00:00First of all, we need to understand the definition of manavadharma.

00:12Manavadharma refers to the humanity that one has, out of humanity.

00:23In humanity, the core aspect is that whatever we do, if that is affecting another person,

00:33whoever comes in touch with us, be it at home or outside or at work, wherever, if the other

00:44person is getting affected by us, then we should think, what if we were in his place,

00:49how would we feel?

00:52For instance, we are walking down the street and we find a wallet with 5,000 pounds.

00:59Now upon seeing the 5,000 pounds, one would feel happy, wow, I found so much money.

01:06Some would even start planning, what will I do with it, how will I spend it, I need

01:13to buy this and that, great that I have found the money.

01:16He would feel delighted, oh, today I have won the lottery.

01:23However, the one who follows humanity, the first thought that would arise in him as soon

01:32as he finds the wallet with 5,000 pounds, the first thought that would arise for him

01:37is, what will the person who has lost his wallet be feeling right now?

01:47If I had lost my wallet like this, then what would happen to me?

01:53That is how the person who has lost his wallet must be feeling like right now.

01:58The one who has such a thought is considered to be humane.

02:03He would think about the other person.

02:06With this thought arising, he would not start planning how to spend that money or what to

02:10buy with it.

02:11He would not have such thoughts.

02:13He would only think about, let me find out who the owner is and return his money.

02:18This is the only thought that he would have.

02:21He would investigate or inform the police or he would submit an advertisement in the

02:27newspaper stating that a wallet has been found.

02:30If it is yours, please come and claim it.

02:34So this is what humanity teaches.

02:38Now, on the other hand, if there is no humanity, then a person becomes like a beast, like an

02:48animal.

02:49The only thoughts he has are of, how should I spend the money?

02:53What should I do?

02:54Wow, I have won the lottery.

02:56My work is done.

02:57He feels delighted and plans to use it and spends the money.

03:03That cannot be called humanity.

03:06That is animal-like behavior.

03:10The one who thinks about others first, he is called a human.
