Human beings have been endowed with the intelligence and discriminative faculty of heightened degree in order to enable them to visualise the Atma. This is the reason why men are acclaimed as the crown of creation, and why the scriptures proclaim that the chance of being born as man is a very rare piece of good fortune. Human beings have the qualifications, urge and the capacity needed to seek the cause of Creation. People should endeavour to promote peace, prosperity and safety. They should use the forces and things in nature for promoting happiness and pleasure. They are approved by the Vedas themselves. (SSVahini, pp. 1-2)
