirth. It will be you who will be reborn if and only if you are bound by only your true self. Survival of you now with it is intimately bound up with the rebirth of you in the next life as a human. 

Lastly, you eat meat like hungry jackals gulping the flesh of the half-rotten carcass of a buffalo. You keep on eating, and it becomes your habit, and finally there will be a stage where you will be born as carnivores like tigers, lions, etc., which are fond of eating meat. 

Be a simple, coherent human being brimming with true selves. 

This is what I was told in the Human Value Education Club meeting.
