The Secret of Being Happy - 4.




(Spoken on October 19, 1972)
4.

The quality involved and hidden behind the quantity is the Truth of that quantity. What is the worth of a human being? Not the size of the body, not the weight, not the structure which is visible to the eyes. How do we judge the value or the worth of a person? Is it by looking at the height or the width or the weight or the relationship the body has with other beings? It is nothing of the kind. The worth of a human being is the quality of the human being.

The quality is different from the quantitative bodily structure. Though we know that quality is superior to quantity and the value of a human being is qualitative, we are unable to comprehend what this quality is. Inasmuch as we fail to understand the Truth value, or the quality of a human being, we make the mistake of judging the worth of a human being by riches, by possessions, and by objective relationships, which are all quantitative measurements.
