What is a man?

What makes one a human being is one who understands their constitutional position beyond the material designations. Such we are not this material body, IE; race, color, nationality, religion, gender, intellect, mind, job, etc. To realize we are all eternal spirit souls part and parcel of the Supreme Soul also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, Rama, ect. That we never die, only this material body dies. When one understands these things then they become human. Otherwise they are just in a human form with animal propensities. Eating, sleeping, mating, and defending. Humans are meant for self realization. (Bhakti Yoga) offering all of ones activities, words, intelligence in the service of the Lord, named above. A man is to serve God and protect their dependents if they are a husband or father or leader, they are to engage their dependents in the service of God.This is the ancient Vedic wisdom for info go to harekrishnatemple.com Read Bhagavad Gita as it is By Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada.
