Human Nature and notion of Ideal State in Religion: A Glimpse

Dr. Minakshi Sethy

Manis a rational and conscious animal. Because of this quality, he is called as anethical animal too. He can distinguish between good and bad, vice and virtue.He has better realization and application of cultural and religious values. Hisbehavior and understanding makes him special, unique creatures of thisuniverse. He/she not only focuses on his/her progression in life, haveresponsibility for others in the society. Sattva quality makes him calm andbalanced person, rajas quality fulfills his cosmic desires and tamasa qualityshows his negative side. When all these three qualities mixed with each other,have the scope of better output. The aim and the great intention of any socialdecision are to create social cohesion, not social revolution. And that socialcohesion makes a society/state as an ideal state.
