MAN'S ASCENT

Seeing man ascending rung after rung of the ladder linking Bhuloka with Swargadham, eminent saint-seers and impartial chronichers hailed him in eloquent terms - "Ah! marvellous! Dust thou art and thou turneth it into the gold rust best". Continuing, literary giants poured out - "What a piece of work is man! how noble in reason! how infinite it faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action and thought how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals ...." indeed man is the crown of creation and as the true replica of his Creator fulfilled the purpose of creation. So was called - Man is the measure of all things, and it gained currency. 

He rose to such dizzy height and turned himself into a rope connecting animal and super man - a rope over a precipice. This observation of Zarathustra envisages his achievements, and rightly points to the dangerous zone he is laid in. Hearing the encomiums heaped upon him, perhaps, he looked at his own image and bewildered at his astoundingly enviable position, he acquired, and the highest peak he is standing on. Certainly it is a matter of great gratification. None contradicts even by malice.
