” The Rishis considered man as the supreme being because man seems to be the only living creature in the universe who is independent for his rational conqests and is the sacred being which, through intellectual conviction, can gain a firm control over the emotions of the mind and apply this regulated and controlled energy for purposes of transcending psychological existence and thereby, peep into the boundless realms of bliss and beauty, love and perfection.””
By Swami Chinmayananda).
