Virtuous
Concepts of Humanity
Humanity is the excellent
quality connected with moral goodness, derived from gentle and passionate
thoughts in mankind. It becomes the habitual action of saving lives and relieve
sufferings, where ever needed, while ensuring regards for the individuals. Thus
humanity has the righteous skill of compassion, brotherly love, fellow
feelings, kind hardheartedness, understanding, sympathy, tolerance, gentleness,
mercy, lenience, pity, tenderness, charity, generosity, magnanimity and
humaneness. The attributes of affection, mercy and tenderness are the
necessities and not luxuries. We need to live with eternal prospective, do as
believer and working with wisdom. Without these qualities, humanity does not
survive. The Latin word, ‘Humantas’ especially suggests the ‘Human nature for
kindness’. Humanity rises to every challenge and sinks to any depth but we must
cherish every heartbeat.
Strength
of Humanity:
Understand that you have never lived today,
until you have done something for someone, who can never repay you. Three noble
qualities are considered encouraging, which provide enormous vigor and
delight—Love, Kindness and public intellect. Love has different ranges varying
from biological process to religious concepts. It is a mutual sensation among
people characterized by attachment, comfort and general positive feelings.
Strength of love is not about the capacity but being involved in loving
relationships. Love purifies mind to sublimity and enlightenment that elevates
the level of life.
The strength of kindness tends
to increase the feelings of generosity, altruism and general desire to help the
needy. Giving is more important than receiving; take care for grateful and
ungrateful. The public intellect conveys to create good social relationships
involved in intimacy, trust, persuasion, group membership and public affair.
These characteristics help to develop high social intelligence, respect towards
people, humility and feeling of gratitude toward God. Thus pursuit of
righteousness empowers the path to strength and glory.
Noble
aspects to promote humanitarian traits:
There are differences in human
beings and being humane. The provision for human assistance must be impartial
and solemn, free from caste, creed, race, religion, province, political
category and nationality. When the mankind is treated equally under different
circumstances by saving lives and relieves sufferings, it ensures respect for
all individuals. Replace hatred with love, envious nature with affection, anger
with calmness, selfishness with sacrifice, fear with courage, greed with
contentment, despair with hope and inertia with actions. If you keep faith in
Divine power, try to evoke spiritual grace.
You must adapt honesty,
truthfulness, universal brotherhood, amiable behavior, selfless voluntary
service, righteous thoughts and destination, true regards for elders,
sovereignty, patriotism, self confidence, share earnings with needy, justice,
forgiveness, sweet conversation, vegetarian diet, regular prayers and
meditation. Always abstain from evil concepts of criticism, falsehood,
corruption, bribery, cheating, dowry, egoism, violence, intoxicants, hatred,
superstitions, ostentations, back biting, ill-will, gambling, theft, pollution
etc.
The positive attitude awakens
energy, initiatives, inner strength and motivation. These must be supplemented
with positive sentiments and actions. The will power to work positively
acquires a climax if mind is stable, the objectives are noble for social
benefits, the perception is positive, mood is pleasant and selfish desires are
least. Certain more constructive purview can be:
- Develop
righteous habits, strong character, amiable behavior and virtuous qualities of
humanity.
- Achieve
capabilities to perform certain innovative tasks beyond expectations.
- Avoid
temptations and selfish motives.
- Confirm
responsibilities for improvements of nature and society.
- Acknowledge
that you can convey your reverence to Almighty God only on loving His creation.
The absolute conviction brings freedom to human soul. The blessings of
spiritual guide help to express liberation and joy. He is capable to link us
with ultimate truth through self recognition so as to evolve from deepest depth
to become the refined humane creation of the world.
- Once,
we relieve in our qualities, we can enrich our curiosity to reveal our strong
spirit.
- In
religious celebrity, a true human being is very sacred and sanctified person,
completely devoted to the spiritual master.
