There are two parts to us - human and being. These correspond to the form and formless or evanescent and permanent in us. Being (verb) is our very essence - consciousness itself. Is my consciousness different from yours? At this level, we are all essentially one. Have u ever been at a task so vigorously and then after its completion taken that moment of rest? For a little while, our thoughts almost shut down and we r very present - in the moment. And it feels so good. Why? Because all our love n happiness and goodness flows from 'being' and we r closest to feeling it purely in the NOW, with our thoughts fading away.
Human is the ever-changing body-mind complex. Our particular combination of body n thoughts and feelings (which are reflection of thoughts on our body) provide a unique albeit limited experience in consciousness and is therefore invaluable. But in itself, human is a surface self of disparities made coherent only by 'being.' Ignoring being gives a superficial existence full of strife n suffering. Ignoring human results in a blissed out impractical state. Only when we become aware of both are we a human being.
