What is the difference?
A simple question which we are asked everywhere!
From a quiz contest in a daily paper to first day of school to the all types of higher education and a must is in the examinations, (personal experience) ; p
So, same question arises for us 'the humans', isn't it ! What is the point that differentiates, rather distinguishes we humans from the other evolved beings present on earth !!!
If it is asked to any student, you can get vivid to amazing to brilliant to weird responses and the discussion will definitely seem endless.
Still I ask you all, again the same question i.e, what is the actual difference ????
Is it the living, no. They are eating sleeping in accordance with their need and capacity. They are full fledged organisms. Right ! Is it the thinking?
Still the answer is no. Birds, our pets, other beings too think, respond, react, feel and observe.

I will share with you all an excerpt which I read in the book *The Mind- its mysteries and control* by Swami Sivananda. He commented on -What exactly is the difference! !!!
"The man not only *knows* but he *knows that he knows*. The man not only *feels* or *senses* things, but he has words to express his feelings and sensations.'I know this book,' 'I know also, that I know this book'. This is a self - consciousness peculiar to human beings only."
Isn't it wonderful people as if words have been put like pearls on a string. And the funny thing is we tend to neglect this very self- consciousness. We all must have observed so many people including ourselves, who are just unaware of what they are doing! What comes to mind is - OK, you are doing this but why exactly are you doing this ? To talking on phone while driving, to eating five rusgullas (a traditional Indian sweet) as if from the next day these are going to get banned from the Earth.
Even I might have acted sometime in this manner, but the good thing is now I KNOW :) And I am definitely going to improve my sense of awareness. What about you guys !
It would be great to know any of your incidences when you KNEW !