Tasks
of Welfare:
Many governments, U. N.
agencies, Red Cross, social NGO, NPO and religious organizations participate in
the magnificent, splendid and admirable tasks of social welfare with full
devotion. The central and state governments in India have launched many
projects to help the destitute, for instance, allocation of plots, free
construction of home, house hold gas connections, free insurance policies, free
pension to aged persons and educated unemployed, provide relief to farmers due
to damage of crops, compensation to the families suffering injury or death due
to natural calamities or accidents etc. The civil or social organizations try
to establish educational institutions, play grounds, libraries, hospitals,
guest houses (inns), and buildings for orphans, blinds, physically handicapped
and aged persons. These agencies should
operate with respect to culture and customs; the humanitarian response should
use more local resources; the sharing of beneficiaries should be encouraged; it
shall be better if they are accountable to both donors and persons achieving
benefits; the provision for assistance must be impartial. World ‘Humanitarian
Day’ is observed on 19th August annually, dedicated to organizations
involved in the virtuous concepts. Social affection and lenience of charity are
praiseworthy humanitarian acts for voluntary help to the needy. It is the
benevolent process of sharing the righteous concept unlimited passion.
An
organization famous at global level, Dera Sacha Sauda is renowned as,
‘Confluence of all Religions’ because it imparts reverence to every religion
and welcomes people of every caste, province and nation. With the benevolence
and guidance of most adorable Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan, this
organization has launched 127 important projects of humanitarian social
welfare. It has established many educational institutions for boys and girls
(to provide free education to the trifling), Super-specialty Hospitals (with
most prominent facilities), International sports stadia (for cricket, tennis,
skating hockey, wrestling, swimming), Mobile hospital (Farishta) etc.; manage
free camps for eyes, general medical
checkup and polio and blood donation. More than 5-milion followers have been
advised to adopt the various tasks which do not require any monetary
expenditure. The volunteers are guided for tree plantation; free cleaning of
streets, roads, pools, canals etc.; providing manual, financial and moral help
to the needy; establish food and cloth bank; adopt self reliance, disaster
management, scientific farming; righteous customs; peace and meditation;
vegetarian diet; blood donation, empowerment of women; saving energy; avoid
pollution; acquire good habits and strong character. This organization has
achieved excellent talents and established many Guinness Book Record (15), Asia
Book Record (29), India Book Record
(9), Limca Book Record (2).
Certain
countries are prominent in their natural resources, income and scientific
progress, whereas, a few nations are still developing. Therefore, people of all
nations should develop universal brotherhood and positive attitude for peace.
They should never think or work against any caste, religion and country because
human race is Divine creation everywhere, interconnected with land, ocean,
atmosphere, sun and moon.
Social
Benefits: Compassion, love and kindness are necessities, not luxuries. You
must not lose faith in humanity. Aristotle and Plato considered that courage,
justice, temperance and generosity, friendliness, truthfulness, grandeur of
appearance and greatness of soul to be the sole virtues, respectively. All of
us, the great or little has need for each other. A trouble shared is a trouble
halved. The wisdom of charity helps to discard ego and arrogance. The most
valued and sacred instants of our life are filled with spirit of warm affection
and delight. The voluntary support through resourceful persons, when they give
cheerfully and the recipient accepts gratefully, is benevolent goodwill and
sense of generosity. It becomes a treasure of Divine boost during life and
after life.
Humanity
is Divine bliss:
We
claim that Almighty Lord and soul are metaphysical, ontological, immortal and
celestial powers of universe. There is only one God who has created all human
beings in His own image. Thus the human race is the superb, subtle and supreme
creation due to the graceful benevolence of God. He has bestowed unique
qualities and multifarious duties to mankind for proper care, protection and
progress of nature and living beings. He also relates to advanced state of
humanity with great moral values and spiritual emancipation. The more a man
advances towards Divine, the more enlightened he becomes, and more he understands
the purpose and meaning of life. Every beautiful soul is alive to justice,
goodness, enthusiasm and devotion. The angels show itself rarely and with
difficulty. A remarkable quote conveys,’ we are not human beings having a
spiritual experience but we are spiritual beings having human experience.
Individually we are like single drop, but together we are ocean.’ According to
Mahatma Gandhi, ’Humanity is like an ocean, if a few drops of ocean are dirty,
the complete ocean does not become dirty.’
The practice
of religion generally includes commemoration of Divine actions under the
guidance of saints (spiritual guide) through sermons, initiation meditation,
sacrifices, public or social services and other aspects of human culture. Let
us determine to lead our life with highest ethical purity because spiritual
progress is not possible without moral concepts of humanity.
